17 MUSCLES

Set the scene -
Radiant light from above...airy fog cover... harps/violins/angelic chorus in the background... sourceless, unexplainable breeze wafting hair around. Sudden pin light on male and female leads... slo-mo running...
Now, this is what happens when people meet in the movies or teen dramas on television, or made-for-tv specials on the Lifetime channel.
In real life, you meet your funky hat-wearing bf for the first time in a cool downtown pubish sportsbar famous for a 'pimps&ho's' halloween ball, a considerable beer selection, and a ginormous television. The nerves disappear quickly enough and you soon figure out (hopefully this always happens, though I offer no personal guarantees) that you can honestly be friends in person, and you do genuinely like them. And their girlfriend, who turns out to be really funny, sweet, sassy and (do not take this the wrong way, i just never noticed) surprisingly kinda tall.
Hope to hang out with both again soon... thanks for an interesting and fun Saturday afternoon!
Fade to black.
