The Tennis: My Date with James Blake

Tonight, I took myself to the tennis. I hemmed or hawed about whether or not going to a sporting event alone was one of those things I can do. Turns out, it totally is. I was determined to document the entire thing with my spectacular photographer skills, but that ended poorly. As soon as they started playing, I was lost in numerous daydreams about what my life will be like when James and I get married (I am hoping he googles his name and then isn't creeped (apparently 'creeped' is not a word, but he certainly wouldn't be crept out. Although now its underlining 'wouldn't' -- help me help you, dictionary) out by my love for him - its a long shot, but a girl can dream, no?).

The night started with this:




A falcon with a helmet on. In Melbourne Park. It makes all the sense. If 'all the sense' is code for the opposite of logic. In which case, the fact that I got sunburned at 7 pm in January also makes all the sense.

After standing in line for nearly an hour, this man walked out on court. We made eye contact and I think I can safely speak for both of us when I say that at that moment it was clear we were meant to be together.



It was a romantic evening with two smitten people. It was like those other thousands of people weren't even there. It was a perfectly average night, he played Wii tennis while I cheered on his game and appreciated his beauty from the sofa. Le Sigh.

Marry me?

    ROTFLMAO...I've read all your tennis blogs...I've thoroughly enjoyed them...I Like your sense of humor...I myself am an avid tennis player with a love for the game...do you play? I watched the Aussie Open online this year...loved it! Would be great to be in Melbourne in 2010 to see it up close and personal.
