The whole "Sue" thing is kind of a funny story. I'm not sure exactly how we met. I know it was through MySpace, but I'm not sure who contacted whom or why. What I do know is that only after a few conversations she told me her birthday was coming up and she didn't really have anyone to do anything with. Anyone who knows me knows I a-love a challenge, and b-am kind of a big deal when it comes to gifts and surprises. So, I just told Sue to meet us at the Hookah Lounge and we'd take care of the rest. I had invited a lot of mutual friends and just friends of mine who seem to get along well with everybody along. We rented out the back room of the Hookah lounge which was PHENOMENAL. Rich, saturated colors, millions of silk pillows on the floor, silk drapings everywhere. The ambience was great. The only problem was, when the actual party started, the party consisted of me...Katie...and eventually Sue. No one else showed up!
Desparate times call for desparate measures. I started meeting girls in the bathroom and invited them back to share our hookah. The next thing I know, there's close to 50 people chatting, laughing...and as the Universe normally does, some really interesting "coincidences" started to happen. People I met in the bathroom actually KNEW Sue but had no idea she was there or that it was her birthday. So it all worked out in the long run. Sue always makes me laugh, which is by far the best medicine. We've helped walk each other through some pretty hairy situations, always trying to find the humor in situations, no matter how bleak they may appear.
Good for Sue, but bad for me...Sue's life is taking her on a path that's led her back to Austin, so though she's farther away now, I'm sure our paths will cross again. I hope she finds health, wealth, happiness and success on this, her new leg in life.
