Sometimes it blows my mind that there are people that don’t wear glasses/contacts. Like they can literally see with no aid. Like they wake up and just be out here seeing. What a wild concept.
Went to fancy movie theater with date. Decide to buy a bottle of wine. Go back to bar. Ask for two glasses. Bartender says he needs two ID’s. I’m too lazy to go back to seats to grab dates ID. Tell him I’m alone and was embarrassed to ask for just one glass. He is clearly sympathetic. Idiot me then tries to sell the story and continue on about how lonely I’ve been recently. He tells me he’s off in a few minutes and insists on watching the movie with me. I try to fight it but I could only argue so much without giving away the truth. Bartender is insistent. I text my date what’s happening. Go back to theater with my new date. Sit a few rows in front of my first date. She has the stupidest grin on her face as me and the bartender (Jared) sit a couple rows in front of her. He ends up being super cool and bought me and him another bottle during the movie. Movie ends. I thank him for his gesture. He didn’t even ask for my number or anything. I think Jared was just a genuine guy trying to comfort someone. Met back up with my date in the parking lot and thankfully she found the whole thing hilarious.
Rebecca Yanovskaya is a freelance illustrator working in the fantasy,
sci-fi and horror genres. She frequently illustrates mythological
stories, natural forces, and aesthetically strong characters. Rebecca’s
influences include decorative arts, neoclassical and Pre-Raphaelite
arts, and theatrical costuming. Despite most artists in her genre using
digital and traditional painting tools, she has made the choice to
construct her pieces with ballpoint pen and gold leaf. As one of the
only primarily ballpoint pen artists working in fantastic realism, her
work is easy to identify. A combination of epic scope and
moody atmosphere define her signature style, in what can be described as
the “Art of the Sublime”.
