Deperately Seeking Kim
It may be a desperate to be looking for someone you spent only 12 hours of your life with. A one night stand 2 years ago. In New York City. I think about her often.
It was 2004, a saturday night (24th of July) at Henrietta Hudsons. They were renovating half the premises and so it felt like there were twice as many people - very overcrowded. She was there with her nurse friend - Alice or Felice or something.
This friend lived on the Lower East Side at some big block of flats on a corner. She had just finished a really long shift and was about to start another long shift at 7am the next morning. We dropped her off - drunk off her arse at about 2am. I was at Henrietta's alone. I always travel alone b/c my friends never have the time &/or money. It took a lot of talking to myself to get me to go into a bar alone in a different country.
But it was not her friend I was interested in - it was her of course. We hit it off pretty much straight away and I saw her for the last time on the Sunday morning, 11am at Astor Place where she dropped me off.
What I know about her:
* she was 31 ( i think)
* owned a Jeep
* lived in brooklyn near some sort of overpass. She was top floor at the top of the stairs (only 2 or 3 flights) & next door to an old man that was sweeping the sidewalk when we arrived at her place (at 3am??)
* was ultra-warm-bodied. She like to have the fan on full speed even though it wasn't hot.
* liked George Michael and Evanescense
* hadn't travelled o/s before & was too scared to since 9/11. She did travel to the west coast to see Barbara Streisand in concert, however.
* had 2 cats - BG and GG - bad girl & good girl (but their behaviour was opposite)
* liked sailing
* thought that shark attacks happened every day in Australia
* had a tattoo on her upper right arm
* work for the NYPD as a detective
* liked her egg whites
* ran 2 miles a day (or something like that)
* fried her computers hard drive
* wanted to start writing childrens books
What she knows about me:
* that I'm Australian & was travelling alone. She liked to call me Koala
* she knows my Aunts phone number in NYC b/c I put it in her mobile phone at the club under the name 'Ruth'. She wanted to put it under 'koala'.
* I was studying engineering
* I was going to Canada in 2 days
* i was 22
Why am I writing all this??
I am going to NYC in August this year & would very much like to meet up with her again. I haven't been able to get her out of my mind.
If you can help please contact me at daniim1@gmail.com. Thank you.
