”I met Ellen in 2001 when I weighed 168 pounds. I don’t know if I was that weight exactly, but I was heavy enough that the thought that she might have found me attractive or that we could have been a couple never entered my mind.
I remember being so excited and overjoyed to be around her that I can still reccall the feeling of running after her backstage at a concert we were both attending. I caught up to her, sat next to her at a table, and bought her a drink […]
I remember what we talked about and a joke she made as we were looking down at the mosh pit. I embarrassed myself by laughing too much and too loudly at the joke, but I simply couldn’t stop. I thought she was the most amazing person I had ever met. Highly intelligent, sharply observant, and funny. She was so beautiful it seemed that light emanated from her bright blue eyes.
I had to be the best night of my life. I felt good about myself around her. I was excited and yet comfortable.
At the end of the night, she invited me to come over to her house with the group of friends she’d met at the concert. I thought she was just inviting me to be polite, and I was too shy, too fat, and too insecure to go to her house with her friends. As it turns out, she had invited those people over only so she would have the excuse of a party to invite me to so she could get to know me better. She was attracted to me. She was attracted to me as a 168 pound woman with a face like pie.
The fact that she got stuck entertaining a whole bunch of people at her house that night because of me is still something we laugh about.”
