I went out on a single date in college with a girl who had a prosthetic leg.
I didn’t find out she had a prosthetic leg until after that first date became the last date. And then, all I could think about was that I wished I had given her more of a chance. That, had I dated her for longer than one instance, I might have found out that beneath those jeans was an actual, psuedo-bionic Fugitive-like prosthetic leg.
Now all I do is wish I had a friend with a prosthetic leg.

I’ve been thinking about something a lot lately.
How most of my friends (sorry, guys!) just don’t have the kind of panache I am looking for in a friend. The one friend I did have like this worked as a cryptologist for the government and after college had to break all ties with his buddies and disappear “off the grid” so he could do his job. Since he left my life, I don’t have one single friend who has a dangerous job, a kick-ass deformity of some kind or a personality quirk that draws attention from all four corners of the ‘burbs.
I guess that’s why I’ve decided I’d like a friend who wears an eyepatch (but isn’t a pirate).
