David
David is the name of the first man I dated, but I don't write about him much because for so long he was no longer in my life. He was my first kiss, my first everything. I have tried several times to kindle a friendship that was never there, but to no avail. I did once further explain him. As the result of him, I had a quote on the wall of my apartment from Alfred Hitchcock's Rope (1948):
The Davids of this world merely occupy space.David told me (in August 1999) that he never wanted to speak to me again. It came after I told him that I didn't want him in my life anymore. He has since sent me one e-mail, which I deleted without reading. I assumed it was a harassing message, based on the subject line of "what the" [there are only two word which follow that phrase, and neither can be found in children's books, to borrow a line from Matthew's favorite Ella song]. I don't know why he wrote me after requesting to cease communication, but I also don't care. He and I are both stubborn enough to stick with it for life (or at least I thought so, but that one e-mail makes me wonder...).Recent David entries:David, I forgive you. [8 Dec. 1999]

Another David in my diary is a friend on the net. He lives in the Bay Area. David has been e-mailing me since 1 December 1998. He likes to write little parts of his e-mails in Spanish, which I can never read, since my three years of high school Spanish were shoddy to begin with, and got much worse once I took French. I can, of course, translate them with babelfish.

I also have a cousin named David, one of my few relatives who is actually interested in my geneological research. He currently resides in Manhattan... His brother lives in Israel.
