Yesterday marked the fifteenth “anniversary” of Jim and my first date. We went to a Mexican restaurant (where I didn’t eat anything) and then saw Jim Carrey perform stand-up at the college where Jim went. I was a senior in high school, and we were doubling with my coworker/classmate and her boyfriend. It just so happened that she was best friends with Jim’s ex-girlfriend. Yeah, soap opera saga. Anyway, it was one of Jim Carrey’s last performances in front of a live audience because Ace Ventura had just been released, and Dumb and Dumber was to be released later that year. It was a great first date, and now we have a special affinity for anything done by Jim Carrey.
