The Parisian Way: Following Love
She rolls up the ankle of my left leather pant twice.
"This, is the Parisian way." she says in her perfect French accent.
She is stunning and effortlessly cool.
She is stunning and effortlessly cool.
"How did you end up here in Montreal?" I ask.
"Love." she says.
Eating Dog Food, Buying Roses For My GF, And Secret Admirers
Lady at the pet food store: "Hopefully your dog likes this kind and it doesn't make her sick."
Me: "Oh it's actually for both of us."
She laughs
Me: "It's so much better than what they served in prison."
Haha! Making friends.
And I got roses for my super amazing girlfriend. I still can't believe how amazing she is. Oh, did I mention she is amazing? Amazing.
And I got my arm painted with henna at the company work picnic today which was super rad.
What a great week!

Also someone left this note on my car under my windshield wipers on Thursday...pretty darn nice...

Tinder Vs. Plenty Of Fish. Notes from a seasoned sailor-ess.
TINDER:
She punches me in the arm. Kinda hard. It hurts but she follows it up with, "Shut up! You are so cute. You make me nervous." And then she giggles. We both cheshire cat smile. Cobbles underneath our feet. I was teasing her about something-hence the punch-but I can't remember what now....she has nice hair. I'm distracted. Old staircases hang off the heritage buildings. "Want a sip of my beer?"She raises her eyebrows. Eyebrows. We talk about eyebrows. Bits of the night fly back into my memory. Yes, she has man eyebrows she says. We laugh. We laugh and laugh and laugh. This is good. More of this please.
Instant rewind 4 years:
PLENTY OF FISH:
He opens the door. 35 pairs of sneakers in boxes arranged by his front door. He says he is a nurse. Riiiiight. You aren't fooling anyone buddy, but ok. We sit on his couch. I have known him for about 30 minutes.
Him: "Do you have any piercings?"
Me: "Ears, you?"
He pulls out his Netherlands from his pants to show me it is pierced.
Me: "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?"
I leave.
Who does that on a first date?! WHO?! Gross.

Orange Is The New Brandy
No. I'm not in prison. But I think I'm in love.
She's amazing, funny, smart, beautiful, and it's not a phase.
My Mom made me buy Sioned O'Connor instead of Spice girls. Is this why I'm gay? Or is it because I like Tegan And Sara before they were out of the closet. I can't believe I was ever in my closet...there are so many shoes in there....so crowded....
I wanted to tell you long ago but you see I was afraid. And was in a dark place. But now I am living in a place full of soft kisses and hand holding and glitter and rainbows!
My girlfriend and I are on a crowded rooftop patio party. She touches my back and I smile at her. We kiss. In public! My friend lights up a joint on a heat lamp. The music is pumping- JayZ cause Beyonce is coming to town. We get super drunk and stumble home. I put on some Songza. Currently really into "Pacific Coast Highway Drive". Check it out guys.
Everyone at work knows I am dating a girl. And they don't give a damn. Welcome to the 21st century. Even my Dad knows! It's all good. I've lost 80 pounds of denial and guilt. I'm terrified to post this.
But I am who I am. This is who I am.
