Doing Ecstasy In The Desert

-years ago-
-laying in bed watching movies together-

Me: Oh hey! I know that actor! He's dating the actress from Men In Trees! I can't remember her name...agh....
Him: Hmmm not sure
Me: She was a lesbian for a while
Him: Hmmm
Me: And then she did ecstasy and got lost in the desert. But who hasn't done that.

He looks up from his coffee and let's out a bewildered laugh.

secret messages in thou's spaghettiOs

Thou shall not run away with thy neighbours wife
Thou shall walk thy labradoodle
Thou shall not text thou's ex
Thou shall spell secret messages in thou's spaghettiOs 
Thou shall dance around living room vigorously to Django Django!


Ladykiller

At the improv show
We sit near the back on mismatched chairs

Her: I got my haircut today
Me: Oh ya! It's the same haircut so I didn't notice. Sorry
Her: That's ok
Me: I like it....you can't really mess this up though
*I gesture to her face*
Her: You're such a ladykiller

I meant it though.



oh hey Mom....

Her: So was your Mom surprised when you told her you are gay?
Me: No. I mean, like 2 years ago I was drunk and was texting one of my friends in Vancouver and accidentally texted my Mom and was like, "Aghhhh! Why aren't there any hot lesbians on Plenty Of Fish!?"

So um ya. haha. oh man 

Beautiful Stranger

"Come into the line with us!" His friends wave for him to budge. He shakes his head no and stays behind me. He ends up buying a large and we sit on a wooden bench sharing poutine at 3am.

Him: What do you paint?
Me: Mostly portraits of people-when I first meet them. People are so beautiful. I go home and I'm just like, "Woooow this person is blowing my mind right now! I have to paint them."
Him: You see the good in people
Me: Haha my greatest skill and weakness in life. I always find parts of people's personality to love
Him: Do you have a girlfriend?
Me: No we broke up
He leaves his fork resting on a fry and looks up at me
Me: It's fine
Him: No it's not. That's what people always say when it's not fine.

I kiss him on his left cheek and say goodnight. I reach out and gently touch the side of his jawbone.
Beautiful stranger.

Rock Star

My boots make crunching sounds in the gravel.
Autumn.

Me: You look so different. Your leather jacket and shades. Like a rockstar.

He looks down at his chest and laughs

Him: Where is the party?
