i went round to visit c this arvo, at his new place in como. he's moved into this gorgeous old house with hardwood floors and skylights, it's great.
anyway, imagine my surprise when i rock in there, whooping with exaggerated impressed noises and see his housemate, r, standing in the lounge.
i met r about 5 years ago, and he didn't really leave any impression on me at all. i thought he was kinda cute gangly nerdy. MY oh my has he grown. i was assailed with this immediate overpowering attraction to him, not wholly explicable because he's tall and well built and really cute. or because he's a part time artist.
i went to shake his hand goodbye when i was leaving (after a few whites drunk lying on the polished boards)and he pulled me in for a casual goodbye hug. *GASP*, it went straight to my chest and constricted.
lol. it's just one of those things that i can't say i ever really experience, but know other people do. instant attraction isn't really my thing; i'm more of a getting to know people as a friend and then going from there kind of person.
but i had to document it here because it was just such a groundbreaking sensation, at least for me. to be that instantly impressed in a primal sense.
it occurred to me: is this how men feel?
because most men i know can tell you practically instantly whether they're attracted to a girl or not.
i've always found that so foreign.. up until now.
hehe. life is full of surprises. conrad thinks i'm hilare.
