guirdex. plain and simply.
thank you braganz. for being my host and taking me to h&m. (btw i left my red shirt in your car.)
so i spent this past 5 days in massachusetts. on friday i met guirdex. [geer-dex]. i walked into the room (i had gone to phillips academy in andover for a grad school thingy) and i saw him across and to the right of the room--ppl were sitting into chairs. and i thought to myself, "hmm...i hope he (that guy) is cool."
and he was.
but first he was weird. he has short black dreds that are very random and somewhat thick. and he wears glasses. and he like wearing the colors grey, and olive/army green. he loves to read. african american and carribbean literature. and he is haitian. and he grew up between haiti, france, and new york where he lives now and goes to school. he is the same height as me pretty much, maybe a little bit taller. and he has darker skin. he is more like me than he isn't. what i mean is that we are both dorks. and earthy people. he is beautiful and amazing.
while i was resting, he read me the preface to "cat on a hot tin roof". and later i read it to him.
this whole thing is amazing, really. i really believe he is my soulmate. i trust him completely, and i feel like i love him. its the way he holds his hands when he is just sitting there, its the way he handles a cigarrette. and the way he strikes the matches when he's lighting up. he's skinny, just the way i would want him to be. when he smiles he shows all of his white teeth.
when we said goodbye to each other, after having spent two days in boston together, he took my red sleeveless shirt, saying, "if this fits me, then its mine."
last night over the phone he gave me my first french lesson. i'm slow but whatever.
i love the way he says the word "actually" and the word "whatever."
i can't believe this, but it is happening. for crazy. for reals. for sure.
i know you think this is just another foreign guy that jamie has found. but he is much more than that. ninampenda. he's so polite. he's such a gentleman.
when he talks he puts all of his words together sometimes, so i have to ask him to repeat. plus his slight accent sort of mixes things together. sometimes. he's so comfortable. he's so great.
