Got a ride to DC yesterday to go to the pride festival.
fun, fun, fun.
there were too many cute people everywhere, and so many HOTT
FTM's. i was all happy. i have come to the conclusion that i want to be a drag queen...ha ha ha. they get to be so gaudy, and have all the fun. not fair. lol. so alas...we tryed to go the lesbian bar for an after party, but we were unsuccessful in our efforts. which kind of sucked, so we just walked around Dupont curcle and watched all the hott lesbians make out. yum. i have a picture of one of the couples. mmmm mmmm mmmmmm.
:::HIGHLIGHT:::
On the metro ride home, there was this man who was sitting on the other side ... he was talking to himself..basically in the sense where it looked like he was having a conversation with someone, but obviously...no one was sitting there.
i went over and sat down and started talking to him. we had an awesome conversation about morals and principals in your life. he was a bit tipsy, but still coherent enough to hold this really touching conversation with me. he was telling me how grateful he was to met me, because he is so disappointed with today's youth, and it really seemed like i was an old soul that had a lot to share with the world...[insert big grin here].
i always forget how hearing someone say that seems to make everything better.
just when i feel like my life honestly has no direction, and i feel like my days are simply flying by me...someone like him comes into my life and reminds me.
it was so great because for 15 minutes or so, nothing mattered.
not my friends, my job, my girlfriend, what i was going to major in, where i was going to live, my car...NOTHING! all that mattered was the look in his eyes, and hearing what he had to say, and seeing his eyes swell up with tears...i was truly present and in that moment, and it was such an amazing feeling to do that once again.
i am starting to reconnect with myself, and who i am, and the values and issues i stand for.
welcome back courtney...i missed you.
candice is asleep in my bed, nap time i suppose, and my head is still hurting from the accident...but overall i have this calming energy about me, and with everything that is going on, i still feel quite at peace with things.
