Jody's for the Weekend
So this weekend was a ton of fun. I played color consultant for his bedroom decor, and if I don't say so myself, we chose a great combination. Jody and I got his entire bedroom painted and rearranged - tre chic. Seriously, we went all twinja attack on his room. I can't wait to hear what his girlfriend thinks of it. I had a great time at his open dance night at the studio, the instructors are all really great.
"Your Team" might be my favorite new game. I would have put the Socially Slimy Soundeffect Sally sitting behind me on bus on anyone's team had it not been for the "in the line of sight" rule.
We went to this sushi place for Jody's "thanks for getting my ass motivated" dinner treat to me. Insanely great sushi, and the waiter was either extraordinarily sexist or gay. Everything was where would you like the sit, sir, would you like anything to drink, sir, do you want anything else on the menu, sir. Jody got handed the first water, hot towel, chopsticks, and the waiter would only acknowledge my presence if I spoke directly to him. So, halfway through the night we decided to do a little social experiment. When the waiter would talk to Jody, he would look at me and I would answer the question. It threw him off to say the least. At the end of the night, I got up and asked for my check. The waiter came over, put the towels next to me and the check next to Jody. He looked at me for the first time to subtly command me with his eyes and a nod to hand Jody his towel. Then told him to have a great night. Amazingly amusing.
I fall deeper and deeper in love with Alex every single day. I need to try and find a church out here that fits me.
Oh, and reason 437 for loving New York. Last night, to culminate everything, I sat next to an interracial 60ish adorable gay couple on the PATH. Same potbelly, inch thick glasses, shiny bowling ball heads. They were the full range of Elmer Fud in technicolor. I wanted to have a scone with them.
I've decided that I'm going to make more of an effort to keep in touch with people I love. I'm going to break the bad trait I got from my dad and send a text or pick up the phone more often. So, if I've had an affinity for you, watch out.
