"So, do you wanna make out to Nickelback?"
Yes Folks that is a line I used this weekend. Stand in awe of my skills, because it actually worked! Haha. I am King!
Seriously though, how can a girl turn down a kiss when there is a drag queen crying on stage, and Nickelback is blaring. She can’t. She just can't.
I will explain.
I met this girl in the winter of 08, and we instantly clicked. We banter back and forth like it is a tennis match between the Williams sisters. I must be Venus, because I always win. We flirted, and had fun in the winter. But like all the interesting girls I meet, she moved away. I am going to call this girl Zing, for her incredible amount of wit and sass.
Zing moved away for about six months, she just returned home this weekend. We ran into each other, and things picked right up where they had been. She isn’t really the type of person I go for, but maybe that is a good thing. Because the people I have been going for have not been working out.
I spent the night pointing out things that were unique to Saskatchewan, things she hadn't experienced in six months. Which is how this pick up line came about. Is there anything more unique to Saskatchewan then Nickelback playing in a bar? It is hard to think of something that is. Also there was a drag queen crying on stage, how much more of a unique moment can there be for a first kiss.
The wedding I went to this weekend was beautiful. I cried like a baby. It was really wonderful to see two people who love each other so much celebrate it.
I brought my brother to the wedding, because Silk Spectre couldn't make it last minute. I felt a little bit like bringing a cousin to the prom, but I am glad I brought my bro. I had a blast with him.
We took a ton of pictures, which I have gotten a lot of feed back on. Mostly people telling me how beautiful my brother is. This is no surprise to me. I have been trying to explain for the last year how pretty he is.
What was a surprise was someone I am having 'summer fun' with show interest in him. I don't know why I even bother with straight girls. I never compare to a guy with them. It stings an extra amount because it was to my brother this time.
It did however get me motivated to work out. Nothing like a crumbling self esteem to get me doing push ups. I just have to accept I'm not ever going to win with straight girls. I am a fun fling to them, and I have been okay with that for the last year. But I'm not sure it is what I want anymore. I want someone that is proud to be with/around me, and not only when their friends or guys aren't looking.
This is a clip from a conversation I had with a friend:
Friend - "I want someone I can see the world with."
Me - "I want someone who sees the world in me, because that is what I see in the people I love."
It struck me how much I want that, I didn't even realize it til I said it. I think going to the wedding got me thinking about my life. Half of me couldn't stop celebrating my freedom, but the other half was lonely. The night was filled with couples holding hands, slow dancing, and soft kisses on each others cheek. I haven't had any of that in almost a year, and I miss it. But do I miss it enough to quiet the nomadic heart I have, or the questions that I need to find answers too?
Tonight is the midnight showing of HARRY POTTER! I am so excited! I am going with my Dad right after I finish work. I know I am going to cry when Dumbledore is killed, and I am kinda hoping my Dad does too. He is not one to cry, but if there is a reason to cry this is it.
This weekend also happens to be my favourite weekend of the entire year! It is the Ness Creek Music Festival! HAPPY-NESS! Four days in the Boral forest surrounded by love, hippies, friends and music. Falling asleep to the distant beat of a drum circle is beautiful. It doesn't get any better then that.
Ness Creek is the Las Vegas of Saskatchewan. What happens in Ness Creek, stays in Ness Creek. People get crazy! There are all kinds of drugs everywhere, though I have a ton of fun without them. It is a 24 hour, four day party. I'm really excited to be surrounded by great people, with something always going of for us to do.
Once I recover from the Ness I will post about what happened. It is guaranteed to be filled with adventures.
HAPPY-NESS

Lol you're such a charmer... always got a different girl on the go!
ReplyDeleteYou're right, often going for someone that isn't your "type" can be a good thing. People get too caught up in their requirements for a potential partner instead of just going with the flow. If you click then go with it!
I hear ya on straight girls... the thing is they tend to go for more masculine looking girls because that's what they're comfortable with. It's their way of justifying to themselves, "well at least she looked like a boy. That doesn't make me a lesbian does it?" If someone has to have a justification for being with you then are they really worth being with?
