Bahumbug. I’m sort of in this odd state between happy, hyper, and feeling shitty. BLAH is what I’d call it. Maybe . . .
Being so social and outgoing is something I really love, at least right now. This past Saturday I went out with friends, intending on going to see a movie at 7:50 but instead, I ended up with two new guy friends (who both happen to be amazingly gay) and staying out till 11pm — without ever stepping foot into the movie theatre to see the movie we had planned to see. It was great fun. And then to add more excitement to my already awesome weekend, I spent most of Sunday with my two new friends, John and Ernesto! I think two of my favourite moments from Sunday were these:
“We *waves hand between himself and me* are beautiful people! And Ernesto is adorable! We shouldn’t have to be surrounded but so many ugly people! . . . But then, when we’re around those ugly people it makes us look better in comparison!” (rough quotation of what he said) –John
*John and I are at the rollerskating rink at a church social. Note – we don’t know where Ernesto is at this point in time*
John: You know *looking thoughtfully at me* If you were a guy, I was so date you.
Me: *laugh and grin* I know, and if you were a girl, I would definitely date you.
Me: We’d make a cute… <- (being said at the same time) -> John: *is saying something but I can’t make it out*
John&Me: (said at the end of what we were both saying) gay couple.
*we both laugh*
Yeah, last night was just as much fun, especially since I was hanging out with just Ernesto and John that night, whereas Saturday there were more people there and it got a bit jumbled at certain times that evening.
It’s really amusing how close I can get to someone after only knowing them for a day or two. My parents didn’t quite understand how I could meet Ernesto Saturday night and then have him come pick me up the next day to go to tacobell, just the two of us. And I loved how John’s older sister Jennifer thought that I’d been hanging with the two guys for a long while. She seemed seriously surprised when we all laughed and said that we’d only known each other for a day.
But I’ve noticed that when you meet new people, you tend to be very fascinated with them and unintentionally, your other friends tend to take the backseat. You just want to get to know this person really well, especially when you don’t see each other every day (since, in my case, Ernesto and John go to a different high school than I do), and you wonder if they’re going to just disappear the next time you text them or something. Or at the very least, that’s how I’m like right now. Especially John; he really does interest me. The two of us have already clicked pretty well. He has even been calling me to talk about what stressful stuff has been going on with him and his boyfriend, Kyle.
And in general, gay guys just fascinate me. I find it really amusing that I used to wish so badly that I’d someday get a gay guy friend who I could hang out with and talk to about stuff and then in just a little over a month I go from having none to, I do believe six five. Brandon, Chris, John, Ernesto, and Brian (although Brian, I don’t know as well).
