Does anyone else have uncles that actually use the phrase "You bring honour to the family"? I didn't think I did, either.
There are days when it's easy to forget that I was a psychopathic, Trekkie tomboy for the better part of my 20 years, and other times when I wonder if this blue duffel coat is just hiding the brutally obvious. I ran into a guy I've known on and off since Grade 10 on the way to the grocery store, and after some healthy banter about bleached hair and distinctive posture, he asked if I was going to the debate tourny this weekend.
No, says me; I have tickets to a play and am taking That Boy, seeing as I'm not really going to be around during Reading Break and hence Hallmark Day. Also, he hates all things to do with debate -- which is why said guy has never seen him.
The reply: no kidding, we wondered about that and thought you were joking about the boyfriend or something.
I made a resolution to "make each day a good day", but I'm still struggling with the conflicting ideas that I could be seeing someone and yet also be seen as thoroughly undateable. Maybe it's like The Boy says; we never did agree on a first date, and thus maybe it's all been a big mistake. In which case, it's been a terribly fun two years -- and thankfully, I don't think much will change!
