Strange but true... |
Wednesday, 15 November 2006 |
...in a public announcement style post designed specifically to freak one person out, David, sweetheart, I never said I stopped fancying you.
It was simply that we were moving in different directions: me, towards a continent currently covered in snow; you, towards vacuous drunk blonde 19 year old sopranos. *nonchalant shrug* Different strokes...so to speak.
So I severed our relationship prior to it´s gangrenous demise into something smelly.
But in other news, I´m in Brasilia. The weather oscillates between cloudy and humid to hot and dry. It´s lovely. I should get pedicures and leg waxes far more frequently, I find myself inordinately attracted to my own feet now. Is this the second stage of the (likely) foot fetish?
And to confuse things further, the women here are far hotter than the men. *sigh* Am I crossing over? Is this me ¨moving on¨from my gay-man crushes (oh come on, I´m not afraid to admit it! I just LOVE my four main squeezes!) to the next gender/preference in the hazy scale of sexuality? Or am I just sooooooo inordinately pissed off with the general behaviour of heterosexual males (as a race) that I´m giving up?
Alternatively, come on! Who wouldn´t be attracted to someone with an elfin bronze face with almond eyes, brown silky long hair tied into a ponytail and a body to DIE for?
Oh, and, should you ever need to fly long haul, and consider yourself a bit of a foodie, go Air France. Crap leg room, but a trolley down the back to which you can `help yourself´throughout the flight (yummy sandwiches of prosciutto and brie, or Haagen Daaz ice cream, juices, wines etc.) more than makes up for it. Especially if you´ve a seat beside you.
But whatever you do, don´t change destinations of your flight midway through the vein solidifying process, otherwise it means you end up in Sao Paulo (say) without a ticket to Brasilia, since your ticket still says that you travelled via Rio! |
