Canada Day weekend... Maybe it was a good idea, maybe it was the worst idea ever...
The judge is still out on that one... Cause it was soo fun... but there was just something...
I drove out there with my best bud KT. Its such a beautiful drive, I love the mountains. Now, KT used to be a roommate of mine, and she's one of my best closest friends... and she doesn't have a clue about me. But, I guess thats valid cause *I* don't really have a clue about me... But her Gaydar sucks. I have examples, but I won't get into it... now...
A fair amount of time driving(when not conversing with KT) was spent with me thinking how easy this couldve been, just to come out for a weekend, or a day, or something to see Angel.
So, we get into town, we're staying with some friends downtown, ironically enough they live just off Davies... For those who don't know, thats the gay district. Little did we know that this weekend was going to be a gay-fest... Day 1, Claudia comes out and takes us to breakfast at this little place on Davies, so good. And we were constantly surrounded by the most flamboyant guys and most stereotypical chicks, it was almost funny. The owner guy of this place walked and talked the walk and talk, and there were a couple of chicks that looked bikerish, with half mohawks making out on the street... oh man. And then we decided to play "Who's Gay" Claudia, the expert, me, the pro and....KT... who lost... a lot.
Later that day we went for a 6 hour walk around Vancouver, saw the sights, had some fun. We stopped to watch the parade with its obligatory Gay Pride portion. And then the fireworks, we went out to the beach and watched, from some distance away, but they were still pretty good... it was no Thunder in the Valley, but it was good. The whole time I was out there all I wanted was someone to be with... Fireworks make me lonely...
Anyway... to catch you up, Angel and I have be talking. Thats a story on its own, but all you need to know is we talk. Anyway, we talked about me coming out there, and she invited us out for dinner, but that fell through, so we ended up going for breakfast Saturday morning. On the way there, I got kind of nervous...
Angel got there first, then KT and I showed up, I walked in, she sees me before I see her... She calls my name and I recognize her voice, I turn and see her, she looks exactly like her pictures. So cute. We got our table, and we waited for her girlfriend, who was a few minutes late. We sat there at the table, kind of making small talk, then Angel looks and tells me that Jo(her girlfriend) is here.. I turn around and get my first actual look... I had seen a picture, but it didn't really do her justice. She was a lot taller than I had expected, her legs were mmm. And she has gorgeous eyes... But im not allowed to talk about her, cause im sure Angel will read this eventually...
So, breakfast went really well, Jo was totally cool, and under different circumstance, im sure we wouldve been friends... I tried, and she put forth a solid effort, but I made her uncomfortable, and a little jealous. She would never admit it, nor would she say anything, but I could tell. Anyway, it was great, and we go to leave, and we are saying goodbye, and out of nowhere, Angel decides to hug me. Wrong choice... It was like one of those slow motion moments when you realize someone is about to do something really stupid... I saw the look on Jo's face, and it killed me. Curse my uncontrollable empathy. But before I could stop it, she was hugging me. A part of me wishes I stopped it, I coulda straight armed her, or SOMETHING... But it happened, and I promptly booked it out of there, but not before hearing Jo get a lil upset. I didn't think much of it, cause there was nothing really between us, and therefore- nothing to be jealous of.
Later we ended up going to dinner with KT's lesbian friends. Cute couple. Over dinner we were talking and they asked KT if she was ok with gay men. To which KT replied that if she was ok with Gay women, she was ok with gay men, then she asked why. And they told her that one of her friends had come out to them, and they just wanted to know if she was safe. KT, Ms. HorribleGaydar, had no clue who it could be. I called it and I wasn't even really friends with the guy. Which in retrospect, I kinda outted him, but KT's safe, so I don't really feel bad.
All in all I had a fetching great time. It was so nice... just to be around people that accept that. And thats the end of this part, I'm breaking the explanation of the weekend up, cause this is too long already... and i've soo much more to say.
