Sunday - I was working at CPK all day. During the lunch shift, I waited on these two gay men. They were cracking a lot of jokes and being very nice to me. I wouldn't necessarily say they were flirting with me, but they were definitely being more social with me than most. When they paid the bill, I realized that they overpaid by like twenty dollars, so I brought them change. When I did that, one of them looks at me and says, "Oh no, that's for you!" and then he grabs my hand pulls me in close and whispers into my year, "By the way, cutest butt in Boston." I blushed and just said, "Thanks so much!" Of course I handled the situation uber-awkwardly. But I was flattered. That was actually just what I needed to hear.
Monday - I went Christmas shopping with my friend Brittany. It was the comfiest experience. We listened to Christmas music in the car, it started snowing, we found all the greatest deals and discounts, and had some delicious P.F. Chang's. Our waitress even told us about the legend of the cat!
Tuesday - I went to Stella with my friend Nick. Stella is a bar in the South End where the "classy" gays like to hang out. We were feeling classy, so we hit it up. The second we sat down, though, the guy beside us (who was wasted out of his mind) said, "You guys look like you're seventeen!" To which I responded, "We moisturize! You can thank my friend Aveeno." And then he proceeded to tell us about the wonders of cocaine and he started calling us "lil' homos." He told us if we found him some cocaine we could take him home and do whatever we want to him! Unfortunately, Nick left his cocaine in his other bag (that's a joke...neither of us do cocaine).
Wednesday - I flew home to North Carolina and experienced the awful, struggness that is LaGuardia airport. The airport is actually from the stone ages. They had pay phones everywhere. They even had a row of phone booths. I felt like I was in the eighties. My gate changed 4 times within a 15 minutes time period. And the workers were being intercom whores the whole time. Sometimes multiple people were speaking on the intercom simultaneously and I would miss the gate change.
Thursday - I had lunch with my friends from home. This is an interesting experience because my friends from home know me in a way that my current friends will never know me. But at the same time, they don't really know me as I am right now. So it's this whole game of catching up and trying not to make a bad impression and trying to be your old self while still staying true to your new self. Maybe I'm just overly neurotic about it all, but I find it mildly stressful. Especially since I feel like I've changed a lot over the past four years. It's my last winter break, though, so I guess I better enjoy this time off while I have it. Life is moving fast. I just gotta keep up with it.
