You don't think that's creative?
No, I don't, sorry.
(laughs)
Maybe a little bit.
Okay, tell me how everything's going at home.
Did you just ask me about my home life?
Oh my god, you did... Wow.
Guilty!
Well, not far from it, really. My mom and dad want me to go see a therapist.
Oh, well that's because being gay is equal to being crazy.
***, I hope not. I think it's more like they're just worried my life is going to be more difficult now, you know?
'Cause people are just stupid about stuff like that, and they just want me to have a support network. The shrink.
So they're cool?
They're my parents. Of course they're not cool!
Not because of this though, they're just uncool because they go to bed before 9pm and think that fractal-ey looking broccoli is super thrilling.
Fractal-ey looking broccoli is super thrilling.
Okay, touché... touché, maybe not the best example.
Hey, do you remember that time I made fun of The Odyssey and you were all "But I really like The Odyssey"
(laughs)
Yeah...
and I got so awkward, and I like tried to back-pedal and I just ended up looking like a total moron.
I couldn't tell if you were just being a follower again or if you actually did like The Odyssey.
I did! I did really like it, okay?
I really liked you, I just didn't know what to do, you know?
It was like every time we hung out or even just saw each other it was like the entire universe was conspiring in our favor.
It was like that scene in the West Side Story with the amazing and cheesy effects, you know, like in the dance hall?
Oh, with red and yellow and all the colors.
LIke the blurring and stuff?
Yeah.
Actually now that I think about it, not that ridiculous. It's something more magnetic, you know?
Not overtly ***, just... wonderful.
It was like we were always drawn to each other and always clicked.
And then that day everything was just so weird. What was that?
I guess at first I felt like I was courting you, you know?
and then you started pursuing me hardcore, and I was like "Whoa, is this girl actually interested? I mean, she's obviously never been with a girl before.
It's like am I just a science experiment or...?
No...
'Cause when things are serious for me and I wind up being more cautious.
You? Cautious? Never. I don't believe you.
Okay, okay more close to the vest.
You were so... you were so green, I'm like is this really what I want, are you going to have some existential crisis I'm going to have to deal with?
So you weren't sure if you wanted me?
I didn't say that.
That's exactly what you said.
No, no, no I didn't.
I love you, you know that?
I love you too
So, what did you think of me when you first saw me?
Oh, okay, I see. College girl getting all introspective, gonna write an essay about it or something.
I'll tell youuuuu, if you want to know.
Okay, what did you think of me when you first met me?
Well, since you asked...
I remember seeing you leave Miss Griener's class just like you had come out of an epic battle.
You were just successful and you were driven, you were just so smart, and so cool, and so *** intimidating.
and I swear to god you are the only person I still know who rolls their cigarettes, and is amazing at it, by the way.
Look who's talking, I couldn't even talk to you in the hallway!
You're so unfair. Like, you're beautiful. You're like Lisa Loeb and I'm like some gangly stupid person.
What? don't even go there.
You're amazing, and you're funny, and you were standing out there and I made you say hi to me.
Like "H-Hi, hey what's going on?"
Do we have to keep going or...? Can I stop?
Don't you think it's kind of sexy to feel loved? To have someone let you in their mind like that?
to have that consent with someone?
I do...
You're adorable.
You agree?
Yes I do.
Okay, ask me anything, ask me whatever you want.
Hmm... do you know how to do a cartwheel?
Mmhmm
Can you teach me?
Mmhmm.
I never learned how to do one.
You want to do it?
-Yeah! Let's do it. -I'll teach you.
Okay, let's go...
