So I never do anything anymore but ring or e-mail Cynthia, Melody and Amanda and whine "He did this and I did this and he said this...do you think he likes me?" And they, being the good loyal friends that they are, say "Yes! Go get him! Fetch!!" I have this very funny image in my head of The Candyman standing there all unknowing (doop-dee-doop-dee-doo), and me with those three behind me pushing me forward as I'm backpeddling frantically.

Here's another story from Saturday:

We were at the Botanical Gardens and he bent down and picked up some sort of fruit thing that had fallen from a tree (I believe that is the proper botanical term) and I said "Eat it!" and then he did! He took a bite out of it and I went "Eeeyeeww! I can't believe you did that! You're such a boy!" And he said "Well, you're such a girl! You say 'Eat it' and if I didn't do it you'd have made fun of me but then when I do you go 'Eeeyeeww'! It's a no-win situation!"

He bit a crab apple because I dared him to...God that's romantic.

We were sitting on the couch in my living room watching a video and there was about a foot of space between us and I had no more idea of how to cross that space than I have of how to walk from here to Kenya.

And then when we walked to the subway we sort of stood there looking at each other and wrapping things up, and that foot of space had doubled and I abruptly said "Bye then!" and he said "Bye!" and walked into the subway and we didn't touch each other at all.

And I can't imagine ever doing anything differently.

So last night I developed two of the four rolls that I took of the man, as one was still in the camera and one is colour so that means a different darkroom.

I was not impressed with myself.

I mean, Lord knows that the model was beyond reproach in terms of ultimate beauty, but the photographer was none too brilliant. Coupla good ones, but nothing special. I was distracted with trying to be sparkling and everything...
