yesterday...

so i met anna yesterday and we had a really good time. i
couldn't find her place so i was a little late, and her
and her roommate were sitting on their "stoop" waiting for
me. she told me later, that the roommate was doing
a "psycho test" on me to see whether i was a weirdo or
not...apparently i'm not a weirdo ;) i'm always worried
when i meet new people, because despite the fact i talk to
random strangers all day long at work, i'm very bad at
small talk. all i had down was "how's school? how's your
new place? and how do you know sharon?" other than that
i was totally lost :) but she totally carried the
conversation...she sure had a lot to say, and it was
interesting too. she reminded me of marc a bit in that
way, which is perfect. so i made a comment afterwards
that i was glad that she was so "talky" because i'm very
shy. she said she didn't find that at all, which
impressed me because i like to be lied to ;) she's blonde,
about 5'3", 22, glasses, good looking girl. she went to U
of T (toronto not tennessee or texas or any other U of T)
and lived with her parents up to this moment. i told her
i found that hard to believe because the day i turned 18 i
wanted to move out. she knew ottawa a bit because she was
a tourguide for middleschools going to ottawa and quebec
city. she had also been on exchange trips to italy (where
she met sharon) and been on trips over to spain, france,
etc. so i joked that she was a globetrotter, while i had
never been further east than montreal, further south than
northern new york and further west than winnipeg. she
kinda laughed and said she had never been to montreal ;)
she said that her roommate was cool, liked horses, and was
a lesbian. normally that would be a turn-on, if she was a
lesbian like the ones on t.v., but from what i saw of her,
she was one of those hairy, manly, lesbians. :) just to
be sure, anna confirmed to me that she was *not* a
lesbian, which was a relief because she didn't talk about
boyfriends or anything. she's an immigrant, moved to
canada from poland when she was 5. no accent though.
she's at that point in life where she was about to grow up
and doesn't want to (if that makes sense). she's a
dreamer, she was like, yeah after teacher's college i
don't want to teach right away, i want to run away to
spain or japan or something. the impression i got (which
i just though of actually) is that she's afraid she's
missing something, so she's afraid of "settling". i don't
know if that will work out for me or not :) she painted
my picture pretty good, she made a comment like i have
nothing good to say about my life. i guess i am an open
book. here's a cryptic comment she made. she said that
normally when she talks to someone on the phone or email
she has a mental picture of what they look like, but with
me she had nothing. i don't know if that's good or bad.
anyways, so i asked her what kind of places she liked to
go to, and she said that she liked "holes". so i
said "you like biker bars?" and she said not necessarily,
but the kind of place where you can barf in the corner and
no one will notice. i like her already :) so i'll give
her a call next weekend, and we'll see what happened. she
has a lot of work to do at school, and she must've told me
she was lazy 300 times yesterday, so i sent her this email
(like a moron) saying "quit reading your email! get back
to work :)" and she never replied back at all, so i don't
know if a) she really didn't check her email b) no
interest. the only really bad thing she has, is that she
smokes, which she apologized for 100 times, and i replied
with my standard "no problem, my mother smoked at the
breakfast table for 18 years, we had smoked eggs and
smoked bacon for breakfast everyday" so we had a drink at
the brig, then walked down to sparks street because some
guy told her about this dj thing at the brixton academy on
sparks street...i have no idea where that is, but we found
it then stopped for a bite to eat. she's not looking for
commitment, and she's only here till april so maybe i'll
give this a go. i've decided...i'm asking her out for
drinks this weekend. :) i don't know if she's interested
though...sure i'm fun and all, but i'm basically settled down and
that is like a sin to her. well that's enough rubbish for
today...the song of the day is LOLA by the kinks...no
particular reasons except it's been in my head for weeks
now

i met her in a club down in north soho
where you drink champage and it tastes just like coca cola
C-O-L-A cola

she walked up to me and she asked me to dance
i asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she
said "lola"
L-O-L-A Lola, lo lo lo lola

well i'm not the world's most physical guy
but when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine
oh my lola, lo lo lo lola, lo lo lo lola

well i'm not dumb but i can't understand
why she walks like a woman and talks like a man
oh my lola, lo lo lo lola, lo lo lo lola

well we drank champagne and danced all night
under electric candlelight
she picked me up and sat me on her knee
she said "little boy, won't you come home with me?"

well i'm not the world's most passionate guy
but when i looked in her eyes
i almost fell for my lola
lo lo lo lola, lo lo lo lola

i pushed her away
i walked to the door
i fell to the floor
i got down on my knees
i looked at her and she at me

well that's the way that i want it to stay
i always want it to be that way for my lola
lo lo lo lola

girls will be boys and boys will be girls
it's a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world
except for lola. lo lo lo lola, lo lo lo lola

well i left home just a week before
and i never ever kissed a woman before
lola smiled and took me by the hand
she said "little boy, gonna make you a man"

well i'm not the world's most masculine man
but i know what i am and that i'm a man
so is lola
lo lo lo lola. lo lo lo lola
