So Erin and her troupe are headed back to Ottawa. I'm attracted to this girl. She's smart, funny, very beautiful, loves music. The fact that she's in a wheelchair doesn't even figure in the equation. She's beautiful when she laughs, it lights up her whole face. She's one of the most … alive, for lack of a better word… people I know. She came to breakfast with Lorraine – the woman with whom she lives – and Lorraine's daughter Emilie and one of Em's friends. <\/p>\n
To be really honest, I have trouble describing what happened in words that would make sense to myself, much less to other people. Breakfast was fun – without much interrogation – and after that, we went to Jillians, the arcade at the forum. It was fun, but I felt like a fifth wheel. I didn't get the chance to talk to Erin all that much, and I actually spent most of the afternoon with Lorraine. Basically, they all had a very intimate dynamic, and I don't know, I just felt a bit out of place. I would have loved to have the chance to talk to Erin more, but I guess I'll have the chance next week.<\/p>\n
I think she's still coming – she said she'd see me then, so I'm assuming it's still on. I think<\/i> I passed the initial screening, but it just felt bizarre as hell to have 3 chaperones, an expression Michel coined and is very appropriate. And even then, I just feel so… bewildered by the whole experience. I guess I'll find out where things stand the next time I talk to her, which should be tonight, I guess.<\/p>\n
As a side note, this song should really be added to my previous list.<\/p>\n
\nCome up to meet you,
\nTell you I'm sorry,
\nYou don't know how lovely you are.<\/p>\n
I had to find you,
\nTell you I need you,
\nTell you I set you apart.<\/p>\n
Tell me your secrets,
\nAnd ask me your questions,
\nOh, let's go back to the start.<\/p>\n
Runnin' in circles,
\nComin' up tails,
\nHeads are a science apart.<\/p>\n
Nobody said it was easy,
\nIt's such a shame for us to part.
\nNobody said it was easy,
\nNo one ever said it would be this hard.
\nOh, take me back to the start.<\/p>\n
I was just guessing,
\nAt numbers and figures,
\nPulling your puzzles apart.<\/p>\n
Questions of science,
\nScience and progress,
\nDo not speak as loud as my heart.<\/p>\n
Tell me you love me,
\nCome back and hold me,
\nOh, when I rush to the start.<\/p>\n
Runnin' in circles,
\nChasin' tails,
\nComin' back as we are.<\/p>\n
Nobody said it was easy,
\nOh, it's such a shame for us to part.
\nNobody said it was easy,
\nNo one ever said it would be so hard.
\nI'm goin' back to the start.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
