spending time with my girl. my own little version of brokeback mountain. waking up next to em. keeping track of em's ever growing attorney bill and figuring out ways she can work it off. defying gravity. making em melt. spontaneous dance parties. kissing em. random encounters that make me tingle. first kisses in fun places (like the roof of shwanky hotels). the muppets. scuba diving. finding new things to wonder about. singing every willie nelson song i can think of. practicing my justin timberlake dance moves on the beach. surfing. riding my bike along the san francisco waterfront. hiking in the rain. funny speedo tans on sexy swimmer bodies. bikram yoga. trancending labels. cooking really yummy vegan food. being outside. making out on the dance floor. feeling like the only two people in the world in the middle of a crowd...or on a deserted beach. reviving my love for feminist theory that got lost in mountains of law books. sunshine. rain. waking up to good sex. getting into a speedo in the morning by 7am (when not waking up to good sex, in which case i will wait til noon ;). finally having enough time to read recreationally. being underwater. dirty summer barefeet. lounging in hammocks while the sun sets. snuggling. other people's pets. art with fire. live music. allegedly surfing off a hangover. mimosas in pint glasses. sex in odd places. knowing that everything happens for a reason. finding the value in lessons learned even unintentionally (especially unintentionally). connecting. reconnecting. understanding. my bed. the view from my roof. sundays in the park. wine. the ny times crossword. just being. just being with her. buying her tulips. loving her with every last inch of me.
i've got the girl whose hand i'll hold forever but i'm still up for meeting... debauchery, debaters, dissenters, dance partners, divers, drinking buddies, dykes with bikes, dudes who can out drink me, die hard johnny cash fans, dart masters, denver bronco's fans, dylan-esque lyricists, delirium, drummers, david bowie...and finally damn near anyone down with dawdling for dreamlike dances with the dawn (or if I must ruin my alliteration, the sunset :)**************"ghostlike we glide through nature, and should not know our place again," -emerson*************
