Fake Tattoos
Help! I'm obsessed! The idea of getting more tattoos is not going away. It took me five years to get the one that I already have on my shoulder. I don't regret it one bit, but I know I shouldn't rush into getting a new one just yet.
In turn, I've been playing around with some fake tattoos periodically (though inconsistently) for the past year. The picture above was taken two days ago. And yes, that's my reflection. If I recall correctly, the Chinese writings read as 'eternal summer god'.
I put it on as I was about to meet someone new.
A Sunday Afternoon Date
I had a date with *Blonde Cutie*, a very personable guy I met online who I've been chatting with for the last month. Yes boys, not another blonde! He's been anxious to meet me for weeks. But he's a workaholic, and I've been busy with volunteer work in the evenings. So when I called to tell him the news that I stayed in town, he jumped at the chance to meet me.
(Back to the tattoo obsession talk: Blonde Cutie later confess that he was impressed and drawn to the tattoos. I think this is a sign for me to go forward with more. Anyways...)
Off I lead Blonde Cutie to check out the Toronto Street Festival, the Outdoor Art Festival, and then to Church Street to dine at O'Grady's patio. (Note to self: unless I'm there ONLY for drinks, avoid that restaurant. Good location. Mediocre, if not bad, food.)
It was a blast putting the voice and words I knew of Blonde Cutie together with the physical form that makes up the rest of him. No doubt that Blonde Cutie is attractive. But I wasn't clicking with him which I suppose is a good thing because Blonde Cutie has some heavy baggage with his ex. Despite this, we did have a great time getting to know each other.
Right before we said our goodbyes, I spurt out the "F" word:
"I'd like us to be 'friends'" I told him.
I think he felt the same way. We both realized that we weren't each others' Mr. Right. He still has issues surrounding his ex and he's testing out the waters, while I was simply looking to be stimulated. Despite this, we know that we both met someone cool in each other. This might just be the right ingredients for a great lasting friendship. Who knows? Time will tell.
