Everything In Between

Sara and I made this list on the subway as we went downtown towards the garment district today:

Things To Do

• Museum of Natural History
• Magnolia Bakery
• Rollerblading
• Single-tail
• Rue des Crepes
• Cloisters
• Guggenheim
• Chirping Chicken
• Heroboy
• The Met[ropolitan Museum of Art]
• Renfaires! :)
• LARP
• Road trip
• Sail

She shopped for fabrics at a store on 39^th Street. After that I took her to Heroboy (and thus struck it from our list of things to do). Once we had eaten (our first meal of the day), we walked through “commercialism central” and stopped at H&M and Old Navy to get me new clothes.

I now have three new shirts, which each fit me rather well and I’m happy to say look “hot” on me (w00t!), and six new pairs of boxers, which I just wanted because I don’t want to do laundry yet. Shopping was fun because it made me feel accomplished; I completed something I had been meaning to do. It also had strong tones of “coupledom,” this feeling I keep having moments of in the best possible way.

It unnerved me that I had suddenly found a new relationship so quickly after breaking up a short while ago. Without any doubt, however, the best part about this relationship is that it is the first in which I feel I can be completely self-expressive, the whole of who I am, and trust that all of that is not too much to handle; when she pushes, I push back—when we fight, we call it a draw. Athena and Apollo.

The rest of the night was spent with Sarah at her place of work. It really pays to be friends with the bartender! The three of us went out for a late dinner after she closed up at around midnight and spoke of personal history and future plans.

Summer is upon us. I love summer.
