just take a shower

nyc was fun. relaxing, awesome, and fun. booty drove in on friday night from boston (awww) and we had fun on saturday. it was very very good to see her. i, of course, tried in vain (again) to get her to move back.

so on the way home on sunday, many things happened. first i missed my flight because there was just too much traffic and i didn't give myself enough time to get to the airport. but it was only $25 for the next flight, and i only had to wait an hour or so. not bad. BUT i only got a center seat since there were only a few openings left. i was wondering who was going to sit next to me. like every girl, i always pray that it will be some gorgeous man who sits next to me, and we connect, and live happily ever after, telling our grandchildren that yes, in fact, we met on a plane. on my left was the man who was staring at me a little earlier. i was a little unsettled, but i figured once we chatted he wouldn't be so creepy. turns out he's a pediatrician. and not so creepy. a little wierd, but at least not creepy. and on my right...i saw this kid enter the plane and thought - my goodness he's good looking. i mean, he truly was gorgeous. beautiful features, piercing blue eyes (i could see that from many seats away), tall, good build. man, i hope he's sitting next to me. yup, he was. he looked up at the numbers, and the only available seat was the one next to me, and i knew my dreams had finally come true. except....

so he sits down and i immediately, well...smell something not so pleasant. turns out gorgeous man doesn't shower. that often, anyway. his hair was a little ratty, and he didn't STINK, but he definitely smelled. and he itched a lot. his arm, his stomach, his head. after awhile, i was a little concerned i might get lice. seriously. like i said, he didn't stink like he hadn't taken a shower in days, but it had definitely been at least 24 hours. and his jeans were dirty. he's a photographer, nice shiny camera and amazing computer, etc. etc. great stories, and a working photographer at that. takes pics of famous people. but he did smell. interesting person. really fun to chat with. i fell asleep, and woke up to his piercing blue eyes looking at me. not in a creepy way, but in a nice way. he gave me his card at the end of our trip in case i wanted to get in touch with him. but he smelled. man, if i could only get him to take a shower and wear clean clothes...
