it's around midnight and i'm in munich! don't have long to write, but thus far, this trip has been out of this world! queenjiller and i and the rest of the group are having the best time!
paris: cdg airport is gorgeous!
berlin: awesome bike tours with all 6 of us and our hot tour guide named Ingo, lots of amazing beers, more sausage than i have ever had in my life!
prague: shitty drive over, smallest room in all europe, great architecture, absinthe, singing, more beer, more sausage.
salzburg: late addition to the trip, decided to go just yesterday! city was gorgeous, and the countryside was the most beautiful i've seen..."the hills are alive, with the sound of music!"
munich: just got back from the first part of oktoberfest. pure insanity.
more to see, more to come!

celebrate.
it may not be much to some, but this week marks my 1-year anniversary of not smoking. i have been quite tempted in many many situations, and it is still difficult sometimes, but i won't lie, i'm pretty damn proud of myself. it's so unhealthy to smoke, and i couldn't be happier that i quit. congrats to me!
---
i'm packing right now for my european extravaganza, our flight is in 4 hours. i've had a crazy/fun/horrible/intense couple of days and weeks, and this trip is very much needed for me to clear my mind. i can't wait! hopefully i'll be able to write from abroad, we'll see!

all good things...
Being with someone who makes you feel like you are walking on clouds is something that is hard to come by, and if you are lucky, you will stay airborne for a while.
ACC is going back to LA today, and it sucks, but I’m ok with it. I was able to spend one last night with him and it made me realize many things. First off, he’s a truly amazing person. There is so much to him, so much depth and passion and so much I admire. Second, it showed me what is out there in this big world, people who will make an impact on your life and your soul. Yes, it sounds ridiculous, as we have known each other for only a brief period of time, but there is a clear connection between us.
This short and sweet late-summer affair (which, as he puts is, “is just this close to being a French film with subtitles”) has ended, at least for now. Yes, it would be wonderful to spend more time together, but the reality is that he lives in LA and I live in NYC, and although he will be moving here in a year, this is where the amazing journey ends. the season is changing, and it's time for me to move on, something I have been trying to do for a while now... This was such a wonderful experience, and I thank you ACC for that. You really gave me something to remember, and as I told you, I hope that our paths cross again very soon...
I wear my heart on my sleeve, and everyone knows it. If I feel something, I say something (or write about it). I read my post from the other day, and I think that it was sappy, but you know what, it’s how I felt about things. in our short lifetimes, we only have a few opportunities to go with your heart, and I did just that, as fearlessly as possibly...no regrets...

everything weird and wonderful....pt.2
you can't anticipate situations and you can't expect something to happen. you can't predict the weather and you can't depend on the subways. you also can't foresee the feelings you are going to have for a person.
someone very wise recently told me that dating is the loneliest process in the world. it's painful, its emotional and it's taxing. that is until you meet someone who puts you in an inexplainable mood. you forget about the problems at work, and they help you shut out the daily frustrations of your life. someone who you instantly connect with, who brings you to a level you have yet to reach in your life.
i met someone. someone amazing. I was able to spend 2 fantastic days on the west coast with him, and the most perfect night with him in nyc. when he drives you to a special place you really wanted to see, when you feel comfortable enough to hold his hand while walking down the street, when you go up to top of the rock and gaze out at the glittering city and then look into his eyes and catch a hidden glance, you don't hesitate. he literally took my breath away.
and he lives in LA.
how can you feel such a connection to someone who you have only known for such a short period of time and who you know is going to hop back on a plane in a few days? it seems nearly impossible to suppress feelings that you never thought that you were able to have.
i do not know what will happen now. things happen for a reason, and although this was not a situation that either of us anticipated, i couldn't be happier that i was able to experience this. i'm walking on clouds.

I just want you close
Where you can stay forever
You can be sure
That it will only get better
You and me together
Through the days and nights
I don't worry 'cause
Everything's gonna be alright
People keep talking
They can say what they like
But all I know is
Everything's gonna be alright
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you
You, you
Can get in the way of what I feel for you
When the rain is pouring down
And my heart is hurting
You will always be around
Yes, I know, for certain
You and me together
Through the days and nights
I don't worry 'cause
Everything's gonna be alright
People keep talking
They can say what they like
But all I know is
Everything's gonna be alright
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you
You, you
Can get in the way of what I feel
I know, some people search the world
to find something like what we have
I know, people will try, try to divide
something so real
so 'till the end of time
I'm telling you that
No one, no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you
Where you can stay forever
You can be sure
That it will only get better
You and me together
Through the days and nights
I don't worry 'cause
Everything's gonna be alright
People keep talking
They can say what they like
But all I know is
Everything's gonna be alright
No one, no one, no one

everything weird and wonderful.
thank you ACC, for helping me make some new memories in LA. i will cherish them...

2 weeks o' stuff
phew. sorry to my loyal readers (all 3 of you...well, 2 if you don't count me...) for the delay in posting. it's been 2 weeks, its a mighty long time by my standards, and the last 2 weeks have been kinda crazy, very fun, very fast and very tiresome.
a breakdown:
-dave cain was in town: had a great time with him and chrisbugg. that's right, i've condensed his name, since it really just flows better that way. dave breezed in from his job in miami. had an f'in blast with the 2 of them. we drank, we trekked alll the way up to the ralph lauren store on the UES after drinking a few bottles of champers. then we went out, left chrisbugg with some tatted up guy at barracuda and and well...i won't get into the dirty deets, but it was the kind of night/morning that only would have happened to dave and i. we've been friends for 8 years, and we have many many memories under our belts...and in our pants. ha!
-9 gays (and kimmy!) singing and dancing at maracas during one of the most fun brunches EVER. that's what you get for unlimted margaritas on a sunday morning! the restaurant was filled with tons of gays and we sang La Bamba for hours. hilarious.
-drinks and dessert with a Tony nominee (you know who you are)...
-house/dog sat for marc and wolly: ok, no dogs there, but house sitting and a fun labor day bbq with the boys. drinks on the sprawling terrace and playing on their wii. wii had a wii-lly good time.
-and now i'm in boston.
being here in boston has been weird. i get to travel extensively for work, having all ready been in chicago and dallas, and going to los angeles in 5 days. here in boston i'm at the former stomping grounds for my 11 or 12 friends who went to BU and TA who went to Harvard, and of course it is he who I think of most. it's now been 5 months since we've broken up. it's crazy, and i def still miss him a lot. i'm glad i got to see him last month, and it's still hard, but i care for him, and i will always care about him. as i have said before, i am looking forward to having him in my life as a close friend. (9/9 UPDATE: I ran into TA last night at Eastern Bloc, he was with some friend of a friend, and it was weird that he introduced me and said 'we dated for a little while'. was good to see him, explained that i would love to see him again, but, as I have told everyone it's going to have to be in October, when things calm down a bit. we'll see what transpires...)
on to LA on thursday, where i was last with TA. knowing me, it's going to be hard to do this event, especially it's on the site of one of the places that he and I went, the la brea tar pits, and all the memories will come back. i need to make new memories, so this will be an opportunity to do so. onwards and upwards.
i'm getting uber-excited for my trip at the end of the month to europe with jill, i really can't wait. i'll post more about that soon. in the mean time, here are some pics from the past this past weekend...enjoy!

the unbelievably sexy LL Cool J who was the at conference leading morning aerobics (ha!) and promoting his book. i was that close. his arms are as big as my head. amazing.
