What I love about you...

You actually love my laugh. I was married for several years to a man that hated my loud laugh and he couldn’t stand it when others made me laugh. And now that we are together and you point out that you love hearing me laugh, well it just warms up my heart. I love you for loving such an obnoxious part of me.

I love you -period

Mimi

I’m in San Francisco for the weekend so me and La Famosa Mimi happened to set up to meet for a brief moment. I mean I trekked over 400 miles, que le cuesta manejar 30-40 to come see me? I was a little hesitant to meet up at first. Not because of thinking she might kidnap me and torture me Pulp Fiction Gimp styley but because of my “is it gonna be weird and i’m gonna act retardedly shy” insecurities. Everything went smooth cept this one moment she gave me the googly eyes. I noticed. I feel like we both had a weird moment for like .087999 seconds but that goes with any first meeting with anyone. Then all of a sudden after introductions of “this is nohemi” to my crew it felt like two old friends catching up. (by the way, it’s Mimi on tumblr AND in person too, don’t forget that) Taking in the beautiful scenery at Pier 39/Fisherman’s Wharf we chatted about so many things. Life. Meeting for the first time. Plans. Relationships. Seals. Vallejo. Future. And we were both on our A game cause we had jokes. We LOL’d. I’m not talented at describing certain things and giving them their proper presentation to let people know how exactly or to come across and express properly how great a moment was but as we said our goodbyes and the meeting was over, all I could think was that that was a beautiful moment. She asked me if there was anything that took me by surprise or anything that I noticed that I didn’t expect. She thought she’d be taller next to me than expected. I expected to hopefully meet Mimi and have her just be as awesome as she’s been online to me the last year we’ve known each other. I’m telling you, she was on her A game cause she nailed the being awesome part. Hasta me dio una botella de vino. I didn’t get to drink it with my friends as she recommended but I will when I get back to my lovely Los Angeles and wind down an intense and lovely weekend in a city that I can’t help but feel that one day will be home. Later Tumbiland. I need me breakfast food. I only have eyes for an ommelette.

Meeting Alex was such a wonderful experience. The cool part about meeting a fellow tumblr for the very first time (after a year of “knowing” each other online) is that you don’t have the awkward getting to know you period. We jumped right in, we pretty much already know each other’s conversation style, a lot of each others back ground- we’ve “seen” each other in the best of times, the worst of times via blog. Yes, He’s taller, Yes. (I shoulda’ worn heels man). And Alex, I wasn’t on my A game, that’s me baby. Dude, can you believe we didn’t even take a picture together? What’s wrong with us? That’s like “Meetup 101”.

When my significant other learned that I was going to meet some “stranger” on the internet, he was a bit apprehensive. And I was trying to reassure him that Alex was cool, “seriously babe, this guy is classy, I’ve read all about him on tumblr”. *nods head* I have to admit, for a brief moment I started to see things from his standpoint, this IS afterall a complete stranger! -But that moment passed the moment Alex came over and gave me a HUGE bear hug =) Can’t wait to see you again!!

(btw, big props to my man for showing his concern, but demonstrating his utmost trust in me and my judgment)
