Now That's Something You Don't Come Across Everyday

I just spent a magnificent evening in the company of very lovely people. Through Boy's connections I met a Muslim Afghani lesbian (we shall call her Mondo). She is entirely fantastic and we ended up drinking coffee and wandering around Providence for hours (sadly, Boy wasn't there as he had work to do, but fortunately when he left our company he took Doofus* with him).

After a misguided attempt to go to India Point Park (it was crowded as there was a Cape Verde festival occupying the area), we started an aimless walk. We stopped at a coffee shop where one of the waitresses owed Mondo money, so we got our drinks for free. Then we met a girl from Brown and the three of us sat around chattering about Central Asian politics, culture, and poetry. The barrista was Italian in the coffee shop so I got to refresh my Italian as well. It was so lovely!

Then we wandered some more and ended up at Starbucks where another of Mondo's friends works. The friend wasn't working, but due to synchronicity, she was wandering drunkenly down the street outside as we were leaving. So we got to hear about her drunken debauchery. It was more than amusing, especially when she started singing, "I'm making a spectacle, I'm making a spectacle, don't watch me."

Anyway, yeah, that was my evening. Oooh! And Mondo is going to give me her brother's information in London so when I go there I'll have a personal tour guide. Woohooo!

*Doofus is a very creepy boy who probably wet his bed as a child, furthermore he has no social skills and is a bit lacking in the tact department so he ended up asking the relationship questions Boy and I had been avoiding**

**Boy is dating his computer (he's a programmer) but this doesn't preclude the occasional bit of fun, which suits me perfectly
