a discovery

i now understand why exactly i feel so safe working with alex in massage class...it's because he's gay. i guess i thought he was at the very beginning, but i didn't really think about it or anything...and then today, at the aids walk, his friend cassie was telling me how she likes dressing up when she's around him, and other gay guys, because she doesn't feel objectified by them. and i thought to myself, "yeah...that's exactly it" i feel really safe with alex 'cause there's none of that i'm-not-sure-of-the-intentions-here vibe. i mean, the class is a safe place in general, but there's almost always a bit of weirdness working on legs or such if you're working with someone of the opposite sex. but it was cool working with alex...now i know why. and he gives really good hugs. one day, i should make a list of people who give the best hugs. he'd be pretty high up there.
