- in the chill of the october night at one in the morning, i moved my skirt to show you i didn't have any leggings on. "this is why i'm cold," i said, "i don't have leggings! no tights!" misunderstanding me, you asked, "you aren't wearing any panties?" and i died, shrieked, "NO that's not what i mean!" and laughed and corrected you. language learning: these are the moments i like most, the weird cute mess-ups that cause people to laugh. -- today i had a date with a french boy who insists on talking to me in english. we were going to go ice skating, but neither of us have a car, and it's actually an hour-long walk, so we skipped out on that. instead, we had three rounds of drinks and sat and talked for about four hours. it's an interesting difference i think, compared to dating in the united states. people seem more willing to spend more time out and together here. he seems nice. but don't they all? -- or maybe you did understand?
