frankly, scarlett...

oh! i almost forgot my big news:

wednesday night i was riding the A train with some work peeps. maria and i both got off at west 4th street and went downstairs to transfer to the F. while we were standing on the platform, chatting, the V rolled into the station. "should i take the V instead?" i wondered aloud, looking into the cars as they passed. and as the train slowed down, through the window of the door, i saw austin scarlett!

"it's austin!" i said to maria, whose eyes widened.
"where?" i pointed and maria rushed toward the front of the car in front of us.

the doors of the V train opened and austin emerged. tall, lithe, soooo skinny. hair long, überblond and swept back. a study in earth tones: beige coat, khaki pants tucked into tan leather boots.

"i'm a big fan!" maria said.
austin shrugged/smiled/mumbled something.
“LOVE YOU!" i said as he walked up the stairs. he smiled and did that thing where you kind of close your eyes and raise your shoulders to your ears. an acknowledgement of something. he might have even said "thanks."

then he went up the stairs and maria and i squealed like high school girls:
"oh my gawwwwd!!!!"
