Red poses the questions
Thanks to Red at Red Sneaker Diaries for posing the following questions to me for blog-a-thon. She kindly did this for me, and I’m willing to do the same for you. Official rules are posted here.
She sent me five questions, here is the first, with its response:
1. Your journal begins with excerpts of emails between you and Him. Is there only one him that youre talking about? How did you meet him? Who is J? How does J fit into the picture? Who is *? How does * fit into the picture?
There is only one him. We met in
Berlin in February. He was there for Berlinale and I was there doing research for a few months. He felt sorry for me, being an American girl in Berlin in the depths of winter and he offered to have coffee with me. That was the start of it all. Now, amazingly, we are both in the States and living driving-distance apart. Not close enough to see each other frequently, but close enough to see each other when it gets too hard not to.
J is one of the men I was dating before I left for Berlin back in December. When I returned we started to see each other again, but by that time I had realized that I was already falling for this other. Apparently that didnt stop me from sleeping with him (J). * is him, the one I met in Berlin, the one who is married, the one I think I am in love with, the one who wont hurt me. I think I might have to come up with some other way to refer to him in the future, if this seems confusing.
