Roses and Rudebox

Now tell me if I "should" feel jealous, because I really don't, but Ted got flowers from another man on Wednesday and I thought it was one of the most romantic gestures I've seen in a very long time.

Y'see, Ted's been in a training course all week (it's over now much to his relief) and he mentioned meeting this other guy in one of his group sessions whom he was certain was also gay. He mentioned this to me on Monday or Tuesday. The guy (I forget his name) was obviously quite taken with Ted because on Wednesday he brought a dozen roses to the hotel (where Ted works) and Ted had to let him down easy by telling him he was very kind but "already got a boyfriend". He remained friendly and even joked about it before the end of the week, rather than cower away in embarrassment. I don't really have much more detail than that, but I just thought it was sweet. Ted was very flattered and I could tell it made him feel really good about himself; in a way that he wouldn't if I had been the one sending the flowers. I just wanted to document that so I'd remember it, because I thought it was wonderful. The roses aren't holding up so well, but they really were beautiful. (purple-pink which evidently means "sweet love" according to Ted) How often does a gay man get flowers from another man he just met, in his own workplace? And Ted says no one ever looks at him. pshawww!

Not going to write much more because I'm sick and I think I'll go have a nap.

LOVING the new Robbie Williams CD "Rudebox". Can't tell you how much I'm lovin' it. It's the most randomly upbeat, euro-pop fun album he's ever released, full of genuine Robbie cheeky humour and incredibly valid subtext statements about the world. I love Robbie Williams. (this is not one of his more "deep" songs, but it's funky, funky, funky.)
