Gay Pride

The month of June has been full of changes for me. After a rollercoaster of a year I am finally beginning to move forward with my life. I can already see a few of my friends rolling their eyes (with good reason). I know you all know I've said this many (many many) times but now, really, it's time to start a fresh. So...here's the update.

A few weeks ago I went to Gay Pride which was both a new and interesting experience for me. I was a little nervous because I've never even seen a gay pride before let alone dance in one! But really, I had a great time. Everyone was in costumes holding huge flags and wearing wigs on their heads. I think my favourite moment had to be Dave catching a balloon and screaming "BALLOOOOOOON" with delight before realising that it was, in fact, a blown up condom. Poor Dave and he couldn't wash his hands for ages either...

I have to add a little note for the boys there, I'm so glad I met these two utter crazy people. They've made me open up to new ideas (some ridiculously stupid) but they've also made me lighten up and not take life so seriously, for which I will be eternally grateful. "I'm going to spike my gavina!" and "Don't you think the moon is just so....AWESOME." Coolest guys ever.

We also managed to find a semi secret location by the Seine where you can sit without being surrounded by du monde and a great place on the quai at Bastille. It pays to have friends who grew up in Paris.
