When I told my work colleagues I was going all the way over to America to meet this boy Matty that I met on the Internet they were, perhaps not surprisingly a little sceptical. Well, I've only known him for a short while, a couple of weeks at the most. They was also a little surprised our choice of meeting locations, St Louis! Why there? It's not like it's a big place that attracts lots of English tourists. I mean Orlando and LA it aint. They asked why, which to be honest wasn't a thought far from my mind as well, then Matty told me that it was Pride Festival, the most major one at the gateway to the MidWest, which means there's more to St Louis than a big silly arch and a river! When I relayed such info to the girls at work, they were rather more excited about the prospect. All those cowboys, gay cowboys at that, gosh, it would be something like Brokeback Mountain, was the words they banded about! Brokeback Mountain indeed, but perhaps, all those MidWestern gay boys, but perhaps, I haven't found so much as a cowboy, more a cowgirl!!!!
More soon!
