New friend

Marcel arrived last night a bit earlier than expected. Luis, Rich and I were just finishing our first game of Settlers of Catan, a cliff hanger that Luis came from behind to take from me just as Marcel rolled through the door with a suitcase large enough to choke a brontosaurus. It was partly empty because it had been overweight (DUH!). He had bought a smaller bag to off-load some of the heaviest items but that bag was lost by the airline.

He settled in with the rest of us very easily, as I imagined he would being a social guy. After half an hour of chit chat we decided to introduce him to the game. Shortly into it Rich joked about getting high and I brought out a joint and passed it around. Maybe it was Marcel's charm or the fact that he was was also from South America, because Luis had never smoked with his partner Rich before. They each complained at how powerful BC bud is but no one got too stoned. Rich is particularly funny when stoned though, as all logical thinking and memory of detail is gone. It wasn't helping the rest of our thinking either, for the first game took 2 hours. We played a third game too, which finished about 2:30am.

Marcel and I chatted after Rich and Luis left. He is in love with guy in Toronto with a 9" dick, and his fellow is behaving as though he is in love with Marcel too. It's the first time love for both of them. Marcel says the only reason they fell for each other is because they both resist affection and intimacy and felt therefore that they were safe. Hopefully their first foray into the the heart's fury won't be as painful as mine was.
