Party

So I wandered into some guy who's on the water polo club team at USC. At one of the Olympics recently, they had sought the perfect body for the opening ceremonies, and who did they choose? A water polo player.

The story flattered him, because, after all, he said, they do work both their upper and lower body.

I told him I hadn't played a sport a day in my life; I had done theater in high school. And he told me that was fuckin cool, that it took more balls to do theater than sports.

And I lapped it up. I told him about my part in Museum when I played a femme, gay guy. "It's great you could make light of your sexuality like that," he said.

Our conversation reached its peak and denouement, then he wandered away. Water polo players can't fucking do that! Tease me with your "upper and lower body," only to wander away once you've caught my attention??

You owe me, kiddo.
