random thoughts from gay shanghai

I had a haircut yesterday. And came out to my hairdresser.

I go there with Sean all the time and my hairdresser (I always use the same, he's not that handsome but he's the first and only one in China who does a good job on my hair), well he looks quite gay. He asked me if a was married. I said not yet. (Sean and I are planning to get married in Belgium) Asked if I had a girlfriend, I told him I had a boyfriend. That felt great. I hate having to lie all the time at work since my boss is a homophobe (another reason to change jobs). So he knows now...

Funny reaction though, he smiled really cute and then I asked him if he had a girlfriend. He was a bit taken aback and then said:" Euh..oh... yeah" I was kind of interrogating him, asking her where she's from and what they'll do for new year. He's cute. And five years younger than I am.

I saw my aunt's car on the way to work. Exact same model, exact same colour. But it wasn't hers of course. She lives in Belgium.

Sean just called me to inform me he has bought a lot of instant noodles. Just what i need, dinners with a lack of nutrition. I've been eating frozen foods for two days (dumplings, tuanyuan...)
