Untitled (aka Distant Lover)

A friend of mine is currently in a long-distance relationship. Why?

Because she can't find any available men locally.

Is that not the worst thing you've ever heard?

It made me feel a bit desperate... which is maybe why I made some bad decisions on a recent trip to Toronto for the International Film Festival (more on that later; also, I saw some great movies).

But this friend, whom I was visiting... She is a local celebrity in Toronto, and as such whenever I visit we often get into some pretty swanky places and I get to meet other local celebs (FYI, Devon Soltendiek from MuchMusic does NOT look like a gay boy in person. He looks like someone I would like hot sauce off of).

She is both attractive and successful--but not too much of either to make you hate her, just enough that you are glad she's your friend so she doesn't steal your boyfriend.

And for some reason, she feels it necessary to go all the way to Montreal to get a booty call.


I tell you, is this not the saddest thing you've ever heard?

I'm going to go cut myself or something...
