About Virginia

Virginia sweeps me off my feet regularly. She is sweet, sexy, intelligent, creative, kooky, passionate, focused, compassionate, driven, beautiful. She'll probably want to hide after reading this, too. (She's amazing, that's all I wanted to say, and I love her.)

She's 24, Swiss-born (a citizen of both Switzerland and Paris), trilingual (French, Italian, English), and a graduate student studying English linguistics at the Sorbonne. Currently she's working on her DEA (diplôme d'études approfondies) while working as a French assistant at Sarah Lawrence. We met training Aikido; she has trained Iwama style for about three years, and at the beginning of the school year, she walked into my first Aikido class of the semester and asked me if I minded if she put on her gi top. Since then, we've been finishing each other's sentences and generally anticipating each other's thoughts and actions. (Okay, there was a bit of turbulence and some obstacles before we actually got romantically involved, but...)

good show!

I was about to introduce you to my friend John.

Not that there's anything wrong with that...

David Clark said...

Heh. Well, surely John's a nice guy, so I'm sorry to disappoint him. But I think Virginia's gotten a little possessive of me. I wouldn't want anyone to get hurt or anything for threatening to take me away.

So what would you recommend: light saber, Mongol knife, bazooka, discreet poisonning...?

I just pictured you growling and baring your teeth until the potential invader backed away or you were forced to bite him/her.

out of the night that covers me said...

I don't know that song, but I did try to woo her with "Only the Good Die Young" by Billy Joel. You know, the song that starts "Come out, Virginia, don't make me wait."
