This evening I surprised my boyfriend by taking him to the Circus. I told him I was taking him somewhere, and that it was a surprise. Well, he was indeed surprised and we both had a wonderful time!
I picked him up and it was about a 30-35 minute drive. I played a playlist from my iPod of music with a Circus feel or theme. Of course, this being a common thing between us, he still hadn't a clue. So I ended up having to do an illegal U-Turn... because I passed it. And as I drove up to the entrance for parking where all the circus vehicles were parked, I could feel his enthusiasm burst into fruition.
Needless to say I had a very happy boyfriend on my hands!
So I park and we get out. I cover up my iPod connector... you know those crazy carnies! XD And we walk to the entrance. I have to say it was quite wonderful. Yellow and Red, a little chipping and fading on the paint, it had a slightly run down or used feel and that quite suited both of us.
So we get in and are shown to our seats and there's an area for small horse rides... and eegads!!! CAMEL RIDES!!! I was aghast smiling and squealing, "CAMEL!!!". I've loved Camels since childhood! I have numerous camel plushes, a few art pieces, and so much love for them!
So the show starts, and act after act impressed or ammused. The dog act was adorable,
We walked around and stretched our legs at intermission. The chairs were quite uncomfortable and both of us needed to circulate. After pondering Funnel cake and seeing that a large drink was $5... we decided to go back into the big top. I went and saw the camel much closer, and it's just so... CAMEL!!!
Anyways, back to the seats and the second half of the show. The people to our right sat one seat over, thus putting us to the isle and one of the supports in his line of vision for the Equalibriast, so I put my arm around him and pulled him close to me. Shortly after, either feeling uncomfortable with homosexuality or realizing the folley of their seating, they moved over to their previous spots... as did he and I.
There was arial ballet on cloth ropes and a bunch of belly-dancer types sporting Wings of Isis. The latter accompanying the CAMEL act!!! 4 Camels moving in uniform motion with seemingly little command needed. It was amazing! Their necks were addorned with Morroccan hues of tassels and bells! <3 There was a tightrope act, and the worlds largest canon!
All in all, a good circus and an amazing date!
(If I do say, I am one hell of a boyfriend!)

*As an update we've been together for two months and tihngs are going great!
Don't really have much else to say, just blissfully content and irreconcilably in love!
