But that all changes when I lay eyes on the exact man I want.Trevor Myerson is the man of my dreams.He's one of those guys who has the whole package. One that you'd be shocked to learn is SINGLE. His interest in me is surprising since, in the words of my bestie, Priscilla, I'm boring and drab (yeah, she really said I was 'drab', whatever the freak that means...). But Trevor likes me. Don't know why, but he does. He says we're friends and he wants to 'draw me out'. Have me try new things. I'm cool with it, but it would be nice if he was more than just a friend.
