Okay.

He was trying to say Sim.

Yeah.

I was like, ooh, who is this cute guy?

So we talked and I told him that I was also a juggler, which was interesting to him.

So we juggled together.

Yeah, we were tossing back and forth to each other.

Yeah, we were passing clubs.

If you're good, no one's good at that.

When you get it going, you get in the flow, it feels really good.

We started talking and before we know it, two hours had gone by and it was time for him to do the next show.

So we part and I go home and I immediately stalk him online and come back the next day.

I had totally abandoned my friend who had brought me to this festival in the first place and I just hang out with him the whole day.

We hang out every single day until I have to go to this job in Massachusetts for three months.

One of those days we are getting lunch and he asks if I would consider being his juggling partner when I got back and doing the show with him.

Yes.

I had never considered it as a career, but I had all the skills and I didn't know what I was going to do with my life.

So I thought that sounds like a much better idea than getting a regular job.

So let's give it a try.

When I got back from Massachusetts, I started performing with him and dating at the same time.
