Matt Margetts. I want to write a bit about him, just because I’m slightly infatuated…even though there’s nothing between us that can amount to anything.
He is one of the hosts of the Wild Rumpus. Probably a co-founder.
He liked a Facebook post I made about the Wild Rumpus, before going. I checked out who he was because I don’t have cute guys on my FB. Turned out he was also a former Olympic Skier.
He seemed super cute and I was nervous and looking forward to meeting him.
Arriving at the dock, I saw someone mentioned Matt, and pointed to a guy. I saw the back of a short guy with a fairly unattractive body in a weird outfit – no waist, narrowish shoulders, unspectacular bum, thighs too close to each other. He had curly blonde hair at below the ear length, which looked weird under a red cowboy hat. He was wearing a white wild rumpus top that showed no muscle tone, a pair of red shorts, white socks, and sandals. He turned around, and I saw a huge red gush on his cheek. Yikes. He was nothing like what I expected!
He spoke somewhat self-critically about how he was not remembering people’s names very well. By that he meant he can only remember the first 50 people’s names.
He was still a little bit cute, but he was not at all like how I expected. He sounded bi to me, and slightly unconfident. On the other hand, he seemed way out of my league before but now he didn’t.
Throughout the weekend, I kept observing him. I still got to find him attractive because, a) he is still cute, and b) there’s no one cuter.
He isn’t very funny, is maybe 5’8, has lots of chest hair, not the greatest body. Not to mention he is 29, 8 years younger than me. A partier, skier, drinker, smoker, drug-user, entertainer, who lives in Whistler. We have nothing in common.
But, he was the life of the party, he was nice to everyone, and he had the tanned skin and sun bleached blonde hair I love. I like his voice too.
He didn’t pay much attention to me it seems, almost to the point of deliberately so. At first I thought maybe he heard me telling Cyndi that he looked way hotter on Bumble/Facebook. I should not openly criticize people.
On Canada Day, he came to chat with Erin while we were at the craft table, but completely ignored me. But later that night, when we were at the fire, he called out my name to do the charades. I was surprised that he even remembered my name. But he knew everyone’s name.
On the third day, I was a mermaid. We walked by each other in the mess hall. I looked him in the eye and smiled a bit. He said “Nice costume!”, I said “You too!” He was Robin in Batman and Robin, except it was a girl costume with breast cups and a skirt. Haha.
Up on the mountain, hanging with the guys, a song came on. Everyone started singing, even me! I can’t remember what song it was, but I knew the lyrics to it. He came by and started singing at me ’til the “I love you” part, while making a heart shape with his hands at me….aww…It melted me a little.
Some people were playing frisbee and I joined them. Matt joined us too. He kept making people calling out the name of the person they want to fly the frisbee to. Remembering names is so important for him.
At one point he got Clayton’s daughter, and he guided her to fly a frisbee too. So cute.
I’ve never seen downtime with him. He is super dedicated and has limitless energy level. Then again, I heard he was doing MDMA.
I played slip ‘n slide kickball and had lots of fun! At one point I decided to take my shorts off. He lightly tapped my upper bum. He seemed attracted but avoided being too close.
We were picking kickball teams. When I got picked, I heard Matt say that I was sexy.
He was filming everyone with GoPro, and he did a 360 around me. I should’ve blown him a kiss. For social media!
He came by and bumped him bum to mine for a bit, while I was getting a drink.
He is friendly with every girl, but I can tell that he tries not to show favourtism.
After lunch, we saw some whales! We rushed out, so I left my bottle and star sunglasses on the table. Later, I was telling Neilson my alopecia story. I was at the end of it, then Matt tapped me and got me to follow him. We went to the mess hall and he asked if the bottle and sunglasses were mine. I wondered if he heard my alopecia story at all. I hope so.
Later in the day, we were playing tug of war. Me and Ashley fell on the ground and we laughed. He came over to check if we were ok. He gave Ashley a hug but not me. I wasn’t very jealous, because I felt that he was trying to hide his favourtism towards me.
That night during the dance, he was crazy! I was dancing near the front, and got a circle going. He came out of nowhere and started doing a solo dance. It was the most ridiculous dance I’ve ever seen, but entertaining. He would seem like he was gonna do a back flip, but it was just falling hard onto the ground. He’d lie on his belly and crawl forward on…. his face…I think… His comedic timing was great.
A girl wanted to grind with him in the centre of the circle. He quickly turned it into his solo performance again.
But later, he’d fake-grind with lots of people, guys and girls.
I was a bit jealous. It also made me think that he was a stripper at one point.
He did come to me, but it was so gentle. He came with his back facing me, which was pretty gay. I lightly put my hand on his shoulder, and grinded with him a tiny bit.
Later, he came back to me, facing me. We danced at each other but we were about one or two feet apart. We danced like this for several minutes, without even touching each other. It was a strange moment. I didn’t want to make a move on him like all the other girls. Plus more friends joined in kind of a circle.
I briefly danced with a very drunk but kinda cute videographer. Super young I think.
After that, I went back to my friends. Then suddenly, I felt a heat. I didn’t see that Matt had played a fire stunt! He did it again, bringing a lighter to his mouth, breathed out some alcohol, and created a huge flame. Suddenly, his face caught on fire! I was so worried! Everyone was.
Turned out he was ok. I still felt obligated to go beside him briefly and asked if he was ok, and put my hand on his back. I don’t think he noticed me though.
On the last day, which is today, he mostly ignored me. But when he walked by / pause at the entrance of the mess hall, where I was chatting with Erin and gang and had my hands to my hips, he suddenly put his hands to his hips. That potentially means he was mirroring me, which mean he is fond of me and paying attention to me.
As we were about to take off on the boat, he came by to hug us. It was the first time we hugged. It wasn’t that special though. I noticed something on his face flying in the wind. It was a piece of his skin! I asked if his face was ok (from the fire), he shrugged. Said it didn’t hurt and hope it doesn’t leave a scar. I touched his face, trying to figure out what was going on with that piece of skin. He suddenly stood very still as if letting me have full control. I wanted to peel the skin off, but decided to leave it.
There’s nothing between us, and there never will be, but I was attracted to him for sure, and I think he was attracted to me. That’s all I need from him.

He friended me on FB today. I was surprised. Then again, he friended 23 other people too, guys and girls. But of the entire cabin, I was the only person he friended. No Erynn or Krysta. I wonder why. (Krysta now too. Ha. I see. Just the cute girls and some cute guys.)
It was enough to warrant a couple healthy orgasms today haha.
It’s a good distraction from thinking too much about Jeffrey and other dating things. Though I hope it wears off soon…I don’t want to be attached to this….this infatuation.
Still wishing to find my soul mate. Thought we’d meet this June! God, please guide us to each other.
