The COWBOY
I've decided the Cowboy is out
because
well - there's these little things that bug me about him -- like
- He thinks Jerry Springer is hilarious
- When I express a concern -- he's told me I should "lighten up"
- He was considering driving an hour yesterday after coming back to the ranch to play slots at the casino (really? You want to drive to the next state to sit and feed your hard earned money into a hole in a smoky room and drink watered down liquor? -- I can give you a piggy bank and close the flue on the fireplace at home and you can get the same thing - right at home)
BB
BB is still around -- even though he asked for another day to meet -- and is still not able to meet with me this weekend -- a family crisis.
If I didn't know for sure that he's not a scammer -- I would think he was - because that's how the scammers work -- right? they always have a reason why you can't meet them?
and besides -- scamming me is fruitless -- if I won't go to the casino I sure as fuck won't send money to anyone.
but I still want to talk to him
and want to meet him
and as long as I can find a deep connection like that with someone
I'm not going to settle for a shallow connection with someone else.
TK
I had fun with TK last night -- the movies were a blast
and
yes -- he tickled the crap out of me
and
I'm even more ticklish than I thought I was
I laughed myself into an asthma attack
aaaand because I never have those -- I didn't have my inhaler (BAAAAAD girl)
it's good for me to be touched by someone
we all go way too much time without being touched.
The Pilot
oh- - there was this guy a few years ago who I went out with - I can't remember his name and I deleted him from the blog anyway
but
I decided he was lying to me about something
something big -- I didn't know what -- and I didn't care
He's the one that would pick me up in his car -- and drive to other side of the city (over an hour) to have a date
ashamed of me?
avoiding his wife?
looking for a place to dump my body?
I didn't know - but I ran away
and made him mad doing it.
well -- he messaged me on CM and I said I would chat - when he sent me his IM name -- I knew if
SHIT!
so I told him who I was and we'll wait to see what he says (yikes!)
and finally
on a bit of a sad note
The Captain
I got a message from The Captain yesterday
It just said that he had had a death in the family
it's unclear when this happened
but
explains the radio silence
well - as much as anything explains him.
the truth is -- I will always like The Captain -- he's this strong, uber dominant figure
who is more than a bit detached
but
is someone I like - and enjoy having in my life.
and I'm sorry that he's hurting.
BB and BG seem to be sitting under the same sort of karmic umbrella.
ReplyDeleteBut you're right. You don't walk away from those rare, deep connections until you're certain you've exhausted the possibilities.
And you have to start before you can be sure you're finished, right?
And can I just say that telling me to "lighten up" is surely one of the quickest ways there is to launch a Jz Attack?
(Nor, may I add, will I EVER lighten up enough to find Jerry Springer funny...)
@Jz - There have been reasons why BB and I have not met -- some of which is that he is way more laid back than I am -- and another 10 days will tell the tale for sure
Delete-as for the Cowboy -- he was PISSED when I told him I was out -- which was validation enough that it was the right choice.

i'm glad you sent The Cowboy on his way. Sorry The Captain's having a hard time, and hoping you and BB actually get to meet someday. Glad you're enjoying TK, and waiting with interest to see what The Pilot has to say.
ReplyDeleteSo much going on - i love it!
@Aisha -- I'm glad it's a bit less crowded now.
