Last night was such a fab New Orleans night. Met up with meara at Queerlesque, which was lots of fun. Quite the spectrum of stripping! Lots of messing with genderqueerness, and humor, and sexiness. A couple of misses, but overall a really good show. Then there was dancing with cuties afterwards, and I even gave out my number to someone but I'm going to have to have the "not into polyamory" talk with her right off. Met my friend from OKC/FB finally - damn, she's cute!!! She was one of the performers. Another friend wanted me to come out to Hi Ho to watch some music, but instead I joined StW and his colleague M at R Bar, where an old Christopher Lee Dracula movie was playing silently behind the bar. We had fun making up our own dialogue. And then I went home with StW.

I've spent a lot of time this weekend with StW. When I'm with him, I'm pretty content and comfortable and confident in his affections. It's the times in between that are hard for me. But the more time I spend and I learn about him, the easier it is to trust that he will call me, that there will be a next time. I think he just needed to get last week's talk off his chest, and I've learned more about his last relationship that helps me understand why he's so gunshy. Ultimatums are bad, mmm-kay?

I don't know. At this point I think he's definitely worth waiting around for. I told him about N texting me, and we're all four going to get drinks next Thursday.

Sadly, I forgot about a monthly brunch this morning - you really do need a calendar for your weekends, here. But! Soon I will go to Tom'! Birthday! Party! and it will be AWESOME. And StW may or may not come, and it will be AWESOME either way.

Erm. Sorry to be all mememe.

Yay, smonster! It sounds like you are having a fabulous time. I'm glad you feel you're in a better place with StW.

Damn, I need to get my ass back to the gym this week. Two days of walking around doing touristy stuff at the beach tells me that I will never be able to handle all of the things we want to do in the UK unless I can increase my endurance between now and then.

Aim, I meant to tell you that the party sounds awesome! Also, can you send me your address when you get the chance? Just in case I see any royal wedding things for you while I'm in the UK.

Also, If anyone wants a postcard, send me your address. Profile addy is good.

smonster - glad an equilibrium seems to be occurring

and sj - motivation for more fun is the best reason for exercise. And while I am walking crazy distances now ( only 5 days until the 60 miles in 3days in SF) the perceived wisdom is that you can walk twice as far as you are currently comfortable with . So even just adding a little bit of endurance will make things much better for you

Sounds like a good day, smonster.

I met a friend and we wandered around Duke Gardens today. [link] It's a gorgeous place, and huge! I think we walked about 2 miles and still didn't see everything. Then we went out for steak and I came home to do laundry. And decided to goof off instead, because I have all tomorrow to get stuff done.

Beth, yes it is a good motivator although the gronk is strong. Another plus to being more active is that I can eat more. After walking around Wickford all day today we had yummy Thai food for dinner!

Stupid weather. There is now flash flood or flood warnings/watches through all of the counties that were flooded from Irene.

Stay dry askye!

So in exciting news of my life, Matt went up to see a friend in the city . I sent him kitty pictures around 430/5 and he said he was almost done with his project. It is just about 7 - no sign of him . I guess that means no movie tonight. Which is just fine - and well somewhat predictable...

I'll be fine! There wasn't any flooding in my neck of the woods, but there's going to be flooding in the already damaged areas.

There's the potential for more flood damage in those areas and flooding undoing any progress made.

My family up in VT seems ok for now
