Oz ,'Him'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
My understanding is that he was thinking that if we were in a relationship, I might always have my eye out for a woman, that I might prefer that
But...but...he has his eye out for a woman, and you're concerned he might prefer that. Does he not get that?
And OMG, how scary and awful!
It turns out that the victim isn't actually dead, but may as well be. He is married to a teacher at the local elementary school and is currently in a coma. Speculation is, if he does come out of it, he won't come very far. He has a less than1 year old baby.
I was just interviewed for a newscast and was surprised that the reporter seemed to want me to say that I'm scared in this neighborhood. All I _could_ say is that this is an urban environment and people just need to be careful.
The victim was walking home from a pub at 2:30. By himself.
A neighbor assures me that it is a yuppie pub. "They don't get that kind of crowd." It would seem that somebody from 'that crowd' was watching though.
"They don't get that kind of crowd."
Except, clearly, it happened. Which in no way means you should say that you are scared in your neighborhood. Or any neighborhood. I just am boggled when people see things in such a binary way. No area is entirely crime-free and all kinds of people commit crimes.
The pet sitter came by, met her and she met Puppycat. All were happy, all around.
Now to figure out what I am feeding mom and I for dinner. I am clearly defaulting to the pesto I made in Portland. It's cute that I am even pretending too look around my fridge.
Oh, bonny. My heart is aching for them.

Don't you know we're all supposed to be terrified all the time?
But letting (or encouraging) you cancel plans with a friend to monkey groom him knowing those things? I wouldn't be thrilled with any of my friends dating someone like that.
I think that one's on me. We were having a very fast-paced text conversation, and I made the decision fairly unilaterally.

I hope he does now? People have weird ideas about bisexuals.
It's been seven hours, and I haven't heard back from him. Entirely possible he has been wrapped up in house stuff, or asleep, or who knows. Regardless, I am not feeling super great about the whole thing. There is already a pattern of miscommunication and not trusting that what I say is true. I'm having trouble figuring it out. What he says he wants and how he goes about it don't seem to match up to me. It's maybe a bit of arrogance papering over insecurities?
::sigh::

Telling people to be careful doesn't make for punchy news blurbs to run every 15 minutes to pimp the newscast, though.

No lie.
After they turned the camera off, I was chatting with the man who asked me to do the interview in the first place. I mentioned that, no matter what time of day or night, there are _always_ people on the street.
The reporter squealed, "That's what you should have said!!" They turned the camera back on and I said that. It will likely be all of what they use, if anything.
bonny that's so horrible.
Will and I had a nice day to day. We ended up driving all over back roads of VT and it was pretty - it was a cool day. We ended up at the Burger Barn and had 2 wonderful burgers. Yummy.
We also talked about ideal future home - it would have acreage, meadow, stream through it, nice view, and a house set back from the road. We didn't actually talk about the house but pointed out ones we liked.
Askye, that sounds like a great day.
I've been avoiding the heat. I have the a/c on, and really don't want to go out and shop. I need to return some stuff to Home Depot, and maybe get a hair cut. Maybe tomorrow will be curtain shopping. I just hate shopping so much. Blah. It's fine when you know what you want. But browsing. So not my thing.
