"Heinz*!"
In March of 2009, I decided to start dating again. After a self-imposed sexual & relationship exile, I found myself caught up in a whirlwind time of exploration and adventure into the Internet dating realm. I learned quickly that dating via the internet was not my style and threatened to delete every profile I had. I was talked out of it.
"You never know when you'll meet the "One", they said.
"Mr. Right could just be a click away."
"They" are a couple of very close friends I shared my adventures with. "They" were on a quest. But it seemed, after several more months of tried and failed dates, I was not. I purchased another "silver bullet" after wearing out another after 3 years of single-hood and was content with no longer searching for "Mr. Right."
And then I resurrected my Facebook account. After having one for a while, I decided to give it a real try. It was there I reconnected with Michael.
After a friendship that had lasted a little over 25 years, hundreds of gaming sessions, millions of jokes, and late night pizza, we decided to get together for dinner. It was almost instantaneous. I knew the moment I saw him in all-Johnny-Cash-black, this time it would be different. Our late night sessions would no longer consist of chips and bean dip; of arguing over the proper amount of experience points to award; over whether Evil Dave's insult was responsible for the loss of yet another player...And I was right. After a fourth get together... (because they weren't classified in my mind as dates... It was Mikey after all!) the all-nighters consisted of intimate conversation & laugh out loud reminiscing after mind blowing.... Well, you know. And that was all she wrote. The fat lady had sung her final aria and I was knee deep in.... Um... Let me rephrase that... I was enchanted, and ensconced, and enthralled, and every other appropriate en- word by Mikey! Mikey?! Who would've ever guessed it.
So... after several months (since Nov. 16th) and at the very least 247 hours, (an hour a day) Michael and I are still making "them" throw up a little in their mouths with our reigned in around them intimacy. "They" are still looking and all I can say is do it. There will come a moment when you'll relax and there it will be... in a place you never expected with someone you'd never imagine. Funny how the universe works.
Michael and I have officially begun to co-habitate. At the moment I am supposed to be unpacking boxes but the meditative repeat of putting books onto shelves got me to thinking... The comfort and de-stressing of my life had me contemplating... And all that urges me to write once again. I'm back, people! I know you've missed me. I've missed me, too.
Love,
The Dame.
*My new job is running the board for various radio programs, one of which is the 702 Empire Radio Show. Khary and the Nutty Bunch are fond of saying "Heinz!" instead of catsup, cos it's better. I, personally, am not a fan of Heinz 57, but "Heinz" sounds better and makes more sense than "Soy!" as a title for a post to catch you up...

Yeah, I've herd the "enchanted, enthralled, etc.... true love crap before" and the simple fact is LOVE IS NOTHING MORE THAN A WEAKNESS THAT WILL (NOT CAN BUT WILL) BE USED AGAINST YOU BY THE VERY PERSON YOU LOVE AND TRUST THE MOST!!!!! So my advise is that you should fuck him over before he fucks you over.
Hello?! Bitter party of one. Your table is ready.
Not bitter, just not afraid to face the facts.
Again, Not bitter I just prefer to accept reality. You found someone to have sex with on a regular basis. Good for you.
But YOU falling in love???? Tell your friends and current victem what you will. You and I know that you are too shallow and fickle to really care about anyone but yourself.
Loyalty, compassion, devotion, Love; are just words to you, words that allow you to play other people for suckers.
On the plus side, you have an excellent BS. presentation. Hell I fell for your deceptions, hook, line and sinker.
But that kind of slimy behavior is what brings you happiness. That and oyur little witch fantasies where you build your self-esteem by belittleing others. Especially those who trust you.
I wish all the happiness you don't deserve. I truely do. Just spare me the bullshit.
Well at least I am mentioned in the post woo hoo, Evil Dave strikes again!!
Me? Responsible for losing another gamer?? Ahh I AM injured I tell you!!!! You didn't have to laugh your asses off at those "insults",indeed, did they leave because of the remark or was over the overwhelmingly loud laughter that followed? I prefer to refer to them as "modestly inflammatory observations"
Evil Dave (not so Evil in his old age unfortunately)
