I have a very good reason. I stayed u pall night long with Elizabeth, the utterly fine and lovely women's studies major, watching TV and holding hands and cuddling on her couch. All night. wowser! And a kiss goodbye in the morning. damn i am tired and I am at work. GODDAMN i wish she wasn't moving. |
|
|
sem, when and where is she moving? how did you meet? what's the deal? DISH. you owe us. :) |
Better living through modern chemistry |
|

|
WAHOOO sem. did you even try and put the make on her? |
i met her through nerve. We met at a bar and hit it off - we have very similar senses of humor and values. Then, I took her out to dinner and another bar for a second date, which is when she told me she was moving back home to Lowell, MA for the summer, then down to Atlanta to attend Emory in the fall for her Ph.D, so she wasn't looking for a boyfriend. Ok, I thought. (also I thought: Shit. Damn. Just my luck) Then I took her to see P-Funk. and we had a great time. Then she took me out to dinner last night. And after we watched The Young Ones and she sat right next to me immediately. About 2-3 hours later we started holding hands. And then we started watching Terms of Endearment, and she snuggled up to me, basically resting her head on my chest and asked me to stroke her hair. Which I did. THe only kiss was the one at the end. I didn't "throw the moves on her" because I was fairly surprised by all this and I don't really tend to do that immediately anyway. She asked me out ot aparty tomorrow night and damn If I ain't going, fool. I will update you all sunday on that. Did I mention that she's a trim brunette, wavy hair, blue eyes and a really unique, cute nose? Did I also mention that I may want to look into airfares to Atlanta? |

P-Funk (sans GC) is playing for free there this weekend at Piedmont Park. The Atlanta jazz fest is coming up too. Can't beat that free show in the park for nothing. |
didn't make a move on her, that just being there on a couch with my arms around a beautiful woman, hold her hand and stroking her hair and that's all, that's really very satisfying. it really filled a place inside that's been empty for a long time, a place that's totally seperate from sex, if that makes any sense. i was unequivocally truly and totally happy for the first time in god know how long. I'm actually expecting that this will only last until she moves. I don't know. My life experience has taught me not to get my hopes up but just go with the flow on this one and enjoy it while i can. maybe I can score a few more moments of that pure happiness, and that's all I can really ask for. No guarantees in life, you know. If somehow she believes in the viability of long distance relationships, well, we'll see. damn, last night was nice. |

|
yet another reason why sem is one of the coolest guys i know. sounds like you have your head on right. i really hope it works out how you want it to. tell us more about her. what do you like about her? |
How sometimes she sort of half closes one eye when she's talking. That she considers music to be the greatest. that she's really intelligent and very funny. that she's socially aware but not religious about it. I like that we don't like many of the same things. I like that she doesn't like it when there are either a lot of plants or cats in a room. she likes the young ones. I like that she made me really listen to the Velvet Underground for the first time in my life. I like her nose, it's unlike any nose I have ever seen - it has interesting structure. I like that I can see residual glints of color in her hair from previous dyes, and I like how it smells. I like that our hands are about the same size. |
drinking, and dave. to start drinking again, or was it the other way around? |
did you, uh. well?!? |
yes. yes. |
Columbus to Atlanta: ~$180 What fools these mortals be. |
|
oh sem. yay! i'm so happy for you! |
|
"I'm so looooonely." |
Ohhhhhh im not being sarcastic......i've talked this way alllllllll myyyyy life." thats the best. |
|
excrement. I think that's a first. |
its not the poop thats important, or the point. |
made for lovin'. Your night of cuddling on the couch sounds exactly like my first night with the boy....mmmm... so sweet. Except we watched UHF. You found a keeper, sem, fly...FLY! |
wine and truffles. I also brought her a surprise, which really surprised her: a copy of her favorite book, which she had forgotten she had told me earlier all about it and that she lost it. I did the whole "Close your eyes" bit and the look on her face when she saw what I had given her - wow. How awesome. (The book is "Red Ranger Came Calling" by Berke Breathed, and I highly recommend it). Then we watched another Young Ones video. Then I came to work in the morning. Everything is screwed up here, but for some reason I don't really care about that. |
It's been, well, it's been a really long time since anyone's called me wonderful. I don't see how I am going to get anywork done at ALL today. |
sem's hormones are doing cartwheels. |
|
day. No carfwheels here. I am playing it cool, don't worry. Cool but not too cool, if you dig. I seem to be making all the right connections with her, though, so keep yer fingers crossed for me. |
|
path. Tonight will be the first night I've spent at home since Wednesday. I hope I can still peel my contacts off my eyelids. |
the parallel universe I would be much younger and have an interesting nose and live in Atlanta. I kick myself daily for not having pursued Semillama when I had a chance. She who has captured his heart had better be worthy of it. I am so happy for you. |
anyhow ; ) She's very worthy of it, too. It's really ridiculous in this day and age to let a little thing like physical distance stand in the way of a relationship, don't you think? |
If this woman does not honour you, Sarah and I will kick her ass. No. We will kill her. |
|
i'll hold her down and let sheila do the rest. but breathe easy sem, i'm sure it won't come to that. |
LDR (Long Distance Relationship) is possible. Even desireable some instances. Think of what happens when together day in and day out...contacts get stuck. Among other things. |
(blushes) |
did you go? i'm sorry i couldn't meet with you, i have been crazy busy. --- and sem, i too will kill her if she hurts you, my little semmy. grr!! awww :) my heart flutters for thee. |
Way to go, bro! No,w go get you one of those 3000 min.-per-month cell phone plans w/no long distance charges for $40 & you're good ta go! Stay In Touch with her over the summer. Email/phone calls & real old-fashioned snail mail cards. (Email's great/but there is Just No Substitute for a hand-written note.) And you'll have a nice, toasty rapport the time she moves to Atlanta. :) |
