Priests and schoolgirls

I get a text message from James Dean wishing me a Happy Halloween. Haven't heard from him in awhile. Nice surprise, but I know he has the kid this weekend so I wish him well.

I then text Keanu Reeves a Happy Halloween. We text and plan to meet up same time same place as the first time. He will be a priest, I imply I will be a schoolgirl...and I'm ready to have confession. Some how getting naked gets mentioned. I'm not sure how that happens but it does.

We have a good yoga work out because one of the women teaches the class not Richard, he's out of town. I try to find a school girl outfit. I am missing plaid skirts from my wardrobe. Shit. I look more like a lawyer. Oh well.

I get to Bal Mar before the priest. I people watch. There is a guy dressed like a transformer, he transforms into a jagermeister bottle. He's drunk. Reeves arrives and the transformer shows us his costume, Reeves watches him and thinks it's so weird that he looks like a normal guy when he takes off his mask. He thinks the guy is sort of sad. I think it's funny. The place is packed. There is a group sitting next to us who are tourists and farmers. They are sad.

We leave as transformer dude is up in front of the crowd trying to win the prize.

drinks: He has 2 cocktails, I have 2 glasses of wine.

Topics of conversation: priests and schoolgirls and should we get naked later?

Why not? I need some action.
We get into the Volvo station wagon and stop off at QFC for a bottle of wine.
Back to Reeves apartment. He has 10 bikes in the living room.
We make out on the sofa.
We take our clothes off.
I go down on him, I enjoy giving head, a lot!
He's enjoying it, a lot!
We have a conversation about sex toys, he had to use them with his xwife. She couldn't come without. So glad that's not me!
I think sex toys belong to the person they are used on. Reeves differs in this...what the hell? who wants to use someone else's dildo? Yuck.
We don't need toys.
He comes 4 times! This hasn't happened to me since I was in college, it's impressive.

After I come, he drives me home.

I get home and realize I am missing my pearl ear ring. Shit. I call him. He finds it. We will figure out how can get back. He has the boys all weekend. I'll be waiting.

shopping and rockabilly boys

Today I started something with a rockabilly boy this morning who ended up asking me to dinner tonight. I'm all for action so I went to dinner.

But
First I went shopping with one of my oldest friends, Heather. We are in similar positions, single and 40, well she's technically not 40 till next Spring, but it's not like it's anything but a number.

Heather is cute. She is slim, goes to the gym, does yoga, runs. She looks good in Levi's and high heels. She is a girly girl. She owns a townhouse and drives a Lexus SUV. She is in sales and travels a lot for work. She is approached by men everywhere she travels. No problems having male friends in her sales territories that she sees when in town for business. Men buy her drinks when she's at a bar, and not always on expense accounts.
Except in Seattle, there is something in the water or maybe it's the coffee. They don't enjoy women here, I'm convinced.
The best thing is to try to find one who just moved here from somewhere else..

She is on Match.com.
So far she's gone out on 4 dates (but she admits she's not putting the time into it). She says the worst was a guy who kept talking about some other guy...she began to think maybe he was gay and just hadn't realized it, so she asked "Who is Jeff, you keep talking about him?", and he said it was his room mate. Ruined it for her. She wants a home owner or at least someone who lives alone! hahaha.
She also wants an older established man. She sent her early 30's dating men 8 years younger, just like I did. I still don't think this is a problem. I have personally found the younger ones to be more open and fun.
Recently,
She met an older cowboy who lived over the pass. Too far away.
She went out three times with room mate boy before realizing he wasn't for her.
She was set up by some friends, but the guy was flaky.
Not having much luck either.

While we are shopping I'm texting the Rockabilly boy.
We decide to meet at Bad Albert's for dinner, he has band rehearsal at 8 so it will be quick.

Food/drink: He doesn't drink alcohol so orders a Shirley Temple, I order a beer. He doesn't eat beef so gets a chicken pasta dish. I get a burger.

Topics of conversation:
Drumming, he's really into it and is trying to get into a marching corps. Interesting. Sort of.
Work: He's a painter...as in paints interiors, explains the weird look in his eye, too much inhalation of chemicals! I work at an art store, he knows it! Amazing.
Tats: He has many. I have 2
Slut: He is one, he admits that he usually researches his date more off the Internet. He asks me if I want to go to his house and fuck at least 3 times. What's up with that? I don't even think he's that into me.
He seems jumpy, is it drugs?

He does ask me if I'd like to come to his show next weekend. Unfortunately I will be visiting my mother in Yakima and going to hear David Sedaris read.

We split the check.
Take his dogs for a quick walk and smoke a cigarette. His dogs are cuter than he is.

I'm over rude rockabilly boys.

sleep!

I am staying in tonight. I have decided I need to have some rules.
Rule 1. I am only going to drink 2 times a week from now on. I can't do this everyother night thing.
Rule 2. No sex on the first date...this was already my rule but I almost broke it last night. The intention was there.

The day was so long today...I need sleep.

Not only women do it

Lying about your age.
Lee Vinning is at least 50!
He's late, at least 20 minutes late.
He's big, tall, fit. Knows people who have climbed Everest, looks like he could.
He says at one point that his friends are trying to set him up "but there is now way he could go out with a 55 year old woman." I believe him.

Is he 55? Wow, he looks good.

I ask him what is the last CD he bought. Bruce Springsteen. I didn't even know Bruce had new music out. I am sure he's 55 now.

He keeps trying to kiss me. Touching my ear ring. This is pretty. Touching my neck. Your lips are beautiful he says about 10 times.
He also says "You look great for 40" I really hate that for some reason.

We drink too much.
We get an order of chicken satay.
He follows me home in his car.
He's a good kisser.
He's convincing.
He has condoms with him, magnums...I'm 2 for 2!
He loses his errection.
It's ok because I wasn't really that into him.
He goes home 20 minutes after arriving.

I lost my handknitted scarf, I must have left it at the bar.

I don't expect to hear from him again.

Blue Jean Baby

I meet up with Keanu Reeves after yoga. We meet at Thai ku, but there are no good tables so we move to Bal Mar. He gives he a mini hug and a quick brush against the cheek when we say hello. He's tall, he's bulky, he is athletic. Over 6ft. and 200 lbs. So not used to that size. Handsome in a cute boyish way. Wearing jeans and a hoody that has some weird phrase on it, is it suposed to be hip?

drinks/food:
We get a glass of wine each. Order a salad and the chicken satay, to split.

Topics of conversation:
Age/dating: people that lie about the ages or info on personal adds. He admits to meeting a woman who had given him a fake name and cut her age by 7 years and she turned out to be a private investigator and she had all the dirt on him. I love these type of stories!!

The biggest determent to that kind of shit is that it does make a difference, in music tastes especially. Like the PI, the last show she'd seen was Elton John. I understood exactly what he was saying. He listens to KEXP and sees bands at small clubs, he doesn't want to go out with a 47 year old who listens to Elton John.

The last show I saw was a group show at the Sunset tavern. I just bough the KEXP compelation CD. At least we have a common ground.

He also has the feeling that internet dating is how he will meet his next girlfriend. Weird. Why don't I feel this way?
Something about being a dad and not having time.

Work: He likes his work. I need a new job.

We have 3 glasses of wine each. He walks me to my car.
His lifelong dream to make out with a girl named Cindy comes true.

I get a thank you text.

Keep 'em coming

Just because James Dean and I have been hanging out doesn't mean I ignored others.
I have two more divorced men I am trying to meet.

Keanu Reeves is a 40 year old lawyer with 2 young boys that he has on weekends, Thursday to Sunday...I can already see this won't be working out...but I'll give it a try. He is into bike racing. I haven't been on a bike since I was in Indonesia 10 years ago.

Lee Vinning is a 42 year old with teenage daughters. All his pictures are of him mountain climbing in full gear, I have no idea what he looks like. But I like mountain climbing, in theory.

Trying to meet up with them is problematic. I have yoga on Monday and Wednesday nights after work and Tuesdays I have knitting.

Instant boring relationship

James Dean and I have Imed all week. He has the weekend free.
I call him when I get off work and invite him over for dinner, "I know you have been sitting if front of the TV all day doing nothing. You need to eat." I say.

Food/drink:
He's over in a flash brings a 6 pack of MGD. Nice.
I make some Indian food from mix, it's ok.

Topics of conversation:
The daughter, school. How much he hates and has no trust in the baby mama. He says he feels so alone when his daughter is gone he really feels aimless.
Health: How he was born with a congenital heart disease and has passed it onto his daughter. He takes meds for it daily and was a sickly kid.

But I get some action, that's why I really invited him over, I've been masturbating daily since last week.
We have sex, it's good. I come mutiple times.
James Dean has an awesome cock, it's perfect. Unfortunately he really hasn't been forced to use it. He wants woman on top. Reverse cowgirl. That's as exciting as it really gets. I suspect he's just not that into me...or depressed.

He tries to sleepover but we just aren't good at it. He leaves about 5 in the morning.

Not sure if I'll see him again.

Into the wild

So after a week of IMing and some phone calls, in which he tries to go the phone sex way again...yikes!! James Dean and I decide to go to a movie on Saturday. Into the Wild is my choice. I loved the book, he hasn't read it.

So he picks me up at 6, he is very prompt, but he lives 10 blocks away. Something I find attractive. We go to the UDistrict and on the way he tells me more about the baby mama, I forget how easy it is to get information form men when they are driving. He's frustrated with her and he's stuck since they have a child.

drinks/food: cocktails at Flowers, 2 each before the movie. We bought our tickets before we go for drinks, he pays for the tickets. I buy a round of drinks. no popcorn.

Topics of conversation:
While at Flowers we talk more about his daughter, school, my work. It's nice, he's a bit more animated than last week.

Movie is good, we hold hands most of it. Cute.

We head back to Ballard and decide to stop at The Viking for another drink. He checks out some girls while we are there. I think we are both getting a bit drunk with flirting and nervousness.

Back to my place, make out a bit. Clothes come off, condom goes on.
James Dean is hung like a porn star! How exciting!
He hasn't had sex in awhile either.
I come 8 times to his one.
I needed this!
The next morning he pulls me on top and we fit together so nicely. I love it how men can come so fast in the morning sometimes! We both come fast together. It seems like I have forgotten how good that feels.

I make him some eggs for breakfast and he's hangin around watching TV but I need to go...I'm meeting some friends to go on the Wallingford House tour.

Bye James, hope we can do this again.

knitting

I get together with my girl friends once a week for "knitting". Tonight I'm hosting. We drink and eat. That's all I'm going to say today.

Yoga shorts

If that's what you call them.
We are taking a twice a week class. Our yogi has been teaching yoga since the 70's. He's extremely limber. We are not.

Richard wears these tiny black cotton boxer like shorts so we can see all his muscles and what you need to be doing with parts of your body. It's Iyengynar yoga so it's pose, then pose, then pose. Good for learning. Not really what we were expecting. I think it's going to be good.

Suzie is grossed out by his feet, he does need a pedicure. It looks like his feet would withstand hot concrete.
