swans, slurpees, aryans, Tina, princess

Last night at the gym I stopped to say hi to a guy from my hometown who graduated from my high school two years after me. His sister also lives in DC, and she graduated two years before. Both have naturally blonde hair, blue eyes and Scandanavian good looks.

Chris, who now calls himself "Buck" (just as Jim now calls himself "Jimbo") was never an ugly duckling in high school, but has turned into quite the muscular, handsome swan. I would swoon but for the lack of any kind of edge in him. He's sweet, but that's about it. He's just started his own construction company, and my guess is that he would closely resemple one of the Village People on the job. Anyway, Chris was chatting it up with some ghettoized 17th St. queens that I've met once or twice, which struck me as odd. Chris' naturally blonde hair has been bleached a degree or two lighter, and he's a bit more fashionable than the average guy. My gaydar is so feeble that I can't really tell...maybe they're just workout partners? Come work out with me and you be the judge.

Want to know what true torment is? I stopped at the 7-11 and made the most artistic red cherry/blue raspberry layered slurpee. It looked like a fabulous Martian sunset oil painting. I took a sip of my awesome creation, feeling the tart sweetness flow down my throat. I brought my slurpee to the counter to pay for it, and realized I hadn't brought my wallet. I had to THROW AWAY the greatest Slurpee I had ever made.

Later that evening I was trolling the Internet, and some hottie from L.A. chimed in. Now I rarely talk politics with people I've just met, but somehow we got to chatting about Iraq and the possible upcoming war. I spewed some of my pro-war beliefs on him, and he asked me if I was Aryan and into White Power. While I suppose I do look Aryan, I do my best to strive for racial understanding and peace whenever possible. It kind of bothered me that he assumed I was racist just because I was pro-war and anti-terrorist. My guess is that he has a very granola-crunchy outlook on current global issues, like many from the West Coast who were not really affected by the terrorist attacks on or after 9/11. To them it was something on TV, and to a few of the very radical, a possible set-up by Bush himself just to keep himself popular. Hogwash, of course, but I've actually heard it said and read such beliefs in print.

Two of my friends from my hometown are coming to visit this week. One of them is from a bleeding-heart liberal hippie college town in Montana, and my hope is that we will not discuss politics surrounding 9/11. I am very afraid I will become absolutely enraged at the fluffy, idealistic beliefs that she will have to share with me, beliefs based on facts less credible than information from the Dungeons and Dragons 3rd Edition Monster Manual. God grant me the patience...

I'm picking up the other friend at the airport tonight. Her name is Tina. Tina is a real person, and lives in Wisconsin but is in town this week for a conference.

Is it a suprise to anyone that my sexual Modus Operandi turned out to be "Princess"?
is this any suprise?You love to be pampered and romanced by your men and things like cuddling by a fire, having an intimate meal, or having a long, deep conversation can always put you in the mood. Sex to you is usually more about the man you're with than the act itself. Not a one-night stand kind of girl, newness and disconnectedness just don't do it for you. The mature, stable men you prefer to date appreciate your loyalty and big heart, but they especially love the way you inspire their more aggressive, protective masculine side.
What's Your Sexual MO?

Hahahaha...I'm not surprised at all.

When a mindless data script is able to peg you as a princess, you might as well wear the tiara every day.

Die, bitch.

You'll probably end up as the 'Joan Collins' archetype.

I'm a Princess too! (I can't believe I said that...) Who is your 80s Movie Icon Alter-Ego?

I'm happy to say I'm Lloyd Dobbler. Though I've always had a massive crush on John Cusack, so does that make me a total narcissist?

Interesting, I would not have pegged you as pro-war on Iraq.

Interesting, I came out as a sensualist. Plus I was happy to note that I would survive a horror movie, although I came out as a bloody heap. Said I was smart but a bit reckless. LOL no wonder Rowan is always dying.

I wish we would have squashed that freak when we had the whole team there for Desert Storm. Saddam needed a WWII style capital cracking, surrender signing on battleship and zone occupation till we felt like leaving situation. I understand why they did what they did then but all it resulted in was making him and other extreme arab elements more confident in what they thought they could get away with. I think the whole Rand study on Saudi Arabia is a real interesting point.

hmm, i'm adventerous, even though my favorite choice of sexual position was no where to be found.
