blog enforcement duty
Yes, I will find you. I will find you wherever you are and remind you to update your blog. Just like I did with Dicktard yesterday downtown. My third mutant ability (next to Metro-door tangency and super-keen sense of smell) is to be able to find you in the midst of your Walk of Shame or when you haven't updated your blog entry.
Added Mad Monkey to my list of bloggers on the side. He's the one who dislocated his femur from his pelvis in San Francisco this summer at the rugby tournament. He didn't have insurance either. I'm tempted to play rugby sans insurance the first weekend of December at the James River 7s tournament. Must...play...rugby...
Oh, I love this one, happened again yesterday for the second time this month. You look across the gym/bar and see him, and he's looking back at you. You know, that wanting look. Three times more, and it's confirmed. I cut through the bullshit eye play and approach:
"Hi, my name's Jimb..."
"I HAVE A BOYFRIEND."
"Okay..."
I suppose I should appreciate the upfront interjection, and cannot prevent anyone with a partner to be true. And some people just have to flirt. However, don't get all taken aback when jimbo comes up to you to say hi after you've cruised me. I'm not shy, and I'm not afraid to approach someone I think is attractive. Life is too short for eye-games...you or I could be dead tomorrow and a chance would be lost. And if yer checkin' me out, I'm going to assume you're results-oriented (read: easy slut) like myself, so don't freak out when I make a move. Men can be annoying sometimes.
While I'm on the subject of shy...I find it difficult to believe in shyness in a city like DC, where much of your career, advancement and success depends on your ability to project and socialize. I do, however, believe in selective shyness in DC.
And while I'm on the subject of boyfriends...if you've disappeared off the face of the planet for over a year due to your absorption into a deeply co-dependant relationship, and then suddenly pop a message to me asking a favor, don't expect me to jump up and say "yes Sir!" unless you were my former Dom top. Which you weren't.
Ditch your friends and acquaintances for a relationship? Tacky and weak. I'm not saying don't go for it, but you can still keep in touch. And do not, DO NOT expect favorable results when you suddenly re-materialize from the transporter room of your relationship.
How can I be so goddamn righteous? I was in a relationship for almost three years, where I maintained contact with old friends the best I could. I did, and so can you. Not only is it healthy, it shows you appreciated your friendships that existed before the relationship started. Significant others are important, but so are your friends. And should something go wrong in your relationship, your friends are still there...or will be if you've kept in touch. I think it's called a support network or something.

Ouch! I never want to be on your bad side. But I do find your bluntness very refreshing when I get to witness it against others.
Shyness does exist in DC, I'm a living example of that.
