a more pleasant accident

We had arranged to go to one of those events frequented by those who, in the words of Margaret Cho, also happen to attend Renaissance festivals and Star Trek conventions. So after work I drove to his place and we made our way to an endearing hole-in-the wall vegetarian Japanese restraunt. Despite my lack of sleep due to the weekend and newly aquired cable television, I was remarkably upbeat and glad to be there with him.

After dinner we drove to the 'seminar', and he put his hand on my thigh and I returned the affection. As the turns in the road became fewer, he was able to put his hand on mine, and it was nice just to do that. It's been a long time since I've done such a simple, good thing.

Oh. I'm on a date. They told me things would work out this way, without me looking for it. Kind of like a car crash that you don't see coming. We laughed at how boring the demonstrations were, and agreed that it was good that we left early. He invites me in for some apple juice and things move along simply and in a good way. I tell him he has a cute nose. No, it's not another fetish, more of an appreciation. I couldn't stay, but we arrange for a longer evening together later in the week.

Awhh, Jimbo. Even I, the prime mover unmoved, am jealous. He's a catch.

and now the blog will die, the tubes pulled in an effort to divert the life-force elsewhere (and to use those tubes for different purposes).

Even my "I hate mornings" little cold heart was warmed by that this AM. *sniffle*

Also, I'm intrigued by this 'seminar.'

and it would be remiss to ask for more detail...?

I'm hoping my writing stimulates your imagination, so you can come to your own conclusions.
