Parking. . .

Well, Partyboy and I didn't hang out on Tuesday night, which was a good thing, because Steadman, my boss, worked with me that day, so I was a bit too tired to really do anything. Wednesday evening, PB texted (don't think that's a word, but I'm making it one now!) me asking what I was up to. Told him I was just relaxing on the couch. He said he and his friends had just finished mixing his album in the studio (he's a musician and working on a solo album) and are hanging out at a local bar and that I should come. It was 10:45 and since Cashmere Mafia was on, I wasn't going to start getting ready until 11, but I told him I'd get ready and be over there soon. Got to the place around 11:20pm (I'm quick like that), but couldn't find parking, so PB hopped in my car to help me find a parking spot. We quickly found one and got out of my car.

Once I had put my jacket on, PB did it. He did something that makes my knees weak. He walked up to me, put one arm around my lower back and one hand grabbed the side of my face/head and kissed me. Sigh. We kissed in the parking lot for a good 5 or 10 minutes. He had had a few drinks, but the kissing was still good. We went to the bar and joined his friends at a booth on the patio. It was funny, he introduced me using his sense of humor that I understand, but his friends didn't know I understood, so at first, they were shocked, but I fired right back with a little quip and PB said, "See guys? This is why I love hanging out with her! She can totally handle it and she fires right back!"

We hung out at this bar for about an hour, it was a different crowd, but I didn't really care. PB was being grabby, which I like- holding my leg under the table or putting his arm around me. We went inside for a bit and he just kept wanting to stand in front of me with his arms around me. One of his friends wanted to go to another bar nearby, but PB, his other friend James, and I were ready to call it a night. So PB, James and I left. PB had to give his friend James a ride back to his place, so since it was on the way back towards my house, I followed in my car. Got to the little complex James lives at and dropped him off. PB pulled his car around next to mine and got out and into my car. He brought the CD he had finished working on with him so I could hear it.

Within 30 seconds, we were making out. Yes, very 1950s of us, we made out in a parked car in a random parking lot for about an hour! It was definitely hot and heavy. I'm still having little flashbacks that come into my head every once in a while that give me little zaps of adrenaline. Especially when I remember him telling me how badly he wants to drive me crazy. Wow. Even though it was almost 2am when we finally called it a night, we had a really hard time stopping the make-out session, he got out of my car and came to my window to kiss some more. Poor guy only got maybe 4 hours of sleep.

PB is out of town this weekend, so I won't be seeing him until sometime this week. I'm glad we stayed in the car the other night, I didn't want to get too carried away with things by going back to one of our places. He tried his hardest to convince me though, telling me how he'd cuddle me all night and cook me breakfast in the morning. I resisted though. I'll stay the night if the night starts earlier.

As far as sex goes, maybe this is silly of me, but if I'm going to have sex with PB, I'd like that to be on a weekend night. I'd stay the night and just do pretty much everything but sex on a weeknight, but for sex, I'd prefer a Friday or Saturday night. I can even see it might be a bit ridiculous to think that, but whatever!

Okay, on to Security Guy. Things are still the same. We text back and forth throughout most of the day. We've only talked on the phone once though and that was for 5 minutes. This is mainly my fault though, I'd been avoiding talking on the phone for the first week we were texting because things were so great that I was scared talking on the phone would somehow screw things up. I'm sure we'll talk on the phone again soon though since he has the night off tonight. My main thing with him though is that he's on the road with the band and I have no clue when I'll see him again. So that makes it kind of hard to really get attached or anything. I'm just going to play this situation by ear.

Crazy Girl and I are getting together tomorrow to have lunch and hang out. Should definitely be fun, as it always is when Crazy Girl and I get together. Saw "Jumper" today which was good. Not great, not bad. Just good. The special effects were really cool as was the whole premise of being able to "jump" to anywhere in the world instantaneously. But, considering the fact that the movie was only an hour and a half long, they could have spent another 20 minutes developing the story behind the characters a little more.

That's all for now! Hope you all are having a great weekend!

On a Roll?

So, I had quite the unexpected Friday night. Seems like Single Girl is suddenly VERY attractive to the menfolk. Got a call from a guy I shall nickname Partyboy, who used to be at Shabbat dinner at The Couple's house when I would go there for dinner. He and I always got along and would laugh hysterically through the whole dinner. He's a good-looking guy, but nothing ever happened because one of us was always in a relationship. Since The Couple moved to LA and now Tennessee, Partyboy and I hadn't seen each other in months and months, I can't even remember when. So, he wrote me a note on Facebook saying we should hang out and I gave him my number. He called me Friday night to invite me out with him and one of his friends. Being the old lady I am, I usually don't go out on Friday nights. I'm usually just too tired after the work week to get dressed up and go out somewhere noisy. But lately I've been feeling like I need to get out more, so I told Partyboy I would go out with him and his friend since they were going to a bar near me.

Around 11:30 I met up with PB and his friend. We sat at a table on the outside patio and it was just like it used to be. I was laughing hysterically, as was PB and his friend. I had only planned on going out for an hour, but before I knew it, it was 1:30am and PB was asking where we should go next. By this time, we had moved to a table inside the bar. I looked at my phone and PB had text message me, "You look really hot tonight." Well now, PB! I texted him back that he's looking pretty good himself. We decided to go to a very seedy club up the street that's known in town as the place that strippers go to retire. Before going there, I went to use the restroom. Partially to fan myself. Goes to show how long it's been for Single Girl. All I could think of was that scene in the first episode of "Lipstick Jungle" if any of you have seen that. WOW. PB had also gone to the restroom at the same time as me, so I wouldn't have been surprised if that happened and was secretly hoping it would. But it didn't. He was waiting for me in the hall when I came out of the restroom but didn't make a move. He drove to the seedy club with me in my car and had his friend follow us in his car. I thought for sure he would make a move then, but he didn't. Boys. He did ask me if he could take me on a date. I told him he could.

The seedy club was quite the sight. I got hit on by some guys there too, but I certainly was not about to be picked up in that place. We stayed there for about 40 minutes before deciding to call it a night. PB and his friend begged me to go out with them again soon, they had so much fun. I promised them I would, that I had a ton of fun. PB picked me up and twirled me around and I gave him a kiss on the cheek. As soon as I got home, they both text messaged me saying they had a great time, PB adding that he was still up if I wanted to hang out. I declined the offer telling him to call me another time if he wanted to hang out.

Partyboy text messaged me a few times yesterday just to see what I was up to and then called me at 11:30 to invite me out. I told him that I was way too tired after being kept out until 3am the night before and not sleeping very well. He was being persistent, but I was not going to budge, especially since I hadn't been feeling too well all day. He finally said okay. Then about 45 minutes later, PB calls again to try one more time to get me out. Still wasn't happening. Then he says, "I should have kissed you last night." My jaw dropped. Sorry, I know it's been a while since I've gotten butterflies, but that turned me on, I guess it's easier these days! But, it still wasn't going to get me to get out of bed. Plus I would have to shave my legs. I told him he should have kissed me, but he didn't, so he'll have to do that next time. We have plans to hang out Tuesday night, so we'll see what happens.

The Security Guy and I have also been messaging back and forth. He's such a sweet and funny guy. So we'll see what happens there.

I'm just not ready for anything too serious right now, so this is all exactly what I need.

Drama free!

Well, not much to update you all on. Without the drama The Swimmer brought, I've been laying low and enjoying less drama in my life for a bit!

Had a great time with my new friend (who I'll call Bra Girl because I met her while shopping for a new bra) over this past weekend. I hung out with her and a couple of her friends on Friday night and we just sat around and talked for a few hours. It was actually a lot of fun. She's been out of town all week, but we're going to try to get together this weekend or next week.

Tomorrow, I'm hanging out with Crazy Girl. She's getting her hair done, so I'm going to go sit with her while she gets that done and then we're going to go and get lunch together. I'm sure I'll be trying to flirt with the hot, straight assistant guy at the salon that hit on me when I got my hair cut last time. He mentioned hanging out together sometime, so maybe this time I'll have the guts to bring that up.

Valentine's Day was pretty low-key for me. No date or anything. It actually seemed like a regular day for me except for all of the Valentine's Day crap on tv. I got quite the surprising text message yesterday morning though. It was from my favorite band in the whole world's security guy. It seems that he has had a crush on Single Girl since he met me and has been working up the nerve to text me. Needless to say, I was extremely surprised. We texted back and forth for most of the day yesterday and for a bit today. Don't worry, I'm surely not jumping into anything, I'm definitely not ready for another serious relationship just yet. Too much going on in my life right now. I guess this isn't something he does often because he told me that the people on the tour bus he was on were giving him shit for texting me as much as he was. When he told me that, it occurred to me that those people just might be some of the band. Woah. Weird. Very strange. They shut up when they saw a picture of Single Girl.

Anyways, it's all fun for me, nothing serious, so nothing to worry about. Right now I'm looking for a local, hot, fun guy to have a nothing serious fling with until I move south. I think I need that now, especially after the drama that was The Swimmer. I don't think that will be too hard to find though!

Naked Men and Music

Had such a great weekend with Best College Friend (BCF) - it was so nice to see her and hang out, it almost felt like we were in college again. She got in on Saturday afternoon and after relaxing for a bit, we got ready for dinner and met up with Crazy Girl for fondue. We had a hilarious time at dinner and flirted with the very young waiter. To show how young he is, I give you this funny little story. Crazy Girl decides to order an alcoholic beverage to drink with dessert and before giving him her ID, we tell him how he just made her night by carding her and thank him for that. He then glances at her ID and gasps and says, "Woah!" We burst out laughing, she's only 28, and then ask how old he is. We then find out the poor kid was 20. No wonder he thinks 28 is old.

After dinner, we took BCF back to my place and tried to get her to change into a more revealing top to go out in. She thought we were just going out to a bar or a club, but little did she know we were taking her to the all male, naked strip club. BCF, being the very conservative girl that she is, had only brought sleeveless turtleneck or cowl neck tops to wear to go out in at night. Not something you would wear to a strip club. We tried to get her to wear one of my more revealing tops, but she just wouldn't have it and would only consent to wearing a less revealing tank top of mine. So, since it seemed like she was getting mad, we just let it be and set off. I pulled up to the strip club and when she saw we were there and not a regular dance club, she was so excited! It was hilarious! She was bouncing up and down in the seat and clapping her hands. Then she says, "You should have made me wear one of the slutty tops!" Too funny. After being inside for a while, we told her we were buying her a lap dance. She resisted until I told her that she would regret not getting one, just like she regretted not wearing a "sluttier" top. The stripper we chose for her came over and she tells him, "This is my first time, so be gentle!" Wrong thing to say! He gave her quite the dirty lap dance. It was hilarious! All in all, it was a fun night and some guy at the club gave me a shirt he got that said, "Got Dick?" on it. I gave it to BCF to give to her fiance. Heh heh.

Sunday we were exhausted. I guess we're just not used to being up until 3:30am anymore! So we went to the mall to go to the playground, aka, Sephora. Then we saw "27 Dresses," totally adorable. Can Katherine Heigl please be my friend? She seems so cool!

Monday we went to see our favorite band in concert. It was so amazing, I can't even begin to describe. We managed to talk our way into a radio station meet and greet with the band which was just beyond words. Finally got to talk about one of my favorite songs with the guy who wrote it. Crazy. The concert was fantastic, we had 9th row seats and then the band's security guy remembered me from another show and got us from our seats to stand at the front row. Insane.

BCF had a 7:30am flight to catch the next morning, so it was all over pretty quickly. But it was definitely a crazy fun weekend.

Otherwise, things have been pretty much the same for me as far as work and the guy situation. I think I am going to write up a profile and get on jdate. I haven't dated in almost 2 years, so why not start dating again just to get out there. I can correspond with guys in Florida as well as where I am and just see what happens. I will be sure to make it clear to any guys I meet where I'm at that I see any potential in that I plan on moving soon, that way there isn't any misleading.

I went out to lunch with a new friend today and had a great time. She actually gave me some great insight into the jdate scene where I'm at, so that was actually kind of funny. She's also good friends with a girl who was friends with the guy I dated before The Swimmer. Such a small world! She invited me to see some band with her and some friends tonight, but I had too much work stuff to catch up on and hadn't even eaten dinner when she was on her way to the venue, so it just wasn't going to work. I'm hanging out with her on Friday though, so it should be fun.

On a sad note, my tv is having some issues. Not my cable, but my actual tv. And it's only 2 years old. The repair guy can't even come out until next week, so I'm stuck with the volume too loud until then. And, yes, my remote has batteries, it's not that! So soon I'll have to make the decision - fix the tv or try to sell it for what I can get and buy a new one? How come my Mom has a 20 year old tv that works perfectly fine, but these new ones break so easily?!

Ouch.

I'll have stories for you tomorrow. My head hurts too much now to write. Off to shower and get into bed. Hope everyone is enjoying the Super Bowl!
