Geminis, Y’All (Part 4)

Posted on June 03, 2010

[Continued from "Geminis, Y'All (Part 3)."]

There are way more famous Geminis than I knew.

Hot:

Not:

  • Namath, Joe (May 31):  Football?
  • Oates, Joyce Carol (June 16):  I think I’ve read one of her books.  It was short and pretty lame.  It was a very thinly veiled telling of the story of Ted Kennedy killing that woman.
  • Obama, Sasha (June 10):  She’s just a kid.  I’m not too into kids.
  • Olivier, Sir Laurence (May 22):  He was supposed to be a great actor.  I guess.
  • Olsen Twins, The (June 13):  What the fuck have they done lately?
  • Popes Alexander (May 21) and Gregory XIII (June 7):  The Catholic church is bullshit, and the popes are the kings of bullshit.  I’m not sure which Alexander my source is referring to, and Gregory XIII may have been born in January and therefore not a Gemini.
  • Reuben, Gloria (June 9):  Another actress who always looks sad to me.
  • Rivers, Joan (June 8):  She’s really annoying now, but I think I used to like her back when she was kind of funny.  Now she’s just freaky and nutty.
  • Rushdie, Salman (June 19):  I’ve never read his stuff, and he’s creepy looking, but he must be interesting and smart, right?
  • Sanford, Mark (May 28):  Hypocrites are shitheads.
  • Shakur, Tupac (June 16):  I have no clue why people loved him so much and continue well after his death.
  • Spitzer, Eliot (June 10):  Apparently Geminis have trouble being faithful.  And like whores.
  • Trump, Donald (June 14):  He’s a douche.
  • West, Kanye (June 8):  Ditto.
  • Young, Brigham (June 1):  Look, another randy Gemini.  Unfortunately, this one was Mormon.  Creepy.

And we’re done.  Thank y’all for the birthday wishes. Hope all you Geminis out there have great birthdays.

I swear.  True story.

Geminis, Y’All (Part 3)

Posted on May 31, 2010

[Continued from "Geminis, Y'All (Part 2)."]

Yes, the Gemini-fest continues.  Just think about how hot – or tepid – these folk are.

Hot:

  • Kennedy, John F. (May 29):  My mother remembered where she was when she heard JFK had been shot.  I remember where I was when I heard Princess Diana had died.
  • Kevorkian, Jack (May 28):  Yep, I do think people should be able to off themselves with help when they choose to do so.  I’m glad Dr. K thinks so, too.
  • Keynes, John Maynard (June 5):  Anyone who’s ever taken any sort of economics class has heard of this guy.
  • Kinnear, Greg (June 17):  He’s pretty funny.
  • Klum, Heidi (June 1):  I don’t think she’s nearly as hot as many do, but she’s hilarious when she tells people they’re “Out!”
  • LaBeouf, Shia (June 11):  He’s all young and cute.  No, I don’t have any interest in seeing any Transformers movies but Guide to Recognizing Your Saints was good.
  • Laurie, Hugh (June 11):  “House M.D.” is just damn good.  I’m one of the many who loves yet hates Gregory House.
  • Lee, Peggy (May 26):  She had “Fever.”
  • Lima, Adriana (June 12):  She can’t act, but she sure is pretty.
  • Lynde, Paul (June 13):  I loved him on tv shows when I was a kid.  My favorite was the voice of Templeton on Charlotte’s Web.
  • Manilow, Barry (June 17):  I liked his stuff when I was a kid.  And I recently fucked a guy who claimed BM was his godfather.
  • Martin, Dean (June 7):  He was good looking, had a great voice, and a drinker.  What’s not to love?
  • Mathers, Jerry (June 2):  I don’t know why, but I loved “Leave It to Beaver” when I was a kid.
  • McGinley, Ted (May 30):  I used to think he was cute.  I like how he’s put on tv shows before they fail.
  • McKellen, Ian (May 25):  I dig a distinguished gay gentleman.
  • Milk, Harvey (May 22):  I live in San Francisco.  I have to like Harvey Milk.  And people should be out of they want.
  • Miller, Christa (May 28):  I liked her on “The Drew Carey Show” and her bitchy turn on “Scrubs” was funny.
  • Miller, Wentworth (June 2):  HOT!
  • Monroe, Marilyn (June 1):  She was lucky enough to die when she was 36.
  • Murphy, Cillian (May 25):  I’m not one for eyes, but his are downright dreamy.  And his accent ….

Tepid:

There’s more, of course.  Gotta get through the whole alphabet.

I swear.  True story.

Nice View

Posted on May 29, 2010

This looks just lovely.  Those are lovely breasts that gravity hasn’t had much of a chance to mistreat.  Not that gravity is a cruel bitch or anything.  But she is.  Always pulling.  Keeping our feet on the ground.  And dragging down our soft bits.

This lovely lady, however, has only had the benefits of gravity so far in her life.  Good for her.  I hope she realizes what she has now, before it’s gone.  Or at least closer to the ground.

All those women who say they posed new when their bodies were looking their best?  Yeah, I get it.  I certainly have never had a nude posing-worthy body, but I wish I knew what I had when I had it.  When I was a size 7 I thought I was fat.  Silly me.  I always thought I was fat, probably because I thought I looked like my mother, who was fat, and because I didn’t look like my sister or my step-sister, who were both very skinny.

While I wish I knew what I had when I had it, I’m glad I have what I have now, even if it’s not perfect.  Not even close to perfect.  I have a funky toenail and flat feet; I miss shaving a few hairs near each ankle bone most of the time; I have a biopsy scar on one calf and a 1990s “tribal” tattoo on the other; I have shitty knees that hurt more when I’m going downhill than up; my thighs are … not slim, but they are strong; I have more body hair than I’d like; my stomach isn’t flat; my hips aren’t small; my breasts aren’t as perky as I’d like; my arms are not well defined; I have a big nose; I have acne; my hair is almost too thick (yes, I know this is one of those complaints for which some will hate me); I require corrective lenses; I grind my teeth.  Not even close to perfect.  But I’m me.

So I’m looking forward to my 37th year.  Happy birthday to me.

I swear.  True story.

Geminis, Y’All (Part 2)

Posted on May 28, 2010

There are more interesting Geminis than I thought when I began this (not so) little project.  Continued from “Geminis, Y’All (Part 1).”

Cool as shit:

Luke warm shit:

  • Etheridge, Melissa (May 29):  Yeah, it’s cool that she’s an out lesbian, but her music does nothing for me.
  • Fleming, Ian (May 28):  James Bond’s creator.  Whatever.
  • Flynn, Errol (June 20):  I’ve never seen any of his movies, but I suppose he was good looking.
  • Fox, Michael J. (June 9):  Never thought he was even a little cute.
  • Frank, Anne (June 12):  Maybe if I’d ever read her diary, which I’m sure she wanted kept private, I’d feel differently.  But I didn’t, so I don’t.
  • Gehrig, Lou (June 19):  I guess he played baseball.  Sorry about that disease, dude.
  • Gingrich, Newt (June 17):  Yuck.
  • Giuliani, Rudy (May 28):  He has some messed up hair.
  • Goodman, Benny (May 30):  Not to into swing thing.  At least musically.
  • Graf, Steffi (June 14):  I don’t really care about tennis, but it is interesting that Andre Agassi has married two Geminis, Steffi and Brooke Shields (May 31).
  • Guevara, Che (June 14):  I’m certainly not about to wear an item of clothing with his face on it, but Gael García Bernal played him in The Motorcycle Diaries, which means he’s hot by association.
  • Hammett, Dashiell (May 27):  He wrote detective novels and shit.
  • Hardy, Thomas (June 2):  I really should read some of my fellow Geminis’ stuff.  I’m in good company, I guess.
  • Heche, Anne (May 25):  Bisexual and whacked out on drugs.  Hmmm.  Oh, she has a kid.  Yuck.  That’s why she’s here and not above.
  • Humphrey, Hubert H. (May 27):  Yeah, he was President, but he wasn’t all that.
  • Hunt, Helen (June 15):  She has a huge forehead.
  • Ice Cube (June 15):  I love Friday but his stupid-ass “family” movies scream, “Paycheck!” in a bad way.  I understand calming down in ones old age, but he is ridiculous.
  • Iverson, Allen (June 7):  Basketball?
  • Jennings, Waylon (June 15):  I’m not too into country music, but I have a good friend who is.
  • Jindal, Bobby (June 10):  Creepy governor of Louisiana.
  • Jolie-Pitt, Shiloh (May 27):  She’s just a kid, so I shouldn’t think badly, but the poor thing has the first name of a dog.

[Continued.]

I swear.  True story.

Geminis, Y’All (Part 1)

Posted on May 26, 2010

We are currently in Gemini, the third sign of the Western Zodiac.  It runs roughly between May 21 and June 20.  Geminis are pretty cool people.  In the interest of full disclosure, I must say that I am a Gemini, which makes me pretty biased.  Not only am I a Gemini, but I get along very well with Geminis.  Some I get along with so well I fuck them.  I can think of only one Gemini with whom I did not get along, and I think that was more due to him having trouble with smart women with opinions of their own than our mutual sign.

Of course there are many famous Geminis.  Some are cool.  Some are not.  Some are meh.

Geminis who make me feel proud to share a sign with them:

  • Auberjonois, René (June 1):  Actor on “Benson.”  Need I say more?
  • Aung San Suu Kyi (June 19):  Burmese civil rights leader.
  • Baker, Josephine (June 3):  Entertainer and renouncer of American citizenship.
  • Barbeau, Adrienne (June 11):  Actress and owner of bodacious boobage.
  • Barris, Chuck (June 3):  Game show guy and unconfirmed secret spy.  Subject and co-writer of Confessions of a Dangerous Mind starring hottie Sam Rockwell.
  • Bening, Annette (May 29):  Actress in a damn good movie, American Beauty.
  • Biafra, Jello (June 17):  Lead “singer” of the Dead Kennedys, San Francisco punk band.
  • Blanc, Mel (May 30):  Who doesn’t love the Looney Tunes?  Oh, and MB was born in San Francisco and shares my birthday.
  • Burghoff, Gary (May 24):  Radar from “M*A*S*H*.”  Uh, Radar from “M*A*S*H*”!
  • Carey, Drew (May 23):  He’s pretty funny, though I’ve not seen him in “action” on “The New Price is Right.”
  • Cera, Michael (June 7):  Nerdy actor.  Anyone associated with “Arrested Development” is more than ok by me.  Very much looking forward to the movie.
  • Chabon, Michael (May 24):  Author of The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, a Pulitzer Prize-winning book.  I’ve read it, and it’s good.  I read it back when I belonged to a book club.  The book club went from us reading and discussing books to us not reading and drinking wine.  I need to join another book club.
  • Church, Thomas Hayden (June 17):  Actor in “Ned and Stacy” and Sideways.
  • Collins, Joan (May 23):  Her character on “Dynasty” has inspired me to keep my former husband’s last name.  While I’m never getting married again, I love the idea of having a string of last names from all of my spouses.
  • Dahmer, Jeffrey (May 21):  What?  He was a really good serial killer.  He was really into men.
  • Depp, Johnny (June 9):  He’s hot and all, but his continued work with Tim Burton really makes me want to hurl.  I hate Tim Burton and all his stupid movies.  Yes, all of them.
  • Eastwood, Clint (May 31):  Clint is just damn cool.  However, I’m not too into the movies he’s been directing lately, and he was a real asshole to Sondra Locke (May 28) back in the day.  I know this due to a court decision I read in law school.  Sondra is also a Gemini.  I told you Geminis dig each other.  A lot.
  • Ebert, Roger (June 18):  While I don’t always agree with his reviews, he’s still the living film critic.
  • Edelstein, Lisa (May 21):  Inappropriately dressed hottie from “House M.D.” and object of lust of James Deen, whom I may dig even though I’ve never seen him in porn action.

Geminis.  I’m kind of neutral about these ones.

  • Abdul, Paula (June 19):  It’s kind of cool that she’s always blitzed out of her mind.
  • Atkins, Chet (June 20):  He’s some sort of athlete, right?  Nope, a musician.
  • Bakley, Bonny Lee (June 7):  “Famous” for being murdered by someone famous.
  • Bellow, Saul (June 10):  I guess he was an important writer.
  • Bleeth, Yasmine (June 14): I guess she used to be hot.
  • Boone, Pat (June 1):  Singer, right?
  • Bush, Barbara (June 8):  Her dog wrote a book.
  • Bush, George Herbert Walker (June 12):  Not as stupid as his son.
  • Campbell, Naomi (May 22):  She’s a model.  With a violent streak.  Which is kind of cool.
  • Carver, Raymond (May 25):  Writer.
  • Cassatt, Mary (May 22):  Painter.  I’m not particularly fond of her stuff, but I guess I’m supposed to like it.
  • Cousteau, Jacques-Yves (June 11):  Who doesn’t love the ocean?
  • Christo (June 13):  “Artist.”
  • Clooney, Rosemary (May 23):  George Clooney’s aunt.  I met George Clooney once.  Back before “ER” but after “Facts of Life.”  I’m not sure where “Roseanne” fits in there.  It was the early 90s.
  • Cox, Courteney (June 15):  Whatever.  She’s kind of annoying.
  • Cox, Nikki (June 2):   Seems to really like funny and funny-ish guys.
  • Curtis, Tony (June 3):  He was hot when he was younger.
  • Davis, Miles (May 26):   Everyone says he’s cool, but I really don’t like jazz.
  • Doyle, Arthur Conan (May 22):  He was knighted.  I never really got into Sherlock Holmes, but the latest movie was homoerotic, which I find very cool.
  • Dylan, Bob (May 24):  I know I’m supposed to like him, but I really don’t.  I’m even fucking a guy who’s photographed him, but I still can’t get into ol’ Bob.
  • Edwards, John (June 10 or 20, depending on the source):  Politician.  “Cheater.”  I put “cheater” in quotes because his wife may have agreed.  Why can’t more people be open about not being monogamous?
  • Emerson, Ralph Waldo (May 25):  Poet and shit.  I know I’m supposed to know and care about this guy, but I really don’t.

[Continued.]

I swear.  True story.

To Be Expected

Posted on December 18, 2009

Today I got my new computer from a very cool, very generous guy.  Once I got it home and went Online I accessed Random Rim Jobs where the following comment to “Pussy!” was submitted:

I’ve been reading this blog for a good 4 months now (i think).. I’ve seen the face pictures you’ve posted, ive seen your tits, and ive seen the hot Twitter avatar you have. You know, the one that says “swallows” and happens to show off a pair of nice tits and a pretty thin waist.

Imagine my surprise when watching real sex on HBO, you looked old and not so hot… kind of goofy….and definitely about 45 pounds heavier than you appeared in the pictures previously shared.

so anyways.. .there IS a point to this comment. I’m being an asshole but not a *complete* asshole.

Do the guys you meet on Craigslist get a picture thats a little more…. truthful/revealing/less flattering than the ones you’ve shared here on the blog prior to actually meeting you?

If not I imagine some of them would be a little disappointed.

Charming, eh?  If I had read this last week, just after I spilled wine on my computer, I probably would have killed myself.  Really.

Now, I just wonder why some assface has so much time on his hands and what he thinks insulting me is going to accomplish.

And since my only response directly to him was to thank him for the material – I’d few ideas on what to post today – I’ve decided to respond to him in a more public forum.

Dear Charles (cman@mailinator.com):

Thank you for reading Random Rim Jobs.  I’m glad you’ve enjoyed what you’ve read and seen so far.  I hope you keep reading, as I do post something new every damn day.

Thank you so much for appreciating my ample breasts and proportionally small waist.  Both can probably be attributed to my mother’s side of the family, though my father doesn’t have any sisters so I don’t know how XX chromosomes would have expressed themselves given the chance.

I’m also glad you watched the episode of “Real Sex” in which I was in a segment.  Best of all, thank you for sharing with me your opinion of me.  There’s nothing a person likes more than to know some asshole she has no interest in meeting thinks she looks old, not so hot, goofy, and overweight.  I’m not quite sure what your intent was other than to make me feel bad.  What a small person you must be.

Assuming what you say is true – that I looked old, not so hot, kind of goofy, and heavier than I appeared in previously disclosed photos – so the fuck what?  I’m not going to go into all the bullshit about the camera adding ten pounds – since by your math I’d still be 35 pounds heavier than I should (?) be – or that the segment was filmed in high definition which clearly doesn’t mix well with either freckles or dark under eye circles, but I do wonder what you would look like in the same situation.

When you look down, or in the mirror, or into the face of someone who is looking at you, do you always like everything you see?  Do you wish this were better, or maybe that?  Do you want more of some things (yeah, I’m talking about cock length and girth here) and less of others (that gut isn’t so sexy, dear)?  Guess what, everyone feels like that.  We are our own worst critics; what you’ve felt the need to share with me is just a portion of the shit I think about myself all the time.

By the way, do you have any photos of yourself for the world to see?  Have you ever been on television?  I would appreciate the opportunity to assess you.  I can’t imagine you’d hold up all that well to scrutiny.

I do tend to post flattering photos of myself, which I think is understandable.  Why would I want to post shitty pictures of me?  I, however, have not posted the photos of myself I find most flattering because those are quite a few years old and do not accurately represent what I now look like.  And/or I make clear that they are particularly good photos of me, as in the second part of the story about Las Vegas.S in JR

For example, this is a fucking great photo of me.  I was 26.  I had just returned from my first trip to Thailand (“Smooth as Silk“) where it is hot and the food is good, but served in small portions.  I didn’t realize at the time how thin – for me, as I’ve never been truly thin – I was.  I would never post this photo as an accurate representation of me now.  Because it’s not.

Because I have disappointed guys upon first meeting them. Let me direct you to this which makes that ever so clear.  I’ve also pleasantly surprised men and women.  I know this because they’ve told me, and I’ve no reason to disbelieve them since they’ve told me so both before and after we’ve fucked.

The photo in “Bras” was taken on or after September 25, 2009.  The photo of my tits in the “swallows” t-shirt was taken some time in early 2009 I believe.  I have neither gained nor lost 45 pounds since early June 2009, when the “Real Sex” segment was filmed.

Some people like me, some don’t.  Many who have met me in person do like me, and find me sexy, and hot, and goofy in a good way, and looking probably my age – 36, the fact of which I’ve never hidden.  By the way, I’ll be 37 on May 30, 2010.  I was born in 1973.  I do not try to hide the fact that I have birthdays every fucking year, which you would know if you’d read “Happy Birthday.”

Yesterday I received a text from the woman the encounter of which I wrote about in “Pussy!,” the story to which you’ve commented.  She wants us to be fuck buddies.  I told her that made me very happy.  Her text response to me:

Not sure why you are so surprised.  You’re sexy as hell, very funny – easy to talk to, and great in bed … why wouldn’t I want to repeat? ;)

That’s an opinion that matters, that of a person who has actually met me.

You know how to contact me should you want to prove me wrong in my assumption that you are not a perfect physical specimen.  Your poor writing has already made clear that you are not a perfect intellectual one.

Sincerely,

Suzanne

P.S.:  Cman?  Really?  Lame.

Ms. Absinthe

Posted on June 17, 2009

We agreed to meet at Dolores Park.  I’d learned my lesson long before that people who post ads on Craig’s List are often flakes so I always prepare for no one to show up.  I often take Isis to Dolores Park anyway, so if she didn’t show the day wouldn’t be wasted.

I had responded to her ad in the Casual Encounters w4w section.  Her ad wasn’t long, but it was more interesting than the usual, “I have a boyfriend and want to explore my naughty bi side.”  She had a bottle of absinthe and wanted to share it, and possibly herself, with an interesting woman.

We met in the park and sat and chit-chatted while Isis ran around a bit.  We discovered we had attended two different schools at the same time, but had no clue the other existed until the meeting in the park.

She was hot.  Very much my type of woman: a bit dykey, thin but curvy, and with small, perky breasts.  She was obviously not wearing a bra that day in the park, and I loved seeing her nipples push up against the fabric of her halter top.

I lost my cell phone in the park that day.  I suspected some people who were sitting near us stole it so I confronted them.  They denied it, but not until after telling me, in Spanish, to suck their collective dick.  I was so proud that I knew that one phrase and told them so.  Despite my lame behavior she seemed to want to spend more time with me.

I walked back to my house with Isis while Ms. Absinthe drove to her place, conveniently located in Noe Valley, to get the bottle of absinthe she had advertised having.  Once at my house she poured us drinks.  Not only did we taste the delicious absinthe, but she gave me a lesson on why it’s drunk diluted with water, and what the clouding is called.  She was preparing to be the bartender at a prohibition-themed party and wanted to be able to do more than just pour so she was practicing on me.  She did an excellent job.

We got along quite well.  She kissed me.  I’m always surprised when a woman whom I find attractive is attracted to me.  It doesn’t come from a self-loathing place; I am simply not my type.

She had great breasts.  They were nice and little and soft with nipples that got hard in the most delicious way when I bit down on them.  I hadn’t done more than kiss a woman in over ten years and was worried about my performance.  She later assured me by email, “Actually, I’d say I had a rather nice fucking.  Thank you very much.”  So fucking cool.

We quickly began to spend all of our free time together.  As neither of us was employed, we had a lot of free time.  Also because neither of us was employed, we didn’t have any damn money to do anything much more than hang out at my house.

We watched “the L Word” together.  Cliché I know, but I watched the show anyway, not just because I was seeing a woman.

We cooked at my place several times a week.  She made me corned beef and cabbage, which I’d only had once before.  Together we made and froze what seemed like a gross of won tons.  We made a yummy gnocchi with meat sauce, all from scratch.  I made my beef short ribs and mashed potatoes for her brother when he was in town.  She took me to restaurants I’d never been before and was impressed when I liked chicken feet and all the pig parts.

Things became intense very quickly.  We had great sex.

Just a few weeks after we met, we took a trip to Orr Hot Springs.  Ms. Absinthe had a Mini Cooper and loved to drive.  She liked that I had no problem with her taking the windy roads of Mendocino County at a nice clip.  I thought it was sexy that she was a good driver.  Orr was really nice.  We stayed overnight in the yurt just outside the front gate.  There were private rooms with huge claw-foot tubs big enough for two.  The water was hot and mineral-rich.  From the main pool of the “resort” we could see daffodils in bloom all over the surrounding hillsides.

Before too long our relationship went from fun and light to Ms. Absinthe asking  “where we stand.”  I made it clear that I didn’t want a “real” relationship, and that there was NO way I was going to be monogamous, but that I really did dig her scene.

We continued to have hot, hot sex.  We took a couple of trips to Good Vibrations on Valencia to get supplies, including lube and gloves.  It had never occurred to me to have sex with gloves before Ms. Absinthe introduced the idea.  I now buy boxes of medical-grade nitrile gloves for use during sexy times.  They’re a whole lot of fun all lubed up.  Great for fisting.

Ms. Absinthe was the first person who fisted me.  And I was the first person she fisted.  They were intensely intimate experiences for both of us.  She wrote me a poem on the subject:

On your couch

I kiss your mouth
and slowly breathe you in.
Your teeth, lightly gnash against my skin.
You begin to tweak and twist my nipples until I gasp,
I find my way between your legs
grinding my hand onto your wet pussy
back and forth, up and down,
finally pressing in.
You bite harder, I push deeper.
My clenched fist
inside your cunt;
I can barely move.
You’re so fucking tight, and so fucking hot.
Your walls clamp down around my hand
I just want to punch right through.
Thrusting your pelvis higher; you’re telling me to fuck you harder, to fuck you faster,
to fuck you forever.
Your body undulating to your own rhythm,
I’m entranced by the sway of your hips, lulling me closer.
I can’t keep my eyes off your twisting shape.
Now I’m on top of you.
But I can’t get any deeper,
I can only fuck you desperately, fuck you faster.

Our sex life was not a problem. One of our trips to Good Vibrations resulted in the purchase of Tristan Taormino‘s  The Ultimate Guide to Anal Sex for Women 2nd Edition.  We read it together and utilized some of its many tips when we incorporated anal play into our sex.

As our sex life together was developing we discussed strap-ons.  Neither of us had any experience using a harness, but we were willing to try.  Further discussions resulted in us agreeing that she would pick out the harness that she felt most comfortable using, and I would pick out the big, thick cock with which I wanted her to fuck me.

We went to Good Vibrations … and chickened out.  The Good Vibrations on Valencia had roughly 15 feet of wall space devoted to various harnesses and the implements that can be put in them.  Here we were, two well-educated, adult, sex-positive women who really wanted to expand their sex lives, but even we were intimidated.

Because while Good Vibrations has an open, non-judgmental environment it does not have any privacy.  Ms. Absinthe would have had to try on any harnesses out there on the store floor; and I would have had to pick out a number of dildos for her to try on with each harness out there in the open.  We were not ashamed in any way of what we wanted to do, but not being ashamed does not equal wanting everyone in a store knowing what we’re planning on doing in private.

Nonetheless, our sex continued to evolve, and continued to be good.  Our relationship, however, wasn’t so good.

Ms. Absinthe kept wanting to talk about our feelings and what we wanted from each other.  I just wanted to hang out and have fun.  I was still trying to figure out what it meant to be a divorced woman in her mid-30s.  I was getting used to being single, but I wasn’t yet divorced.  Neither I nor the Ex had even bothered to file for divorce yet, though it was clear we would not be trying to reconcile.

Only Ms. Absinthe didn’t believe that the Ex and I weren’t trying to reunite.  Ms. Absinthe and the Ex met, and got along pretty well.  I think because she saw that he and I were civil (we had animals to co-parent after all) that that meant we should get back together.  She didn’t seem to believe me when I assured her there was no way he and I would ever get back together even if we were friendly with each other.

The words I said to Ms. Absinthe didn’t seem to get through to her.  She appeared to think I was being dishonest, or just wasn’t admitting everything to her.  However, I was nothing if not brutally honest.  Despite my assertions that I don’t make pronouncements lightly, she just didn’t seem to believe me when I said the Ex and I would never get together again and that I had no interest in being in a monogamous relationship.

To that end, I continued to fuck men when I could, and it was during this time I had the threesome with Mr. Zip and the 21-year-old booze hound.  I told Ms. Absinthe exactly what I was planning on doing that night and suggested she stay at her own place.  She opted to stay at my place, and was still up at 5am when I got home.  That was definitely troublesome.

Things were going bad, and fast.  She was at my place all the time, and I value my alone time, more than the average person, I think.  I began doing what I did when the Ex and I were living together and I needed to be alone in a loft apartment–I used ear buds and listened to podcasts whether home alone or not.  Pretty rude behavior when one has a house guest, but being at my house constantly was also rather rude of Ms. Absinthe.

She became needy, and our sex went from hot to me turning her down as often as I could get away with without generating a discussion.  I was a fucking bitch to her most of the time.  I really am shitty at breaking up when I know the relationship should end.  So I do the chickenshit move of cheating (on the Ex) or in some other way making the prospect of being with me miserable.  No, I am not proud of myself.

The last time we saw each other Ms. Absinthe picked up toothpaste she had left at my place after a trip to Costco.  She texted me a birthday wish soon thereafter.  My emails requesting friendship went unanswered.

I swear.  True story.
