I started off the day by buzzing most of my hair off. Didn’t do too bad a job. Ro called, to say he had stuff to do in the city, so work later in the day. No prob. Hang out, fooling around on simon’s laptop. Eventually, I played a game of wc3 with Simon’s Brother Jake against two easy computers. We got trashed. Walked to Ro’s. Met him at corner while he was parking. Talked about my transcontinental biking plan, and a possible reasonable amendment to it, wherein I stop off at various intentional living communities on the way (as well as with friends and families). Exploring alternative living structures. Maybe I could even write a book. Hm…. =)
Lunch blehs. Not much on euclid that’s doing it for me these days. Need to find something new there. Or, more sensibly, need to cook stuff before hand. I’ll get up early tomorrow, and cook lentil stew, yeah, that’s the ticket, lentil stew.
Slogged through more work stuff. The insights I gained working on it on Saturday (by myself, in, admittedly, a not terribly structured sort of way) appear to have collapsed into mush. Insert noises of whiny frustration here. But still progress was made.
Back to my place, hooked Ro up with lj. Power cord from Tom finally arrived. Stupid UPS, YAY TOM! I have my clunky old laptop back online. No more work today. Bad me. <duck head in shame>. Nap on couch. Off to the clinic to get info on another training for me and Jason.
Afterwards, I headed off to the YMCA w/ Ro, who bought me a membership (I owe him half. He’s treating this like an employment benefit). Yay Ro. Worked out separately for a couple hours. Then we went off to the White Horse. Karaoke night. Lots of the younger GMHC medics were there. Lots of other pretty guys too.
I’m generally awkward in bars, and bad about approaching people. While at the bar, though, it seemed I kept ending up chatting with Ro.
Tomorrow, my plans are for much work and a trip to see the Two Towers with da roomies, and some friends. When informed of this plan, Ro was interested. Which is cool, hooked him up with the info.
I like Ro. He’s a great guy. His presence has had a big influence on my life out here. I like spending time with him, we have alot in common, and we have great communication. But I need to spend time with other people. And neither of our romantic lives are prospering at present. <shrug>.
Social initiative, from me, that’ll happen.
Is that a bird? A plane? Why, no, it’s a pig!
i hesitate to ask, but, why not give it a shot with ro? you would be a cute couple.
Other than the fact that I’d kill him in his sleep? 😉
He claims a lack of sexual attraction to me, and a belief that our sexual and romantic compatability is err, lacking. I think Ro is very pretty, but the compatability questions are, well, an issue. Doesn’t feel right.
Though there has been teasing from clinic members. In fact, over the after shift dinner on Sunday, the medic whose party I missed started off teasing us about how couple like we were. At some point during the evening, he amended his comments to “okay, maybe you’re not a couple yet, but you will be.”
It’s a fun game to play, but I think the reality of it would be very different. I want someone a little more touchy/feely supportive by nature than Ro seems to be.
