SO not my damn day

OK, so first off, I broke my damn phone last night. Yeah, the new $350 one. Piss me off. At least its just the screen. So THEN, I go to bed at midnight like a good girl (cuz I have a ton of work today), figure I'll be all well rested woot woot. 4am rolls around and I wake up with killer cramps from hell. Cuz ya know it just isn't enough that my ovaries make me a second class citizen, they have to make me hurt too. To the kitchen I go, down 4 Ibuprofen and play a rousing game of Its 4am Do You Know Where Your Heating Pad Is? Of course the answers no. But I have one o those little microwavable thingies, so all good right? MM yeah. Throw the microwavable thingy in, punch in 3 minutes and plop my ass on the couch to wait. Minute and a half later I hear a pop. Blew the microwavable thingy right the hell up. Figure fuck it, at least its hot, wrap the whole damn thing in a plastic bag to avoid 3rd degree burns from the molten lava like substance oozing from it, wrap a towel around that and go the hell back to bed. But of course not to sleep. Cuz these aren't your avaerage owie run o the mill cramps. These are CRAMPS. With fangs and claws and all manner of horrifying pain causing impliments. Finally get back to sleep aroung 5:30, only to be awakened by the damned alarm at 6. Not gonna happen. Snooze. Buzz. Um, no. Snooze. Buzz. Holy fuck I'm gonna be late. Run around, get ready and speed to work. Assuming the nightmare is over. Gather my trusty coffee cup and mosey back to the kitchen cuz I have a caffiene jones the size of Texas and THE FUCKIN POT IS BROKE. In conclusion- broken phone, no sleep, no coffee and cramps. Life is just fuckin wonderful.

Only cus its Jasper's meme

TMI ALERT! Only doin this one cuz its Jasper's, from the Pheonix.

The basic question is What do you want (sexually) and how do you know you want it? Answer both parts of the question for each of the following five permutations:

1. Something you want A LOT right now.
I want the intense, don't want to get out of bed, exhaust each other, sleep, wake and start over kind of sex. The kind where ya look at her and EVERYTHINGS right in the world. And what isn't right just doesn't count. How do I know thats what I want? Cuz thats what I dream about before I go to sleep.

2. Something you wanted in the past but don't want, or don't want as much anymore.
Casual sex. I thought I could fill the emotional void with my friends and just hook up for the sex part. Doesn't work. Not for me. (though my friends rock. Hard.)

3. Something you don't want now but could forsee yourself wanting in the future.
Again with the casual sex. I'm over it for now, but gimme another few months single, I'd prolly go there again.

4. Something you want but are pretty sure you can't have, or it would be really hard to get.
Angelina Jolie. Heh. How do I know I want her? Watch Foxfire. You'll get it. (unless you're Rach)

5. Something you want and are pretty sure you CAN have, or it would be really easy to get.
Something I want and think I can have? OK, well, me. lol. I have me lots. Other than that, I'd have to say Karen, the new crush. I dig her and do think I can get her, just gonna take a lil time. But I am patient. Oh yes. I am patient. As to how I know I want her (as opposed to wanting to do her, which is part but not all o the package)- well, she grabbed me and I didn't mack on her. I was perfect litttle gentlewoman. Which, if ya notice, doesn't happen all that often. So yeah. there ya go.

This explains soooooooo much.

Weekend Update

Friday was pretty rockin. Did a whole lot o nothing all day. Eth came over round 4 and we headed to Jiggers to meet Carl, a former coworker of mine and current coworker of Eth's. It was cool to see him. And this time he didn't freak me out with a big massive bear hug when we left, so that was cool. All hail sobriety!

After Jiggers, me and Eth headed back to my place for a pre outing nap. Stevo came over, we all got pretty and headed to Donny's. Got there around 9:30. It was dead of course, so we headed upstairs and chatted with the bartenders. Did a couple shots. Drank a couple cocktails. You know, the usual. Kev and Karen showed up around 10:30ish. The evening got a bit more interesting after that. Here's the deal- Karen is Kev's bestest friend. They've known each other since like 5th grade. So, of course, Karen and I have met quite a few times. I always thought she was kinda cute (well, ok, she's a hottie), but she like NEVER talked to me. Ever. So, of course, I write her off as being a stuck up bitch. And besides, she had a girlfriend, so who cared anyways. Fast forward to Friday. We're all hangin out, chattin and such. Karen actually speaks, which floors me a bit. Till I realize she's shy. And still a hottie. And now single. Which adds up to a whole different scenerio. So Kevin, being Kevin, is chattin up 3 girls I've never seen before, leaving me Eth and Stevo to entertain Karen. We're all chatting and I think I'm getting just the slightest little flirty vibe. The real subtle kind. Eye contact just a second longer than necessary, accidentally brushing up against me, that kinda thing. I return in kind cuz ya know, I dig that stuff. Fast forward a bit- Kev has gone downstairs with his newfound friends, Eth and Stevo are in there own little world, and I am doing my damndest to be witty and charming. Still not entirely sure that I'm being flirted with, cuz thats the beauty of the subtle flirt. You're never sure. So I ask her to dance, figure that'll give me some insight. So we hit the dance floor, and ayup, definate flirting. None o the gropy grabby mackin stuff, just a little close dancing and lots of major eye contact. So, yeah. That was nice.

The boys all wanted to go to Pegs, so off we went. Karen opted not to go despite my best efforts to change her mind. Pegs was way too packed and we were over it, so we downed our drinks and headed home. After the obligatory Sheetz stop of course.

Saturday was more with the rockin. Woke up at 8am (can ya believe it?). Tried to go back to sleep but no luck, so just got up and got ready for the homo festivities. For those of you not in the know, Saturday was Pittsburgh Pride. Woot! Met the girls at 10:30 and we headed downtown. Kev met us there and we went to watch the parade. Which in my opinion was pretty damn cool. Bigger than I expected anyways. I ran out of film halfway through. (pics shall be posted as soon as I get em developed). So, anyways, yep, cool parade. The highlight was having "PINK TACO" screamed at me by one of the marchers. (Pink Taco being our trivia team at Images. She wasn't a fan of my pink taco. as far as I know. lol)

The fest itself was also cool, but got boring pretty damn quick. I mean we were stuck there from like noon and the game didn't start until 7. So, yeah, bored in a big way. Went back to the cars and started tailgating around 4:30. Got tipsy, BS'd and had dinner (compliments of grillmaster Smouse). Went into the game and stayed about 10 whole minutes. Me and Kev booked it halfway through the 1st inning. Was gonna nap and hit Donny's Sat night, but said fuck it and stayed home.

Sunday was aight. Dad's day, then pool and drinks at Donnys with Kev. At which time he confirmed that Karen is indeed attracted to me, which freaked me out for reasons yet unknown. I'll get back to ya if I figure it out, lol.
