Screwed

I think the Stylist is screwing me over. Actually I know she is. The last time I saw her she admitted that she really wasn't shaving the back of my neck because she had been lazy. Not something you want to inform your client about. She did do it that day and informed me that the price had gone up. When I asked her what the price was she gave me the old price.

I use to be able to almost go 3 months on a hair cut. It's been slowly creeping down to 2 months. However I got a haircut before I first went out with D and that was 3/7 and I need another haircut. While I've been friends with the Stylist I think I'm going to pony up the $2 extra dollars and go to my other friends spa. At least that comes with a shampoo and stuff.

The Landlord and I would really like a psych profile on Phili. Talking to her is like being a kid again on the playground and each person's story is getting wilder and wilder. All the stuff she says, you know can't be possibly true, but you can't tell where reality ends and fantasy begins. We both think she's a nice person, but something happened along the way and did something to her we're just not quite sure what.

What Saturday Brings

I wonder if everything is hunky dory in Inverse's dating life? She took an interest in my life today which has been ignored for a week now. What's that sound? Is that the Jaw's theme song playing in the background? Only time will tell.

While I do take care of myself and the Model told me that there were no real problems with my skin which was nice to know. Some things just spring on me. One such thing is my hair. All of a sudden it needs to be cut. Actually I'm happy with what's on my head, but my neck is scruffy. So I'll stop by and see the Stylist before my date today.

My real reason to get my haircut is for the Diabetes function tonight. I'm feeling a little out of my league with this event since I know how much the tickets cost. From what I heard they're trying to fill seats. However I'm trying not to put the people there on a higher position than myself since that's not going to help me. The second problem with tonight is that I don't enjoy walking into a big room filled with people. I'm great one to one and small groups, but the more people I don't know the higher the anxiety.

Other than that it's a beautiful day out today. I stopped by and did my Mom's nails; got her some fresh air and sun. She was the same. It's funny how she'll talk to my brother on the phone better than she will with me.

The Funk-ometer

While I enjoy all the Singles events some an be weird. Like last night's game night. The Photographer and Tech girl are now good friends. So it's interesting to be sitting across from not 1, but 2 women you've dated. One that dumped you and one that you dumped. Let the festivities begin. While the Photographer and I have settled smoothly into friends mode. Tech girl and I have settled into something else. We definitely aren't into joking mode yet and it was weird for me to have her tapping my foot under the table. Here's a picture from last night. One is the Photographer and the other is the Stylist. You choose.

Over the last 24 hours I have done something novel. I've planned all my special events for a year in the office. My business coach instructed me that if it wasn't written in there it probably wouldn't happen. While the specific events haven't been chosen, the dates to do everything has been.


I was hoping to do a belly dancing event next month for my office, but nothing worked. So I used my singles event organizer hat to come up with next month's event. Since I push having down time for yourself I invited everyone to the wine and jazz event at the local art museum. I've done it with the singles many times and it's always fun.

B is for Bitch

Well today is day 2 of no contact with Eric (actually I we haven't talked since last Wednesday), but we catch up in the beginning of the week. This usually happens every few months when my ex gets a very large bug stuck way up her ass. At least there is a reason this time that I know of. Usually it's just a dice roll. I use to put trackers on all packages, but haven't done it in a while. Oh well I'll lie if the package mysteriously disappears which I wouldn't put pass her.

I had to make an appointment to see the Stylist today. My hair has been looking long, but I figured I just saw her. However I realized that we had talked about my breakup with the Planner and that was over 2 months ago. Yikes! So now I'm all clean cut for Tech girl tomorrow night. I'll text her in the morning telling that I'm looking forward to seeing her.

Tech girl will be the first girl in a long time that has black hair which I do like better than blond which is the majority of hair color down here. She has a different look than I usually go for, but she is highly touchy which I love. If you have ever read Gary Chapman's "The Five Love Languages" (highly recommended) I'm big with physical touch. Everything is good with me if I'm hugged, hand held, rubbed, touched, etc. Hey what can I say I'm easy.

Virginia Beach 23455

I talked to Eric today to find out how his Halloween was. You should of heard the sound in his voice at how much candy he must of collected. It was great. I was happy he fun and was able to go around with friends. I remember that from when I was young and it was a great feeling. Hopefully my ex won't all his candy on him.

Eric has moved on from Pokemon and Yu Gi Oh cards and onto Tops baseball cards. I was wondering if the day would come. Since I'm not a sports fan the previous two types were much more up my alley. So I'll start including baseball cards with my weekly letter.

When I first took over the organizer position of the Singles group I was dating Law girl. It was a move to take care of myself instead of catering to someone else which worked out well since she dumped me a few weeks later. I've always pushed it as an activities group instead of a dating pool although the Photographer is the third woman I've dated from our group. At times I feel like our group is becoming a Beverly Hills 90210. Never really watched the show, but my ex did. The thing that always stood out was the incestial like dating between them all. I bring this up since the first person I went out from the group was the Florist. She was a headcase and it was only one date.

Gameboy dated her for a while afterwards. Then afterwards dated the Stylist. Recently he started seeing the Photographer. It never really got off the ground because they didn't see each other that often. So the Photographer said last night that she needed to make sure the Gameboy knew it was over. I feel bad with this. I probably should feel good that I've been chosen over another, but I think its my low self esteem rearing its ugly head that I'm not worthy enough. It's all crap, but I need to say it all to make it go away.

OMG!

OMG I forgot how much I hate getting a hair cut when it's cold outside. Even the Stylist was surprised to see me since I was about 2 weeks early for my usual haircut. I figure I would preempt the shaggy look especially with my patient appreciation night and senior talk this coming week. Just like it rains as soon as you wash your car the the temperature has dropped here. Jeez I'm cold. I think I may need to buy one of those tall furry Russian hats to even out my body temperature.

Shake and a Haircut

I finally was able to get a haircut last night and it was long overdue. So I got to see the Stylist who I hadn't seen for a few months. We caught up on our dating lives and single's events. She was part of the original group that no longer exists. While I do miss the old faces it's nice to have many new faces at the events which has been my point. Getting more people involved instead of the same 10 people.

Game night last night had a slight monkey wrench in that they had a performer playing there. It was a hassle and we probably distracted him in his playing, but since we were the only ones there I didn't worry about it too much. The barrister there probably won't be working there for long. I ordered my soy chai latte and he made 2 since he said he couldn't just heat up 1 cup. Okay? Everyone else seems to do it, but I wasn't going to complain since I got a second one for free. He did that a few times last night. While I enjoyed my chai it was a little problematic falling asleep last night.

It was a fun crowd of new and old faces. It reminded me of why I enjoy the single's events so much.

Pretty Woman

For some reason I think the clock has started ticking for me with dating again. Not that I have anything going on right now, but as soon as a pretty woman comes into my circle I'm dropping into dating mode. While I'm reigning myself in, I'm still chatting. With Eric coming in a few weeks which is the first time he's been down here in 2 years I want to focus on him. Also the whole visit is going to cost more than I want with gas as high as it is. So watching finances is important.

I'm guessing this is all lust driven since a pretty face is catching me and not someones conversation. Although I have been thinking lately what I want in a woman. A conversation I had with my brother a few months ago has been playing in my mind. He'd said that with his second wife while they were good to each other they never could move up the ladder of prosperity (physical, emotional, spiritual, etc.). I remember that. They tried many things, businesses, etc and they never got off the ground. With my present SIL they have really done well. So I think back to my ex and what my marriage counselor said that I would never be able to prosper with her, that she would be an anchor around my neck. She was so right about that.

So in thinking about all the women I've dated I would say 1 maybe 2 would have fit the bill for that. Now in looking over the horizon I take this into account. While I'm very supportive of the people who are close to me I've rarely choosen people who can support me. So as I look over the present candidates I see good and bad.

The Stylist while I always look for her to be at an event and I think we'll be friends. I know that plane will never get off the ground and that it will be a one way street relationship. However there is something about her that I attach to.

I'm cautious to start anything up with the Banker since she is in my networking group and I don't like to play there. Although almost everyone is married in the group anyway. However she is upbeat, positive, and knows what goes into making things work. Hey for all I know she could already be seeing someone. It's good to think positive.

The Asian has something that attracts me, but I have no idea what. The smooth, creamy skin I know isn't hurting. She's has initiative with things, but demur personality wise. I'm not quite sure if it is ethical or what. It's quite the paradox.

However I'm not dating for now so I guess the point is moot for now.

Iron Man

I have to admit that my Mom is not remembering me as much when I see her. With gas prices as high as they are I only visit her once a week. She's just not that interactive these days. So the length between visits I think is beyond her. It does take her a while to remember me, although today I don't think she did. I knew she knew I was familiar, but not who I was. It's hard to parent your parent.

Anyway I had a event today to see Iron Man at the Commodore Theater. It's a great old theater with and awesome THX sound system and a big screen. Most everyone had never been there before so it was a fun experience. The Stylist and Bizarro got their way early. The rest of the group was outside waiting until Bizarro came out and got us. The box office was really anal about seating, but we were able to sit next to them so it worked out. I guess that's why it's important to follow instructions. I can't figure Bizarro out. He's talked like he wanted to run the group in the past, but I've never heard that from others. Also when people were asked to step up to the plate he didn't do it. He just might be really anal I don't know. However my instincts tell me he will be a thorn in my side.

The movie was great and I highly recommend it. Downey was born to play the role. Everyone (except Bizarro) had fun and thanked me for scheduling so many events. The new guy told me I had the most active group out there. That was nice to hear especially since I'm still doing it by myself.


The great thing is that Indiana Jones and Batman are going to be there. So I know there are 2 events right there. Now I just need to find out where Speed Racer is playing.


The truly funny thing is that I've done a lot of online dating this year and through all of that I never received one real email from any women. I'm out of dating one week and one of my profiles must still be active and I got not one, but two emails from interested women. WTF? It's Murphy's Law. Neither one was what I was looking for and I'm happy being single at the moment.

Gimme Three Steps Mister

So after Happy Hour I dropped the Stylist by her car since she was in a different garage a few blocks away. Don't want anything to happen to anyone. She's a fun person and I'll always be happy to see her, but she's not a match for me.

When I got on the highway I called Red to see how she was doing since I knew she had a busy day and had a wedding to go to Saturday. She invited me over to a friend's house. A small party was going on and I got to meet a lot of interesting people. It was nice to have a woman on my arm again.

Then I got my ticket to the Twilight Zone. Red turned on the heat sexually and I wasn't complaining since it's been a year since I broke up with L. However I was never a one night stand type of guy. So while some kissing and groping in the corners was fun I really need an emotional connection for it to do anything for me. It's just the way I am. I guess I can't change certain parts of me.

So anyway like I said I met many interesting people throughout the night. One was this guy that Red who joke with or make snide remarks at. Whatever. Anyway he leaves and they have words over by the door. She comes back and plops next to me to tell me that was her husband. WTF! Let me say that again. WTF!

Red goes on to tell me they're separated and live in separate bedrooms. Okay how the fuck do I get out of her without being shot. I think I need a break from dating for a while.

Dating Playbill

I was talking to a friend yesterday and they asked how dating was going. ROFLMAO! So I had to write out the list to make sure I didn't forget anyone. So I figured I'd post it here with 2 new ones. Hey you need to keep up.

Charming - we emailed, talked, know each other from the singles group. We plan to go out. 3 hours before hand she text me that her son is sick and cancels. She tells me she will call me later. Nothing.

Tax Girl - CPA very hyped to go out, but no way she can find the time before the 15th. Understood since I have friends that are CPA's and I know there going crazy. After the 15th - nothing.

Army Girl - explosives expert in the army. Yes I know I can pick them. We've been using ever form of communication for about a week and half now. However like Army girl will say a lot. Army life kills her relationships. We still haven't been able together since her schedule has been so erratic.

Stylist - I met at one of my single's events. I was more focused on Charming to really feel her out. She emailed me and we chatted a little. However I got to talk to her last night somewhat. Attractive, but I don't think it's a match.

VP - VP of the biggest east coast shipping co. We talked a little while and I mean a few minutes before she asked for my email address and sent me explicit pictures of herself. I joked about having to tie her up to be good. She made a comment about not being that type of girl and that was that. LMAO it was like a comedy show.

Sweet - just started talking to and we'll see how it goes. She had to run and we never finished talking. Maybe today.

Red - We chatted some last night. She hoped we could get together tonight, but I have Happy Hour. She has a wedding tomorrow so we're getting together Sunday. OMG an actual date.

So that was my last 2 weeks.

I Love it When a Plan Comes Together

Game night was a big success. Pretty much everyone came that said they would so that was 16 people. We used every wooden chair up in Starbucks. Charming didn't show. I got to meet a lot of great new people and see old friends. The Florist showed up in here usual breasts hanging out outfit. I swear she has a closet full of these tops, but hey I guess it is a singles event. I was looking forward to seeing the Stylist. I met her at comedy improv, but I was focused more on Charming. So I got to know her a little better last night. She's attractive, but I don't think a match. Anyway the night was so awesome we decided to so it twice a month. One person offered their house so that should make it better.

So we played Scruples, Blurt. and What's Mind Like. All fun games. The games really helped give flavor to everyone to see what their like. Mazda would probably sell his mother to cannibals for $2, I have little shame and have sex in strange places, etc.

I started talking to the VP yesterday. Yes you do need a playbill to keep up. After a few minutes she sent me some very explicit pictures of herself (Hey I wasn't complaining). I made some comment about tying her up to keep her good. For some reason she took offense at that. Like Woody Allen said, "how could I miss read those signs?"
