I never had sleeping around days, I guess. Never figured out *how* to do it. I dunno. It's not like I'm opposed to the concept - hell, I'm allowed to - but the entire concept of picking up guys remains totally daunting and confusing to me. I feel like I stumbled into a pretty decent relationship through dumb luck.
Same here, minus the stumbling into a relationship part.

I do, I must say, sorta savor being able to tell stories from my *CRAZY PAST* or w/e. I was talking abt sex stuff to my friend at work the other day and I was all "Did I ever tell you abt the time I fucked a rabbi?" and she nearly shit herself.

A Rabbi?
Like... reform? Or modern orthodox? You get more points/respect from me the further up the theological chain you go.

i am doing a half decent job at slimming down, and growing out my stubble. then i am getting a tan and showing off my new haircut.

I've gained about 10 lbs since this summer. I'm okay with that.

but the entire concept of picking up guys remains totally daunting and confusing to me.
Me too until I have way too many drinks in me and I turn a corner and I'm suddenly starting conversations all over the place and evidently being good at breaking the ice in a way I normally am not.
Last night I went to the somewhat seedy Lucky H0r5h0e and talked to a bunch of Mexican and Guatemalan guys celebrating two birthdays. One of them - short and cute - asked to friend me on FB but I'm not sure he succeeded. I was like just take my phone number, but being a modern man, he doesn't like using the phone.
― Je55e, Monday, 30 January 2012 02:54 (twelve years ago) link
It's also far easier for me to start a conversation w/ a stranger in Spanish. Or when in a strange city. Maybe I feel more open when I'm out of my usual element or something.

picking up guys is somewhere between hello and a miracle, it's a fine line
― surm, Monday, 30 January 2012 03:32 (twelve years ago) link
My worst moment of which I a proudest is when I went up to the stranger in the bar and said, "Take me home with you," and he did. I reserve the right to brag about that, though I don't even consider it bragging since it was the booze talking, not me.

me and my straight best friend have ended up having really frank discussions about sexuality the past two nights
― lag∞n affiliated (The Reverend), Monday, 30 January 2012 08:19 (twelve years ago) link
what constitutes "really frank"?
[also, i enjoy v. much the construction of the phrase 'my straight best friend' insofar as it inverts all of the weird tokenism of the far too often heard phrase 'my gay best friend']

yea the 1-2 punch pickup can work real wonders jess
takes one to know one in those kinds of situations

Ha – I always had a frank sex/"relationship" chat with two of my best straight bros last night: prostates and such.

whoops: omit "always"
Chicken wings and beers helped with the sextalk.
As for my sex life, I've been dry for weeks, since before Xmas; thank god for my dromedary instincts.

I need to clean my bathroom tonight or tomorrow.
― Exile in lolville (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 30 January 2012 16:02 (twelve years ago) link
"clean"? is that a verb?
The sum of my linens are always either on the bed or in the laundry.

i went to brooklyn with my boyfriend and stayed in a hotel. the elevator in the hotel was lit with violet LEDs and had shitty dance music piped in. rave elevator, not so great. the rest of the trip was pretty awesome. fluffy king-sized bed, why can't you be mine??

i hate mattresses for being so expensive and ridiculous but when i go somewhere the bed is like one of the best things, even if it's a motel 6 or whatever. xp

two weeks before that :/

i have a pretty nice queen mattress at home but it is SUPER FIRM, just firm as anything, the firmest bed ever. mostly because my boyfriend can't deal with soft, squishy mattresses because they aggravate his back & joint issues, so when i get to sleep in a poofy plush mattress it is always a treat.

also donna the exhibit is only there until 2/12 ;_;

We saw this when we were in Brooklyn! And also brunched a little bit.

It was really quite excellent.
yeah! i bought the exhibition catalog too because obviously i needed more queer coffee table art books
