Tonight I put up a photo of Us in my apartment. I took the one of me and The Canadian out of the frame. On any other occasion I would have hid that photo away, but this time I tore it up.
That relationship was broken and now, so is the memory.
It's a new Us from now on.
It's the holidays and this year I actually have holiday conflicts. Usually the default is to go home and spend it with my family. Now He's a major player. It's too soon to introduce Him to the folks. I've never introduced any of my boyfriends to my family before, so for me to do that...well, it really means something.
Thanksgiving I'm spending with Him. It just turned out that way. I was planning on going home for Thursday and Friday, but I booked another laser facial Friday. The plan is to spend Wed-Thurs-part of Friday with Him, and head home to recover at home with my parents after the procedure.
We've started talking about our Winter Holiday plans. Not sure what we're doing, but we've thrown around options. Go north again and venture into Napa. Go south and explore my hometown and eat carne asada fries. Or...
Go to Vegas...
Return to the scene of the cryme? I shudder internally at the thought, but wouldn't that be sweet justice and redemption for last year? Of course He doesn't know about the Canadian. He doesn't know the details about any of the dates I've been on. I'd rather keep it that way.
I'd rather forget it ever happened.
So, maybe I do need to do Vegas. For closure. To wipe that city clean (so to speak) for me. What do you think?
Otherwise my vote is for San Diego so I can eat carne asada fries everyday.
This weekend He and I are taking our first trip together. We're going to San Fransisco to visit His best friend. He considers His best friend His family; He's not close to His mother or sister. I'm very excited to see the city that He loves. Hopefully I can get over this cold by then.
I was thinking the other day how relieved I am in a way to not have to date anymore. Technically I stopped serial dating two years ago, but I'm so glad to not have to go through all that nonsense. Like this Improv Dating Scene event, or all the Meetup events I signed up for last year. Who needs 'em!?
My advice after all my dating adventures - don't do it.
Forget the sites, speed dating, cruises. It might work for a select few, but the averages don't measure up. Go out and enjoy your single life. Enjoy pure, true freedom with yourself. A relationship, even though it can be wonderfully, wonderful, is also another form of baggage.
Release yourselves!
Tuesday afternoon I dropped my new best friend at the airport. She's moving back East. This morning I dropped Him off as he and 39 other guys will be bicycling from SF to Redondo over the next 5 days. I'm so proud of Him, but I really miss Him.
In His absence I am determined to do the following - work out, clean my apartment, clean His apartment (boys are dirty), do laundry. I have plans mostly all day Saturday. I'd really like to rest since I've been out doing "farewell new best friend" activities for the past 2 weeks. I'm pooped!
Today I just wanted to stay home and sleep. But I came into work, I'm getting stuff done and I'm eating pizza (a counter measure for my big workout at home tonight).
I hope everyone's doing well. Sorry my dating updates are boring.
MEN-SI-VER-SA-RY (m n se-v r se-r ) noun
1. The monthly recurring date of a past event, especially one of
historical, national, or personal importance: a first date
mensiversary; the mensiversary of the founding of Nerstone Pictures.
2. A celebration commemorating such a date.
from Latin: mensis, month + versus, past participle of vertere, to turn.
Well, it's been one month official. I wouldn't normally celebrate something so soon. Talk to me on month 4 and I'll let you know if we're getting somewhere. It seems important to Him though and we're going out for a secret dinner tonight.
He's also making me fat, we're going out to eat so much.
He's still crazy about me and I adore being with Him as much as I can. Who knew this could be possible?
Last night had a fancy dinner with Him since it's dineLA week. I treated Him which shows that He doesn't need to be the one to "take care" of me all the time. I can finally say, "We're even."
During dinner He asked me to save the date of the 26th open. Sure, but what is that da...ooh.
Our one-month of being...official.
The BFF and his BF were here over the weekend to see the fabulous Kylie Minogue in concert at the Hollywood Bowl. It's her first time touring the States. She was spectacular. On par with Madonna. I'd love to see her in a larger venue next time.
The entire weekend I was away from my...boyfriend. It's so weird to say/type that. I haven't had an official real boyfriend for 3 yrs and to suddenly be in a healthy relationship...it's just strange. Life can change so suddenly. It feels really good to be with someone who really wants to be with me and there's no hang ups, issues, or emotional baggage.
Everyday I find it harder and harder to go without seeing Him. I'm trying to keep a balance though. I've had too many friends just lose themselves completely once they got into a relationship. I still want to be myself and have my life. I want to incorporate Him into my life, not let Him become my life.
Hi. I've been out clubbing with a bunch of hot, gay men. That's why posts have been scarce. I'll return to my Singles Cruise report soon, but right now I have to get this off my chest.
My ex CG, the guy who was the catalyst for this blog, moved to Portland. I found out by cyber spying on his Facebook page. I'm not sure how I feel about it. No, that's not true. I feel relieved that there is no possibility in ever running into him in LA. I'm sad because we still can't be friends even though he's leaving LA now. He's probably still working for the same company where we met, and as my leaving that company wasn't amicable and one of the reasons for our breakup, I don't want to bring any drama into his life or welcome any drama from my ex-boss into mine.
And so we move on.
Finally, I think I've lost weight. My new diet is lots of alcohal and dancing in hot, gay clubs until the place shuts down. Do that about 3-4 times a week and you'll be a skinny bitch.
A little more than a week before my cruise. I'm not mentally prepared. I think I'll wait for the last minute to get everything ready.
I've been feeling nostalgic lately for all things Ex - ex-boyfriends, ex-lovers, ex-dates, ex-friends. I want to share my moments of psycho, so you know that you're not alone (you know who you are). Let's talk about cyber spying on social networks.
My gripe with social networks is that your info is out there for anyone to see (that is if you don't set the right privacy settings) and anyone keep up to date with your happenings. However, the ignorance in privacy settings can work to your advantage when checking up on people from the past.
Recently, I've been curious about the status of one ex-bf. I'm not in the habit of being friends with any of my exes, but I'll write a post about why later. To satisfy my curiosity, I searched him on Facebook. Since we're in the same network (Los Angeles) I was able to look at his profile. He's still single (or so he says). From his profile photos I can tell that he's moved to a new apartment. He still has his cat, and he looks exactly the same.
Next, I checked in on a certain ex-lover-jackass. He's not on Facebook (I searched and searched), but he is on LinkedIn, the social network site for career building. He just started working for a new company on the westside of LA. That means he's probably still living in the westside and he's still a jackass.
Finally, I was curious about what FWC was doing. People at work ask me if I talk to him and, to their disappointment, I tell them I don't speak to him anymore. From another co-worker who is in touch with FWC, it seems like he's still out of work, but spending his time on his many pet projects. I checked out his YouTube page to see if FWC made any new, stupid music videos (FWC thinks he's a rapper).
So, being fully aware that these same people could be looking me up on any said social networks, I made sure that my privacy settings were such to allow only information I wanted them to see. Example, put up the most flattering, sexy, "I bet you wish you were still with me" photo as your Facebook profile picture. Hide everything you don't want them to see. Share everything you do want them to see.
I can't believe I forgot to tell you this. While the Irishman and I were at lunch we ran into my ex CG. He was sitting in the table next to us with some girl, his girlfriend I suppose. I completely freaked out...on the inside. I couldn't believe I could run into him of all places after all this time. And he swore to me during the break up that he wasn't going to be dating for a long time. All breakup bullshit, yes I know.
Then he got up, to go to the restroom I guess. And then he came back and I got a good look at him.
It wasn't him.
