Well, I got him for tonight, anyway. Remember a few months back, I was hanging almost every Friday with one of my riding buddies? Well, he's usually got Friday nights off, but not tonight. We were going to ride and get some dinner after work, but since he works later, it'll be just dinner.
That's fine with me. Been wanting to hang with him again, and it's nice that we get to do that tonight.
The rest of the gang is planning some kind of after-work activity somewhere in town. I guess, depending where we end up for dinner tonight, we may or may not join up with them. Though ... I selfishly want to have him all to myself.
Yes, I still like him ... just a little bit. He's great company, always lots of fun ... playing around and joking like we've been friends forever. He likes me, too, but there's that one factor that we ride together. Kind of makes anything more than friends "off limits." No biggie ... I still enjoy his company, and flirting is always fun. Not to mention, he's still seeing someone. YIKES!
Anyway ... work is almost done. I absolutely can't wait until I can all it quits for today! But, before I go, I want to share a little story that just popped into my head ...
Last night, just after I got home, I get a text from Asshat-penis guy. You know, the one that sent me a picture of his junk after knowing each other for less than 20 minutes?? Yeah, him.
So, his text reads "wine under the full moon on the beach?" Sounds nice, right? So, that's the reply I sent. Apparently, dude thought we had made plans for the night, and was wondering when I would show up. I text my apologies since I wasn't going to make it. No sitter since I wasn't planning on going out with him in the first place.
Don't get me wrong, dude is HOT and he's got a really nice voice, but I CAN'T STAND him. He's got this winner of a PUSHY personality and it makes me want to strangle him. He's impatient and persistent as hell. After getting upset with me because I didn't tell him earlier that I couldn't make it for the night, he calls me. I mean, WTF?? I don't want to talk to this guy, yet he calls several times in a row. Then leaves a looooong-winded message about how he was trying to figure out what happened to make our night a bust, AND about how he knows he's the "asshole" in the situation. Well, to me, if you know you're being the asshole, STOP calling me!
I was SO close to blocking his number.
So, I get to work this morning, and guess who calls ... then texts?? Yup, Asshat-penis guy! If we ever do meet, it will be interesting to see if he can turn my bad impression of him into a good one. Good luck with that!
Now, I'm off! Dinner and some good company. Later ... xoxo

Coming to you live ...
From the bus. Yeah, that's right readers ... good ole public transportation!
Hopefully, I can secure a bike ride to AND from work tomorrow.
Ehhhh ....
One before I go ...
One post before I leave work, that is. Yes, the mini vacation is over and I'm back in the office. It was a wonderful Christmas and B got everything she wanted! I even got some really great and unexpected gifts as well. Ready to ring in the New Year.
Glad we're all still here for it.
Anyway, just after my last post, I have to tell you all that I met someone new. HAHA .... yeah. It's not like that, just friends, but it's pretty funny how we met.
Last Friday, the 21st was a bike night. Last one of the year. Though, the weather had been bad all week, so it was super iffy for the bike cruise. My friend that's in charge of the cruise had been away visiting family, but kept checking on the weather for our night. Text messages, fb messages, postings on the invite page were going back and forth, back and forth to see if the cruise was on or not. I, myself had not decided to ride until just a couple hours before the scheduled meet up. My ride hadn't been sure either until the night before, so we made a tentative plan to meet at his place in town, and then go from there.
Just as I was about to get ready, I check the invite page on fb again. CANCELLED! One of my friends in charge posted that the ride was off due to heavy winds and wet roads.
Aww ... But, wait! Just before that message, I had a comment posted on my "...is going" post. I read it and it's from a guy that I don't recall meeting at any of the bike nights. He asks when I was leaving ... like we were good, old friends. So, I reply "in about an hour." He seemed harmless and I thought I HAD met him before at one of the rides. SO, I get an instant message, and it's him. Let's call him J.
We chat for a bit, talking about how iffy the ride is and wondered if it was going on or not. So, right after it was cancelled, I get a text from my friend that cancelled the ride. "Some of us are still going to ride if you're down." I think, hell yeah! So, I tell J that it's on and we should get ready. I ask for a ride, since I found out that he lives about a minute away. He agrees and gives me directions to his house.
Now, I don't remember meeting this guy ... and I'm not even sure if I ever did. But, he rides with my friends, so I figure I'd chance it.
Glad I did. He's a really cool, fun guy and he's a very experienced rider. I was instantly comfortable on the back of his bike and we've been talking and getting to know each other since last Friday. For me, it's on a "just friends" basis. I think it is for him, too. Though, he has been trying to hang out with me every night since then. I think that's cute.
He gave me a ride to work this morning, and when he returns from his trip in a few weeks ... I'll get to go on a Saturday ride!! First time and I'm stoked! Turns, turns, turns!!
So much more to write about, but I need to get home ... later, readers.
Glad we're all still here for it.

Observations and ventilations ...
I've been noticing over the past few weeks all the new "couplings" that have been happening around me. Is it because of the holidays? Because we feel the need to cozy up to someone during this special time of the year?
I don't know what it is, but I am definitely NOT a part of these "couplings." Maybe that's why I'm noticing them so much. I mean, not ALL my friends are in couples, but it sure seems like A LOT of them are .... on fb. Fb is not my friend right now. Feelings of loneliness are setting in since I have no special guy in my life. So many friends' profile picture is of them and their significant other. Sigh.
Some, rather all, just don't realize how it affects some of us. I mean, I'm happy for those who have found someone to co-exist with. Just a little frustrating for me since I want that so bad. I'm trying not to dwell on this stuff and just enjoy my time with B, family and friends. And, if I just stay away from fb, I'll return to my normal, happy-go-lucky self. That's what I'll do.
The next 5 days are a mini vacation for me. Though, I'm not going anywhere, I'll be spending some good quality time with B. Friends and family, too. And, of course, it's Christmas next week, so it'll be a busy mini vacation!
So, I'll end here. There's been a lot on my mind in the past week, just no time to post them. I hope to get some writing done here over the next few days. Goodnight, readers ... xoxo

Another Sign ...
Updating some old files at work today, I come across a real estate transaction matter from a few years ago. I notice that the firm I used to work with was involved in this matter. I look at the dates and, yup, I was at the firm during that time.
And, at the same time, HE was there, too. I'm talking about the guy in my last post. So, I think, he probably reviewed a lot of these docs .... as well as I. I don't really remember this case, but it's passed through my hands a few times.
Sign.
I know, it sounds crazy, but the signs are getting clearer and very hard to ignore. I'm thinking that if I sit back and observe, the signs will keep coming until I'm bothered so much that I need to take action.
But, it seems that fate is telling me something. Take the action? Make something happen? I know where he is, but it's just not in me to go over there, and start something. When we knew each other a few years ago, it would have been easy. But, it wasn't the right time. Now, I feel like fate is telling me our time might be coming. Sooner rather than later.
Great. Sigh. I don't know if I'm ready for this.

Signs, thoughts and ramblings of my mind
I haven't thought about it in a very long time, but lately ... something, rather someone, has been on my mind more often than not.
No, I'm not talking about motorcycle guy. No ... someone I used to work with a few years ago. Since we both left the firm we were at, I've seen him a handful of times throughout the last couple years.
Now, one of my good friends works with him downtown. And, when she first started at that company, I had a thought that maybe he's supposed to be in my life ... still. She lets me know when she sees him around the nightlife in town and always invites me. But, I never go.
I never go. That was before. But, now ... curiosity is striking again, and I'm taking notice of signs pointing his way.
It couldn't come at a worse time. But, that's kind of the effect this guy has. When I'm finally getting comfortable with someone new, he pops up in my life. I thought I was over it ... I thought I had finally accepted the fact that I'll never know what it's like to be with him. But, in the last few weeks, there have been pretty clear signs that it isn't over yet. I've tried to ignore them, but this last sign makes me think that something with him is meant to be.
So, if he's really meant to be in my life, still, I can't just ignore it. There's nothing worse than wondering what might have happened if I had just given it, given him a chance.
In my book that I'm currently writing, the main male character is modeled after this guy. One of the reasons it's been hard for me to finish this book is because it takes me back to the days that he and I had subtly flirtatious fun. The days when I knew he wanted me. Now, when I do run into him, it's kind of amazing at how I feel the same vibes I felt when we knew each other on a daily basis.
Trying not to think about it too much, as I do have a lot on my mind at the moment. It's the holidays and there are many school activities with B, Christmas shopping and gift wrapping, coordinating projects and our Christmas luncheon at work AND, making time for a social life. It's all so complicated and hectic at this time of year. But, I wouldn't have it any other way. And, tomorrow, B and I will be heading out to Podium to watch some of the Moto Krew have some fun racing. I'm gonna bring my gear, but I don't plan on racing since I'll have B with me. Plus, I've never been so it will be nice to check it out for another racing experience.
I'll be back later with another post. More ramblings for another day ....

Tenchi, I miss you!
Browsing through my Hulu+ queue, I realized how much I miss the Japanese cartoon, Tenchi Muyo. The original. Hulu+ has a season of Tenchi, but it's one of the newer episodes. They look good, but it's making me miss watching the old Tenchi Muyo.
So, I am on the hunt to find the dvd collection. Sure, I bet I could find episodes on Youtube or something, but it's just not the same. I'd like to be able to throw on an episode whenever I want. Haven't checked Netflix yet, but even if it was on Netflix, I'd still like the dvd's.
I must be on a roll, because I found another anime cartoon that I love! Eureka Seven ... I remember watching this one years ago, late at night on cartoon network. This show always confuses me. I think it's because I've never seen it from the very beginning. I'd like to find the dvd set for this show, too.
It's Sunday and tonight is the mid-season finale on the Walking Dead. Excited! And, I may even get to watch it with C tonight. In person ... even better.
xoxo
