Dear Sillies,
I confess, I've been holding out. Well, not true. Err, I'm not spreading it. Info, that is. I haven't kept you satisfied, not at all. I'm so sorry.
Truth is I've been on a nice long break from celibacy. Not because of a man, though. Because of several men. Not at once. Promise, but that's a nice thought. How caring of you!
I didn't want to write about any of it. It's hard. Well, not that hard, hard enough. You know? Oy. Lemme just tell you about Huey.
The damn "shelter in place" had been going on for about half a year. Loneliness spiked. So I went to a comedy show, where I, well, performed, and was invited to a party afterward.
The man who invited me is a hysterical comic who's very suave and hot.
"I don't do drugs or drink at all," I told Hottie.
Hottie replied "It doesn't matter, Robyn" and gave me the details.
There I sat in the midst of a hallucinating drug trip, sober. The crowd was kind and respectful of my--ahem--puritan ways.
A man to my right, someone from that circuit who'd intrigued me, struck up discourse about how comedy's a remedy for depression.
He enticed me with his sincerity and warm smile. His belly's huge, and I picked up on a sweet innocence about him (despite the fact that he and everyone but me was drugged out). We'll call him Huey.
"Hey, what's your situation, pretty lady?"
I told Huey it was my first fun night since pre-COVID and I'm single. He stroked my arm as we talked. It felt nice. Human touch -- sigh. It'd been too long. I reciprocated.
Huey moved in for a kiss, and then more kissing. That felt nicer.
Partiers came in and out of the room: "You guys are cute!" "You can go outside for privacy" "Good stuff, huh? I see it's working!" A bit awkward, but I'm a fan of that molly thing. (Never did any drugs or smoking whatsoever. I swear, but I did drink a lot of girlie drinks back in the day, and I do swear like a drunken sailor lost at sea.)
Huey messaged me the next morn: "so sorry for last night hope I didn't make you feel bad."
to be continued...
Ugh! You can't leave me hangin' like that! I live vicariously through you and it's been a LONG, LONG, LOOOOOOOONG dry spell for me. **SIGH** Ok, ok, I'll wait. :)
ReplyDeleteOh girlfriend, I'm sorry. It's weird. Most of my life has been a long, long, looooong dry spell. But the pandemic has been good for me in that way. Point being, you never know.
DeleteHugs.
Damnit. I really, really hate being left hanging. But I am very glad that you have been getting a bit.
ReplyDeleteSmiles. Thank you, EC. That I have.
DeleteThere is a lot of pent up affection waiting to break loose after this year. Glad you are able to express it with someone. If that is where this goes. Are you going to make us wait a whole week??
ReplyDeleteI probably will, Jono. I mean, I waited months and often years on end.
DeleteTake care, and it's always nice to hear from you.
You like to taunt.
ReplyDeleteDid you kiss him? I've wondered how people handled dating during this past year.
Alex, yeah, I was an equal participant in a kissfest.
DeleteIt's all weird -- we're tending towards extremes here -either avoiding the world as much as possible, or partying in COVID cesspools of strangers. Just got my second vaccine. I think I'm still lucky to be somewhere in the middle of the extremes.
oh my....hope this story has a positive continuation. Not a fever dream....?
ReplyDeleteLet's hope not, Joanne. ;-)
DeleteTake care, friend.
❤️

DeleteWoo HOO! You go, girl!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Debra. I hear your cheers from here.

Such a tease!
ReplyDeleteThat's what they tell me.
DeleteCheers, Jeff.
I'm just glad you finally got to go to a comedy show.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Yeah, being single during a pandemic is probably almost as hard as being cooped up with an annoying partner. Smiles.
DeleteYou left us hanging...I hope you didn't do the same with him:). I read you got the covid vaccine which I am glad about and it's always fun to stroke one's arm, thigh....
ReplyDeleteHa. You're so clever, Birgit.
DeleteYeah, I'm vaccinated. Are you? (I was pretty tired today - one day after second dose, but I can't complain.)
Hugs.
Nope, not yet but hopefully will be in the spring time.
DeleteCliff-hanger or what?!
ReplyDeleteYeah, how to summarize a relationship/flingin one blog post? I can't, so I clench those cliffs, Annalisa.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
