Through my social circle, I ended up meeting a girl who everyone called some bird name. I told her the name didn't work for me, and I was going to call her Gummi Bear. She digged the name, and in fact, a few people in the circle have started calling her that.
Anyway, the day after I met her, I sent her a text, and I received no response. I figured, oh well, no big deal.
Fast forward about a month, and I decide I am going out to a club this next Thursday just to have some damn fun, and I send a mass text to my social circle. Now, I have no game yet when it comes to flirting by text either, but I figured this would be as good of a chance to start as any. Names have been, of course, edited in ~~ marks.
T: I am thinking church thursday. Interested?
GB: I have finals is this sky
GB: who es this
T: Was crashing. S' ~Amaranth~, gummi bear. I sent the invite to my ~friend~ list
GB: oh hey well since its you i would love to in to the church
T: Sounds good. Pick you up thursday around 9
GB: Okay sweet just you and me?
T: Aww girl. I'm not that easy. ~friend~ will be there to chaperone.
GB: Chaperone? Is one needed i would love to see ~friend~ though
T: :-> Ya never know. ~friend~ is always fun to hang around.
GB: Hm well are you attracted to me?
T: You seem fun and I think you have a fascinating energy to you. But the better question is why you find me so attractive? ;-)
GB: Who es to say i did<:)>
T: Lol. Okay, Gummi Bear. The wedding is soo off. Elvis will be so dissapointed. And I think I can get a refund on the tickets to Bora Bora.
GB: Lol dats amusing
GB: I think you are an interesting guy i would like to get to know you better.
T: Well, there is always google. But if you like a more intimate approach, I'm around from time to time.
GB: What do you mean by intimate
T: Less than clinical. Closely Personal. Getting to know eachother.
GB: In a physical sense as well?
T: Twas not my initial meaning, but you keep seeming to think about it :-> I need comfort and trust before I can do that.
GB: Agreed
GB: I didnt mean to offend
T: What would make you think I was offended? I am anything but.
GB: Just didnt want to come across as oh I don't know having a problem thinking.
T: Lol. Been there. Not offended, though. Heh. You are cute.
GB: You asked me once if i was a top or a bottom can i ask what you are?
T: A switch. I tend to do top a lot, but at times it is fun to be a bottom. Haven't met the right top or bottom to make me choose one or the other.
GB: Right on
GB: So talk to me tell me something about your self
T: I'm a fascinating man. I love the moon, rain, and dragons blood incense. I like good scotch and absinthe. I like to play games, have adventures, and try new things.
GB: That does sound fascinating
T: Tit for tat, my dear. Tit for tat ;-)
GB: Im a humble person i like listening to others i love ideas and the way people express them i would secretly like someone to spoil me once id never ask
T: Very cool. I love hanging out with friends and when people start discussing ideas and philosophies. It's great when ideas are debated and discussed, not argued.
GB: He yes i love watching the reactions of energy as people speak i dig mellow convo
Then later:
GB: The music is Fucking great tonight
T: Where are you at, and what music is it?
GB: At afterlife they are playing drum and bass
GB: It is nice
As you can see, there are a few lines that some of you may recognize, as I lifted them from some of you, and I think they helped a bit. I feel I did fairly well here, though I failed to act in a few key places. As always, advice is welcomed.
Now, on to Cinco. Cinco was a cluster for me. I went to the Mystery/Matador engagement in DFW, then after, I bounced to Dukes with some of the guys. I'd been up for 40 or so hours by this time, and I was dragging. I spent the first 40 minutes dragging ass and wandering. The tiredness, combined with massive AA (stupid, no? I was with a group of 10 or more people!) made me skittish as all hell. It was pretty obvious to just about everyone there.
Finally, I told myself before I left, I'd at least open 5 sets, and I did.
Of course, I failed to bring across a great energy, and I failed to do some things like time constraints, or a good jump of threads. This led to 1 set laughing and having fun at my opener, but not latching, and 4 sets quickly blowing me out, with me too paralyzed to do much at all.
So, me, I dragged my ass home, and crashed. Happy Cinco.
