I’m in an odd place right now. While in many areas of my life things are falling apart, in my love life I actually have options. I may not be getting any (sex or play) right now, but there are multiple possibilities on the horizon and some of them are quite good. Others are excellent. Not that I’m surprised. This is how all aspects of my life work, both professional and personal. It’s never “opportunities spread out nicely through time” it’s always “clumps of possibilities” followed by long periods of “nothing (and no one) to do.”
I’m actually really excited that the boy from the Northern Lands who I’m all gushy about is going to be in town this week. I don’t know if I’m actually going to get to see him, but even the possibility makes me all glowy. It’s lame really. I haven’t even managed to kiss him yet, but I like him, he likes me, and one of these days I’m going to back him into the corner and see if we can translate some of our conversational chemistry into physical chemistry**. Regardless of what happens, in the meantime I’m going to enjoy having someone who I can Like without being all conflicted about it or having people ask me “what do you see in him?”
Moving 90 minutes or so South, there’s that other guy. The one who keeps surprising me by not being who I expect him to be, and being far more fun instead. The one who is so good on paper that it’s like he stepped out of my high school romantic fantasies. The one about whom I have the odd feeling that, if and when we progress to the clothes ripping off stage, he will pleasantly surprise me in the bedroom (and maybe even the dungeon) as well. Plus, he just sent me an e-mail that accidentally made a literary fantasy come true. I will not share it with you because it proves conclusively that I’m even more of a dork than you would expect from my twin obsessions with Doctor Who and Alton Brown, and I’m just not ready for hard evidence.
Still closer, in fact all the way past me and out less than an hour in the other direction, there’s that poly couple. They may be currently off limits, but it has been suggested to me that that will not be the case forever, at which point there will be much jumping. I like them, a lot, in a completely non-stressful way, and also seriously want to rip both of their clothes off. Thank goodness that I enjoy that delicious sense of sexual frustration when you know you both want, but are being good, because every time I hang out with one of them it’s just a constant struggle to keep my mouth to myself. Still, I have self control and respect for their relationship so I content myself with enjoying the little internal sizzle. But man it’s nice to have local friends who I want to, and may one day be able to, jump.
It’s odd, feeling like there’s hope out there, not just for hot sex and fun play, but possibly for even more. Not that I would turn down some hot sex or fun play right now if they were offered. Anything but! I really think I’m getting easier about including sex as part of my casual play. Or maybe not. Maybe it’s just that I’m finding more friends who I like enough, in the right way, to be easy with. I like being easy. Especially with this job.
Can I just say that getting paid to write and talk about sex all day when I’m not having any sex makes me want to believe in a sentient universe just so that I can picture it laughing at me and stick out my tongue in defiance? I really need to state, for the record, that I have not consented to submitting to the universe. If I’m going to get worked up into a state of extreme sexual frustration and just left to simmer there unfulfilled, I’d much rather it be for the pleasure of an actual human being. Not for some slightly sadistic, but not generally malevolent, force of nature. Oh. No. Wait. That’s actually a pretty good description of exactly what sort of person I prefer to take me to such places. Bloody universe. It’s not nice to take advantage of me just because I’m so damn predictable. I stick my tongue out at the sky.

*Does anyone other than me remember the show referenced in the title? I always enjoyed it because it had a strong, sexy bisexual female character all of whose songs were in a key I could sing.
**Oddly enough, one of the things that physical chemistry focuses on is state changes. *sigh* That’s probably only going to be a funny comment to me and Patricia. Thank goodness she reads this blog and is as dorky as I am.
