has a busy dance card

wowie.
so check this out. friday i was on FIRE. and frankly, i still am.
went to a conference all day downtown. swank. i love being around academics, schmoozing, learning, mentoring, being wined & dined. (although in my field they rarely serve alcohol [in the US].)
and then...the end of the day...i hear this incredibly provocative comment from the back of the room..and echo of myself, that is. i look back and it's this curly haired cutie about my age. and i look at his name badge- i know this boy.
we're both the youngster local powerhouses in our fields. we've communicated many a time via email.
so after the session, i go and introduce myself to him. i can hardly wait.
we talk, we walk. we connect. he's on the level. he sees i'm on the level. i propose an after-conference drink.
he calls, i make my way over to this swank department store-turned bar. on the way there, this homeless dude (he didn't even smell like one) stops me and tells me all about how the aryan race is trying to take over, and the government implanted a chip in his brain...here's his medical records...
back to the story. i get to the bar. there's this other chickie there too, actually a bff of one of my mentees...which doesn't even matter. he sits by me, makes sure i'm in the middle of them. his foot is on my chair the whole time. he touches me. multiple times. plus the accidental brushes, running into one another while walking...such magnetism.
and the conversation is rich. i look at his adorable ass telling stories of compassison and triumph like a puppy dog; meanwhile i'm sure to display my own cat-like agile handle on world experience and wisdom.
whoo wee. then the next day, i get a text. we were joking that night cuz my bberry is through my work's server, and the text says, "wait, is this business *angora* or personal *angora*? i'll watch the texts.." "personal. text away," i reply. "porn sex anal. you better be sure!!"
hilarious!! goodness gracious. "cock, smack, bare-back. i'm sure," he got back.
nice one. hope he calls.
SO THEN...
i'm on the way home. gonna take the train. to go meet my girl at another bar. and i see this boy...this tall blonde boy. talking to a homeless guy, patiently.
when the homeless dude walks away, i just HAD to say something, having given a random crazy 5 minutes of my day already. long story short, tall blonde boy is an engineer and an environmentalist and has many professional overlap interests...goodness. 30 minutes later he's buying me dinner. oh, sweetness!! i'm actually gonna have lunch with him in a few minutes here before he leaves town. gotta love the out-of-towners.
speaking of out-of-towners, il bello is officially coming to the wedding with me in june. did you know that already? i don't blog enough to tell.
oh, and i'm supposed to be going out *maybe* with the email guy from work, too. today. hahahhahh
