ReLo'd to BA from SD

in late 2006, relocated my angst, business, and social life to NoCal from SoCal ... just a 40-something chick in the 'burbs of the SF bay area who randomly posts about random topics ... the occasional quirky stories of dating (or not) at 40-ish, work-week cubeopolis frivolity, rambling musings on nostalgika, and the occasional introspective moments in life.(thanks for visiting! >p, b)

BA dating is not so much lately ...

Bookmark and Share

... however, there will be a turn of events.

meanwhile, in the spirit of yesterday's promise to billn for a non-pr5air post, as well as in the spirit of several exchanges with cal gal pal, ice man, sacto floyd, and skateboard dude ... the result, as mentioned yesterday, is a half-baked IJAM-esque tale (recommend you read for context purpose) about my kinda-anemic BA dating with a splash of green a la mode. today's recipe revealed:
    • 1/4 t. peeing on a stick
    • 1/4 c. #11 asian girls
    • 1/2 c. BA dating life
    • 1 T IJAM
    • 1/2 c. enviro-stuff
    • 1 c. napkin life planning
    • 1/2 c. apartment therapy
    • (optional) 1/4 c. google-stalking
[ACCEPTANCE SPEECH: ... and to the former boyfriend, skateboard dude, who (just yesterday) offered up an extremely very blatant offer (with specific examples) to "fix" me of the "dry spell affliction" in the dating department, i thank you for providing me with fodder and inspiration to fulfill my promise to billn.

for whatever reason, you truly believe that last year, at the 80s reunion, when i agreed to temporarily lower my self-respect kiss you because you were freaking badgering me about how i could never have met anyone else who kissed better than you after 20 years and i wanted to get you off my back just wanted to see if i still felt the urge to vomit a spark, ... that my saying it was "awesome" was ACTUALLY THE TRUTH?!?!? honestly you silly, silly, boy. how cute is that?! ... and that you are still the narcissistic man that i remembered as the narcissistic boy? ahhhh!!! because back then, i was too smitten by charm and "flash over substance", i'll admit.

and then just yesterday, your trying to compel me to take you up your offer to "fix" me?! kudos to you for relating why i should revisit an encounter with you for the sake of the environment.

what is it that you said? ... oh yeah! "baby, c'mon. you're green. ya gotta reuse and recycle so you can reduce your dry spell." corny? yes. clever? no. points for trying to stick with a theme? sure, i'll throw you a bone.]


context: a smattering (part 1) of select encounters that lasted longer than a happy hour former boyfriends (or at least interesting dates) identified with occasionally telling affectionate monikers to respect and maintain their anonymity (until you ask me who they were). in other words, given my anemic BA dating life ... WHAT IF i reused or recycled my past encounters/relationships? rather than answer the question, i'll provide the "she said" side for potential landfill options (in no special order) ... that - and a little self-therapy.

"Then again, if you spend your whole day
walking through a landfill all the time,
you might come to the conclusion
that the planet stinks."

(so write-eth ice man)
  1. skateboard dude: [a.k.a. the inspiration for this topic]
    more than 20 years ago, in between classes when a friend and i were deciding whether we'd kiss/sleep/touch randomly selected men among the sea of men walking past us in front of dwinelle hall (..."how about him? over there? that one? okay, guy with red backpack? for a second? if you were hammered?"), my friend pointed out skateboard dude, who was flying downhill toward us. i said "no f**king way!" AND of course, several months later, i was crawling surreptitiously under a slow-closing, apartment garage door with his OTHER girlfriend in order to confront him with OUR new found knowledge - that he was two-timing us. D'OH! joke was on us. BONUS of this pseudo-james-bond-ish move? when we knocked on his apartment door and the door opened, it was his THIRD girlfriend. fast forward to the 21st century? look - he pulled that "kiss me" when he was living with a gal. (i know. i played along. his deal, not mine. cold? oh well.) not going there. but we remain friends. pig quotient? 7/10.

  2. meow-meow: living in SD and now married, clearly not on the radar. dated back in '99. however, someone asked "what if meow-meow was on the radar? you guys got along really, really well!" my answer - he fell off the radar after "date" #4 ... awfully charming, funny, and sensitive, he also was an atheist-thumper (think bible-thumper-on-steroids and then flip it over) and a bit too heteroflexible for me. kinda that simple. oh! the moniker? petula-award, 2nd place. pig quotient? 3/10.

  3. purple-pleated-pants (p3): back in the day, some 20+ years ago, p3 was a totally fabulous dancer - a disco dancer, that is. and back then, that was solid gold! turns out ... i was the doppleganger of his ex-gfriend - and i would like to believe i am the 'good' vs. the evil one. the attraction? i don't remember - maybe it was the 7 pleats per pant leg (front & back) and quite the dancer body. fast-forward to the 21st century? my just-this-afternoon, google-stalking may have him as a dance instructor in the BA. pig quotient? dunno. don't remember.

  4. 976-boy!: an accountant by day. a musician by night. i met him on the commuter bus nearly 20 years ago. we got off on the same stop - day-after-day. one day, i decided to sit next to him ('cuz he looked cute; again, that's how i rolled back in the day) and chat it up. a few days later, he was making coconut curry shrimp for me and my roomie. a few weeks later after that, i was waiting for him to get ready to head out to brunch. so while i was sitting around his apartment, i saw (plainly on the coffee table) his phone bill total of $376.43 (or some number like that). it was very close (if not exact) to the phone bill totals i used to have when i dated someone who lived in hawai'i while i was in college in california. of course, i HAD to look at the phone entries out of sheer curiosity - just to see if he was dating someone in hawai'i. (ha!) but i digress. long story short - 976-boy! was completely addicted to 976-porn stuff. wonder what he's doing now that we have the internet? pig quotient? 4/10.

  5. wb#2: already paid homage to him in this smooth skin blog post with a most memorable quote of "mmmm ... look at that asian p***y" - that encounter was actually just last year. with no communications for nearly year and then an e/m from him just this april, i seem to be hovering at the entrance of the landfill, and i seem to stare at him from afar. just being truthful. as i told ice man, "i don't mind a little smut talk, but it's a little disturbing when it appears to be intended to be more of a soliloquy [than a monologue]." petula-award, 1st place. pig quotient? math is hard.

  6. big meat: well, don't make me state the obvious. a former 2-time felon (way before i met him), what a fun guy whom i "dated" earlier in this decade. "dated" is in quotes - as it should be - over a 2 year-ish period and on/off around when the conan o'brien show was on the tube. ('nuff said) i was once reminded by him - "it's not like i'd do anything criminal anymore." i believed him, well, except for his chasing way pain killers (in quantities way more than the prescribed amount as a result of a car accident that he had) with some other drugs of choice (available when it wasn't a totally dry season). during the 2003 christmas season, i received a step #9 phone call. another notable moment? when he flaunted/flailed his attributes while in assless chaps after i had repeatedly thrown-up. i know this is not him, because a friend facebook-stalked him, and he's still living in the socal area. good to know that he won't be featured in intervention. pig quotient? 7/10.
half-a-dozen little IJAM-esque tales should be fulfilling enough of the promise i made to billn. i need to have another reason for a non-pr5air, therefore more later as i think of some other tales.

r|break: ... when blog posts collide, it may be a recipe for disaster (or not)

Bookmark and Share

... or at least when tangents run amok and get swirled around in my grey matter on an early saturday morning.

although it may be considered tmi, deal with your conservative threshold. here's what happens when i'm at a loss of how to fulfill my promise to billn that i would write a non-pr5air post. (WARNING: hyperlink hell post with trying-too-hard bad puns and some blue-ish prose)

in the spirit and with the intention to keep my promise to billn - AND - with a somewhat limited creative bent this weekend, i asked myself - "what can i throw together for billn?" ... turns out, as i age i have learned, my memory not being what it used to be, i may simply draw on this past week's memorable-enough events - - - previous blog posts, e/m exchanges with iceman, sense of nostalgia with my 1-yr work anniversary coming up, telephone conversations with friends, dinner with cal gal pal, and work stuff. "ah-ha! i'll hyperlink the hell out of sh** (or repost) and mash-up my week to serve up a post for billn!"

the ingredients? ...
just like a tasty baked good blueberry muffin recipe, here's my test-kitchen, weekend recipe (with ingredients and portions that may later vary) -
  • 1/4 teaspoon ... peeing on a stick - with yesterday's t.v. ad, current reality is i can use my pennies for something else that may result in needing to pee on a stick (?!)
  • 1/4-cup ... #11 asian girls - was talking with a friend about the yellow fever yesterday (and how i also may see wb#2)
  • 1/2 cup ... BA dating life - it's why i don't need to worry about peeing on a stick for now
  • 1 tablespoon ... IJAM - i sent to iceman a link to the monikers-r-us SD dating moments and also had an oracle-ish moment
  • 1/2 cup ... enviro-stuff - it contributes to my passion in life, so i strive to reduce, reuse, recycle
  • 1 cup ... napkin life planning - one of the many reasons why i so **heart** and cherish sactofloyd!
  • 1/2 cup ... apartment therapy - with a bit of home organizing still afoot and getting caught up on my fave magazines (which includes cooking stuff)
directions (just like the little muffin recipe!) ... preheat oven at 375 deg F. make sure your prep station is nice, tidy and clean. consider, perhaps spit-shining wiping clean the countertop(s). then, in a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients. cut in the wet ingredients. stir until moistened. fill paper-lined or greased muffin cups (... i choose to use both, just in case) to about two-thirds full. comfortably situate the pan in the middle of the rack for at least 69-minutes depending on your elevation and all ... (i know, i know!!! - stop trying just a little too hard (bwahahahaha!). knock it off, already!)

how will i know when it's ready to serve? ... take a toothpick and poke the top of the tasty-treat to see if there are any crumbs sticking to the toothpick or not? and you just keep poking it until the toothpick comes out clean. and unlike the blueberry muffin recipe, remove the pan with a towel (or something) and let it sit for a while to just air dry. while this is going on, get all the utensils nicely cleaned up and put away. and make sure that kitchen countertop is spit-shined wiped clean again, just in case you wanna serve up something else!

yield? ... an IJAM-esque tale about my kinda-anemic BA dating with a splash of green a la mode.

for now, i'll end this with the rather inspirational (or at least thought-provoking, to say the least) iceman oracle-ish moment:
"Then again, if you spend your whole day walking through a landfill all the time, you might come to the conclusion that the planet stinks."
enjoy your saturday
while i figure out what ingredients i'm really going to mash-up.
