The Thing About J

tonight i actually have plans. that's a pretty big deal since lately i've been as socially active as a dung beetle.

i'm going over to j's for movies, food and drinking. you may not recall j but he is the chap that i was dating while the world was waiting on the boy to show some spine. i really liked him and he really liked me. the things that i like about myself were the very things that he understood. i'm sure that many of us go through life without anyone noticing those details...

j is from my hometown and we re-met each other at a bar last year. i slowly won him over and he fell for me. he's the nice guy i was looking for and there are definitely times when i wished that i would have stayed. the attraction wasn't as strong but the respect was. understanding is a quality that i've come to really lust over lately.

so tonight i'll be drinking with j to the concern of our friend, the boy. that's as it should be, i think. i was asked if i thought j "would try anything." of course i said that he wouldn't but i honestly didn't try to bat away all doubt. i don't like being taken for granted... i'm still a sex kitten even if i'm enjoying being curled up on one man's couch for the time being.

it's all harmless but it should be fun. then tomorrow night i'll be celebrating a one year anniversary of a truly dysfunctional relationship. and that will be fun, too.
