Who

Oceanside here I come, Hollywood look out. Instead of I-5, 99 was my way I'd hoped to meet Diamondblue that day As I came in to Fresno, I tried to stay calm. Felt like my chest was shrinking around my heart and my hands began to sweat on the steering wheel. Got to the Picadilly and reserved a room for 2 nights, just in case I wouldn't want to leave the next day. I went to my room on the second floor and walked out to the
balcony when my cell phone rang. "Andrea "
It read and I cheerfully answered Excited, she wanted to come right over Good things come to those who wait We gave ourselves an hour to get ready to meet I had purchased an outfit from High Prestige, pants taylored to fit within an hour, shiny blue shirt the clerk ironed for me, new shoes, socks and a belt.
I hopped in my car and went to find WalMart to buy some scissors, a hairbrush, A toothbrush and paste. At Von's I bought a single red rose and a vase. Back to the hotel to make myself handsome
I shaved and I showered and she called me just then. I was still in the water and she was almost there. Quickly, I towelled and dressed myself in a frenzy. It would not be proper to keep a lady waiting. Damn, I looked good, I thought to the mirror. Took my keys and my wallet and headed downstairs.
Red dress, Blue shirt.
I saw a red dress .. I stepped further into the lobby and there she was sitting, as if waiting to ambush me. She breathed in quick and clapped her hands together. Whoooosh!
She was in front of me and we embraced like old friends, though we were strangers. She pulled back to look at me and our eyes just smiled at each other. She was tall! She was thin .. more than I had imagined. She looked just like her picture. 3-D is different! Those hips, those legs, her funny long feet ... those intense light blue eyes and her toothy smile .. what can I say? She was perfect, of course.
I always believed it and it was real at last. Somehow I was still on my guard, very careful to speak. I wanted to show how good I could be. She held my hand and interlaced our fingers together. Interesting to me, nobody ever holds my hand with interlacing fingers together. She held my hand in her lap in the car as I drove us to dinner. I still had a sweat in my hand though I felt like a winner. It's how to be brave. Speak your mind even if your voice shakes. EDO YA Sushi .. oh yes. I have not the experience but the taste is the best. What new things can I try, what things will we do together. A good life partner is one with a sense of adventure.
Not that I've proposed, but I'm going to brag about her.
Her mind thinks like my own, and her humor is better. She has a freebird spirit and would have me fly with her. This may seem exaggerrated but it's not, I'm tellin ya.
I tried a Sea Urchin. It was like a cold pudding with a slight muscle taste. Mostly like chilled goo filling my face. People watched me intently but I couldn't speak, my mouth was full. I asked if the little pink flakes were tuna and right before I ate it someone said, "That's GINGER" ... yipes!
That would've had a kick to it, as much as I had on my chopsticks. She ate BBQ eel. I dropped my steaming washcloth and I dropped my napkin. I looked at her and said," I have lost two cloths." It was an unexpected thing to say and she giggled at my little joke. There was a lot of little jokes and a lot of giggling. Now if I could pull off sexy as well as I could pull off funny, it'd be an irresistable combination!
We drove our fly lookin selves back to the hotel. She couldn't wait to get out of her dress ... and into some regular clothes! Thought I was gonna say bed, huh? Overalls and a shirt, truer to her self image. I said that I wanted to swim so she zipped back home to get a suit and come back. She returned with the second room key that I'd given her and opened the door. At that instant, I faked a surprise of an invader and shifted my body side to side like deciding which way to run! (I know, it's hard to explain in writing what I could just show ya in person) It was funny! That's the point. Off to the poool, we walked with our towels. Some old folks were there yuckin it up at some patio table so we would be swimming to an audience. Andrea said the only way to go in is to jump in. WOO.. cold.... ahhh.. not so bad. It was still too soon after meeting her to get really touchy or silly but I mad do. I pretended to be a synchronised swimmer with my slightly ungraceful body. Funny, funny. Some employee came out to tell us the pool was closed. Dagnabbit. So, we go to the spa. :) the spa was nice, the spa was warm .. but wait who's this? Mitch. A guy whose life is business trips. A guy who somehow got us into a conversation from meeting on the internet to government conspiracies. Remember how diamondblue and johnewalkerred have practically the same personality? We were both being polite and got stuck talking to this guy for almost an hour! We finally went back to the room and on the way Cinderalla told me she would have to go at midnight. I stopped on the stairs to play Colonel Von Trappe and plea, "Frauline, ...... (pause for effect) ..... I vont you to shtay"
Yes, I'm a dork. But a loveable dork. In the room, we sat on one bed together talking. Then we moved to the other because I had been sitting around in my swim trunks and I wet the bed. I didn't want to beg but I couldn't let her go!!! I just wanted to hold her for awhile. She instructed me on how to position myself beside her to find the most relaxing way for her to fall asleep. As she pulled my arm under her neck and then across to her shoulder, she mumbled about how to .. and within seconds she was put to sleep! It was the most adorable thing. I layed awake, looking over at her from time to time. I was afraid my arm would go to sleep under her neck. Suddenly she pulled my arm but it wouldn't move and then she giggled. But she was still asleep! She was fast asleep and even kinda snoring... and she was so warm. Mmmm. I gave her neck little kisses because at that moment I loved her. She almost sprung awake 2 hours later. And when she realized that she'd put herself to sleep by telling me the best possible position for her to sleep it became a laugh riot. I hoped we weren't too noisy as we giggled laying on the made bed. She still insisted on leaving but not just yet.........we spent the next 2 hours speaking softly and carressing each other with sweetness. So as not to spoil our self image or the story we were making, but at that moment. .. with her sitting next to me, and her hair hanging down in slightly curled tresses, I wanted her.
(I clench my fists just thinking about it)... . At 4 am she left... and restless I went to the mirror and drew a self portrait of my face. I loved who I was. I loved where I was. It was the night of Monday, August 19 and had become Tuesday morning. I was my own man and in a strange city right in the middle of the state. It was warm outside and not windy at all. I was excited like going to Disneyland. If she hadn't left, I probably wouldn't have slept.
Wow. I met Diamondblue....

Who I am...

Link to 'Stuff I write'

I helped this person obtain his dream never meeting, only online... I asked him his MOST IMPORTANT DREAM...it was to make movies....but he was on the wrong path--he had an emotionally abusive relationship which involved everything from--his wife bringing home men and having sex while he was at home, to having a mediocre job that wasn't satisfying --delivering chips for mother goose....I found the pathway to his dream from where he stood...and wrote a plan...he wanted to be a film producer. I told him the steps would be scary and hard, but if he did what I said- he could have his dream..there were many steps--for instance I requested he file for a divorce and I gave him legal aid (imagine how scary that must have been) Also, selling the house because his market was high. Which gave him the money to move with and pay for school. He packed up the new sexy car he bought, and drove to LA and enrolled in film school. Talk about a magic bending of a man's future! I did this all within 1/2 of a year. While he was on his way to L.A. he drove through my city, and because he had finished each step that I laid out for him, AND BECAUSE HE WAS A WILD SUCCESS...... he and I decided to meet. he got everything he ever wanted.With my musing, he obtained his dream. He wrote one of these for each day we spent together.....this is day one...
