A quickie.

Heya.

Well, no, my puter still isn't feeling her best yet, and I won't bore you with the details why. Not that I'm enough of a tech-head to really be able to anyway.

But, thanks to Toronto internet cafes, I'm sure you'll be hearing more from me very soon now. Besides, it'll be nice to get out of the house to do some writing, even if it means editing hot images while the students around me blast each other on World of Warcraft.

I know. I'm bad.

But some things to catch you-all up on:

o I tend to wear shorts in warm weather when I'm working, and of late, I've been getting a lot of flirtacious comments from women passers-by during my day. It's really been a treat because God knows I love to be the one receiving the flirtations too. Yum.

o I'm really enjoying sharing with, and getting to know more about some of you, through Twitter. Keep it up!

o Dean and I continue to date, if you want to call getting together once or twice a week to fool around, taunt her gangsta-wannabe daughters, and kvetch about things we have in common "dating." I really should, like, you know, take her out sometime. Hrm. My work schedule is brutal. Our friendship is developing very nicely, and she's become quite the friend as I deal with some recent annoyances. And, you know, she loves a good spanking. Bonus!

o The Schoolteacher and me finally realized that while we liked each other as people, we really have precious little in common, and we mutually expressed our adult understanding of that and essentially ended things. Not that that should really be a surprise, because we haven't seen each other in weeks and weeks now, but it feels good that the understanding was level-headed and without tension. I'm sure we'll see each other, as friends, sometime. It's all good.

o Like the ebb of tides and the movement of the moon, my affair with Shayne continues to shift and at once both delight and tease me. She's recovering from her own break-up with The Violist, and we've stayed in touch through it all. While she and I "officially" broke up some time ago, there's just something about It that keeps drawing us back together, in some fashion, in some form. When I allow myself to let go of ideas about relationship structures (a challenge for an earth-sign like me) it's really very nice in its own anarchic, Aquarian way. We're talking about getting together again this summer, possibly with her coming to my city for Pride 2009.

o Morgan has dropped off the face of the earth. I like her, and it's unfortunate. But, you know, her loss.

o Scheduling has been keeping Bootblack Boi and me from being able to hook up again socially, but I'm still hoping that could change in the future. I have a feeling that if I bring Dean to one of the local playparties, I may run into him again, and that would be a treat.

And I bought a new car. Mmm.
