Updates on the crazyness that is my "love life"...

So, my birthday is at the end of next month and I am going to visit "Aduli". He tried to get me to also come for his birthday at the beginning of next month, but I have mock trial practice the day of his birthday and have to be back in Austin....sadness I know.

But the point is, im actually very excited about this for a couple of reasons...one more physical than the other. lol. So basically, we've been friends for about 7 years. And we've talked about everything for hours upon hours upon hours. And eventually we started tackling different subjects. At first, we just talked about how our days were, or what was bothering us and things like that. Then after a couple of years, we started talking about our love lives, things that we liked or disliked. Then after about year 4, we started talking about our actual feelings...not feelings toward each other, but just feelings and like really deep stuff. Then, we ventured into saying "sexual" things to each other...and like not in a lewd way, but I would always be like, "don't say anything nasty or inappropriate to me"...just because that wasn't our relationship and we were just friends.

Then started law school and he started for really working. I think it was at that point that our relationship changed from being a teenager like friendship (even though we were like 23/24 at that time) to like an adult friendship. And then the latest step...the step after the visit. We were actually for really honest about how we felt about each other, and the visit and everything like that. THEN, we started talking on the PHONE....whaaaaaat?!?!?!?!? That may not seem like a really big deal or anything, but it was kinda like an unspoken rule that we did not speak on the phone as a way of kinda keeping our feelings for each other in check. In 7 years, we talked on the phone a total of......2 times. The first time was 3 years ago when I visited DC and I didn't have internet and he sang happy birthday to me last birthday. BUT then of late, we've been talking to each other a couple of times a week. And we literally talk about everything....we sing christmas carols and even explored the foray of "sensual storytelling" (which by the way is awesome....sensual storytelling is NOT the equiv. of phone sex ok....don't be gross).

But no joke...I'm kinda living freely for the first time in a really long time, and I absolutely love it. The whole reason I wouldn't talk to him on the phone or not allow us to talk about our feelings is because I feel so incredibly strong for him and it scares me. I don't want him to be able to hurt me and because I've known him for so long, I know that he will be able to. But honestly, even if I do end up getting hurt, it will be worth it because of how he makes me feel.

And I'm not trying to jinx anything, but this really is kinda crazy to me. He's never been able to keep interest in a girl that he's dating for longer than a month. And this is girls IN DC. And even though we aren't dating, i've kept him leashed for about 2 months and I'm 1700 miles away. And he even said it. We were talking yesterday and he was like, "I'm not even going to lie, I am still completely enthralled by you. You'd think I'd be over you by now but it (our experience together....we did not relate) was just that good/amazing...just know I think VERY highly of you." And that is like one of the best compliments I think I have ever gotten, simply because I think it took a lot for him to even say that to him.

But I'm just so excited because I know he's excited to see me too. He just keeps mentioning it too. Loving it. Talking about, "Think of you're visit as the best first date you will ever have in your life. You and me together for 48 entire hours. I'll take you out, do some cultural things and the rest of your time just blow your mind"....does that explain why I'm a little excitable? That's my DUDE son.....

Effing Gracious

What is this that is going on? Is it a result of boredom or possibly of something else? Who knows. I just know that I wish I didn't think about this dude as much as I do. It's like, really...it shouldnt be this crucial for me at this juncture, but for some reason...I just have this intense feeling. But is the feeling for him, or am I just happy that I am finally able to feel again? Only time will tell I suppose. Possibly in a month, when we see each other again, I will be able to tell if there is something more, however, until them...I just wish I didn't think about him like I do.

Almost wanna go back to the times of not feeling...like I've done for the past 3 years. Dang man. Effing this ish up for me.

My Upcoming Birthday

So... since this is my year that I am treating myself and living for ME and doing what the flip I want to do. I am going to see one of my favorite pianists because he's playing ON my birthday. Yeah does it matter that it is Thursday and I have class on Thursdays? Naw not really...I've never really celebrated my birthday before in 25 years of life, so I am doing it for the 26th dammit. Taking Thursday through Sunday off for ME.

I'm not playing. Finna let loose. Yessir! Super excitable x43.

Slight Job Related Stress

So.....I really need to get this freaking PMF fellowship OK. Like the need is not a joke right now. My dad is freaking out about my decision to take the bar in Maryland. His main "supposed" argument is because I don't have a job as of yet. But I know that it is mainly because he wants me to be in California closer to him. But what did I say? I am not living my life for anyone else right now except myself.

The only thing about the PMF fellowships is that they are not attorney positions. But do I want to do legal work anyway? I guess I've always really wanted to do work in federal government... so does it really matter? But if I did get appointed as a fellow at an agency, I would still take the bar because that would just be silly now.... Silly. Oh I really hope I get this!

My Final Answer

So I have decided to make a decision that I was too chicken to make 3 years ago...I'm moving back to Maryland. Yes. I am. Why? Because I've wanted to be there for the past 6 years of my life, but it didn't quite match up. And finally, I am given a fresh start, so I am going to do what I want to do with my own life.

And this is a decision for ME. I'm making it only because and for ME. After I graduate in May, I'm going to move to MD and take the bar. I am in the selection process for a federal fellowship as well as a couple of possible judicial clerkships so I have possibilities. But if all of these fall through, I still think I need to be over there in order to establish a network and relationships for people to hire me.

And I'm following my moms words, if it doesn't work out, I can always come back to California, and see what's good there. But its about time that I start taking some chances in my life. Tired of living scared and living "logically".

Come on now Eldrick

I'm only spending a couple of sentances about this little effer cuz I can't stand him. But the "Tiger" thing...why all the media attention? Because people thought Tiger was beyond the black male athlete stereotype. He tried so hard to convince people that he wasn't black and I guess the majority of poeple kinda bought into that. And now that he DOES fall into that category, people are flipping the freak out. HA.

I told ya'll he was a punk from get.

Their Eyes Were Watching God

So I've read the book a couple of times. Loved it each time I've read it. My favorite book infact that is until "Mama Day" came along.

Point being, I watched Oprah's version of it...and OMG. All I can say is Tea Cake, Tea Cake, Tea Cake! Freaking Michael Ealy oh my goodness. I never thought he was hot until that movie. He was unnecessarily sexy up in here. Especially the part where they went to the Everglades and they were dancing and Halle Berry gave him that thing to eat of her hand....whaaaaaaat!!!!! I bout fell off the couch. And they kept showing close ups of his freaking lips. I woulda effed the brakes off that dude. Like my goodness. It really was not a joke at that point.

Have to check out some more of his movies man...

Limbo-mania

So I'm still in this really weird mode right now. It is all kinds of wow. I am trying not to be overanalytical typical girl, but um yeah.... I just have no earthly idea what's going on. We're still friends, but are we more than that? I mean it doesnt matter as nothing can materialize for at least 6 months...but it would be a nice thing to just.....know.

So about a month and a half ago, I went to DC and kinda had a three days and nights of awesomeness. I went to go to a conference, but I stayed with one of my guy friends, who I met my first year of college...we'll call him...Aduli (for some reason, that's what my best friend has named him, so we will use that name here to protect all parties involved).

Just to get a little background on the "relationship". We met my freshman year in college...I was an athlete and he was my student athletic trainer. lol. Funny I know. So we kinda hit it off from the get go...as friends though. There has always been this undescribed chemistry between us. Long story short, we kept in contact even though I changed schools and moved across the country.

So for the past 6 years, we've just talked on aim/gchat, and somehow, have developed a really good friendship. When I was having relationship problems, he was the first person I would go to and vice versa. About 3 years ago, I went to DC to visit schools and we hung out a little...but it was kinda a disaster. At this point, I was in a relationship and was totally thrown off by my feeling an attraction to him. I was so nervous and felt so guilty and felt like I was cheating on my boyfriend, that I totally ruined the night and was like "take me home".

BUT, we still kept talking over gchat and such. And funny enough, the relationship even grew from there. We talked about politics, TV, music, life, pretty much everything else in between. There has always been this sort of understanding that we connect so well, but we were 1500/3000 miles apart so nothing could materialize from it. And like I said, both of us recognized this. So that continued for three years, until a month and a half ago.

So I (wisely or unwisely, whichever way you want to go with it) decided to stay with him while I was in DC for the conference. He picked me up from the airport, I dropped my stuff off and we went to dinner. I hate to sound so cliche, but the chemistry really was just crazy. There were no serious lulls in the conversation, it just was so natural. And I think that really says something provided that since that first year, we have only seen each other twice. But I mean, 6 years...you do get to know each other...But I digress. We both had a glass of wine, so we were kinda loosened up and it was just happening. So after we ate, we rented a movie and went back to his apartment to watch it. Then we talked for like 3 hours afterward and decided it was time to go to sleep. SUPER platonic.

So I was going to go to sleep on the couch but he was like, "You can sleep in my bed, it's big enough for the two of us". Mistake #1. So he told me he had to do this motivational call to a client at like 8:30 but he didnt want to wake me up (thoughtful huh) So I said OK. I tried to stay like on the edge of the bed the entire night. And he was a complete gentleman...he didn't touch me the entire night. Now the next morning...different story. He took the call and then he got back in the bed. Mistake #2. So we talked for about 30 minutes before he was like, "Do you want a massage". Mistake #3. It was the best massage I have ever had. Not a full body, but just from my waist to my neck. And let me say that I NEVER let people touch my neck...but I let him all up in there. lol. We then somehow started play fighting or whatever. Just joking around and having a really good time. It actually took a lot out of us, so we were just laying down for a while. And out of nowhere, he's like, "I'll be right back". So he comes back and throws the cover over both of us....and turns on this flashlight that he had just retrieved and is like, "I used to like to pretend under the covers like they were tents". lolol. Hilarious. And if you knew this dude, you'd know how big of a deal that was. It was literally like in that moment, I saw his wall just crumble and come down in front of me. Something so simple, but it really did mean a lot...kinda symbolic actually. We stayed under there for like 15 minutes just kinda laying side by side and looking at each other. And it was kinda funny, but I remember laying there and realizing, "I think we are holding hands". Once again, it seems like a really stupid thing to memorialize, but just the way everything just floooooowed....freaking amazing. Somehow, I ended uprubbing his palm and he was rubbing the top of mine. And that's a big deal for me, because I really dont like touching.

So we literally just laid for 15 minutes, just breathing, and being, and looking at each other. I woulda been content if we just left it at this. But no. So then...he says, "Would you be incredibly mad at me if I kissed you". All I remember is giggling and then his lips were engulfing mine, but in an oh so good way. It started really sweetly and innocently. Kinda like a "I can't believe we are kissing each other type thing". Then it just got like incredibly intense. We didn't have sex, both of our clothes remained on...but pleasure was HAD. On both of our parts. We just kissed and touched and rubbed and held each other for like 4 hours straight. Then we decided we should probably get up, but as we got up, we started kissing again...and somehow ended up on the floor for like a hour. Then, Aduli said he wanted to take a shower. So I said I'd watch him (lol so not like me). So I get in there and he starts running the bath water and went to go get his swim trunks and was like, "Will you get in with me, you can put these on". And so I did....Mistake # I lost count. lol. So we're in the tub, sitting across from each other (that was actually a pretty big tub). And somehow, we started kissing yet again...for like an hour AND he started to act like he wanted to pull an "Australia" on me, until I nipped that in the bud and we got out.

So we got out and the music was still playing and everything. So I'm drying off with the towel around me and he like gently pins me against the wall and we go at it AGAIN. That was the sexiest thing I have ever experienced in my life. Please believe if I wasn't concerned about my sanctity and purity, I would have taken him right there...but I couldnt give it all up at that point.

So the next day, he told me I forgot my charger at his apartment and that he was going to bring it to me. So he did. I came out of my hotel and saw him there...looking amazing. So he gives me my charger and I say thanks and buy and turn around to walk back to my room. So I'm walking back but I dont see his car pass me, so I turned around and here he comes running up to me. So all I got out was , "Really Aduli"? And he just smiles and tips my chin up and gives me like the most passionate kiss ever. EVER. Just all up in public with people all around and everything. It was outside in the crisp Maryland fall air. It was just beautiful. So I was like, "I can't believe you did that". And he said, "Well I couldn't wait another 3 years to do that again. I couldnt".

Like OMG. Mother freaker. So after I got back home, a week went by before EITHER of us discussed it. And we talked multiple times. But I broke down and was like, we need to talk about this, so we did. And I let him know how I felt and he let me know how he felt. He was like, he had never had as much fun with anyone as he had with me and he felt something and blah blah. So then like about a week later, he tells me that he's been having a hard time forgetting about what happened and where I fit into his life and should I and how I fit in with him dating other people and stuff. So I told him I pretty much felt the same way, but we just left it at that. And at one point, I think he tried to bring up the subject of visiting me, but I kinda ignored it because at THAT point, I still kinda had a boyfriend. Although last week, he said I should come spend New Years/his birthday with him...but I don't have any money, and I have to be back in Austin on the 3rd of January anyway. And we've had some conversations ABOUT the goings on of that weekend and what we enjoyed and what we didn't blah blah. I'm talking 8 hour conversations and carrying on. But then a couple of nights ago...it turned SERIOUS and that is all I am going to say. But oh my goodness...I am feeling this dude uncontrollably like no other. Why can't school just be done so I can move to Merraland!!!!!!!!! (and for those of ya'll who think I'm moving to MD because of him, please check my previous posts from like 3 years back where that has always been my goal...) 6 more months man! Maybe I'll visit him for my birthday...or he could visit me...

But the whole point of this long behind post was to describe the limbo and the reason for the limbo. It's a good place because it's exciting and inticing. But it's a bad place because it is nerve racking and I just wish I could call him and tell him to come over so I can touch him.

And I'm not oblivious, I know the situation. I'm not expecting him to stop dating people or going to the club every weekend. I know he's a serial dater. I know how he is. I'm not his girlfriend nor do I want to be at this point. I mean in June, who knows, but right now, I don't really want to get into an all encompassing relationship again. I just hope he was wait 6 months for me. Wouldn't that be about a bitch if he got into a relationship in the next 6 months, when he was NEVER had a relationship before?

Overwhelmed

This is a time for big changes right now...and I'm not even sure how to feel about it. Do I go back to California? Do I stay in Texas? Do I strike out on my own and move to the East Coast? Do I get back together with my boyfriend? Do I leave him for good? Do I try to make something more out of a friend? Do I leave it as is?

Just too many choices to make. Yes some are bigger than others, but they are all weighing on me and making me a miserable wreck right now. There isn't one day that goes by that I do not feel like crying because of these decisions. It is so overwhelming and I wish it would just stop.

I'm A Bleep Bleeping Psychic

What did I tell ya'll.... I said Imogen Heap's "Aha!" was going to be on SYTYCD and I said Wade Robson or Mia was going to do it....and who did? Wade. BAM. lol. That's just a song MADE for choreography.

So This Is What It Feels Like To Feel Again....

But then again, I do not know what I want. All I know is that from now until I graduate in May is a really long time. I can't expect him to stay single for 6 months...I can hope...but I can't really expect it. Although he has been single for 7 years so I don't really know...

The man that's stolen my heart
And beauty is his name
I'm hoping I can make you mine
'For another woman steals your heart
And once your beauty is mine
I swear we will never be apart

What the Hell Have I Done?

Sooooooo....it's been three weeks and apparently, that's all it took for reality to set in for me. This isn't going to happen. It just isn't. No matter how much I think about it, it's not going to happen. It COULD happened. It's not like its the circumstances, no no, it is because of the person.

Realistically. I know him. I know how he operates, I know how he functions. I know he isn't going to go for this/us. Yeah, he could go for me, but the fact that it isn't easy...he won't do it.

And I can already feel it. I let him in and know I am the one that is going to be hurt. But you know, you reap what you sow...and this is what I get.

I can dream and think about it as much as I want to, but it really isn't going to happen. Does it hurt....yes it does. A lot. And for the first time in the three weeks, I do actually feel like I am going to cry.

I don't know how I even let some ish like this happen to me. THIS is why I don't let go. And THIS is why I have not honored my feelings for 7 years. THIS right here.

And the worse thing... I would usually go to him for advice about this.....got damn. I have really fucked the shit up yo. So upset right now.

Why Family Guy is Awesome Part Deux

"...and you do that weird trembling thing...I have a copper deficiency!"

Once again, Family Guy is awesome. BTW copper deficiency can cause loss of muscle control.

"...drinking melted butter for a midnight snack."

Well that was one from The Cleveland Show....but still it fit.

One More Thought For Effing "Perspective"

Oh, I don't know what to do
I can't stop wanting you
Oh I'm in love, I'm in love with my best friend
It's tearing me apart, because he has my heart
Oh I'm in love, I'm in love with my best friend

I've been wanting you for many life times now
And I'm so afraid to tell you how I really feel
You have been there for me I was 13 and you were 14
Best friends for years, where do I go from here

Oh, Oh, I can't stop the way that I feel
Everytime I see you, I lose control
I just can't let it go, no
A kiss from you, ooh how does it feel, Oh I wonder
I'm so close to you, but I wanna get next to you,

Oh, I don't know what to do
I can't stop wanting you
Oh I'm in love, I'm in love with my best friend
It's tearing my apart because he has my heart
Oh, I'm in love, I'm in love with my best friend

When we're out together everybody smiles at us
Cause they think that you're my man, so I hold your hand
Like you're my man
I keep hoping that you'll notice me
And maybe one day you and I could be
Together more than just friends yeah

Oh, I can't hide the way that I feel
Everytime I see you I lose control
I can't let it go, no, no
Kissing you just won't be enough
I need all of you, I wish you wanted me
Like I want you, oh, yeah

Oh I don't know what to do
I can't stop wanting you
I'm in love, I'm in love with my best friend
It's tearing my apart, because he has my heart
I'm in love, I'm in love with my best friend

If you only could understand the things that he does for me,
Beautiful, wonderful, gorgeous and simplicity
He describes all the things that love is about for me

And I got to have him, yes I want him
I want him, I need him
I'm in love with my best friend
I'm in love, yeah

Oh, I don't know what to do
I can't stop wanting you
Oh, I'm in love I'm in love with my best friend
It's tearing me apart, because he has my heart
I'm in love I'm in love with my bestfriend

Perspective Is Now My Least Favorite Word...

I wish we didn't have to have perpective...
I wish I could shake you...
I wish I could tell you how I really feel...
I wish I didn't have to be strong...
I wish you knew what I wanted...
I wish we had more time...
I wish we weren't 1500 miles apart...
I wish we could be together...
I wish I didn't want you...
I wish I didn't want to talk about you...
I wish I didn't think about you...
I wish I didn't still feel you...
I wish you didn't make me feel music like you do...
I so wish we didn't have to have perspective...

I Am Seriously Done Tonight

"I hope that you're the one. If not, you are the prototype"

Wow

I don't like being cliche and saying silly things, but I think I have to say something. I have always felt music, but right now, I have never had an entire album speak to me like this...

"Love Behind the Melody" by Raheem DeVaughn

OMG. I've heard it before, when it first came out. But now, just extra wow with it. That is all.
