is that surprising?

When someone i respect acts shocked over something i say, or do - it always makes an impression on me.  So much so that i start to think they might not know me very well, or as well as i thought....but then, i always have to take into consideration the context of the relationship.

For instance - today i threw Anthony Bourdain's image into my collage during art class.  He seemed to fit, even though i noticed that my inclination was to get graphic and xx rated immediately after his face was glued onto my project......I controlled the urge.  Keep it PG MB, you work here after all.

So the Professor (also someone i would consider a friend who knows me at least a LITTLE) strolls by and gulps out "REALLY?".......which has me looking around for what the hell just happened to make him choke out loud.  

"Bourdain?"  says he.

 "yeaaaaah" says I.

"I don't understand what women see in him" says he.

 "Well...........for starters,HOT" says I, causing him to practically run across the room away from me with a look of disgust.

"He's such an asshole" says he.

"I don't know him personally, but I wouldn't mind" I say, wiggling my eyebrows and making my co-eds  laugh.  

I kinda bet he wouldn't give me an ear if he fell in love with me.  More like, a really great dinner.  He can cook for me ANY DAMN time he wants.  If i get to watch, all the better.  And i will clean up.  With no bitching.

Men who cook light me up.  A man who knows food, knows women.

I just got off track again.  ehem. excuse me.  ~fans self~

The point.  ah!  What kind of man does my Professor/Friend THINK i would go for?  Is Bourdain such a surprise?  I wonder what he would think if i told him that I STILL lust after Mickey Rourke even though his face is ......well, not so good anymore.

I've been known to have erotic dreams about Billy Crystal (City Slicker Billy Crystal, When Harry Met Sally Billy Crystal, not present life Billy Crystal)  Hey, i didn't ask for him, he just showed up.  And a mighty fine showing up he did.

His reaction got me to wondering what kind of man my friends would picture me with, or not find surprising.  Or what kind of man i might be surprised to picture myself with.

A while back i started a list of requirements that i will not budge on - articulate is one i'm going to add.  I thought it was a given but now i'm not so sure everyone would agree.  So here it is -

He must be articulate.  He does not have to be a reader, but he must respect that I am - and leave me the hell alone without attitude when I am lost in my world.  And if he should happen to be a writer, that is icing on my cake.  A good writer?  Chocolate Icing.

Is that surprising??

Let's talk about Mr. Racecar

 I admit it.  I am a little bit excited about meeting Mr. Racecar.   He's younger- 53 He's taller, and bigger than me He has tats, bald head and long beard He builds cars/trucks and drag races - own his shop which is attached to his home.  ONE is a Camaro.  It sounds NASTY. He lives an hour away Now......here's what happens in my head:  What the hell could this man possibly see in me?  Why would he want to meet me?  He- owns a Harley but hasn't ridden it in a few years due to a car accident that left him unable to walk again until recently. He is a typical male in that some of his talk tries to lead me down the "lets talk about sex, baby, lets talk about you and me" side of things, which I have successfully diverted without him losing interest. I'm looking to date, to find the man I want to have a relationship with, not a situationship. And then I had to explain what a situationship is because he has only just started dating again, and he is ...

I danced.

 This past Saturday night i revisited what it felt like to be the zero fucks ME.   I had talked myself out of going out that night.  I dragged my ass around the house and thought of every reason to text my girlfriend an excuse about why i wasn't going out. I had many valid reasons.  Putting on real clothes, trying to make myself attractive, going somewhere i've never been all by myself to walk up to a man i've been talking to, but haven't ever met face to face.   Okay, Mb.  Just put on your sassy pants and go do it.  Nothing to lose, everything to gain.   But PJs.   No.   On my way I get a text from my gf, she's running late.  When i get to the venue I ask her "how late" and she says about 1/2 an hour. She's picking up our other 2 girlfriends. Do i sit out here in the car for half an hour like a baby when his gig starts in half hour, or do i go inside by myself (getting used to that) and find him, say hello ...

Secrets

 Yesterday I found myself telling someone something about my life that I had not planned on sharing.  We don't really talk too much about our past relationships.  We aren't there yet and i don't know that it's really important.  It's not a race to the finish line.  There is time.   This was just the natural time to share the information. I have very few regrets in my life, some things i may have done differently, but even so, without regret.  Everything has brought me to who i am today.  This got me thinking of how much I've changed, that i would not even put the energy into defending anything I've done because i don't have to, and because i don't want to, or need to.  This also brought to mind how often judgement used to rule my world, and how I felt about myself. I married very young, to my high school boyfriend.  For many reasons, all i ever wanted (in my wisdom of 21 years) was to get married, have babies, and live happily ever ...
