Irony

Sunday was Blogger J's bday, so a large extravaganza was planned for Saturday night. Feeling the need to warm up the weekend, a smaller group of us went out on Friday night. I'm scanning the crowd at the bar for prospects when my gaze lands upon a hot, tall piece of man. J and I devise a plan and spring it into action. And it worked. Turns out he was with a big group of guys because they were (get ready for the irony) at a local military base for school, and they actually lived in San Diego. San Diego, as in the place I lived before I moved where I live now. As in the place I lived with my military boyfriend. Sidenote: I would like to take this opportunity to give props to the Navy for allowing their men to have semi-normal haircuts.

Anyway, we hung out with the group all night (literally, until 5am), and then met up again with them the following night. Until 6am. There is a chance we might meet up with them next weekend, or I should say that I might hang out with him next weekend...let's hope for that...because all I have to say is mmmmm.

Well, mmmmm, and I'm thinking I'm due for a visit to San Diego.

Tidbits

Happy Monday, oh faithful reader(s)! Welcome to my random post o' updates...

*Badge and I aren't dating any longer. I had felt a weird vibe from him last week and called him out on it. He said he didn't feel a spark between us. Either he's really good at faking chemistry or there's another reason. My money is on the whole "not sleeping with him" thing. But in the end it really doesn't matter I suppose. So thanks, Badge, for entertaining me for a good month or so, you will be missed!

*Girl Games 2009 took place this weekend. What is this, you may ask? It's a friendly competition amongst friends. Basically different activities are worth different point values, and whoever (or is it whomever?) ends up with the most points wins. For example, a guy introducing you to his friends is one point, while a guy buying you a drink is three points. Proposal of marriage? 100 points. I ended up getting a bonus challenge of starting a (sort of) bar fight, which earned me 25 points, and clenched my win. Everyone had a lot of fun, but I'm pretty sure I am getting to old to stay out until 5am.

*New boy forecast- I'm talking to a few new boys on match. One is my age and two are in their late 30's. I'm not sure how I feel about dating someone that old, but we'll see.

*Blogging break- You read correctly, I am toying with the idea of a blogging break. I have to get surgery on my lung on Wednesday, which requires an overnight stay in the hospital and some sort of recovery period. During this time I probably won't be dating...but aside from that, I just want to date some boys without feeling the need to share all the details! I know, this blog is voluntary, so I suppose this is a self-imposed hiatus from self-imposed quasi-pressure.

The future is clear(er)

Blogger J, S, and I decided to get our palms read last night. Do I believe in palm readers? Not really. I'm about 99.99% sure that it's total crap. But I do think that some people have a higher sense of intuition. Psychic? I don't know.

*warning- creepiness factor goes up in about 3 paragraphs*

My reading started out with the psychic saying I was seriously off balance in terms of my energy. Great. She said I was either at a total high or a total low, and that is hard for me because I like order. I consider myself to be a fairly even-keeled person, so whatev. She also said that I wear my heart on my sleeve, and although I'm great at giving love I have a hard time receiving love. Not sure how I feel about that. Oh, then she said that I'm in and out of love a lot (part of that high/low thing).

After these generalities she got specific. She said I have a soul mate who I will meet in 6-8 months, and we will be married about a year after that. She said our connection will be so strong that neither of us will feel the need for a long dating/engagement period. And three years from now? I'll be having my first of two sons.

I asked her to tell me about this alleged soul mate. She said he's 28-30, intelligent, loves the outdoors, and is spiritual. As for a job? *get ready for creepiness* He does something "somewhat related to law enforcement, but he's not a cop, but something with the government...AND HE WEARS A BADGE." Yeah, you read that right. She went on to say that I would meet him through a female friend. I told her that it was interesting she said that, because I'm currently dating someone who matches that description, and he knows one of my female friends (Blogger Jaimi). She asked if we were EXCLUSIVE, and I said no. She said she knows it isn't anyone I am currently in a serious relationship with, but couldn't anything in or out one way or the other.

Like I said, I pretty much think that psychics are crap and should be used for entertainment purposes only. But the fact that she used the word badge sort of creeped me out. Coinsidence? Probably. Weird? Definitely.

(By the way, Blogger Jaimi had her palm ready many, many years ago (way back at age 15), and the lady last night said pretty much the same stuff she was told back then. Cue twilight zone music.)

Having "the talk"

You all know about "the talk," right? It's that awkward conversation that occurs at the beginning of a relationship. Badge and I are still dating, and I believe things are going well. But this brings me to an age old question...

At what point do you have the talk - the talk that gives you a sort of definition of your relationship? And who should bring it up?

As of now, I'm assuming he is still dating other people. Whether that's true or not I have no idea. I'm not dating anyone, but that's more of a situational thing than a "I've decided to not date other people" thing. Do I want to date other people? Not really- I like Badge, and I'm excited about where it's going. But if someone asked me out I would probably say yes....although my heart wouldn't really be in it.

The planner in me wants to just ask him and get it over with...even if he said he was still dating other people and wasn't ready for that next step. I'd be okay with that, since that's what I'm assuming anyway...but there's something about actually knowing instead of assuming.

The other part of me wants for him to wait to bring it up. I don't want to scare him off, or think that I'm pressuring him in any way, because that's not the case. I just want to know. Think of it as a status check.

So to my readers- how has "the talk" come up in your relationships? Do you bring it up? How long into the relationship has it occurred?
