More thoughts about the state of my sex life
Mostly a continuation of my last post, and in the same Too Much Information vein. Just a warning.
So yesterday, after dinner with Ella, who should I run into but my one night stand from this weekend? The meeting was far less awkward than the previous random encounter, for a couple of reasons. One, my decision not to have sex again for a while. Two, I went and got some emergency contraception, so don't have to worry (as much) about getting pregnant. Three, I wasn't as hungover and cranky and nasty feeling. I'd just stuffed myself full of sushi and bean thread noodle soup, and Ella and I had a date with some Buffy episodes. Life was looking up.
Anyway, back to the random encounter.
The guy was really sweet to me. Probably because I was being a functioning human being again, but also, I'd like to think, because it was his last night in Boulder; ergo, his last chance to see me in quite a while, so it was good we got a chance to wrap things up.
We talked for a bit, and he gave me a flower and I gave him a cigarette, and general pleasantries were exchanged. He said he liked the shape of my nose, which is nice to hear.
He then told me, (in a kind of circuitous, new-agey fashion that involved a Higher Power and chakras) that he was going to try and remain celibate for the rest of his journey.
(I don't think I mentioned that he was part of a group that was walking across the country and making a documentary about it.)
He also said that it made him happy to have had his last sexual encounter with me.
Admit it, even if it is just bullshit, that's pretty sweet.
I told him I was considering doing the same, though maybe not for as long. I didn't tell him that I was going to wait until I'd been tested for STDs, because there really isn't a nice way to put that.
Although if I do test positive, rest assured that I will track him down and put my boot up his ass.
Other stuff: I am definitely leaving Boulder on Thursday morning. I am entirely sick of hearing people ask what I'm still doing here. On Wednesday, I might have a good-bye potluck at Katieblue's house, if anyone is interested.
