B'more Careful

Sunday, November 12, 2006

Ah, sweet Sunday morning. I love the feeling you get after too much wine and delicious conversation. :) It hardly feels like work anymore.

Last night, SwD and A hosted a divine "Out of our Gourds" party, attended by the Swan & Kestrel, Fries, Reds & Chicken Jimmy, Cptn. American & New Girlfriend (NG), the Fox, and an old friend who will perhaps become a new friend. We'll call him...Atlas. Us ladies got beau coup tipsy and ended up intertwined in a comfortable pile of body parts and pillows on the floor.

Yesterday began with a...SPLAT...as SwD, A, and I went on a SEWER WALK with the Maryland Outdoor Club. We toured the decaying infrastructure of Baltimore City AND made friends with delightful single women. Yes, single women. Now as you know, I've taken myself off the market, but A still has the heart to look, and the pickins are SLIM.

I don't know how many times this farce has played itself out: a girlfriend comes up with a cool thing to do where MEN CAN BE MET, and apparently every other single girl in the metropolitan area has the same idea. Swing dancing, Sewer Walks, wine tastings, Hunting Club crab feasts, you name it. I meet cool single gals.

Here I am going to revert to the original mission of the blog, advice for the lone (lady) wolf. My advice: the men are all at sports bars or watching T.V. at home. Ask yourself, "do you WANT to hang out at sports bars or watch T.V. at home? No?" Then I suggest going my route and submerging your frustrated romantic desires in the FINE ARTS. Or consider batting for the other team.

Know when to hold 'em, and know when to fold 'em, girls.

  • If you are having too much wine on a Sunday morning, you might have a problem!

    Also, if you are engaging in drunken faux-lesbian exhibitionist cuddle puddles for the benefit of your onlooking male acquaintance, you might not be as off the market as you think you are.

  • No such thing! It was just comfortable. And onlooking male acquaintance is as off my market as...whale steaks in Seattle.

  • Sorry, I can't comment on any of this, so all I'll say is:

    mmm, whale steaks.

  • 'Just comfortable'? So, when you're hanging out with only the gals, do you ever find yourselves tipsy and 'intertwined in a comfortable pile of body parts and pillows on the floor'? Not for male approval and attention, but because it's just comfy that way?

    I'm not buying it.

  • Seating was limited!

  • Limited seating -- that's why it just happened to be the girls mingling in drunken concupiscence and not the guys, and not a co-ed group. Riiiighhhht.

    Because I'm so sure that if it had been a house full of dudes getting hammered, and they were getting uncomfortable with perching on the arms of the sofa and leaning against the tables, they would have totally solved the purely pragmatic problem of comfortable seating by collapsing in a pile of intertwined limbs. Not outside of W. Somerset Maugham's fantasy life they wouldn't.

    These sorts of things are only done by straight women in the presence of men.

  • You know, Dr. Y, I don't see why you would begrudge me a little exhibitionist, lesbianical floor intermingling, anyway. If that was what it was. Which it wasn't. Phbbbttt.

  • As one of the intertwined body parts, I must say it was not the presence of men (all either married or attached) that sparked the pile-on. It was the presence of 30 people with only 5 seats and the additional bonus of a skewed perspective due to high levels of imbibing. Also, jean luc petard's bosom made an excellent pillow on which I gently rested my drunken and spinning head...everybody needs a bosom for pillow, everybody needs a bosom.

  • Y'all are protesting way too much.

    By Blogger Dr Yakalumpf, PhD, at 11:10 AM  

  • And since when do attached and/or married men cease to be interested in bosoms?
