Lobster or leftovers

My buddy says that women and work are like dinner: it's either lobster or leftovers. You're either riding high or scrounging just to get by. Nothing could be more true. Actually, he also says "Women are like buses, they are all the same, and a new one comes along every ten minutes." They seem a little contradicting, so let's ignore the second saying for now, I will use it another time.

Yesterday afternoon I was sitting at my desk when my personal cell phone (as opposed to my work cell) rang with a number I didn't recognize. Normally that sucker would have gone right to VM, but I was expecting a call from a contractor, and I have a new high-maintenance tenant, so I thought it could have been important. When I picked up I immediately recognized the voice, it was Lavita, the tattoo chick from Saturday night.

Lavita: I am calling this girl Lavita because it's similar to her real name, which I think adds to the overall wackiness of her that really needs to be conveyed. Lavita is probably around my age, 5'5", dark hair, light skin, great body, and artsy. She wears black square-framed glasses, which give a kind of nerdy vibe. But they are offset but tons of tattoos that are anything but nerdy. She has a huge dragon that covers most of her back, both arms have big pieces, she has one covering her left breast that runs up her chest towards her neck, and a few more here and there. They are hard-core, not your typical tramp stamp on the lower back ("might as well be a bulls-eye"), but they are still somehow feminine. Lavita is a graphic designer, though I am not sure in what capacity. Oh yeah, she's bi.

Lavita and I talked at the bar on Saturday night. This was before Kay and I talked, and I was still fairly certain I was being blown off, so I was on the prowl. Lavita and I struck up a conversation at the bar, danced a bit, and sat outside while she smoked cigarettes. At the end of the night I said "OK, I've had enough, I'm going home, care to join me?". The look on her face was really funny, it was very serious, but emotionless, and she said "You are a very attractive guy, but I am not going home with you.". She then handed me her phone and just said "Put in your number".

Based on her look, and a few other cues from the night, this girl would be BUCK WILD in bed. I am sure she would teach me things that never would have even crossed my mind. So I am intrigued.

Anyway, Lavita called me and we shot the shit for a few minutes. I told her I would call her later this week, but I don't think I am going to. However, I may keep her on a back burner in case things don't work out with Kay.

Kristi, a girl that I met at a golf tournament in June emailed me last night. About every two weeks we email each other and suggest we get together for happy hour, but we never follow-through on this. Kristi has a bunch of single friends she wants to hook me up with, but they all live out in Dulles. I've seen some pictures, they are all these super-tall, super beautiful blond sorority-looking-chicks. But fuck, Dulles? Really? I hate crossing Dupont circle because of the traffic, how would I ever motivate to go all the way the hell out to Dulles?

Lastly, I have two new Facebook stalkers. I need to get off that site, it's more trouble than it's worth.

Trying to put all this out of my head. I have had three dates with Kay, two of which I cooked her dinner. We are going to try and get together tonight for dinner, but I think it's time I took her out someplace. I will see if there's a place she's been wanting to go to and take her there. Also, she's dog-sitting for friends this weekend, so I may go stay with her since she will be "in lockdown".

    Wow. Just wow. I guess the same can be said for men, too. Or really, all humans are the same. There, that's better.

    You really have no respect for us, do you?
