rather large pain in me golovo
Nov. 9th, 2002 01:29 amIt's not good that I missed work today. Yes, I had a headache, but it was largely self-induced.
Went to the erotic poetry night hosted by Alex's wife at Mythique. She is celebrating the publication of her book Sex Noir by Circlet Press. I read a couple of short pieces and saw a few friends and acquaintences, including![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mistressofnola. Also, I finally met J and Alex's new boyfriend B. I wasn't able to get much of a read on him; he is the "dark, handsome, broody" type and exchanged about two sentences with me the whole evening. J seems very wrapped up in him, but since I barely heard him say anything at all I have no idea what the attraction is (beyond the physical).
I spent much of the evening in conversation with an interesting young woman who had claimed to lived to date a very interesting life -- widely traveled, carefree, bohemian. She had a vibrant personality and was physically stunning, with short thick wild black hair, dark olive skin, and a curvy figure. Alex was intent on trying to touch her, to which she responded with an interesting cat-and-mouse game of evasion and come-hither body language. It's a good thing for me she was out of my league, I didn't worry about making a big testosterone fool out of myself, and this in turn apparently made my company enjoyable for her.
Honestly, I enjoy being able to spend an evening around someone so vibrant without having to deal with the jarring throb of an overwhelming libido. Being past my 20's isn't such a bad thing.
