It’s Funny

I need some kind of intellectual stimulation to get turned on. The person can be cute as hell, but unless there’s some kind of intellectual engagement, I’m just not interested in any more more than cuddling.

I need someone who challenges me.

Smart, witty guys are really fucking hot.

The rest I could take or leave.

Not that cute isn’t a great bonus, mind you, but the hottest sex I’ve ever had was with somebody who’d look me in the eye and take me on. Physically – in a literally powerful way in that we were pretty evenly matched in strength and the power of our desires – and intellectually – in his ability to question, challenge, and engage on every level.

And that’s a really tough combination to find.

Song of the Day

…. the lyrics of which were IM’d to me by the Not-Boyfriend, for some brain-addled reason. Sometimes I think he doesn’t make connections in his head about why he sends me stuff like this.

Oh well. It’s a good song, in any case.

Buckcherry – “Sorry”

Oh I had alot to say
Was thinking on my time away
I missed you and things weren’t the same
‘Cause everything inside it never comes out right
And when I see you cry it makes me wanna die.

I’m sorry I’m bad, I’m sorry you’re blue
I’m sorry about all the things I said to you
And I know I can’t take it back
I love how you kiss, I love all your sounds
And baby the way you make my world go ’round
And I just wanted to say I’m sorry.

This time I think I’m to blame
It’s harder to get through the days
We get older and blame turns to shame
‘Cause everything inside it never comes out right
And when I see you cry it makes me wanna die.

I’m sorry I’m bad, I’m sorry you’re blue
I’m sorry about all the things I said to you
And I know I can’t take it back
I love how you kiss, I love all your sounds
And baby the way you make my world go ’round
And I just wanted to say I’m sorry.

Every single day I think about how we came all this way
The sleepless nights and the tears you cried
It’s never too late to make it right
Oh yeah sorry

I’m sorry I’m bad, I’m sorry you’re blue
I’m sorry about all the things I said to you
And I know I can’t take it back
I love how you kiss, I love all your sounds
And baby the way you make my world go ’round
And I just wanted to say I’m sorry.
I’m sorry baby.
I’m sorry baby, Yeah.
I’m sorry.

Conversations with my Coworkers

Coworker 1: “Wow, Kameron I like your new haircut! It’s really… edgy.”

Me: “Edgy?” If someone would have said this in any other place in the world but Dayton, OH I’d think it was a compliment.

Coworker 2: “No, it’s really great! It fits you really well. I mean, you’re not normal. I mean, a usual sort of person, so it really fits you. It’s very hip and edgy!”

Me: ….?

Edgy. My haircut is “edgy.”

General consensus is that the haircut is, indeed, a good one, but it does make me look a lot more like a young, hip professional. It’s short and highlighted, and add that to the naturally curly crazy effect, and I look like I should be painting huge canvases with buckets of pain downtown or walking around at art shows with glasses of wine in hand.

Ok, so, I did go walk around an art gallery last night on date #3, but that’s beside the point.

Yeah, I suppose the haircut suits me.

The Apartment Hunt is Over!

Got my new digs a few hops from the The Greene (no, not *at* The Greene as some of my coworkers believe. I can’t afford to live *at* The Greene). I now have a “Beavercreek” address instead of a “Dayton” address, which I think also makes me feel better.

One bedroom, dishwasher, air conditioning, balcony, onsite laundry. The only drawback is that it’s more than I wanted to spend and no utilities are included. My commute also goes from 15 min to 35 min.

But, yo: it’s my own place! It’s big! It has a walk-through closet!

The first month is free. I sign and pick up the keys on the 12th. Photos to follow shortly thereafter.

April

There have been a lot of seriously not funny April Fool’s jokes today.

The one at work was the least funny of all.

Stop, people. Just stop. When you’ve had a lot of wacky, crazy shit happen to you over a very brief period of time, you’re primed for more wacky badness. It’s like mild PTSD.

I don’t like it. I start getting jumpy and twitchy.

Please stop.

Thank you.

As the World Turns

My parents worked for a local PNW (Pacific Northwest) burger chain, Burgerville, for 25 years. They were both fired about ten years ago within 24 hours of each other during a big muckity-much shakeup.

For the last five years or so, my dad has owned a Pizza Schmizza franchise, also a local chain.

Today, my mom sent me this e-mail:

“Yesterday Figaro’s Pizza bought out Pizza Schmizza and
today Starbucks bought Burgerville.”

Damn.

It’s a changing world, yo.
