Tails of a 17th Street Geisha

I watched Sex and the City on Friday night. It was excellent! I brought 4 girls and 3 gays with me so we had fun.

It was very strange waiting outside of the movie theater before showtime, looking out for my friends who were running late. I was immersed in a sea of well-dressed, pointy-toed heels-wearing divas. So much attitude! I heard a lot of "bitch" and "no she didn’t" well… I didn’t hear these words exactly but people’s faces looked like they could have been exclaiming these words. and by "people’s" I mean, women and gay mens’s. God, people were screaming at the screen during the movie–laughing, cheering, swearing…

The Chinatown theatre was showing Sex and the City on 6 different screens at the same time and there were two lines going for the two upcoming SATC movies. I was surprised by the droning and endless rumble of shoes and chatter. There were big groups of girls all dressed up in short skirts, cleavage-y tops, and big shoes. I got a couple of compliments from people as I walked by in my big platform Fornarina’s. I dressed them up with a black skirt and hot pink halter–skanky but I was going for the "Samantha" look.

I don’t want to give away the movie, but I was a little disappointed in the ending. Shit. I’m going to stop…

So watching the movie made me think a lot about my relationships with men. I have a "burger" (immature, hot, compatible in every way but sexually) a "mr. big" (masculine, fine tastes, "bigger than life") and … gosh, I don’t know where you would put my exbf who I have the most tumultous friendship/relationship with.

There’s one exbf who i’ve been hanging out with A LOT recently and he is my favorite. He and I get along SO well and he is SO compatible with me in every way. I’m really glad he’s back in my life as a friend and I can see ourselves having a lot of fun (until one of us starts dating someone else seriously and then we could get weird?)

Anyway, I’m holding back in this blog because I keep wanting to refer back to the movie but I can’t give up plot points. All I know is that I ALREADY want to watch the movie again (which is good because a lot of my friends wanted to see it but couldn’t do Friday night) YAY!

I feel like I"m back! I’m going to go to sleep by midnight, get up at 6am, work out for 2 hours in the AM, work until 7/8 every night and FINALLY catch up on work and life.

I’m so excited!

I’m single, I’m NOT looking, I’m fine with being alone, and I’m happy that the weather is getting better. I’m almost 100% recovered from this cold and my apartment is practically perfectly clean!

yay!

I’m sick. I’ve been battling a cold all week. I’ve been trying to be careful and not to push myself. I even spent an entire day this week asleep. I even spent much of my time in Texas lounging around and keeping it light. I brought my workout clothes hoping for at least one trip to the gym with my niece Drea and Alex (it’s what Drea and I do for FUN! nothing beats a workout and sauna relaxation)

But I was sickies and there was so much drama. I’ve had a ton of drama this week–but I survive!

I’m refinancing one of my two home loans and I’m hopefully, going to get a better rate and a couple of thousand more. I’ll be sharing that with my family (more drama) but it’s for a good cause because if your sister can’t refinance her home and loan you some money when your ship is sinking, who will?

I’m currently getting used to living along in my apartment without the following:

• my dog carmelita

• my old friend Briseyda (who was my roommate for 6 months)

• my exbf Max (who used to be over ALL the time)

Okay, I’m still his friend and this DOES seem a bit mean spirited. JUST because someone owns multiple guns, enjoys hunting, and prefers (PREFERS) to live in Virginia because of gun rights, DOESN’T make them a hick. However, he DOES identify as a red-neck jew… so if the gun fits…

I’m also in a workout rut because of my cold. I have’nt been to the gym in at least a week. Yup. It’s been a week.

I’m also teaching a class at the second annual Learn-a-palooza Teaching Festival in Washington, D.C. It’s a daylong festival where people in the community sign up to teach free workshops to anyone interested in the topics which include: dance like a burlesque dancer, get out a speeding ticket, and, ahem, "Fag Hag’s Guide to DC: Finding Gays in DC." This thing goes down on May 10, www.learnapaloozadc.com

What else? I’m going to go see the special National Cathedral lights show tomorrow night. And um… I’m going to work on Sunday. Boo hoo. Everything will be better (work wise) after June 22… why? check this out:
