Well, it's about 4:30 AM, and just about everyone has gone to sleep.
I don't know why I haven't gone to sleep. I wish I could. My mind is racing. My mind is always racing. Always thinking, analyzing, planning, sorting, etc.
The past few days have not really been a whole lot different than the past few weeks. I come down to Denver every Thursday. I stay in Denver for the weekend if I can. And every weekend I stay in Denver, I manage to become involved in some sort of drama. Usually not directly, but it manages to take
some form.
Tonight, for example, was fairly dramatic. "Big Red" got trashed, and I took care of her for the most part. To be honest, I am pretty worried about her. I noticed some fairly serious issues, and it concerns me. I know she has some issues, and I know that they are pretty serious ones. I just hope that she can get some help if/when she needs it.
I tend to forget how much effort goes into taking care of someone who's drunk, until I have to do it again. A big "Thanks!" goes out to all of those of you who have taken care of me. Momma and Nic are the two that come to mind. I love you!
Also, Nic seems to be having some familial conflict. We all have it, and we all seem to get through it, but I know that there were certain events tonight that hurt him. I completely empathize with him though.
Aside from all the Pueblo drama tonight, I have also been thinking about Mr. TDH and I, and how Nic and Mr. Anaconda are in similar situations. For the past few weeks, I have been telling myself to just stop trying, and let things happen. It really isn't that easy though. Mr. Anaconda blogged tonight, and I agree with most everything he said.
So now I turn in my mind to wondering about the situation more than a couple of us have found ourselves in. The situation can be summed up as two people liking one and other, but there being an external reason for why one can't be with the other. Maybe it is a fear of messing up in the future and loosing that person forever, maybe it is a circumstance where the other person feels that to much is being expected and asked of them, it could even be that they just aren't ready to commit to one person and maybe never will be. I think about all of these things and it makes me want to talk, to figure out, to explore if there is a way to bring these issues into an arena that would cancel them out like reciprical fractions.
Mr. Anaconda and I are
very similiar when it comes to the whole "want to talk, to figure out, to explore" thing. I think it's just because we appreciate 100% honesty, and we need some sort of closure. An ending. A result. Something.
Over the past few days, I have done some thinking about Mr. TDH and I. I have thought about the dynamic between us, our conversations, his coversations with others, etc. After hearing everything, I have come to the conclusion, that for the time being, I can not see him as often as in the past.
In the beginning, we would chat every so often online. Then I started meeting up with him at the club. Not too much later, we were going on "dates". Lunches, dinners, movies, clubs, parties, shopping, etc. To a normal person, this would appear to be dating. Minus any sort of intimate contact; and no, I don't mean sex. With any other boy, I may have lost interest. Not with him though. There's something special about him.
On top of everything else, I heard from a source that Mr. TDH is basically "all or nothing". He is either in a committed relationship, or he is 100% asexual. I don't know how much I believe that, but that's beside the point. Apparently, he can't decide between being single or being in a relationship with me. At first I was flattered. The mere idea of
possibly dating him made me happy. Then I started to think about it some more, and I was not so flattered. I thought about what I would do if I was in his shoes, and the decision was pretty fucking simple.
I must move on. I plan on keeping Mr. TDH as a friend, and would be devestated if I ever lost him as that for any reason. I need some boundaries though. I need to see him no more than I see my other friends. I need to dance with him like I dance with my other friends. I need to do "friend" things with him; preferably group things. I am not being this way to be hurtful, or to be a bitch, or for any other reason than to protect myself. I know that if we were to continue the way we were, I could potentially be crushed in the end.
Nic is "setting me up" with some guy from Fort Collins tonight, I believe. I don't know exactly how I feel about that. I am not fond of being set up in general, but especially at the club, in my current situation. Here's hoping nothing tragic happens tonight.
Summer is here, and I am fucking ready for it. The sun, the fun. The noise, the boys. I need to kick the flirting into high gear, and find myself a summer fling. Oh yeah, and get drunk!
15 days til Pride!
