Time Flies

Well he is gone. Homophobic narrow-minded person left today go back home to Houston. Yesterday we were supposed to get together. He was to drop off my green car and then go to dinner and a movie with me. I kept telling him we would go see Brokeback Mountain. He adamantly refused to see it, even if I paid for it. Unfortunately though I was sick all day so I had to canceled our plans.

Today we planned to grab some lunch before he left town. He was supposed to call me before he came over. Typical man! He just showed up while I was still sleeping. He claimed he was too busy packing up to leave to call me. There I was with my hair all over the place still in my pajamas. I ran to throw on some clothes before I let him in my apartment.

He finally brought me my Valentine's gift. I had asked him last night if it really existed since he kept conveniently forgetting to give it to me. He assured me that is did. Turns out it he bought me this wonderful candle and incense set. I loved it. My first instinct was to thank him with a hug & a kiss on the cheek but I didn't. I down played my appreciation. I did not want to give him the wrong idea.

He asked me if I still wanted to get lunch. I told him of course. So he volunteered to wait for me to take a quick shower. He was pretty tired anyway and wanted to take a little nap before hitting the road. Seems he has been staying up late almost every night watching 24. I lent him the first season. He bought the second season, rented the third and I decided to lend him the fourth season which I have not even watched yet. Talk about obsessed. I told him he could NEVER tease me again about my addiction to TV.

So while I went to take a shower, he fell asleep on one of my sofas holding the fourth season of 24 against his chest. I got ready in record time and hated to wake him up. Poor guy had dark circles under his eyes and looked so exhausted, but he did it to himself. Of course I can understand why. I was the same way with Queer As Folk.

So we decided to get Mexican food for lunch. I planned to take him to an On The Boarder near the campus where he was staying. Sadly I discovered that they turned it into a Wells Fargo. We ended up at a place called 7 Salsas. There was a small wait but the food was great, inexpensive too. I told him that he was rather pleasant to be around when he doesn't talk about politics. Of course that made him want to talk about politics. So I asked him about the whole Bush and port issue.

He tried to pay for the check but I refused. I gave him my half of the meal in cash while he paid with a credit card. I then dragged him with me to Cingular to buy myself a new earpiece for my cell. Oliver chewed up my other one. Afterwards I dropped him off back on campus. We hugged good bye and I drove off to work.

I sent him a text message saying I missed him already. He responded with a lecture about me driving in the rain while texting him at the same time. I told him I was talented like that. He told me I was over-confident and deserved to get into an accident. I then told him I changed my mind and don't miss him after all.

But that was not entirely true. I liked having him around. It reminded me of all my guy friends in high school. Some I had crushes on and others I just liked being around. Females can be too superficial and judgmental. They can also be jealous and petty. Male friends tend to be much simpler.

So he is back in Houston. The last thing he told me was that while I was in the shower Oliver confessed to him that he was a Republican. That Oliver is thinking about leaving me to stay with him. I told him not to lie about my baby. He said Oliver does not believe in cat food hand outs. He earns his food by walking around looking cute and showing me his belly. I responded that I needed a refund.
