20 minutes in heaven.

But not in the closet. Melanie called! She got my fax, but hadn't checked her voicemail yet. We talked some about camp -- she's unfortunately sick, which is part of the reason she called -- and she seemed to be doing ok. I like her stories about the drama campers. It's like this weird blend of my music church camp experience and an episode of Daria. I also told her about my date on Saturday, and she was intrigued and I told her all the dirt. She said she definitely wanted to know how it turns out, and hopefully we might get to talk this weekend.


One thing I'm sort of worried about is having an experience with this guy, but then not having an ability to reconnect with my primary partner. One thing that I think was beneificial in the fall when Melanie went to Michigan, was that we talked about the afternoon after it happened, and then we basically reconnected physically and emotionally. So I think it helped a lot. But I worry that it might be more stressful since we're far away. But at least I'm seeing her next weekend, so that won't be too big of a gap. And if we do get a chance to talk, that will help.

But, back to date planning....
He lives in DesPlaines (what's up with queer guys in the suburbs?!?!), so I'm thinking I'll meet him in Evanston which is closer to him, just as close to me as downtown, and is familiar territory so I'll feel comfortable. I also decided to be all stalker-y and do a reverse lookup of his phone number. It's listed as James S Th____. But he told me he was "Chris". Then again, when one reverse looks up my number, it's listed as A J Johnson, so I can't really front on him. Ok, so now I've experienced enough excitement and intrigue and I'm going to return to my regularly scheduled boring life.

I might even start packing for Cape Cod this weekend. I need to bring a dressy outfit in case we go out to dinner, so I'll probably end up trying on all my new shirts to decide which to bring. I also wish I had another pair of nice shoes that aren't as dressy as my black ones. Maybe I'll hit Payless this weekend. AND I need to come up with some sort of swimming attire. I have the shorts, but I want to find the right t-shirt/binding combination that will be comfortable and not make me too self-conscious. A certain amount is expected, but I don't want to be miserable on the beach. I might not do too much hardcore swimming -- more playing in the water and possibly going out on the boat. I might pull out my futuro binder thing, pair it with the frog, pick a t-shirt, then jump in the shower and see how I look wet.

Stop laughing.

These are the tranny moments that you don't realize come with the package.

Ok, enough rambling -- I'm going to go eat.

I think I asked you about evanston, but I don't know if I actually told you about where/when I lived there. I went to Northwestern so I was living near campus for 4 years, but lived an extra year post-graduation in south Evanston, near Main/Hinman. Last year I finally moved into the city of Chicago.
