Everyone says yes
I'm finding myself in a somewhat unusual position. I actually have two women who are interested in pursuing things with me. Helen and I are giving things a try to see what happens. Meantime Sarah is deciding that she's interested as well. She wanted me to go home with her on Friday. I'm proud to say I didn't. I'd promised Helen that I wouldn't sleep with anyone else till we'd decided what was happening between us. And she'd never have known, but I didn't, anyway. Hey for integrity. [Insert bitter comment here about other people who claim to be in love but sleep with someone else anyway].
Anyway, Friday night was great. Went to 24 Hour Party People at
Indigo. For a long time it looked like it was going to be a bad night - it was Monique's last night in town and we were all supposed to be going out, but we couldn't get our plans together, and we were worried that some of us couldn't pay the cover charge at Indigo. All was eventually well - we hit the bar early and avoided the cover charge (they probably made it back from us in beer, anyway). Sat around talking for a while, and eventually started dancing. Whole bunch of us there, Drake and Casey, Monique and Wai, Sarah, plus Rob (Drake's flatmate) turned up with some friends. And we made friends with an English couple who were sitting next to us. All in all, very good. Took some Frenzy (shared it with Sarah, she seemed to like it). We were talking for ages, ended up kissing a bit, went dancing as well. I talked the ear off a German guy about football, and the English girl about whatever I could think of, mainly the Birmingham music scene. Got home at about 4am after convincing Sarah that I wasn't going to take a Bill Clinton interpretation of sex (in other words, I turned down no-obligation oral sex. This may be some kind of record). Stayed up till 5 unable to sleep posting stupid things on the internet. Very entertaining.
Slept most of Saturday, went round to Helen's, watched Adaptation and Pi. She hated Pi, didn't mind Adaptation, her flatmate hated that though. Here's my problem (and this sounds horrible). I want someone who shares my tastes in art and film and music and stuff. And she doesn't (although she wants to go to the Tracey Emin exhibition, which is something - I'm quite a big fan of Emin's work). Where's Jane when I need her? Or even Cory or Sarah at least had good taste in film, if not music. Or Adele, for that matter. OK, I'm a snob. But dammit these things are important.
