Pick Up Artist?

L. said that I should research how to be a pick up artist for tips on juggling several men at once. I did google the term and everything seems to relate to men's perspectives! My only other real influence is Samantha on SATC. But I'll keep looking. So far things are working out. Spent time w/DA on Sunday, Monday, and last nite and Stefano will be tomorrow night when DA is working at his waiter job. DA keeps telling me he loves me and everytime he does my heart melts, though I am still not willing to say it back yet. Cuz truthfully while I am very fond of him I don't love him currently. We had a good time last night tho'; he came over after I got home from Job#2 and he wanted to take me out to eat before we went to see the Mighty Orq play but I of course was having none of that since I am still working on being as thin as possible and all these holiday parties with all this food is wreaking havoc with my "slimagineering" to quote Tito J. So he made mac and cheese at my house and I settled in with a glass of coconut rum in my new tumblers I won at Job #1's White Elephant gift party yesterday. We then headed out to the Orq and Stefano had told me about these frozen drinks they have at this particular venue, but I couldn't remember which drink he recommended so I had a frozen Cuba Libre! DA paid for it which was a good thing b/c I kept joking around that although he's low on funds these days (and is looking for a better-paying waiter job) that if I had to pay for my own drinks he would not be getting laid later!

Speaking of which, I guess I'm being a little reckless in that regard. DA didn't use a condom last nite and Stefano has never used one with me (then again, I'm not sure they make condoms that big). My friends are scolding me about this crazy behavior and Tito J. even gave me a bunch of condoms and lube (but the condoms he gave me are too small for both my guys!). Then again JR and I never used them, and I didn't use them with anyone else I've brought home recently either. CRAZY!!! I know.

Rehearsal tonite, the last one before we record the CD on Sunday. Jesus, I really wish I had time to practice some cool bass lines on my own but I simply do NOT. Not with all this dating and rehearsing w/the band and work and then I'm headed to DFW on Saturday for Boof's 40th birthday party celebration. It's gonna suck having to get up early on Sunday in order to get back to Houston by 1pm to meet the guys at the studio. DA says he wants to come over on Sunday night which I said was fine. I invited him to come to this anarchist bookstore thing with me on Monday night, which is one of the things I love about him, that he's into books/reading. Hell, he's an English major at UH, which is awesome! Also that he's available to come to these things w/me during the week so I don't have to go alone! Tuesday night will be a holiday cousin tea, with my li'l bro and our 2 cousins. Wednesday night DA has said he'll come over and cook for me and he'll bring some boxes and we can tackle the 2nd bedroom so that J. can continue work asap. This was actually his idea even though it's something I've been meaning to do, and I told him I will totally appreciate the help but more importantly, the emotional support. S's baby mama actually called me on Tues. morning to ask for an update on my divorce situation, but I told her I had none. She asked me to please not throw any of her daughter's stuff out and I said I would never, ever do that. I asked about her daughter, how she was doing in school and everything, and she said that she's still not paying attention in class and is still in counseling. SIGH. I still care... obviously, huh? Shit.

Honestly though, I have been the happiest lately that I've been in years. My 2 men are constantly after me to spend time with them and are both constantly telling/texting me how "hot" and "gorgeous" and "amazing" I look/am and this is music to my ears since S never told me that--literally. They both say they're great cooks and both want to cook for me, again something I haven't had in years! Stefano will be first on Saturday morning before I leave town, and DA of course will be next Wednesday! I am having so much fun with the attention and the cherishing, and they are both sooo awesome to sleep (slumber) with, as they both are into holding me all night long, kissing my face, hair, shoulders, etc. And of course all of this incredible sex is some of the best exercise I could ask for, as well as being the only exercise that fits into my schedule! There is nothing stressful about dating either of them, we're all just having fun and letting the good times roll. I am also totally enjoying playing in the band and it's so much fun being a rock star again, having people fawn over you and want to meet you, etc. I am enjoying not thinking about the future and taking a break from being Super Extreme Planner Adela. That was a concept Brandone suggested to me, to not make ANY PLANS until an arbitrary date, say, March 1, and though it was a mind-blowing concept I decided it was just what I needed to try and he was so right.
