Just had to smile today because I have six wonderful men in my life, friends I've met through work, my vanilla life, and my kinky life. All of them non-judgemental and kind to a fault. I'm doing something right!

You Sexy Thing

At the end of my travels from South Carolina to DC, after the Amtrak sleeper car, baggage claim at Union Station, the transfer between train lines at Metro Center, right before the doors opened at the end of line, as I was standing up positioning my baggage so I could leave the train, a man rushed up to me.  With sweetness and urgency he said, "Have a wonderful New Year and enjoy your trip!"

I looked at him and said, "Oh, thanks. You too."

Then I started thinking, this is really weird.  My seat was at the end of the car, past the door, so there was no reason for him to have come over there. When the train stopped and the doors opened, he sat down a few seats away.

Why isn't he getting off the train? Is he a MWATA employee?  They really aren't that nice and besides he's wearing a Redskins hat.  Oh, is he getting so close to me so he can take my bag? Then why is he staring and smiling?  So I walked on past him and as I was almost out the door, I heard, "You sexy thing."

Are you talking to me?? For real??

Maybe he said "You forgot your ring" or  "You saw your sling."

This noteworthy because this sort of thing is happening quite a bit.  I have lost 5 pounds. I look pretty decent when I wear my hair down and I've got something reasonably flattering on. Not bragging, but I do get some looks.

It is also noteworthy because I could have taken care of the pesky virginity issue this afternoon if I heard him correctly, and I didn't mind the tight quarters of a bathroom stall. Eww. No way.  It will have to be a good guy friend that I respect and trust, and who respects and cares for me as well. It doesn't have to be love at all, but it has to be something.

Anyway, I kinda like not feeling so invisible.

Savage Love on Weed

Oh Savages. What can I say?

I don't like violent movies but I made an exception for Savages because I liked the cast (Blake Lively, Salma Hayek, Benicio Del Toro).  A bigger factor for me was that Blake Lively's character, O, has two boyfriends. Did you say two boyfriends?  Yeah I did.

=============

In the middle of a therapy session, my therapist burst out, "Oh, there's a movie you have to see!"

I said, " Savages?"

"Yes!"

I'm in there regularly talking about my adventures in kink, and how I've met these people, but they aren't contacting me anymore and what does that mean, and should I care, and people set up their relationships in such interesting ways, I see all this variety and people seem happy, etc. I may have mentioned once or twice that it would be interesting to have two boyfriends.

So she thought of me when she saw this movie.  Good or bad?  Not sure.

==============

I wondered how Savages would treat the relationship between Ben, O, and Chon.  I was concerned it would be a drama-filled sex-frenzied whirlwind of chaos and destruction.  To my suprise it was the exact opposite.  Inside the relationship was love and calm.  Outside, everyone was double crossing everyone else, cutting deals, and slitting throats. The only people who didn't sell each other out to the highest bidder were these three.

==============

There was only one love scene with all three of them together.  I was the most tame in the movie, no skin, just kissing, but to me it was by far the most arousing. And that was because of the weed.

Out on the patio each takes a hit from a bong.  Someone looks into someone elses eyes and they start touching. Chon rubs his hand along O's bangles. This is one of the hottest parts, because not only are they making out, they are making out high. That touch on her arm would be exquisite not because pot heightens the senses, necessarily, but it quiets down the monkey mind. All the stuff going on in her brain would cease for a while and she would simply focus on the sensation of a hand running up her arm.  I'm not sure if it feels better so you focus more, or because you can focus on one thing it feels more intense.  Either way, if a touch on her arm is exquisite, imagine the mind-blowing potential of a touch, lick or slap in a much more sensitive area.

I don't know if  they intended the viewer to bring all this to the movie, but that's what I picked up and man that scene was hot.  I shifted in my seat a little.

==============

I saw it for a second time mostly so I could stare at Ben (Aaron Johnson).  I'm such a sucker for the long-hair-scruffy-beard thing on guys. I like all kinds of men, trust me, but this kind of look is UTP bait.

Tie me to the mast of a ship, or so help me I'll see it for a 3rd time. MUST WAIT FOR DVD.
