It’s Friday night which means Jesse’s out, the dogs are going crazy, and the only way to concentrate is with the sound machines going. Another month and it’ll be an all-day, everyday thing.

Whiskey came to greet Tom halfway down the driveway when he was taking the trash up the other day.

Nane finally friended me on Facebook – yay! And she changed her LM profile pic back to a different one of herself and also checked out my blog. She didn’t comment, but the timing pretty much tells me it was probably her. She’s in northwestern Germany in a place called Detmold, Nordrhein-Westfalen. Towards the Netherlands and not far from Mitch in Cardiff.

What’s weird is that I swear she had 43 friends when I first accepted the friend invite, but now she’s down to 39 friends.

She’s been to Turkey before as she has many travel pictures in her Facebook photo albums, doesn’t appear to be married or have kids, and I don’t think she’s ever been to the US either. She has a great body for her age and dresses very stylishly. She is classy, sexy, sophisticated and trendy. I downloaded another picture of her, so now I have two.

I guess Nane is her middle name and her full name is actually Marion Nane L. Boring!

It’s funny that she also has a friend with Maliheh’s last name. Does everyone know someone with that last name, LOL? It’s a fairly common name, so I guess it’s not much of a surprise.

The frustrating thing is not being able to understand most of her page as it’s in German and Turkish. But this – along with having such a lovely teacher – gives me more of an incentive to learn more German!

Maliheh’s back. :) She’s been in twice today that I know of.

It’s just so cool that the dream was a premonition. Now if only I could dream of being buddies with Maliheh, Tom being hired on, me winning big…

Five things come to mind when I think of the last several months – unemployment, languages, Andy, Maliheh and Nane.

Yes, I’m talking about the Maliheh I so briefly knew nearly 20 years ago, but first, after a long, stressful 22 months, and wondering at times if we were going to make it, Tom got a good-paying job as a temp worker! We hope he gets hired on and that we’re both finally insured soon enough!

I found Maliheh on Facebook now living in the southeast, played with her for a while, then felt bad for it, and also for falsely accusing her of playing with me in return on Formspring when it was really Andy. Yeah, he and I are friends again, but his timing sure sucked! He started playing with me two weeks before I sent Maliheh a less-than-kind message on Facebook which she ignored. I was so sure it was her playing with me until Andy identified himself.

Andy’s done well for himself, so I’ve been pleased to learn. He’s still single, but he has plenty of dates and has quit smoking pot and cigarettes. He also owns his own cleaning business and condo next to his mother’s condo.

Back to Maliheh. We met in a gay bar summer of 1991. I was instantly hot for her. But despite swapping numbers with her, her kissing me on the cheek, and a few phone chats, the feeling, apparently, was never mutual. Thanks to my poor choice of words, I gave her the impression I was “Dear Johning” her one time when I really did want to see her. I was just scared after being burned before. I didn’t mean to come off as I did, but it was too late, and boy did I get a hell of a nasty reaction from Maliheh! I was shocked, pissed and hurt. I admit it. And I also admit I lashed out by prank-calling her. Soon after I received a subpoena to appear in court, but the case was dismissed a few months later because I had other legal issues going on at the time of a similar nature.

Anyway, I gave Maliheh the link to my journal and began writing a story with us as lead characters where I base a fictitious future on a fact-based past, all the while what I later came to suspect was an impersonator was leaving comments about it, plus other things, but I won’t get into it in detail here right now. Now I just want to cover the main highlights of my life.

I told Maliheh that I am willing to move on, be friends, and that I hope she can forgive me and would also like to be friends, but have yet to hear from her if I ever do at all. I still have a thing for her too, and she knows it. I’m just not sure she realized how much I was attracted to her and had hoped for a relationship in the past. I guess this revelation and the story must come as a real surprise to her, but like I said, I have yet to hear from her.

Marie and I are done. Or better yet, I’m done with her. I will always love and remember her and wish the best for her, but I just couldn’t deal with her anymore. She stopped communicating with me when her obsession turned to some girl in Texas. When they “broke up,” she tried to focus back on me but I wouldn’t answer her calls. I just can’t deal with the way she’d overwhelm me with so much attention, her moods, her paranoia, her false accusations, etc.

My current cyber crush (besides Maliheh) is Nane, a woman in Germany I met on the language site who has given me more of an incentive to further my German. Having a good-looking teacher helps, LOL. I’m continuing to polish up my Italian and Portuguese and hope to one day be as fluent as I am in Spanish. I’m also learning Esperanto, might go back and learn more French, and still hope to learn Hawaiian.

Nane and I are friends on Facebook, but I’d say the attraction part is as non-mutual as it is with Maliheh unless either of them ever tells me differently, LOL.

We recently got a wonderful rat I named Tinkerboy. He is dark brown and loads of fun just like Tinkerbell was. He’s very smart and friendly and definitely one of the fastest rats we ever had! He loves running around loose and climbing all over us.

I am still cyber pals with Mitch and Alison, as well as a girl named Kim, but haven’t heard from Dorian. He seemed to disappear when he left this site.
