... I have a secret crush :-) ...
Saturday, November 18, 2006
My gals and I (collectively known as Uber-Glam) tend to say and do some wild, outlandish, flat out hilarious things on a regular basis. I decided to chronicle the madness and add the weekly segment, "Great Moments in Uber-Glam History", to the blog. Aside from things I've said, I'm not going to attribute the quotes to anyone specific because I don't want to put them out there, lol. Trust me, I couldn't make some of this stuff up if I wanted to. Enjoy the first installment:
- "He just looks like he has a LOT of unprotected sex. Like, he just don't give a fuck..."
- "[Dirty Jerzey] looks like he jerks off every single night"
- "He looks like sex on a stick"
- "You need to find yourself a stomach-free stallion"

I need to stop listening to freaky songs while it's raining, because somehow I always end up reminiscing about the past. It almost makes me want to call Broken Glass and say (as Dirty Jerzey so eloquently put it), "Remember that time we sexed? Yeah, let's do that again..." {sigh} Almost...I think the rain really has me going right now because I've been giddy about the lovely weekend I spent in New York with Big Business. I decided to be a big girl and sneak off to see him without telling anyone where I was really going. Why? Because I knew that the girls would interrogate me and that Grandma would not be pleased at the thought of me fraternizing with a man overnight. Was it spontaneous? Yes. Kinda risky? Yes. Out of character? Yes. Do I regret doing it? No, at least not right now
Anywho, Big Business picked me up at the bus station and from there we went to his place in Newark. We caught up with each other on the way there and he even checked if my nails were real (don't ask, but I let him know that not a damn thing on me is made of plastic *hee hee*). I would like to think that he was excited to spend some time with the voice on the other end of the phone, at least he told me he was. He was a gentleman for the most part, even though he didn't carry my heavy ass overnight bag. I figure I'd let that small indescrestion slide. By the time we got to his place we were both tired so we decided to "turn in" for the night. Before you all start freaking out, we did NOT have "relations" that night. What did we do? Eh, maybe a little kiss here, maybe a little kiss there. Nice girls don't tell that information ;-)
The next day we hoofed it to Brooklyn and hit this Carribean spot for an early dinner (big ups to the Brawta Cafe on Atlantic Avenue. The service was horrible but the food was to die for). For some reason my nerves began to kick in while we were dining. I always get this way when a new guy comes into the picture. I get so scared and nervous that I either resort to the ol' "giggle & jiggle" or I let my playful demenor subside completely. All in all I usually end up looking like a total ditz. I started fiddling with the flower arrangement on the table before I admitted to him the I was nervous, then he kind of just looked at me and smiled & chuckled, which made me even more nervous. I'm sure that gassed his ego up quite a bit. After we ate we hit the Brooklyn Bridge and the promenade. Sadly that brought back memories of going there with Song Cry last year. The nostalgia was getting to me a bit because I wanted Big Business to hold my hand, wrap his arms around me as we strolled down Clark Street, all that cute couple-y stuff. I immediately reminded myself that Big Business and I are nowhere near the level that Song Cry and I were last year, but I think he finally caught on to all the hints I dropped him and draped his arm around me as we sat and looked out on the Manhattan skyline.
We left Brooklyn and headed for Times Square where we topped the night off with a kati roll and ice cream from Cold Stone before going back to Jersey (be a fatty and get the Apple Pie a la Cold Stone ASAP). It was cute, we had two spoons and everything. We even made a brief stop into an "adult entertainment" store. Good times were had by all. We were both so tired on the way back that we rode in comfortable silence on the PATH train. I was so utterly content with my visit, but all the while I had everything The Editor told me in the back of my mind. Was I the only girl he was thinking about? I had to be, I brought my ass all the way to New York to spend time with him. I refuse to play the fool again, so even though I'm excited about the possiblities this has I'm keeping my eyes open. I have no choice but to.
On a beauty related note, I am SO excited about the limited edition Sephora Monopoly game. It's available in select Sephora locations as well as online. I think this would make a fabulous Christmas gift for the beauty junkie in your life *hint hint http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P168712&searchString=monopoly*...;-)

So, I decided to unofficially go off my self-imposed strike against the male species and start talking to someone new. I know I know, you’re probably thinking, “oh lord, here we go again”. Skeptics take heed, this one’s a little different:
Big Business hit me up on facebook (the root of all evil) shortly after homecoming. He’s a recent HU alum, and he now works out of New York while working on his master's. A real cutie pie, baby-faced and bronze (just like yours truly). After sending me his digits along with a note telling me to get at him with my “fine self”, I knew it was time for a background check. I saw that The Editor was listed as one of our mutual friends, so I figured I’d see what he had to say about his boy. Needless to say The Editor didn’t give Big Business rave reviews. Apparently there was an issue between the two about the fact that Big Business, ahem, “knew” The Editor’s ex just shortly before she started dating The Editor (the other side of this story is quite interesting, but more on that later). There was also talk of Big Business just being an all around d-o-g during his time at Howard, which of course originally deterred me from accepting his advances. The last thing I really needed was another chauvinistic asshole to add to my collection. Unfortunately this did nothing but spark my curious nature, so I decided to give him my number anyway against The Editor’s wishes. What can I say? I’m a hard-headed brat ;-)
My initial phone conversations with Big Business were flirtatious and a bit suggestive, which led me to believe that he was just after my goodies like almost every other guy I encounter online or otherwise. I thought it was kinda thirsty when he first called me while he was at work. He wondered why he hadn’t seen me on campus just before playfully stating that he would have scooped me up long ago if he had. He affectionately called me his “Computer Love” and asked me if I believed that I could fall for someone after talking to them for just 2 minutes. Yeah…he was laying it on THICK. At first I wasn’t going to pay him any mind after hearing what The Editor had to say about him. I don’t know if this is bad but at first I kinda just liked hearing him talk, his voice is hella sexy. I think he soon realized that I wasn’t just some brainless, buxom floozy after I made a few witty retorts and began to have deeper conversations with him. I came out and told him about my issues with my father and how that has affected my love life, and it didn’t even scare him away. He admitted that he did his dirt back in the day, but he’s so focused on his career now that he can't to have a frivolous fling with some random “big booty freak” (his words, not mine). Quite honestly I think we became the opposite of what we expected of each other. If he really was the guy The Editor claimed he was 2 years ago, only time will tell if I’ll be able to teach this old dog some new tricks.
I respect Big Business for being upfront with me. He likes what he sees, and I can’t blame the man for having great taste *wink*. I’ve always had a thing for men with a certain bravado. He has a sexy confidence about him and I love a man who knows what he wants, it saves me the trouble of figuring it out myself. I just don’t want to get too hyped up about all this because I know I’m going to begin developing this fairy tale image in my mind as I always do. You see, my imagination doesn’t just run away with me: it hops on a private G-5, sips on Dom P, goes on a marathon shopping spree in Paris, and drinks tea with The Queen. Any one who knows me will tell you that my heart has never understood the concept of moderation.
This situation is most refreshing to me because took each other by surprise because we have been open and honest with each other from the jump. More importantly there are no obligations. All our cards are laid out on the table, so there’s no room for bluffing. Not since Song Cry have I been able to open up freely to a man and just be myself. I make him laugh and he makes me smile. That’s something I really haven’t done in quite some time. I think I have him about as curious as he has me at this point. Could this be love at first key stroke? Eh…I wouldn’t go that far, at least not yet.
The best thing for us to do right now is to just take things slow. I’m still getting Broken Glass out of my system, and he’s about 4 months out of his last relationship. We’re working on trying to fit in some in person quality time before I head home for the semester. We even toyed with the idea of spending New Year’s Eve with together in Times Square. I’m going to try my best not to get too caught up this time around, but quite honestly I’m intrigued and I want to see where this goes. Curiosity may have killed the cat, but I’ve still got about six lives left. Let’s go little kitty cat…
Big Business hit me up on facebook (the root of all evil) shortly after homecoming. He’s a recent HU alum, and he now works out of New York while working on his master's.
