Gomeroke, hibernation, various points between...

So, last night was wicked fun. I didn’t think that the birthday party of, essentially, a new friend (who shall heretofore be known as RPGirl,) would be nearly that entertaining, especially given Orpheus’ general feelings of malaise over the last few days. When I got home from work, yesterday, he was still napping, and smelled like a barn, as mildly ill sleeping grown-ups tend to do. He was well-rested, however, and we watched a little TV while I made a snack of bacon and martinis. After that, he showered, and I got to pull my very special trick on him, which led to long-overdue (and wholly welcome), if not overtly spectacular, sex. We bundled up and drove downtown, on the way nabbing more lube, and eventually reached the Roman Candle, a pizza joint on the near-East side where the initial leg of the birthday celebration took place.

It was a good group, mostly grad students. Even though O. didn’t talk much, he did speak more than at most gatherings of people my age, which was encouraging. He declined to follow us to the High Noon Saloon, as he was feeling tired, so I dropped him off at his place, and continued on to Gomeroke (a band called the Gomers provides live backing for Karaoke). It was fuckin’ hot. I got a free drink ticket during the first set for my smokin’ rendition of ‘Sweet Transvestite,’ even inspiring the birthday girl (RPGirl,) to sing ‘Tainted Love’ in the process… And she’s never even done Karaoke once before! I had a great time. When I returned to Orpheus’ place, he was somewhat recovered, and happily popped in an episode of the Dame Edna Experience, which he’d been watching while I was at the bar. He’s so sweet and expectant when he shows me something that he knows I’ll like, and like it I did! It was uproariously funny, especially considering how old the episodes were.

We didn’t sleep terribly well last night, unfortunately not due to further sexual energy expenditures, but there was some very satisfying snuggling. It’s starting to get colder at night again, and that means awesome opportunities to snuggle whilst hibernating. Mmm… Actually, a three-month nap sounds pretty good right now…
