Find a Conversation

Well, women and SB. Here I am in the big city all alone. You will be somewhat proud of me. On Friday I went to a session on bullying in schools as it relates to GLBT kids. It was a very good session and I learned a lot. There was a woman there who is actually from my caucus(PA), who wanted to know why the GLBT didn't believe in "reparative therapy." I thought the co-chair of the GLBT handled her very well. Of course, now she knows my face and I think she will be trying to "save" me. She wreaks havoc in our caucus every year trying to "change" us. There was also a woman from the "Ex-Gay Caucus." I am not sure how that works.
Yesterday I joined the national GLBT caucus and got my toaster. lol. I also scored a ticket to the national dinner which, I think, is tomorrow night. I have a suit to wear, no dress, Caly. lol I am going with my two gay guy friends, Bill and Charlie. They are such a cute couple.
Today I stopped by the GLBT caucus table and bought some stuff. Candles and a necklace-all rainbow stuff. The female head of the national caucus was there and she is pretty hot. I tried to make conversation with her, but I was not too good. She did see me at the session, waited on me, and hopefully, we will get a chance to talk tomorrow night.
I am trying to get my nerve up to order a taxi to take me to a club here called Sisters. I have heard of it before, but I don't know much about it, and I am a little afraid of going alone. It is early, however, and if I get my this and my email cleaned up, I might try. Probably not, but the thought is there......
I am attending my first GLBT caucus session tomorrow over lunch. Charlie said it was a good place to "network." ;) Let's see how things turn out!
I will try and keep y'all posted. I had a devil of a time getting internet at the hotel, which is why I haven't posted sooner. Not like there is anything to post. I kind of made eye contact with this cute woman at the gym, but I think I scared her off. She vanished when I wasn't looking.
So that is the short story made long. I am having fun in general. Went to see Tim McGraw and Faith Hill in concert last night. She is one HOT woman.......... God. It was awesome and took a friend who stayed with me last night. Straight friend who knows. A good time. Today a guy and I took in the Phillies-Mets game and then my whole group went to dinner at a fabulous Italian restaurant. All is not lost.
Tomorrow the RA begins and my days are long and my nights short. I will try and post from the computer room tomorrow.

Hey, guys, and of course you, irishowl,
Last night was great. The dinner and speakers were very good and then it was an evening of music and dancing. Danced with a lot of women, but nothing really sparked my interest. At one point in the dancing, one of the women mentioned that it was funny to watch straight people "get their gay on." ROFL At some point the straight people go home and then it is just us. When the DJ plays "It's Raining Men" all the guys go wild. Of course, we like We are Family. Met a friend for lunch yesterday and she is real nice.
Tonight my region has reserved the rooftop for fireworks.
There has been some crazy things happening in caucus. I will tell you all about them later when more time permits.
"People" are starting to recognize me kind of around and it's nice to feel like there is a place here to belong.
The end has arrived and I am now safely home for about 4 days. :) :( Mixed emotions here. After the RA, I went to a club called Sisters. Pretty rockin' place. My friends didn't show up until late, though. There were three floors: the main floor with live music although last night was Karioke-no I don't sing. lol The lower floor has a pool table and the upper floor was for dancing. The other women stayed until about 1 or so. One woman and I closed the place around 2 and then took shared a cab home. She was from California. The bar was mostly 20-early thirty somethings and I didn't quite fit. It was fun, though.
Here I am getting ready to do laundry and such. The whole experience was just a blast and I am oh so comfortable with the folks who know. They are such a protective bunch and I feel safe. Charlie made me take his phone number in case I got into any serious jams that I couldn't get out of. He's so cute. I don't know what he thinks he could have done, but it's nice to have somebody like that.

So glad you made it home safely! And glad you had lots of fun. Sounds like this was a great experience for you, and I'm sure you came away with a lot of good things. I bet you have a lot to process!
Rest up for the next phase of your adventurous summer!

Hey Friend!
Sorry I didn't have any suggestions for ya last night, but if you closed the joint then I guess you did ok!
No, no. Your advice was just fine. I sat at the bar an just took in all the sights and sounds. Just a way younger crowd. Nice kids, but definitely not interested in me. That was okay....baby steps.
You did think the whole thing was hysterical. :) That made me feel better. I started out quite nervous--going by myself, having no idea where I was, getting my own cab. Big city girl stuff for a small town chick!!

Thanks, Cat. It was a step I have never done before, but you know if the choice is to sit it out or dance, I always pick dance anymore. I love to dance......slow, fast, somewhere in between, slide, macarena, shag, jitterbug, hokey pokey...okay maybe not hokey pokey, because as we have discussed here...what if IT WAS what it was all about. lol I danced with this really tall girl, she must have been over 6 foot and I have never slow danced with a woman that tall. What am I talking about!!!!???? I can't remember ever slow dancing with any woman, but I must have. Nope, nothing comes to memory, Anyhow, that was a little strange.
You have made me feel good. Thanks. I've been kicking myself a little for not being more aggressive. I didn't want to get the old brush off, though.
I am a little frazzled tonight. After last night, the drive home, the unpacking, and the Little League baseball game I umped tonight, I am wiped out. Gonna check the est of the posts and then go to bed.
Hugs
