If you were wondering where I've been, I've been in the hospital with cellulitis in my right leg. It woke me up at 5 in the morning of Tuesday, I sat there shaking and having the pain get worse until 8 when I heard one of my roommates up asked him to drive me to the ER. 7 days later I got out. I was going stir crazy. All the hot nurses were in the ER. I had one that was OK. She seemed a bit ditzy though. Anyway, while I was in, they had to put in a PICC line (super long IV that feeds from your arm to your chest). After getting released, I was having some pain where the line ended in my chest. Called the doctor and he said there was ABSOLUTELY no way I could feel the PICC. "Uless you are wired differently than every other human on the planet, you didn't feel it". We argued for a minute but assured me it was nothing. One new issue: My right foot is swollen. Not just swollen but looks like someone blew up a latex glove. At one point in time yesterday, my foot was sooo fat, my toes didn't touch the ground. Now I am trying to be a good boy and stay off my feet, keep my right foot elevated and take my meds but I've got miles to go.
One good thing: Workers Comp!!! YAAYYY!!!

Oh man. Where to begin. Right before I moved to Nashville, Martha and Ralph broke it off... because he cheated on her. Of course I didn't find this out until months after I moved. She found me on facebook about November and wrote me a letter. She tells me that she wished I hadn't moved and that I was the only friend of Ralph's that she thought was cool and interesting. So... I laid my cars on the table. I told her everything... I mean everything. How I'd had a thing for her for YEARS but never did anything about it because I was friends with Ralph. The fact that I would love to see her at parties but at the same time would hate it because there was nothing I could do. I told her how close I came to completely being a dick to her so she would hate me and make it not hurt so much. From this I was expecting one of 2 responses: 1) The "Let's be friends" or 2) "I'm just not into you". Her response: "Now, you need to move back". She said she cried because she never thought anyone would put her on a pedestal. Ralph never did.
So now, 2 weeks ago, I head back up to Bodymore and post it on facebook while I'm waiting in the airport. She responds "I really want to see you. Name the place and time and I will be there." So I met her for lunch. Of course she looked absolutely ADORABLE!! We talked for about 3 hours and parted ways. While leaving she gave me a big hug and whispered in my ear "I wish you didn't live so far away", kissed me on the cheek and then she was gone. I just melted. Then again, she probably could have said "chicken liver is half price at the Safeway" and I would have had the same reaction.
Dammit!! I have a bunch of reasons to move back to Baltimore but now I actually have a good one.

You know how you said I should ask about safe words during speed dating? I didn't do it during the speed dating, but I recently used it in a conversation with Mr. SpeedDate. Somehow (I have no idea how) we got on the topic of telegraph sex (instead of phone sex). And how telegrams end every sentence with STOP. And how confusing it'd be: "Do you want me to stop? STOP No, don't stop. STOP" So I said you could just have a safe word. I don't know if I surprised him or if he didn't know what I was talking about, but he did not respond! It was funny. And I thought of you.
Thanks for the crush. And back atcha.
