The Drugs Wore Off But I'm Still In Love

Ok, so you're supposed to feel in love with the stranger you're making out with when you're all messed up on x and a couple doses of g... but how about when you come down and you're still feeling the same way? I feel like I'm walking around in a daze; I even dreamed about him last night. I'm too old for this kind of nonsense; I don't even know the guy. Can a drug-fueled night of empathy, hugs and oral sex actually indicate an attraction that goes beyond the chemical? What a face! What an ass! What a mess...

Naturally, our resident eXpert Ronan is away travelling; surely he knows its wicked ways.

Never underestimate the powers of the backside!

well, five or six or whatever years later I'm still together with Rener.

er, posted that before seeing that. Still...

I'll say it again: some days I'd rather be hanging out with Sean.

Thanks, Nabisco; I'm glad my sordid tales of decadance hold an appeal for you.

I must confess I have underestimated the "power of the backside"... I don't think I will again. Man, oh man.

Whoohoo Sean got some!

Can you put into words why you fancy this guy so much (for instance, do you remember having a good conversation with the guy)? Did he demonstrate qualities over and above a superb face and butt? Did he show any signs of fancying you back?

If yes, I'd recommend seeing if you can meet up again with this guy when both of you are sober to confirm that he's as great as you remember and to see if there's any possibility of an ongoing relationship. (A year or two ago, the Savage Love column printed several letters from couples who reported having hooked up while wasted, only to develop an enduring relationship. Therefore it is possible.)

Crossing my fingers for you,

Have the test be if you're still seeing him by the time I visit in a month. Then see if he can put up with me yammering about music all the time. ;-)

do you remember having a good conversation with the guy

Not really.

Did he demonstrate qualities over and above a superb face and butt?

Hell no!!

Did he show any signs of fancying you back?

Yes. Do you really want the detalis? :)

to see if there's any possibility of an ongoing relationship

It's sweet of you to think I'm operating on this level here. I know I've occasionally used ILE as a forum for complaining about my love life; this one is purely about sex. I'm fairly sure I really was into him, not so sure about how he feels. I've got his number, so I plan on finding out.

― Sean, Wednesday, 29 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

this one is purely about sex.

Ah, my mistake. Then keep on shagging him, as long as the two of you are having a good time.

And now that the coffee has worn off a bit I should add Im in the same boat as DV. Except in my case she moved to Japan three years ago and when shes not galavanting about South Eastern Asia with her friends who have jobs and can afford to visit her we stay in touch almost daily via email.

So let me treat this like my diary ok? So I called him yesterday after work; got his voicemail, didn't hear back from him (yet). I wonder if he's out of town, since he actually took several phone calls while we were having sex... in any case I remain hypnotized by this sexual encounter. I'm confident that I'd be able to recreate most of the excitement without drugs, but that probably wouldn't be necessary, haha... talk to you soon, ok?

Um...this to me would be a BAD sign.

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 30 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Well, since the "encounter" lasted about 8 hours, I excuse it.

― Sean, Thursday, 30 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Different strokes for different folks. ;-)

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 30 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Was that a double entendre?

― Sean, Thursday, 30 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

*gasp!*

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 30 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I think it was a single entendre.

― Dan Perry, Thursday, 30 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Yeah, my thought too. Or a triple one? Perhaps I spoke of Julian Casablancas and that long butt-fuzz he calls a hairstyle.

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 30 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I can't believe I posted this. In love? Well, I was kidding from the get-go, but really; in love with being fucked up on 4 different drugs is more like it.

― Sean, Tuesday, 4 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

E's some weird shit, I don't think you've actually "come down" until everything you did while on it seems really stupid.

― Kris, Tuesday, 4 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Actually that's true of all drugs, but it's also true of sobriety when you're on drugs.

― Kris, Tuesday, 4 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I always get flashbacks to kissing people on the cheek and it scares the fucking hell out of me.

I find the next day it's easy to have swings into thinking you really fancy someone, but generally I wake up the day after the day after and realise it was ridiculous. Of course I could actually fancy the person and be doing a fantastic job of pretending I don't, but I like to blame the drug.
