It’s been a whole five posts since my last ‘Bloke’ post. Time for an update, I think.

On the bloke front, it’s been a big week and a half. Remember KI? Freckly surfing and kung fu hotness. Met him three awesome weeks before I was due to leave Perth last year. Awesome because I fell pretty hard for him and not only did he not run screaming in the other direction, he appeared to feel the same for me, a little at least. Having said that, I didn’t jump him when he dropped me off at the airport so nothing was resolved. And because things seemed to die down while I was away, I then spent the next three months trying to get over him. Not very easy when certain things reminded me of him.

Nick Cave on iTunes? KI.

Black pinstripe slacks? KI.

Martial arts of any kind? KI.

Macadamia nuts? KI.

Pinecone? KI.

Random guy on the street? KI.

You get the idea.

I tried to keep myself ‘distracted’ though, and by the time I returned to Perth, I was very close to being over him. When I met someone with the same name, I no longer felt the need to writhe naked on sandpaper then have a bath in lemon juice. I had made so much progress that by then I only wanted to wash my eyes with Tabasco sauce. It’s all about making little steps.

Then a week and a half ago, KI invited me to his birthday celebration/commiseration. Nice gesture, but I would have been an idiot to turn up. He would have been there with a brand spanking new girlfriend and they would have spent the entire night making smoochy sounds and calling each other “cuddlebunny” and “pumpkin”, while I downed tequila shots at the bar and wrote myself a reminder to stock up on sandpaper. In blood. Because pens are for wusses.

Wisdom is overrated.

Because aided by copious amounts of beer and vodka, we ended up licking the back of each other’s throats. Again and again and again and…I lost count. I had a neckache by the end of the night (he’s a lot taller than I am). And things were said. Like how he wanted to kiss me at the airport but didn’t want me thinking that he was a dirty old man (even though he is). And how I wanted to pull him into a dark corner every time I went out with him but didn’t want him thinking that I was a horny 21 year old (even though I am).

We made plans to see each other on Monday. He had to cancel because of work. So we made plans for dinner on Thursday. He had to cancel because of work. So we made plans for him to get a tattoo the next Monday and to watch a movie later during the week. He didn’t cancel.

He just didn’t call. Or turn up. Or text. Or answer his phone. I called four times. Any more and I might as well get a tattoo myself – ‘STALKER’…on my forehead. He hasn’t even been at work all week. I know because he’s always online at work and I’ve been watching my MSN window like an abandoned puppy. Of course, he could be lurking offline, but I’m not entertaining that possibility because that would mean that he’s avoiding someone. Potentially me. So possibility not entertained.

It may not be me after all. Because he didn’t turn up at kung fu last night (I quit last year, so I asked a friend). And KI wouldn’t miss kung fu if he could help it, he’s the sort to turn up to class with a broken arm and dislocated ankle. So whatever caused him to miss last night has got to be pretty big.

Christ, the suspense is killing me.

Pens ARE for wusses. I use crayons.

That new necklace must be hard to explain to your mom.

I hope it isn't you that he is ignoring... maybe something bad happened?

oh, sweetie. I didn't know you were serious(?) abt this guy. i thought it was just a crush. well, whatever it is, i sure hope he comes around soon. =) bonne chance!

It could be alot of things
that prevent him from fulfilling his promises with you. Well, it could be a sad accident (someone closely related to him died or something), it could be a tragic accident (medicine overdose results into a temporary amnesia), it could be a happy accident (hit a jackpot and got smugged by and occupied by some reality tv show that sent him to an island with lotsa cash, etc), anyway, the point is, be strong. I know the whole feeling of "thrill", it's like when the main character of some action-packed series got sandwiched in between the love of his life and the will of justice, and then suddenly "to be continued..." and for some technical reason, the tv station decided to cut the series off.. yea i totally understand that.. And whenever that sorta thing happened to me, i look for em. Be it legal (phone, doorbell visit) or illegal ways (peek, stalk, tapping phonelines, etc), i will do it, just don't get caught by the law enforcement team.

Dilated: It's a good thing that my mom's back home in Malaysia then.

Mmm, I'm undecided as to whether I want something to have happened to him. On one hand, it's not me. On the other, it's, well, bad.

Qian: Haha, serious is such a...serious word. I just like him a lot. Unfortunately. Since he's MIA. Damn.

Fred: Evidently, I must take lessons from you. Stalker guru! My mom's of the same opinion as you tho. Regarding the endless possible reasons for his disappearance. Aaarghh. As long as he's in one piece when he appears again. And uhh...still into me.

Jase: Sob sob sob, ok. I'll probably catch you during the weekend then. You see, because I couldn't talk to you, I had to make an angsty post.

Nuttz: If he got kidnapped, he had better have been kidnapped after kungfu on Friday night. That would be the only good reason why I spent the weekend wondering where he was.

Chloefoxx: YAYYYYYYY!! You are a champion!!!!

Min: CHOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!
» theZEBRA on 2007-04-05 09:57:32

That's why there was a question mark after the 'serious'. hehe... oh well. he'd be a fool not to be into you. hope it all works out, ya. even if it's just for the hot, steamy sex. unless you'e hoping for something more serious than that. although alice may get jealous. =p
» Qian (202.172.113.234) on 2007-04-06 01:42:43

Lol! I get that question a lot.
My mom chose to send me there while most of my friends are going to Taylors. I haven't actually visited the campus before..
» Nuttz on 2007-04-06 11:07:48

Qian: I've cleared it with Liz. My cuddlebunny doesn't mind sharing.

Nuttz: Well, I hope you have a great time at Sunway!
» theZEBRA on 2007-04-07 02:35:45

guys are jerks. I know 'cause I am one. But then women still dig us. Hmmm..

Probably has nothing to do with you, could be attending to something serious. However he should've called you or something. But then again, back to my first sentences, guys are jerks.

Foolish boy. VERY foolish boy.

» LittleBrit on 2007-04-08 06:30:51

YK: I don't think he's a jerk...at least I'm hoping he's not one.

LittleBrit: Lol, definitely not a boy anymore, this one.
» theZEBRA on 2007-04-08 10:54:53

What sucks the most must be not knowing what's going on at all. If it were me I'd rather know for sure that it was my fault, than not know anything.

I hope all goes well.
