Tales from Jaycee’s Vacations (II)

Posted on August 23, 2010 by Jaycee

Yesterday: another day of diving. We saw turtles. One decided she liked us and swam next to us for several minutes before parting ways. Brooke took some great photos of it, as well as a short video. It was absolutely gorgeous.

And last night, something quite unusual happened. Zuri (who is a certified Divemaster) wanted to do a night dive. Meghan was too tired from the day’s dive, and Brooke wasn’t in the mood for it, so we ended up going just the two of us. We rented a boat and Zuri piloted it to the mooring point a few clicks off the coast. She told me to gear up, dive first, and she’d join me shortly. So I did. Once in the water, I looked back at her on the deck, signaled that I was okay. Then, I watched in disbelief as she removed her bikini top, then the bottom. Damn, that girl is HOT. She quickly put on her equipment and followed me into the water. Continue reading “Tales from Jaycee’s Vacations (II)”

Brooke’s New Roommate

Posted on July 25, 2010 by Jaycee

Last night, Brooke & I got together for drinks. He wasn’t alone when I got there, however — there was this girl with him, whom he introduced as Zuri. She’s this foreign student from Congo or something. They got in touch with each other through CouchSurfing.com. (As Brooke puts it, it’s a great way to sample exotic dishes.) Zuri is very sexy, but also very smart and completely fearless. From what was able to gather, there doesn’t seem to be much she hasn’t done (and whatever she hasn’t, it’s on her todo list for the next 2-3 years). She’s done mountain climbing in Tibet, whitewater rafting in the US, ballroom dancing in France, tango in Argentina, capoeira in Brazil, horseback riding in Russia, winter camping in Patagonia, hockey in Canada, sailing in Greece, scuba diving in Thailand, karate in Japan, skiing in the French Alps, and so forth.

She has fascinating stories to tell, though very little about her country of origin. But that doesn’t matter–she’s a really cool chick. It wasn’t clear from her interactions with Brooke whether they were just friends, bedmates, or something more serious. She was certainly flirtatious with me, but since my relationship with Meghan is going great, that’s not an option.

Anyway, she’s going to be here for the next 2-3 weeks, then says she’ll decide where to go next. I don’t think I could be quite that free myself. I’d worry about earning a living and all that. But her, nope. None of that. The future will figure itself out, she says. I don’t know about that, but who knows. Maybe she’s right.

What do you all think?

Big Nite Out — New Friend

Posted on June 4, 2010 by Jaycee

Whoah. Big night out. I just came in — going to work’s going to be a PAIN tomorrow (in a few hours, really), but it was all worth it. I’m still a bit hammered from the night out with Brooke and Barrett, but with no faerie in sight, how could I NOT go out and enjoy myself a little, right?

It’s VERY liberating when you can be yourself, without walking on egg shells, afraid that something is about to go wrong, and you’re going to end up embarassing yourself in public. I don’t think I’ve had this kind of game in years, really. Plus, it helps that B&B are great wingmen. The three of us, we got some killer pickup routines (like the “Fireman’s Carrot” and the “Blues Juice,” to name just a few) that pretty much never fail. It doesn’t matter that I’m 8 years older that most of my targets (or maybe that’s why it works, I dunno).

Anyway, I guess I’m rambling. I’m still a little drunk. Bottom line: I met this very cool chick. Photographer, biker, very hip and all. She’s not shy, not one bit. She walked up to the bar where I was picking up another girl, grabbed me by the shoulder, took a picture of me without asking, signaled for the bartender to give me a drink, and just turned her back to me. The bartender handed me the drink and a napkin with a phone number on it. I called her — she picked up. Standing next to each other, we had one of the wittiest and most fun conversations I’ve had in years. Instant chemistry. It felt like we’d known each other for years.

We had to cut the call when the place closed up. We’re getting together this weekend. I’ll tell you how it went later.
