Curious, and curiouser
|
Curious, and curiouser I love my roommate. She's a younger woman, just 41, with long auburn hair and pretty blue eyes. But she can be a handful. She describes herself as heterosexual, and tells me about her male interests, or otherwise her loneliness. She listens to online broadcasts that castigate current science, politics, and business, and religiously watches Ancient Aliens. She knows I am a lesbian, and yet we mostly get along well. Often she offers me hugs. Sometimes she will kiss me on the cheek, once in a great while she'll kiss me on the lips. We walked, one day in September with our arm around each other's waists, and that felt nice. As a new lesbian with no experiences with a woman, these acts feel like food. Sometimes her behaviour is puzzling. She'll insult my education (chemical-physics, modern dance, philosophy, and computer science), she complains that I am gone so much. ( I am very active and sit on several boards) . This morning she stood in the hallway and said, "I just don't care anymore" I walked for an hour to a meeting with a fellow who is using me for IT advice for his new company startup, and during this hour walk where I had planned to think about the next steps in a short story I am writing, instead I thought about her, I had conversations with her in my head, and gradually it dawned on me: She's treating me like a lover. Its almost as though she wants me to seduce her. I was thinking I ought to tell her about what I was thinking. I was thinking about telling her that when she tells a lesbian roommate that she likes to walk around the apartment nude that she might be sending unintended messages. This evening when I got home, she apologized, and gave me a long tight hug. I hugged her, and stroked her hair, and told her I was beginning to understand what it means to love Maja. |

I've only read 2 of your posts and I didn't read all of this one. Curious though; it seems you emphasize age quite a bit. From the 2 posts of yours I've read, there was "Young people", "younger woman" and "kids (reference to younger adults). Age is just a number isn't it? 1HotBaadBoy

Ah, age is, on some level inescapable. But this weekend I went to the glamoflage dance at Michael's Bar, and danced all night with many of the young women I have come to know over the last year, and even got the telephone number of a young woman who wants me to go with her to the barefoot ecstatic dance with her the next time it happens. That is all well and good, but women my own age can't dance like I do with the younger women. I am somatically quite a bit younger than my calendar age, which accords with your claim that 'age is just a number' As for the 'kids' reference, these young woman are between the ages of my two daughters, if not younger sometimes. Its a curious world, this queer world!
