Here it is, yet again and you KNOW the drill!
Post your "What are the chances of THAT happening?" experiences here.
You can also discuss those pesky "signs" that keep smacking you upside your head and, of course, express your exasperation with Uni (that's Universe, btw) in general.

What are the chances I'll lose my mind before midnight?

Pfft... I lost my mind years ago!

WATC things will ever seem normal again.

Signs... ah yes... how about the annoying, "You're going to get involved with someone..." signs that I've been getting the last few weeks?

Yeah...  Uni.. really?  HIM?  REALLY?

He's not a "new" guy.  I've known him for about a year.  But really?  HE'S 12 YEARS YOUNGER THAN I AM.  Seriously?  That's who you're throwing at me?

Yes, well, it's much more problematic when the younger party still has 7 months to go before he's of legal drinking age....  At least he's legal otherwise LMAO

Thanks for that one, Uni...

True, true!  LMAO  Although there is something to be said about the sex drive of a 20-year-old male... 

Yes, yes, it definitely is all good 

Uni wins. I am in a relationship.

Yeah, there's definitely a story behind it... OMG... Uni, really?  Wow...

So a few weeks ago, my readings started to go all, "Hey, you're going to be in a relationship soon!"  And I was all, "Oh, no.  Nuh-uh.  I don't do relationships..."  But over and over in my readings it was all, "Relationship, relationship, relationship!!!"  Even the runes said, "You're gonna start dating someone, hahahahaha!"

Then Saturday, my roommate's brother was over.  It's far from the first time we met; he hung out here most of last summer.  And we were laughing about the one time I got so plastered that I had to be carried to my room, by him no less, and how that night he got a nice handful of boob.  Yes, strange conversations, I know.  Anyway, it was pointed out that he must have enjoyed that handful, because he could have moved his hand while escorting me up the stairs, but he didn't.  And I certainly wasn't going to complain, because I'm a horndog  

Anyway, he didn't disagree with that comment.  One thing leads to another that night, and... well... use your imagination... let's just say that I had fun.  Lots of fun.  That night, AND the next morning.

So here I am all day Sunday and most of the day Monday thinking, "Oh, see cards, it's not a new relationship you saw.  It's just a fun buddy.  That's it.  'Cuz he's 20 and I'm 32, and there's NO WAY he'd want a relationship with me!  'Cuz relationships are ebil!"

Ha... yeah... apparently... I was wrong.  The cards were right.  The runes were right.  Because he came over tonight and... expressed very strong interest in seeing where things might go with me.  Then flat out asked me out.

Yeah... so... I said yes.  Which shocked the frack out of me, of course.  I swear, Uni took control of my brain for that brief moment.  It's the ONLY explanation as to why or how I would say, "Yes, J, I would like to start dating you."

HOLY FRACKING CRAP.  I'm in a relationship.  With a really sweet guy WHOSE 12 YEARS YOUNGER THAN ME.  Oh, and did I mention he's my roommate's BROTHER?  He's friends with my son and all the other kids around, because honestly, he's still a kid...  But... we just spent the last four hours talking.  Just talking.  And... well... I haven't just talked with a guy in.... a very... very... long time...

Oh, and I had to send the obligatory, "Hey, ex-hubs, no more hanky panky!  'Cuz this door just closed for you..."

Yeah... Uni, wow.  Really?  REALLY?  Wow... just... wow...

I totally didn't see this coming.  Of course the cards did... they kept telling me... over and over and over and over and over and over and over...

Holy crappola...

They should be wrong because of my now utterly destroyed stance on not doing relationships...

Yes, well, the Universe is very, very, very, very twisted.  Very.  But at least I'm having fun with this little twist in things LMAO

Penthesilea wrote on May 25^th, 2011 at 3:23am:


Fun twists   Yes, definitely   Like having someone to kiss goodbye when he heads off for the day.  Having someone to do little stuff for, like take care of his dishes after dinner.  You don't realize how much you miss that stuff.

'Cuz, um, Uni's twists just getting crazier and crazier... because my 20-year-old boyfriend who is my roommate's brother... is now living with us, because as soon as his aunt that he was living with got wind that he was dating a 32-year-old, she kicked him out...

Yeah, Uni... you're twisted all right... but I'm kinda liking it 

LOL Things are going well then, I take it!
