All Highs, All Lows

Has anyone watched Grey's Anatomy? There's this line a character says about how if you don't have sex for a long time you forget how good it is and don't really need it, but if you suddenly get laid then it's like this beast is awoken and you need it all the time. Visiting the Bay Area last weekend was like that for me. I had kind of acclimated

So about that hanging out we keep saying we're going to do. Would you two be amicable to us coming out there and then maybe going to Little Tokyo this weekend? It's kind of short notice, but we're available pretty much any time. Let me know!

Sounds awesome. I work Saturdays but I'm available Sunday before 3. Sam has band practice (with 3 active bands he does that all the time) but I'd love to hang out.

I am trying hard not to hate LA too. It is eating my soul just a little bit everyday and i have to try to love and create just as hard as i can just to hold my footing against it's ebb. But in doing that i have thrown myself heart and soul into to my work and it is paying off 10 fold in the form of a sweet sense of exhausted satisfaction and abounding opportunities. I am so happy that your life is working out for you. You will make it back to the bay, just as we all eventually will. If you ever have a couple hours free I would love to go hiking in the santa monicas with you. I hike up there a lot for my biology classes and would like to go with someone else who can appreciate the place on more than a purely academic level. :)

Ps. Poppy tattoo = best idea ever...

I hate when I don't get laid for week... but I hate even more sleeping with someone ungratifying. So I sometimes end up in this weird space where I really just want to get laid, but I really don't just want to get laid.

The trick, then is casting this as a genuine interest in the person you're trying to lay and avoiding coming off as cheaply desperate. The problem is that, in this case, the immediate and long term needs can be very much mutually exclusive; you generally can't just say to someone you really do like and dating that you're kinda horny today, and could we fuck now?
