I haven't actually seen the Ice Man since I moved out of the igloo, but he does keep in touch by email and text message from time to time. So, a while back, in an email about a camera cable that he found under his bed, he added:

"I've taken up kissing again... on the streets, in the trams... I might even try sex one of these days."

Now, you'd have to know the Ice Man to catch the irony of this comment and the anti-gravitational effect that it had on my eyebrow. The Ice Man is this drop-dead-gorgeous Brazilian with long, wild, curly black hair who flirts with everything that moves and can be found with a new girl every couple of days. As he once put it to Ms. L... "I like to take a girl and rent a hotel room... get a bottle of wine.. and disappear for a couple of days..." And that's pretty much been his lifestyle, as far as I could ever tell. So, naturally, I had to check it out. Here's the correspondence that ensued:

Kruu: Are you trying to tell me that you're a virgin? I'm finding that one a little hard to swallow.

Ice Man: Virgin, haha.... no, I just gave it up for a while, because I had lost the joy. But I think I'm ready to take it up again.

Kruu: Hmmm... I have just the opposite problem. I couldn't get laid in this town if my life depended on it. What am I doing wrong?

Ice Man: Just get drunk and go.

Kruu: Yeah, yeah, but go where?

Ice Man: Go for it. Usually, with alcohol, "it" comes for you.

(a couple of weeks later)

Kruu: Okay, so I took your advice. I've been lying around my flat drinking everything I could get my hands on, and I have to admit, the sex has been fabulous. The only problem is, I 've had to do all the work myself. There's got to be a better way.

Ice Man: Hahahha!

A couple of weeks later, I had an early night. I was feeling really exhausted and had to get up early for work, so I turned in around 9 p.m. and turned my mobile phone off, because I'd recently sent my number to my boyfriend in Mexico, and I didn't trust him to be aware enough of time differences not to call me late at night and disturb my sleep. On the way to work the next day, I turned my phone on and read this text message from the Ice Man, sent at 11:30 the night before:

"How's it? Did you get... drunk?"

I texted back about having had a fly in my web (Sinbad), but no meal for the black widow. That's been a couple of weeks ago, now, and I haven't had a reply. It was only later that day that it occurred to me that Ice Man's text may have been a booty call. You see what happens when you turn your phone off?

So, what do you think? If I'd gotten the message when it was sent.... would I have gone?

    I am going to just take a wild guess and say yes.  By the way, it is neat to see you posting, we missed you.

    dee:  Thanks.... and I'm not telling.  ;-)

    I don't think you would've gone. But missing the chance, well...it still feels like you missed out, even if you might've said no to actually following through!

    Infernal said it best!!  So true!
    I've been married for almost 7 years (scratch that itch,lol)!  What's a booty call again?  LMAO!
    Missed ya Kruu!

    Well, I can't think of any reason not to go!
  • botoni said on Apr 27, 2008....
    If it helps any....I would have gone so you shoulda. Good to see you girl!
  • kelly said on Apr 27, 2008....
    I'm a little confused.  You said that you have a boyfriend.  So, what's the deal?
  • kruuyai said on Apr 28, 2008....
    daily:  Missed ya' too!  lol.... I'll give the Ice Man your number next time!  :) (just kidding)

    Lady Emma:  Yeah, me neither, except I'd rather have him come to me... I mean, 11:30 p.m.?  Sheesh!

    botoni:  Ooooh, you'd like the Ice Man, botoni.   Good to see you, too.

    kelly:  Oops!  Snagged by the moral police.  Well, here's the deal:  There's this guy in Mexico who thinks he's still my boyfriend.  We took up six years ago... he made my life a living hell for a year or so, then he went to the US, and I was sure (hoped) he would find another, younger girlfriend there and be done with it (he's a good looking 24 year old guy with a Depp-esque profile), but as luck would have it, he stayed in love with me and called at least twice a week for the year and a half he was there.  According to him, he never dated anyone else while he was there (not completely sure if I believe that).  Then,  just when I was getting ready to leave Mexico, he came back... I guess he didn't believe I would stop and see him on my way to Europe, and he wanted to see me again, so he gave up everything to come back to Mexico and spend my last 5 months there with me... once again, making my life a living hell, but not quite as hellish as before.  We've maintained internet contact since I left (two and a half years ago), and he has had several girlfriends with my blessings (sometimes several at a time) but he insists that he's still in love  with me and that I'm "the one," but I think it's more of an ownership thing.. just not wanting anyone else to have me.  So, I really haven't considered him my boyfriend for a long time, and I will probably never see him again, but I still refer to him that way.  It makes me feel like a part of the human race... lol.  But even if I was married, I think that after two and a half years without any physical contact is justification for taking a booty call.  What do you think?  :)
  • silverwhisper said on Apr 28, 2008....
    i think you might've gone, depending on your mood when you got the message, myself. :>

    yes you would!!! =)

    Good to see you again kruu. ;-)
  • kruuyai said on Apr 28, 2008....
    ed:  You're probably right.  It would totally depend on my mood... and if I recall, my mood was:  tired.  So, I probably would have turned it down. 

    queen:  I don't know, but I think you would.  ;-)

    Alyss:  Thanks!  :)
  • kelly said on Apr 28, 2008....
    Only two and a half years?  You have no stamina.  ;-)
  • kruuyai said on Apr 29, 2008....
    kelly:  You're right about that... considering that the average length of my relationships is a few months and that I've never had one last more than a couple of years... why would I remain attached to someone I haven't even seen in a couple of years?  :)
  • GrapeKoolaid said on Apr 29, 2008....
    And here I was thinking the post was going to be about pirates again...  :)

    So when's the next train to happyville arriving?  Have you checked the schedule? 

    Howabout you givin' him a booty call?  It is the 21st century after all... 

    Call him up one day, or just show up at his door with a bottle of wine and have at it!!!  ;)
  • kruuyai said on May 03, 2008....
    Grape:  I didn't even think you knew about my pirates.  ;-)  Actually, if I were going to give someone a booty call, it would not be the Ice Man, but one of the pirates... Sinbad.  In fact, I've been working on that lately, but it's slow going.  Unfortunately, showing up at his door with a bottle of wine is impossible, because.. er... umm... he doesn't have... a door!

    For those who guessed that I would have gone on that booty call, I would have to say ... wrong.  The only way I could ever go on a booty call would be if I didn't know that that's what it was.  Because 90% of the thrill for me is believing that the guy is really into me, and nobody else but me... at least for the moment.  If I thought that any body would do... it just wouldn't do anything for me.  And it would have to be someone that I was really into as well.  Although the Ice Man is really gorgeous, we've never really had any chemistry between us. 
  • kruuyai said on May 04, 2008....
    Hmmmm, curiouser and curiouser.... it's 4:30 am, and I can't get back to sleep, so I thought I'd check out what's going on here (nothing), and check my email as well.  I got an email from the Ice Man that was sent around midnight.  He said he has some ideas and needs to talk to me.  Wants to meet today and even went so far as to give the date.  Strange.  It doesn't seem like a booty call to be so arranged in advance, but I can't imagine what kind of ideas he's talking about.  If it came from just about anyone else I know here, it might be about an acting job, but he's a music promoter, and I am not musical......

    will keep you posted.]
  • kruuyai said on May 06, 2008....
    My instincts were right after all... no booty call.  It was a business proposition that actually is going to be a lot of fun.  (No, no.... not that kind of fun)   More details to come if it works out.  Meanwhile, I turned down a date with Sinbad tonight because I have too much paperwork to do for my job.  Sigh.

I just thought I'd drop in for a quick blog about life so you guys don't think I've forgotten you/died.
