I know I'm subjecting you to a barrage of blogging today and yesterday, but I just have to post about this. My neighbor has fucking lost his mind! He called me this afternoon and begged me for an adventurous idea for tonight. Here were the parameters-- no mind altetering substances, and something cheap. Hence, Hyde was out of ideas. We hung up and agreed to reconvene later in hopes of finding some adventure on this lonely NY evening.
A few hours later, I was heading to my Modern Italian History class when I got a call from my neighbor. The little bastard* had gone and put up a post on CraigsList! Here's what he said: (check out the link yourself, if you want...)
AN ADVENTURE TONIGHT? - 25

My neighbor and I want to turn this average Thursday night into an adventure. Not before 10 though. Want to do something with us?
this is in or around Manhattan
no -- it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests

In any case, here's the response he got:
what do you have in mind?I would love to have an adventure. I am living on UES. Clean cut professional type.
To which my friendly neighbor replied:
Convenient that you live on the UES, we're in Midtown east. Don't really have any ideas. Hyde (my neighbor) gets back at 10 from teaching, and i will be done at the gym by 9. Just wanted to have a random adventure in NYC on a thursday night. so, we're up for ideas too! (just nothing that involves a lot of money though)
NDN
And then, here comes the kicker:
entertaining any ideas of intimacy? I am bi so any open minded activities in this regard could be fun if we 'click' after a few drinks. If prefer just going out somewhere then that is fine too.
My lovely neighbor did not reply.
So here's our adventure. We're sitting in my apartment. I'm eating Chinese food. He's swigging from a bottle of shiraz. Mr. Rochester is entertaining us both. And it couldn't be more fun!
Have a good night everyone!
-h-
*Yes, I did call my neighbor a "bastard." To the anonymous commenter who left me a note on November 20th, is my life still making sense to you? Is this why my life sucks? Au contraire! It's why my neighbor loves me. Isn't life grand? Aren't relationships complex? At least the good ones are...

Adventures are indeed a wonderful thing. But you know that, you have lots!
Did ndn not see that coming? It is craiglist after all (the world of free soft porn open for all - at least here in SF!).
And your evening together sounds lovely. I'm at home watching CSI.
Most people don't have a clue of what an adveture is.
Mr. Mystic-What's your idea of an adventure?
that's funny. You can do a lot worse than have a night in with a bottle of wine, some chinese food and a cat though, to be fair.....
