A Conflicted Groupie

So this one time I had sex with a drummer.

Drummers are evil people. I really should have listened to my brother-in-law, a guitar player, who said to me, "If you ever date a drummer, I'll disown you! Drummers only cause trouble and they choke on their own vomit and die!" He was deadly serious.

But see there was this guy. And he made me laugh, and apparently I found him cute, and ya know--we sort of had sex. A lot. Usually while watching Herculoids, The Superfriends, Dino Boy, and the Galaxy Trio at 3 in the morning. To this day if I hear any type of Hannah Barberra soundtrack from a 60's cartoon I got all hot and bothered. It really is rather pavlovian.

Apparently while the sex was wonderful--he wanted to persue a relationship with someone else.

He didn't tell me this. He just stopped calling for sex. I took the hint. When he did call two months later, it was to inform me he had a girlfriend. Classy. At least it wasn't the paramedics telling me he'd had a vomit incident.

But while we were boffing I was a true fan of the music. I was not a groupie mearly interested in saying "I'm having sex with an unfamous drummer"--no--I really dug the music. I can honestly say to this day I enjoy their music and have heard nothing else like it.

I'll admit the first few weeks after I heard I was being totally sexually cut off I was pissed and sang along with their songs off-key ON PURPOSE (not that anyone could tell). But slowly I just went back to enjoying their stuff again.

The sting of no nookie is gone.

So guess who I happen to run into tonight.

Vomit man himself! Apparently a new album is in the works. I tell him to keep me updated because I would love to hear it. Not being a groupie, honestly--I want to hear it. Our quick and witty parry and thrusts are still as sharp as ever. He still makes me laugh. (damnit all to hell).

And apparently he is still with said girlfriend. Good for him.

I want so badly to dislike him. But I can't. And I really have no reason to. I am merely upset that I don't get nookie anymore. And I am upset that I still really like the music.

I bet Bebe Buell never had to deal with this shit.
