Asian Fusian

Last week while visiting Mom in Sunny Southern California, I had the opportunity to meet a fellow blogger.

This is the first time I have been able to actually meet another blogger, or, for that matter, a reader of my blog!

I had such a good time.

He was working, so the only time we could meet was lunch time, or after work.  Because I didn't want to get stuck in LA traffic, and other things, I chose lunch time.  My blogger buddy bought lunch and we munched Asian Fusion food from a nearby food truck.

I don't think I've ever had Asian Fusion before, but mine consisted of a burrito, with grilled meat along with a wad of french fries inside.  While the meat was tasty, the fries were merely filling.  Too filling, plus, I was so busy flapping my gums telling my story that I barely had time to eat.

This meeting was right in the middle of the latest Amigo Drama, so the Blogger listened patiently, and gave me some advice when asked.  Blogger also filled me in on personal details of his life that I was very, very curious about.  It was so much fun.  

I guess I need to get some actual gay people in my social life that I can talk to sometimes.

I had a mental picture in my mind, about Blogger.  He has a nice slim torso picture on his profile, so I should have known he would be hot.  But, in my mind, he looked like another guy that I used to blow, so in my mind he wasn't so fit and trim.  But, in fact he was smoking hot.

I wondered about his perception of me, and of course in many ways I wasn't what he expected.  I loved his description;

 I can totally empathize with picturing a certain person when you interact with someone. For me though, it was a bit more cerebral.  The way you write, I was expecting a bit more of a cocky frat guy type that's heavily closeted and paranoid. I know there's a lot of judgement in that statement but I swear I mean it in an archetype level than a criticism of your writing. I mean, you're writing about hookups so it's really about getting your nut, which then makes it seem like you're a little egocentric with your needs... But you're actually really sensitive in an earnest and novel way.  Ugh, I'm doing a horrible job of explaining what I mean. Like, I was expecting someone that's very direct in a hot masculine sort of way but instead you're more direct in a more contemplative and equally hot but sincere way. Is that a little better?

I love that from my writing, he thought I was a (older version of) a cocky, closeted frat guy!  Is that what everyone pictures?  Oh, if only I could get in all your heads!

In reality I feel like such a bumbling dork, with a few left over self esteem issues, and he thought I was a cocky frat guy type.  Bless his handsome heart.

Thanks for meeting me Blogger.  I didn't mention you specifically, because I wanted the other readers to enjoy the puzzle, of figuring out who you are.  I hope you're cool with that.
