A hunger of a different kind

It’s early on a Sunday morning, and I’m wondering what I’m doing up.
Apart from checking my emails, I keep logging in and out of a couple of websites. Personals websites. I’m trying to see if my profile catches an eye, gets someone’s attention long enough to want to write to me.
I must be lonely. Am I perverse to long for someone… Anyone to love? To hold, and snuggle up against? I know I want to feel a warm body against mine. Someone to touch and feel, to share laughs with, longing stares…
So I get in and out of those sites I’ve subscribed to… hoping someone interesting enough will write me, or say hi, and proceed with connecting.
It’s during moments like this when I wonder about the luck that some people have to be in love with their partners, while I sit here, desperately wanting to connect with another human being – hoping that sparks start flying, that he’ll want my no. next so he can call me to talk over the phone and not just chat online.
As I sit here, I am chatting with Russ. A little teasing and flirting goes some way toward feeling desired… but Russ isn’t thinking about a future… at least not while we’re chatting. He’s trying to figure a way to get me into bed when he transits while on his way to Cambodia…
Maybe it’s time for bed. And a little less thinking…

I'll be leavin on a jetplane!

In approximately 25 hrs and 30 mins from the time I'm done with this post, I'll be on a plane headed to Australia to visit my relatives.

But I can't wrap my head around why I'm not as excited about going to Perth as I had been over my previous holidays - to Cambodia, Bali and Bangkok. As happy as I am to meet up with my two aunts who've made a home in Perth, I guess I haven't read much about what's exciting there for me to drool over.

I've done a little bit of homework, but not enough to whet my appetite. Still, I'm open to the visit, and the other upside is that I'll be meeting with my friends, whom I got to meet when I was in Bali. They'll be taking me camping by the beach. That's something to look forward to. :)

While I'm still online, I might as well read up on where it is I'll be going.

I'll have details when I get back... in two weeks.
