Late Night Call

I had already gone to bed last night and was just starting to drift off to sleep when the phone next to my bed rang.  It was my good friend Joel.  We have been missing each other's calls lately and I needed to talk to him about his upcoming wedding.  I wished him happy birthday because it was his birthday. We talked about when I would be coming to town and where I would stay.  He invited me to stay at his apartment, as his fiancée will be moving out to begin the re-virginization process.

Kevin and his wife did the something similar.  They did live together but abstained from sex for months so their honeymoon would be fantastic.  Joel and his intended bride are just going to go for a week without getting' it on.

He described their wedding preparation as overwhelming.  He had no idea how much there was to do and how hard it was to organize.  But he is looking forward to his wedding day.  His family will be there.  A few of his friends from here in Georgia will be there too.

I kept asking about the wedding and he kept changing the subject, except to say that every time he brings up the subject to the people he works with they always say, "It's not too late to back out!"  He told me the keep saying it to him as though it is funny.  I told Joel that this is just evidence of the poor choices his coworkers have made and they are pretty much dicks.

We talked about this guy Joel knows who lost his virginity recently at a spa.  The metro Atlanta area is full of "spas" who advertise in the free weekly paper.  They are basically whorehouses.  You go in for a massage and they keep offering you different services until you are paying for sex.  This guy is younger, just 24 years old, and I guess he felt he had waited long enough.

The funny thing is, this spa is not far from where I work.  I know the building Joel described.  It is right next to Starbucks.  Ha!  I had a feeling that's what was going on in there.  They have parking in the back so patrons won't feel so vulnerable, I guess.

Then Joel's friend went and got a girlfriend.  Looks like his loss of virginity helped him break his celibacy streak.  Apparently he found a nice girl to date.  They will be at the wedding next week.  Oh, and Joel told me the trip to the spa cost him $280.

Damn.  That seems like a lot of money to get laid.  But I guess when you are a virgin any amount of money seems like a deal to have access to a woman who willingly has sex with you. This guy is very shy and it is not easy for him interact with other people.  I have met him a few times and he is very polite, but when we talk I realize he does not always understand the words I am using.

Joel and I also talked about movies we had seen.  We both liked School of Rock and thought it was ok but it was just a cleaned up version of Tenacious D.  I really liked the film About Schmidt.  I think that's how it is spelled.  It is the Jack Nicholson movie I rented recently.  If I could make a movie I would like to make a movie like that one.  Joel said it was depressing and I thought it was amazing.

We talked until about midnight.  I was so tired when my alarm went off at 6:15 am the next morning.  I have been working so much lately (at my great job!) and have not had a lot of sleep.

I think I will turn in now.
