Actually, the heat is finally off in PHX. After one of the hottest summers, and the most days in one summer with temperatures over 110 degrees F., the heat wave that was Summer 2007 is finally disappearing. I think the temperature was the leading cause of some of my earlier remarks after returning from Paris where the highs were in the low 70's during the day. I really do like it here in Phoenix most of the time and 9 months out of the year, the weather is perfect. I have always had an inner streak, a gypsy side if you prefer, that is constantly looking for 'the next big thing' or for a new adventure. I have always loved traveling and seeing new things and meeting new people. Now that the heat is over in my own backyard, it is time to get out locally and meet some new faces in my neighborhood instead of flying off everywhere else.
There is a lot of truth in the theme song to Alice: Phoenix is one of those cities where you can be the new girl in town even for 9 seasons because you are always meeting new people. While at times frustrating to me, the one thing I can say about Phoenix is if you stop going out for a few months, it is a whole new group of faces at the bars and clubs. I seem to barely go out to the bars/clubs anymore, so it is very rare for me to see a familiar face--most of my free time is spent with current people I consider my friends and family. I learned this lesson in my youth: bars are usually best for meeting alcoholics. Besides, I am sure there are guys out there somewhere besides at bars/clubs who would like to meet a guy who is a little crazy at times, but is always fun to be around. (This is your hint to leave a comment if you are still reading this) Just remember, I do have a 110 minimum IQ rule--You must be this smart to ride this ride. So, if you are dorky (do people still use this word?), don't bother, but a little nerdy would be just fine. While looks are what can first attract me to a person, it is personality that keeps me attracted. It is funny that I even think that way: now that I am in my 30's, my whole outlook on dating, sex, etc, has changed and things that were once important to me are no longer important and vice versa. But, think about it--if you can't stimulate me over dinner, how do you expect to stimulate me in bed?
So as the daytime highs continue their steady decline into a new winter of discontent and the days start getting as short as the skirts worn by the ladies of the night (and some of the guys) on Van Buren, keep in mind that the temperature only has to drop lower on one side of my bedroom window. (I tend to be a very passionate person if I am with someone I like...)
