Shades of Billy Idol screaming is what you’re thinking right now, right? Wrong! It’s just the return of my Marcus Monday. I flipped out just a tiny bit last night because Motley was watching TV in my room and she had on In Plain Sight. I was talking to someone in YIM who had expressed the desire to read the Bar and create a character so she can write with us. I glanced over and there’s this way good looking dude being worked over by a physical therapist. For about a minute, I thought it was Marcus. Then I realized something was off and I Googled the show and discovered that it was Christian de la Fuente.
Ahhh. I watch Larry King. I’d seen this guy before and thought he was way hot then. Now, my attraction was ratcheting itself way up the scale toward the Marcus level. Yum. As usual, my first thought was, I need to get dibs on this guy for the Bar before someone else does. And I remembered thinking I needed to save him for the Bar when I’d seen him on Larry King, but I hadn’t acted on it at all. Just so this doesn’t end up like me and Mozy, I’ll have to slap his photo on the Bar as a “to be named later” character.
At any rate, hot as Christian is, Marcus is still hotter. They have this snapshot thing at the sim where they ask long time players to answer a series of questions to give other players a “snapshot” of who they are… one of the questions is who would you want in the next bed if you had to be bedridden in the hospital for 6 months. My first thought was Marcus, of course, but then I wondered if that was a good idea. I mean, bed ridden? I would either be sick or in pain. Certainly not at my best. Would I want a hot guy seeing me like that?
After my second thought passed, the third one came to the fore. I realized that all the hot guys I’ve been with in the past weren’t attracted to me because of my looks. Six months with Marcus and the guy would have to know something of who I am. Either he would find that attractive or he wouldn’t. If he didn’t, oh well. And maybe I wouldn’t find him attractive anymore if I spent that much time with him. I mean, I’m not all about the abs and the pecs usually.
When people wish that they could spend more time with someone, do they really want that? Wouldn’t that spoil half the relationships out there? Because odds are, lots of relationships have a balance and part of that balance is how much time you spend with the other person. Lots of people are making it as a couple because they don’t live in each other’s back pockets.
Personally, that would bug the shit out of me. I need my personal time and space. Chances are, six months in the same room with Marcus, and I would walk out of there wondering what I ever saw in him in the first place. Of course, six months in the same room with anyone would probably do that to me. Still, I can dream of how awesome it would be spend six days in bed with that body. HEH. Oh, yeah. That thought is almost enough to get me typing stewardesses…
Have a great Monday!

Yeah, I hear you. Six months with one other person’s bound to be tough. But you’re right — either he’d love your mind or he’d be a fool and run away.
Minds are sexy. I’ve come to that conclusion. Bodies are great, but it’s all about the brain.
That said, more shirtless Marcus, please!

I work with my hubbie and if I didnt get to go play ball I would have killed him by now. I love him but you can not spend numerous days with one person and expect to get along.

One of the reasons Bill and I get along so great is that he’s not home. Well he is but working 40 hours a week with HVAC, owning his own business besides working for someone else , a fire fighter/ fire cop, and working on ac’s on the side, then he’s home
I get lots of time by myself to do what I want and then time with him, works out well.

Susan - I’ll post a shirtless one next Monday. I’m making a note of that right now…
Mary - Yeah, I think it’s like that for the majority of couples. It’s rare when a couple can spend a lot of time together and still like each other.
Blu - I think people enjoy each other more when there’s a little distance there.

For a minute there, I thought you were talking about Christian Bale. But then I went back and re-read the last name and knew I had never heard of him.

Hon, after spending 6 months with Marcus in a room, you’re going to be lucky if you can walk out of there at all. *winks* *eye wiggle*
