For the Curious (ie Niko)
Yeah, that shirt. It's gone to the shirt graveyard along with the tapered stretch brown denim jeans and boots that buckled around the ankle that I wore with it. Ye gods, dressed like that it's a miracle he called at all. Eh-hem. . .
I guess I'll let you off the hook now. My nocturnal caller, or my "gentleman caller" as Fatima calls him, is none other than Gulzar my tour group driver, who I met in Pakistan all those years ago.
We kept in touch for a long time after that trip, I even had a trip booked to to go back (that I had to cancel when I got sick), then we lost contact. After that earthquake in October I sent him a note via his old employer to see if he was OK. I wasn't expecting an answer but I sure am happy I got one. I have no idea where it's going but am going to enjoy it!
Here is what he used to look like (he's on the left)
Speaking of new pics, when did you add that profile pic?

"Distinguished" is a good word. Nice eyes.
I added that pic . . . heh . . . after I read your blog post about vanity. I thought "I need a recent photo," so I took one with my digital camera (which lives on top of the desk that's behind me in the pic). It was the end of a long day, and I actually look some where close to my age. Plus, my nose looks huge. But I kind of like it (the pic, that is).

You should see his eyes when he smiles!
What I find funny about the picture situation is that a guy thinks "I need send a picture, well any old one will do. How about this one from the firing squad?" Yikes! Why not send your driver's license or passport photo? //grin//
I guess it's good to look your age, or at least close to it, and your nose doesn't look that big. My picture goal is for him to think "damn, she looks good" (or the Urdu equivalent), instead of "hmm, she gained weight."
Oh yeah, I've lost 10 lbs since Xmas!! All that walking from the parking lot to Bistro is helping.

Lost lbs? Cool! I think I've gained. Bleah. Too much not moving in the cold weather (but the shoots coming up in the apt bldg's garden swear it's spring now). Mostly I only look my age at the end of a long day. Or first thing in the morning, when I also look mostly dead. (Look out! Zombie heading for the teakettle!)
Re. firing squad. Heh. Yes, that does seem to be the way men think, wherever in the world they may be from. (Some guy I don't know once sent me naked pictures (well, only waist-up shots, thankfully!). I was sooo tempted to put them on my blog.)

I think I need to know more about naked picture guy. //grin// How bizarre. Why would someone do that?

I've no idea why he did it. He said he saw my pic on my Yahoo profile (which I only had because my website is on Geocities, which is now part of Yahoo). He said he liked my long hair and dark eyes (it was the same pic I used to have in my Blogger profile). Kind of creepy. Actually, really creepy.

Oh, and he was hairy and chubby, and not really the ideal naked picture sort. (Not that I would hold being hairy and chubby against anyone if, you know, I met them and they asked me out the regular way.)
