But You Lost It Somehow

[dotinthesky]

Yesterday, I arrived earlier than usual at my gym in the hopes of finding the place empty. Although the weight room was as busy as usual, there was nobody in the locker room apart from one guy entering the communal showers.

I put down my bag and started getting changed. I noticed something fly past me: he'd strolled out naked and chucked his underwear on his pile of clothes. When he went back to the shower, he moved to a shower that stood directly in my line of vision.

I noticed he was staring intently at me as he soaped himself. He was probably in his early 30s, asian, muscular but not lean. I looked a second time, to be sure I wasn't imagining things (I thought until yesterday my gym was the straightest one in London). Turned out he REALLY was staring at me.

What disturbed me about the whole thing was that he had his mobile phone propped up on a bench beside the shower, blasting a R'n'B version of Roxette's "It Must Have Been Love" as sung by chipmunks.

Do you know for sure that American Animal Crossing DS is compatible with the British version? If it is, I'll get it!

[beeorkendurkey.livejournal.com]

nah, no idea really.
i just thought it nifty to be able to respond to you in "real time."
hello, you're awake!

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Trying to "work". :-)

[beeorkendurkey.livejournal.com]

"Work"?!?! I'm just getting home from the pubs!

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

It's sunny here, and I had a kick ass coffee that's helping somewhat in my motivation (did fuck all yesterday - bad me). No sleep for the wicked.

[foucaultonacid.livejournal.com]

forgive them oh lord for they now not what they do - and should be nevertheless punished via much ass pounding until they realise it

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

But that's not much of a punishment if that's exactly what they want!

[foucaultonacid.livejournal.com]

oh so now i've got to care about what they want... sheesh...

[beeorkendurkey.livejournal.com]

i almost expected this to have a "noddie land" tag on it. but no.
we would be such a good duo. checking them out, exchanging locker room stories, other.

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

I'd dress you up as a drag king and sneak you in there. maybe we'd visit gay saunas together, for the first time. so you can be initiated into the secrets...

[beeorkendurkey.livejournal.com]

i don't know. i might be able to do that, but i think i look fairly girly. we'll work on it. dust me up a bit. i would like to be initiated into secret gay culture, saunas, etc. the gossip would be neverENDING.

start taking some testosterone pills and doing push ups in the mornings. let me know when your first whiskers start growing.

[beeorkendurkey.livejournal.com]

will do. should i start a new journal? testosteronurkey?
no. definitely not. none of those things.

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

journal: testosterona, testeeorkendukey, beeorkentesteys?

The music really doesn't help in his campaign for a good seeing to, really. Unless he wanted to be beaten up, of course.

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Thing is, his choice of music wasn't that odd for the other men in the gym (they like that sort of stuff). Maybe his tactics worked before on them?

[moveslikegiallo.livejournal.com]

I have had that Roxette song in my head all morning now! Woe!

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Wait until I send you the chipmunk version.

It'd be funny if it wasn't so disturbing. I'd really freak out if someone did that to me in the gym... unless he was really hot in which case I might get excited (except for the chipmunks singing)

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

If he was incredibly hot, I might overlook the music but I'd still feel uncomfortable. Those types of situation make me extremely shy!

[amberholic.livejournal.com]

I never know what to do when random people make such bold advances. It used to happen to me from time to time that some real hottie would come up to me and because I didn't expect it, I would just get really quiet and refuse their advances.

Next time it happens, I'll be ready.

[frankeecymraeg.livejournal.com]

sooo basically if I used these tactics I'd get somewhere.....

*takes notes*

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Download a copy of the chipmunk's version and start training. ;-)

[frankeecymraeg.livejournal.com]

oh believe me, I fucking will.

[frankeecymraeg.livejournal.com]

just as soon as I freaking find it...

[vrax.livejournal.com]

He wants you call him Alvin and send him to his room. Holy shit, the fuckin chipmunks. Oh man I am going to laugh all day about that.

Sorry you had to be semi-stalked in order to bring laughter to the world.

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

I don't mind being stalked if it means the sun shines for one more day. ;-)

[vrax.livejournal.com]

Jeez, I guess it could have been worse if the chipmunnks were bombarding you with "you are my sunshine, my only sunshine..."

Haha.

[rag-and-bone.livejournal.com]

lay your skivvies on my clothing
leave your cell phone on the bench
in the shower
a spell of chipmunks
and boys naked, all around...

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

collecting nuts...

[live-life-like.livejournal.com]

......hahahahaha...naked, staring, chipmunnks...

[phyrephly.livejournal.com]

hahaha that summed it up for me too

[sublimevisions.livejournal.com]

weird things happen in men's locker rooms.
this is why not making eye contact can help prove that ignorance is bliss ;)

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Will I have to start wearing ear plugs too to escape the music? ;-)

[fj.livejournal.com]

There's no suh thing as a straight gym.

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

I had to learn it the hard way.

[kevyn-kronycles.livejournal.com]

"blasting a R'n'B version of Roxette's "It Must Have Been Love" as sung by chipmunks"...that's so wrong

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Hell yeah.

[sor-eye-ah.livejournal.com]

You are such hot stuff you get picked up in a gym shower :D

My record still stands for oddest pick up place - the post office :P Hrm... now there is a question for lj peoples.

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

I think in this occasion he was picking up anyone that stumbled in. :-)

Dancing soon?

[sor-eye-ah.livejournal.com]

oh yes! Dancing very soon! Sat night Pref.

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

I'm going to spin you around the dancefloor all night long.

[sor-eye-ah.livejournal.com]

oh baby, didn't know you were that way inclined!
