It’s Aydika’s birthday today, and she’s about one bajillion miles away. She’s in some city in Japan somewhere, doing something or other with some Japanese people for some reason. I should really do better keeping up on what she’s doing, but my interests are mostly selfish, and what I’ve been thinking about most is that I miss her.
She’s been gone since the 24th of November, and we won’t be meeting up again until the 8th of December, but I suspect it should be a very happy reunion. I have a team meeting in Vegas starting the day she comes back, and she’s going to fly out to meet me.
In my solitude, I’ve had a lot of time to sit around and think about all the reasons I love her. She’s intelligent, sure, and obviously beautiful, but with Vegas coming up, I’ve been reviewing some photographic evidence of her sense of adventure. We went to Vegas a couple times last year, and she was more than happy to either orchestrate, or go along with, whatever stupid scheme fit the occasion.
One of the more stunning examples of her ability to have a good time was documented quite well during our visit to the Star Trek exhibit at the Hilton. We wanted to have our photo taken on the bridge of the Enterprise, but in a very special way. It took some convincing since the photographer wasn’t sure if it was “against the rules,” but we got our way:
Check out the Vulcan hand signs on her buttocks
After the Enterprise photo shoot, we went down to the bar and further harassed the indigenous peoples of the Star Trek exhibit.
We ran into a couple of guys who were just so darn cute. Aydika sat down between them, and they were all like, “What’s that?!” and I was all, “It’s a woman – that’s like you, but without a penis,” and they were both like all, “Whoah.”
Two very lucky, very uncomfortable Star Trek nerds
I started to get jealous, though, when the meaning of “without a penis” started to sink in for these guys, so I popped in to police the situation:
Everywhere we went, we were ambassadors of joy - just *look* at those smiles
On the way out, Aydika grabbed some b0rg ass:
Vegas has no HR department, so you can do stuff like this without getting sued
Finally, we went back the next day and Aydika said goodbye to one of her friends:
See what I mean about that HR department?
Also, here’s a funny picture of a cat for good measure:
Anyway, I love you, woman, and happy birthday.
I’m sorry about the cat thing, but I found it when I was going through my old photos.
