rickps | YeaUH, Boy, YeaUH!

Have you ever had the experience of meeting someone, knowing instinctively that you'd be friends? On rare occasions, I've had just that experience. I'd met Stephen (LJ's own dakoopst) some four years ago when we were both attending a mutual friends commitment ceremony (Stephen insists that we also met at a Tucson bear run some years earlier but I honestly have no recollection of doing so, such is my failing memory). Nearly instant rapport though we chatted only briefly, a feeling that I'd known him for years. Nice, nice.

Fast forward to this past Thursday when Stephen came into town for a conference. Over dinner, we talked of our lives, loves, aspirations. We talked of people we knew in common, shared childhood experiences, our favorite TV shows. At some point, I'm not certain why, we discovered an irresistable need to imitate porn legend Steve Hurley's "YeaUH Boy!". Lots of laughter ensued, Stephen insisting that mine was the more authentic rendition. YeaUH Boy!

Such a great evening. Gotta love it when your instincts prove correct.

Oh yeah, he's cute as the dickens too, despite his denials.

Add a new friend to the list!
