I'm not *that* rock n roll

I like to think I'm pretty rock 'n roll. After all, I'm in a rock 'n roll band. I've got the bass guitar, the rebel hair, the special section of my closet devoted to "show clothes." That last one may be more "woman" than "rock n roller," but ask any woman in a band, and she's got that section of her closet, so I'm counting it. I don't have tattoos or a drug habit, so I take my rocker cred where I can find it.

But tonight, on a walk through the neighborhood with Johnny, I found out I'm actually pretty tame.

Johnny and I go on walks through the hood pretty often. We know many of our neighbors, and I know where all the friendly cats are that will let me pet them. But we usually don't see anything too exciting. Except for tonight.

As we were finishing up our route, coming up the street behind ours, we came upon a truck. Across the street from the truck was a house where someone was working in their side/back yard. The far side door of the truck was open, meaning the dome light in the cab was on. I saw a little bit of movement by the open door and thought maybe the truck belonged to someone working in that yard, and they were getting a tool or something out of the cab.

As we passed by the driver's side door, and I glanced to my right, and I saw...well, I did not see someone grabbing a tool...or maybe I did. Because what I saw was a lot of white skin (too much really - if you're going to do that, work out or something), possibly some underwear, and a lot of writhing around. I also heard something - a woman making noises like something felt really good and by God she wanted the strangers walking past the truck to KNOW it!

I snapped my head to the left and looked at Johnny, who never broke stride, and asked, "Are they seriously having sex in there?"

Johnny: "Yup."

Me: "On a neighborhood street,with the door open and the dome light on?"

Johnny: "Yup."

Me: "Okaaaaay." (pause) "Really? With people right there working?" I stole a quick glance back, but it was too quick, and I really couldn't see anything without looking longer - a wasted effort, and considering they were in public, I really had every right to make a longer inspection of the situation to make sure I wasn't being punked or something. I regret not being more bold, in light of how bold they were being. It probably would've added to their experience, and I'd have more detail for you, my loyal readers. So, in retrospect, it would have been a public service.

Johnny: "I tried not to get too good of a look, but yes, really."

I pondered this the rest of the walk home and realized that what with my current lack of public sex AND vehicle sex, much less both at the same time, I may not be as rock 'n roll as I think.

Oh sure - I also didn't go to jail tonight and possibly ruin my life by being labeled a sex offender (yes, that can happen). But that probably also detracts from my rocker cred. I guess I'll just have to live with that...and take pictures from now on when I see stuff like that.
