Now that we found love what are we gonna do? The Winter 2011-12 Gay Thread

some thoughts/questions:

- donna, your bf's poetry reminds me a bit of Ashbery. and Dean Young. which is a good thing.

- j0rdan, did you tell the parents? it actually will make things much easier.

- haven't seen my bf since sunday, and i am going crazy. good thing we're hanging tonight. (as in yeah, i understand all yall being lovey-dovey/missing yr boyfriends).

- Rev, i can't remember your exact situation atm, but seriously: is there a way you can just get the hell out of whatever situation yr in? it makes me sad to see you sad.

- c0rey, DO NOT WORRY ABOUT THE FUTURE with the boyfriend. everything will work out just fine, enjoy what's happening now.

also, any suggestions for pranks to play on my horrible housemate before i move out? i was thinking about putting something gross in his extraordinarily loud juicer. like a mouse.

jizz

but he's gay he might like that.

santorum.

blame the election year

i have always wanted to upper deck someone. so simple and so disgusting.

- j0rdan, did you tell the parents? it actually will make things much easier.

nah, i wussed out. on to the next one...

Urgh. A former hook-up asked if I wanted to hang out later tonight and I had to give this long spiel about how I'm in a pretty committed relationship at the moment and that if we hung out we would probably hookup, and by doing so I'd be lying to Phillip and him as well. I really hate excluding people, but if it's a choice between possibly hurting someone's feelings and betraying my loved one, the right decision is clear (but still sucks to make).

You could always hang out and NOT hook up?

Idk if you can't that suggests to me you don't have much more of a relationship with that dude beyond sex so it's not a huge loss right?

i'm sure C is generally a good judge of what constitutes an unnecessary temptation.

Pretty much — we met via a hookup site and and our relationship has been framed as almost exclusively sexual. I just hate telling anyone "no".

had a pretty great... um... date? i'm actually not sure if it was a date or not but he's awesome & cute... and we had great convo... *swoons*

*swoons* is always a good way to end a post. Yay.

I'm having vegetarian brunch with JF at the not-officially-lesbian-but-totally-lesbian-cafe in our neighbourhood.

hello

hi!

meow

what's going on ?

etta james

hi!

My ex finally finished "home improvements" at his place a few weeks ago and has been after me to pay a house call. I wouldn't mind the booty but lately his conversational range has contracted thinner than my hairline.

i bought a rice cooker. many wholesome grains await me in he future.

also i have booked a flight to SFO for a gay wedding in september.

really need to get up there again one of these days

and i have another gay wedding to attend in nyc in july.

i've never been to a gay wedding. i went to a house party on saturday and this guy i'm maybe vaguely interested in (haven't quite worked this out) (which means i'm not THAT interested really) didn't show up and i had a v nice time. now i'm absolutely famished due to having LITERALLY NO FOOD in the house apart from enough pasta for one meal (which means i can't eat it too early otherwise i'll get hungry again before i go to bed) because i ordered the grocery shop for tomorrow instead of today :(

maybe it balances out my ploughing through six consecutive pies and a bratwurst yesterday to combat my hangover (v successfully)

six pies??

2x steak and cheddar, 2x salmon and asparagus, 2x lentil and garlic tarts

i can be v greedy when i put my mind to it

Roger Ebert claims you can cook anything in a rice cooker, or did when he was still eating food.

how big were these pies???

british sized.

well I'm glad lex did some ploughing. Daylight Savings ruined my weekend, all I did was write about Adrien Brody and Visconti.

did they hook up?

normal sized? like just a bit bigger than a scotch egg.

i had a mostly terrific three-day weekend save for some weird saturday night sickness (we got int'l women's day off)

i bought a rice cooker mostly because i am horribly inconsistent at the task of making rice. the thing came with a instruction booklet with recipes. you can cook chunks of chicken with the included steamer basket, but that is a horrible idea and i will do no such thing.

i only eat steamed meat at the bathhouse

heyo

(we got int'l women's day off)

elmo, i always follow this old rule with grains: fill up the pot with the grains yr cookin, put your index finger on top of the grains, then slowly fill with water until it reaches the first knuckle. according to this master chef woman whose books i've read, this is the way most people throughout the world cook their grains, cuz who the fuck has a measuring cup? anyway, since i started doing it, it has never failed me. kind of amazing.

also, from wednesday-sunday morning were some of the most insane days of my entire life. th3o and i hung out with friends til late on wednesday, then made a picnic and rode his motorcycle along the coast up to Land's End on thursday, had awesome sex next to the ocean on some rocks....then proceeded to pick up some friends in a car and go to a punk show in the east bay, after that sneaking into this big abandoned warehouse with great graffiti....friday we made beats until late in the evening, then saturday, we got up super early because our friend was in the hospital after an accident, wandered around sleepless for several hours, then napped, went to a party at this squat in the city, then travelled to the east bay again to go to this other squat party which ended in an orgy, then a weird fight b/w me and the3o, then a kiss and make up, then yesterday, we went clothes shopping at the dollar racks and nursed our hangover over some lazy games of pool in the dive bar near his house.

uh.. yeah. the older i get, the more totally weird and awesome my life seems to get.

oh and yeah, elmo, please do call when you are here for the wedding, if you have time. and donna, obviously you too.

i have my 2nd gay weddin at the end of the month. it's at the Four Seasons! o snap!

it's kind of funny how so many of you coupled up right around the time that i started settling into single life.

had to go to DC for work last week. not sure i'll ever be able to go back there without it feeling completely surreal and melancholy. also kind of marvel at how long i lasted there because it holds very little appeal for me now. i figure it helped having a bf almost the whole time i was there.

got to spend about 3 glorious minutes with my ex while i was there. he has a new bf now, which i think is good for him and fully support, but his ex isn't comfortable with us seeing each other. such a bummer. anyway, he snuck out to say hi and we could barely contain ourselves lol. i still love him to death.

I helped my friends move house and went to see Nguzunguzu, who were kind of disappointing and probably should have played a smaller venue. This weekend, I'm djing a house un-warming party at the now empty old house.

i have this incredibly poetic of you djing in an empty house playing nothing but ghosts and memories

image of you

but his ex isn't comfortable with us seeing each other

ugh this attitude is so nagl

all I do anymore is watch movies. Tonight was LA Confidential, last night was Parting Glances, tomorrow will probably be Hour of the Wolf and then the new ep of Drag Race

sometimes I go to Trader Joe's and buy tortillas and spend an evening making 8 or 10 burritos and freezing them to eat for lunch of work and then I sit on my couch and pet my cat and watch Mary Tyler Moore.

I remember when I used to have things to say and stories to tell

Also come on t you are totally fronting w this measuring cup business
