Throw on Your Best Cardigan and Celebrate Fall 2011 with the Gays of ILX

I don't really think the costume means anything, but "I love to craft!" otoh

new ish of the wire came in the the mail today with "dr3w daniel on queer sound" on the cover, i was like "oh hey!"

he's famous

so listen, there's an underwear party in the hood tonight. i just don't know. i have not been going out for a while and i'm feeling sensi. what do we think about this

i think i could keep my shirt on tho

so it would be more like a shirt and minis

it's like a dance party with DJ's you know it's not a eyes wide shut type thing

well, what fun is that?

sometimes ur very smart

anyone else? gut instincts? reactions? what is everyone out?

and btw virginia honey any guy who says he loves to craft is blowin some smoke in the opposite direction if you know what i'm sayin mokaaay

I am being sick for Halloween. (not by choice)

Although maybe for the better since I put no thought at all into a costume this year. I'm bad at Halloween.

i'm sorry dollface

Haha, it's probably for the best if he is gay because otherwise, oops sexual harassment, but on the other hand, how often does an adorable young man fall into my life? Will report back. (He also dresses well and has really nice shoes, and a good haircut, if that's of any import.)

that's hot

out of my league.

get well, donna. I was going to be Jack in The Shining bcz I have the unshaven slob look right now, but didnt buy an axe. (also, I don't like the film, but I can do a reasonable Nicholson)

He is totally hot. Sigh. He doesn't seem gay, but maybe Midwestern gays are different?

I'm seeing "The Shining" at MOMI tomorrow night, 7 pm, if you need any inspiration. I was Harriet the Spy today at work.

Did you wear a hoodie and Converse sneakers and carry a notebook?

Of course. Also wore glasses, binoculars around neck, utility belt with a flashlight, magnifying glass and pouch attached to it. Forgot the Swiss army knife and tomato sandwiches.

Harriet the Spy changed my life b/c it was from her that I learned of the glorious tomato sandwich.

Oh god, I let summer pass without a farmer's market tomato in a sandwich :(

Guy from country bar called and left a voicemail. He sounded so nervous!

ugh, terrible week. i swear, if i fall for another straight boy (and the intern, of course)...:/

hey j0rdan, did you ever try grindr in columbia? good/bad?

well i don't have an iphone so, no

they just got on android recently, been thinking about it, but the immediacy of it bothers me

you kids & Grindr. It's cheating.

grindr for blackberry still hasn't emerged despite their promises

displeased about the growth of halloween as a thing in the uk, h8 fancy dress, it stresses me out. i am going to a halloween rave tonight though.

ha i'm doing the same and uhh... my friend somehow convinced me to go as a wrestler! it's probably been 15 years since i've gone anywhere near a costume, so this is no small feat.

i blacked out at a halloween party last year and later discovered that i behaved terribly. i was dressed as dionysus so i guess i can blame it on an invocation of the godform, but tbh i'm okay with staying in this year and watching just watching some cronenberg & argento flix.

Last night was all Hallowe'en drama and debauchery. But also a lot of dancing, so that was fun.

Went half-assed on costume this year. Just a cowboy, which is boring as fuck compared to last year's high concept group modern art gallery. But I couldn't think of anything as good, so didn't really bother.

Two minds about costumes. They feel like a pain in the ass obligation most years but on the few occasions when you think of something really fun/clever, they can be a blast. Two of my friends went as Cruella deVille and a Dalmatian.

I wore a lycra skeletonsuit costume to DJ in last night at this techno Halloween party at the Bank in Baltimore

kind of a crazy rollercoaster evening

con: a beer was accidentally spilled into my laptop, fucking it up and curtailing my dj set (laptop is now okay, getting cleaned/fixed)
pro: went home with two friends and had ridiculous triangular liason till 5 am
con: had to get up again at 8 am and put on suit and tie to be presentable at university function

so, downs n ups n downs basically

there's hope for us all

Harriet the Spy changed my life

Mine too! And I spied on my neighbors.

too broke to do anything for hw, but I'm not bummed.

going to see a 3D Soviet film (1947) tonight

snow/ice/slush in NY on Oct 29 is creepy enough for me

oh, and (tmi): messing around with a boy and girl at the same time is weird

I remember "Harriet the Spy" having a curiously strong emotional impact on me too

Doesn't it have a friendship-reversal-plot ala "Blubber"? (not to say that they're similar, but)

Sorry, gays: I don't care at all for Halloween, although I usually go to a couple of homo benefit parties. I won't this year though. Plus, in this town you gotta drive everywhere, and the cops are merciless.

oh, and (tmi): messing around with a boy and girl at the same time is weird

It's weird if they're a couple.

My ridiculously simple costume this year is gonna be

I've always wondered what would happen in that scenario and I feel like no matter what it'd be me on the guy and the girl on the guy and the other guy on the girl and it would just be weird.

It's the usual threesome drama compounded: either everybody's interested or it's drama in the morning.

hmmm, same w/ male couple the one time i did that

Doesn't it have a friendship-reversal-plot ala "Blubber"? (not to say that they're similar, but)

Yeah, kinda.

The ending of Harriet the Spy is one of the most poignant I've read. Fitzhugh finds the right note ("Sometimes you have to lie").

<3 Ole Golly.

In March 2010, Disney Channel premiered an all-new version of the story, entitled Blog Wars, with Wizards of Waverly Place cast member Jennifer Stone as Harriet, Alexander Conti from Cheaper by the Dozen 2 (2005) as Harriet's friend Sport, and Degrassi: The Next Generation's Melinda Shankar as Janie.

Oh dear.

in this case- I had a long n torrid affair with the guy ending a year ago, he used to go out with the girl, and I've been making out with the girl lately at shows in a "drunk n experimental so fuckit" kinda mode, so there are various layers of "ex-ness" going on too

fun, would do again

haha excellent -- you're my kind of hedonist, dr#w.

We def must meet if I visit Baltimore soon.

Leave it to you guys to turn an innocent Halloween discussion into a litany of all our perversions. God luv ya <3
