Should I go fishing or get a friend to hang around? Celebrated GAY Summer 2012

there is a puppy parade.

I highly advise you to obtain a v large sound system and play this on repeat at great volume

The puppies will love it.

i was devastated by my train

i mean it was like the universe was begging

and i said no

bc i was thinking about other things, had i been one beat faster i woulda done it

one time when i had taken a pill i was at the coffeeshop and i had huge sunglasses on and the guy was like did i see you at the thing, the studio

and i was like no but i'm going to a kids music class now

that's the end of the story

So pissed that there's a puppy parade happening only an hr and a half away from me and my puppy aren't there to take part.

*and me AND my puppy..

Sound system is wimpy, but otherwise I'm doing as advised.

Being sick + exhausting workload + cold meds resulted in my posting numerous word salads like this yesterday

I started being thinking feeling when I was 18, at which time

Gah. :(

xp puppy parade!? I want that!

i started being thinking feeling when i was 18 too tbh

Was supposed to say that I started thinking I was fat when I was 18.

I was gonna say, I didn't achieve existential awareness until at least 21.

i went shopping and got a shirt today, i've been into penguin, and i got jeans by DKNY

Second date with the boy last night: drinks and my place. We listened to Stevie Nicks and Wild Flag and made out a fair bit before we took a shower together.

How hygenic of you!

so was the shower

Nice!

(the date story, that is. though I'm pleased yr shower is clean too.)

go alfred go alfred go go go go go

On the bus back from Toronto for six hours. The boy just skyped me on my phone because he was feeling wound up and wanted an audience. Surprised/exhilarated/glad that I managed to shield my screen from the nice old Asian couple behind me.

Of course now I'm all pent up for the next four hours. But whatever.

I've never pent out on a bus or airplane. I suppose it's been done.

I didn't end up dancing last night anyway Alex, I sat around in a weird mood moving waveforms around pretending I was getting shit done.

Tonight though my big gay housemate is doing a BBQ on a little gas stove he just bought, I am so excited

I've never pent out on a bus or airplane. I suppose it's been done.

it has.

alex what is your boyfriend's name

J34n-Fr4nc01s

I haven't de-pented on a bus or plane. I am just pent up. Without any foreseeable release until 11 or so.

Stevie had a wonderful greyhound story iirc.

Sad to hear you were feeling out of sorts Owen but we will find another opportunity to hit the town. BBQs are fun.

omg where is my dealer

the eternal question

word. he just got here with his girlfriend who is like super nice. (he's really hot so i'm not surprised) and we talked about mariah carey

apparently he used to have a supercrush on her when he was a kid (again not a surprising thing)

my dealer is this nice older woman i work with. she has dreadlocks.

ph1l and i are smoking and watching the 3rd season of buffy

I've never pent out on a bus or airplane. I suppose it's been done.

It has. Also on subways and other trains, and you can see numerous recordings of it on your favorite -tube site. Scat and exploitative videos are the only things I'd less like to see than some asshole beating off next to a sleeping stranger or jizzing onto a pole on an O'Hare Blue Line car.

that is certainly a thing i have never done

That just seems unsanitary.

But one can always lean against the wall for that jostling effect.

that is certainly a thing i have never done

I think it's obvious, but I want to be clear: I have not JO'ed on any public vehicle. Also, I'm not judging anyone for a little ficky-fick on a bus, train, or plane, just saying the almost-flasher thing is not cool with me. And filming it is also pretty icky.

Wait, no. I did rub one out through my pocket in 8th grade on the school bus when I was the last passenger. Didn't post it to Xtube though.

there is an article on the guardian explaining people how to be gay and they say you 'have' to cruise but I have never done that. what am I missing. do you guys do this all the time? sounds exciting but im terribly shy. started reading about the stuff on the internet and then I got depressed because of the owen p story, the surm one, and all the cruising I have never done.

it isn't depressing, it's nice! agonizing over whether or not to say hi to someone is a good problem to have. i mean flirting is like a necessary part of being alive.

i intuitively balk at anyone telling me "how" to be gay (iirc the guy who wrote that piece wrote some like really terrible articles for gawker once?) and i've only ever actively cruised in places that were designed for it, e.g. the cock ~3am. i've been cruised a couple of times though. it was nice!

lol

"cruising: it's nice!" - ILX

as Rayanne Graf would say "people throwing themselves at each other? is like, the basis of civilization"

It takes practice. The problem is going to the gay bars and clubs. A girl can reasonably assume that a guy in any context or location is likely hitting on her. Men unfortunately don't think this way.

Yeah, I still can't quite wrap my head around the idea that every person I don't know at a gay bar who talks to me is hitting on me. Doesn't seem plausible.

Whereas if you flirt with another man at a straight bar the man likely thinks you're just being friendly.

its the sober glancing in the 'real world' that is super problematic for me (fight or fly or rejection or meet cute guy = it breaks my nerves) but I will definitely practice ... I totally forgot but I was cruised once too! it was so cool. and yeah the article is terrible don't read it.

I am pretty much the least flirtatious person ever #shylife :/

fuck flirting

omg that was not me that just typed that that was a alterego
