Babygirl, unpack yr sweaters and get FABULOUS in FALL gay homo queer &c 2012

That was a blast. We went to some graffiti-themed restaurant with drinks named FUTURA and Shepard Fairey and Ryan McGinley which was p lol but the fingerling-chorizo hash they served us was nothing to laugh at and I am fairly cross that I don't have any in front if me right now

A "yes" on OKC to the question "do you like horror movies" is one of the only things I've made mandatory.

I really want Morbs to get a big piece of posterboard and make a SCRAM, YOU LITTLE SHITS sign for his door

I buy candy every year but the Message Went Out that the Grinch in Apartment 104 hid in the bathroom in 2005.

I have a doorman, which means we only get no-neck monsters from inside the building. I think there were two last year. Which means if I buy any candy I have to eat nearly all of it.

we have kids in my apt building but not enough to justify buying a bunch of bags of candy that i'm just gonna eat myself anyway

lol xp?

Jeez, you ppl. All it takes for me to justify buying a big bag of candy is "oh look there's a big bag of candy on that shelf, I want it, let me go buy it"

I should be That Guy who throws pennies in the trick or treat bags.

I'd just swipe a half-dozen pieces from other people's desks at work the day before. No muss, no fuss.

Like on Nov 1 imma head down to superfresh and just buy like 6 bags of Mounds and Raisinets and Butterfingers for 75% off, y'all can just chill behind w yr rice cakes

we will chill behind and beneath our fingerling-chorizo hash and ropa vieja empanadas, thanks

You'll both be chilling in the bathroom or on your charcoal-filled seat cusions imo.

guys i'm eating yogurt stop it

will take hash and empanadas over candy tbh

I can get behind a Nov 1 chocolate binge as long as my bottle of vanilla vodka has to sit untouched in the cabinet.

also, no str8 ppl taking the hint that I need to watch the World Series on their couch tonight

i like halloween, just not so much this year. can't be bothered

i dunno guys, must admit i'm pretty excited about my Bane costume this year. :)

well, now I'm excited about it too!

Yeah, looking forward to that pic tbh.

Will probably just shave my head and wear that skull face scarf I bought.

Shit, I haven't even thought about costumes yet. Though for the past 3 years I've wanted to go as either Mary Hartman or Camilla Rhodes

the rumor that you will be Black Swan is unfounded, Eric?

hah SD i can tot see you in the pigtails.

bf trying to get me to go all out and shave all my hair off. don't think i can handle that.

Trying to decide what this year's Halloween classic horror should be. Did The Thing last year. Too easy for me to just fall back on The Shining.

Phantasm

I could never be the Black Swan. Reason: "That was me seducing you. It needs to be the other way around."

well, i decided to go to the wedding after all - he's off to italy the next day so i won't see him for a week (why i'm not going with him is a mystery, i was invited but i am incapable of being spontaneous, esp with my own money, but GOD, HOT WEATHER seems so tempting)

how do people find the time to be in relationships? i feel like i literally can't cope with juggling work/life admin/making time to see him. I DON'T HAVE THIS MUCH TIME IN MY LIFE. and this is just to see him 2-3 times per week, those couples who are permanently with each other are just a total mystery (never wanna be like them either)

If I ever get a companion, it's separate bedrooms.

If I ever get a companion, I'm going to crawl inside their body.

if i ever live with a boyfriend (LOL) separate bedrooms is a must

Ugh but then there's so much time wasted in commuting

Time gained in sleeping imo

Cohabitation > everything
I've lived w some slobby derpressed lovers too but it makes everything fantastic

It occurs to me I could probably pull off a Joaquin in The Master Halloween costume this year.

my boyfriend is literally my favorite human being in the world and i get sad when we are apart for very long so that's my excuse

Cohabitation > everything

better than a Hendrick's martini with a twist?

the gin and the twist are cohabitating

my boyfriend is literally my favorite human being in the world and i get sad when we are apart for very long so that's my excuse

this is one of those sentiments that makes me squint at people and wonder if they can teach me to be human

and i LIKE a boy atm and everything

It's the mutual thing that's hard for me to buy in many cases. Like, I can clearly see in a lot of relationships where one person is more devoted to the other one. But I'm sure there are tradeoffs.

I get slightly crazy when bf isn't around and do things like overshare on message boards
He's on vacation right now, took off to Istanbul the bastard
When he's around I'm twice as good, squint away
He's sending me some extremely delicious looking food photos

mmmm food porn

We're total opposites, though, he un-WASPs me and defuses my anxiety, gets me out of workaholic mode, and in turn I help him with logic, punctuality and comprehension
(You can tell which one is the hit at the party)

Can you both play cribbage?

No
Different gaming styles. He once overturned a card table bc I wouldn't show my hand after out betting him
He's fun, you'd like him
We sleep together and shower together but watch different TV shows
Him: Project Runway, Top Chef. Me: Game of Thrones, RuPaul

i have co-habbing fantasies (mostly = trolling craigslist rentals for 1-BRs with yards)

before this relationship i'd forgotten how nice it is to shower together

oh I love showering together.

seems counterproductive!

how do people find the time to be in relationships? i feel like i literally can't cope with juggling work/life admin/making time to see him.

if you move in together then it's really not some laborious task or duty involving scheduling and seeing if you can squeeze someone in etc. I live with my boyfriend and it's great. TMI but: I wake up first and I go feed the cat and make the coffee and bring him a cup in bed and then I get dressed and walk out the door to my job. I come home, there is, he/we cook dinner, talk, do our thing- sometimes together, sometimes I go off and take care of whatever I need to take care of, then, when it's time to go to bed, there he is. We read to each other in bed, working through novels a chapter a night. Repeat. We also make records together and go on tour together and spend months and months being together all day everyday, but we can just as easily break out and accomplish things on our own, even with very time consuming jobs. i.e. you can be joined at the ass in the sense of tight with each other, really close and intuitively connected without being, er, "joined at the ass" in the sense of caught in a co-dependent and high maintenance vortex of nagging and obligation that sucks up all your time and energy. The workload for my job is really intense, no kidding, I am often in my office working until 2 am- but my bf helps me handle that. I have found that having a boyfriend makes it easier to do your job well- there's someone else to help you out in lots of big and little ways domestically and emotionally, and yeah that's a two way street and you need to help them out sometimes too, but it really is possible to do a demanding job while still having a boyfriend. Just saying it's not a choice between Option A and Option B. I'm not saying you should want this or that there's one normative pattern for "smug marrieds" and everyone else is rong, but I am saying a relationship should (ideally) make you more rather than less capable of being yourself. This Halloween will be our 20th anniversary.
