lol you guys. i didn’t see it coming but only because i’m a dumbass. i didn’t really like the job anyway. kind of hoping the stock market goes down in flames tbh. can’t wait to smile thru kylie and carly playing over my janky budget equipment on the slopes while the boys do shots tho. appreciate everyone’s patience while i cash in my meager venting chips thank u

I’ve been occasionally DJing at a gay happy hour in my neighborhood these past few months. it’s been fun but the bar where it’s taken place is closing next month so I gotta find something new soon. there was one night that turned out to be a Bowie tribute night and I was only given a few days notice of this fact, but the host/venue was otherwise pretty laissez-faire about what I play, which is nice
― donna rouge, Friday, 28 February 2020 02:20 (four years ago) link
thanks donna. i saw your night on fb - looked like lots of fun and i wish i could have made it! do you have any idea if you have any upcoming possibilities for gigs?
― i am a horse girl (map), Friday, 28 February 2020 05:36 (four years ago) link
so i haven't been with a guy in like a month. there's something going on with my body and it's really not fun. i'm going to the doctor for like the sixth time today. i keep preemptively accepting the fact that i will never love again. WHO KNOWS . . . . . . . . .

thx donnadear
i had a phone pre-interview for a staff job yesterday; the interviewer was a recent college grad. I felt like Mickey Rooney (if he was still breathing).
― brooklyn suicide cult (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 3 March 2020 19:52 (four years ago) link

The absolute wrong thread for this but ... wedding planning suits me (literally).

i'm sorely in need of a double income; my planning would end there

I did it for basically a decade more or less.
― crusty but malignant (Eric H.), Thursday, 5 March 2020 20:42 (four years ago) link
The answer is no.
great

i've been drumming up things i can do with my life moving forward given the sudden realization that i'm a silly grown fey gay man who may not be having sex for a while
i've come up with:playing the keyboard wearing more eccentric clotheswalking around my house watching moviesdiscovering new ambient music
it's not a terrible list, i dunno
― surm, Thursday, 5 March 2020 20:51 (four years ago) link
To be fair, playing the keyboard was one of the only things that really got me through the celibacy.
― crusty but malignant (Eric H.), Thursday, 5 March 2020 20:52 (four years ago) link
u know what you're practically glowing through the computer screen, i am very happy for your new life!
― surm, Thursday, 5 March 2020 20:53 (four years ago) link
don't do it, surm, it'd be a deprivation for you and whoever else
― brooklyn suicide cult (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 5 March 2020 20:59 (four years ago) link
then again as someone who usu indulges via... parties... i wonder if coronavirus should change that
hmmm, no
― brooklyn suicide cult (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 5 March 2020 21:01 (four years ago) link
o right u like the parties
that's very sweet of you, what you said, i'm really juggling the options. it feels weird so far, you know it's only been a month. i look kinda disastrous so i probably need to plan like a salon day.
― surm, Thursday, 5 March 2020 21:13 (four years ago) link
oh shit i’ve only just realised these threads are full queer now. hello fellow queers!

oh snap! i didn't know you were queer! weeheeeeeeee!!!

(by that, i mean i didn’t feel right posting in what were nominally gay threads)
― karmic blowback for dissing pip and jane baker (Autumn Almanac), Friday, 6 March 2020 21:08 (four years ago) link
yes we're very queer now i never liked the word gay tbh, i don't even identify as gay even though i'm a man who likes men!
― surm, Friday, 6 March 2020 21:09 (four years ago) link
xp yeah, i went through a whole bisexual coming-out process last year, complete with counselling and therapy groups
― karmic blowback for dissing pip and jane baker (Autumn Almanac), Friday, 6 March 2020 21:10 (four years ago) link
that's amazing! so proactive and positive.
― surm, Friday, 6 March 2020 21:11 (four years ago) link
oh i completely get that, the label thing can be frustrating when attraction/identity are so much more complicated

<3 are you like seeing people now?
― surm, Friday, 6 March 2020 21:12 (four years ago) link
no change to my life at all, i just didn’t want to keep hiding who i am (although it’s properly grand to see a staggeringly hot dude at a carnival and grab my mate and say “just don’t talk to me for the next 20 seconds, just don’t”)

It would be presumptive of me to identify as queer tbh. But luckily this thread welcomes all kinds!
