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).

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

― surm, Thursday, 5 March 2020 20:31 (four years ago) link
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!!!
― surm, Friday, 6 March 2020 21:08 (four years ago) link
(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
― karmic blowback for dissing pip and jane baker (Autumn Almanac), Friday, 6 March 2020 21:11 (four years ago) link
<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”)
― karmic blowback for dissing pip and jane baker (Autumn Almanac), Friday, 6 March 2020 21:15 (four years ago) link
:D :D :D love it

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

Instead of celibacy, I gorge on Muriel Spark novel.s

have you done the deed yet?
― TikTok to the (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 6 March 2020 21:39 (four years ago) link
“done the deed” bahahahahafwiw i identify as queer because sometimes it’s easier than having to explain things (including the 1990s)

Lately I've been really enjoying mangling Twitter slang irl. "I enjoy to see it." "I hate to see that." "And that's the that on it, question mark."
