Now that we found love what are we gonna do? The Winter 2011-12 Gay Thread

But I'm sure it at least feels like you're working toward something, which is a good feeling.

At this early stage my classes seem almost too easy. I think I'm going to get my ass kicked once I get to a level where actual effort is expected.

Important news:

Jesse and I are going to see Diamanda Galas at the MCA on Feb. 23.

As of today I am a volunteer at Philly's LGBT archives and holy fucking shit, I am in paradise. There is so much stuff here. Including:

what years did that run?

Sometime in the 50s?

Right now I'm poring over back issues of this porn/erotica/personals magazine called DADDY. And there's an ad for pubic hair softener in this issue of Fast Pace from 1971

i went to a queer archives panel on tuesday, there's an accompanying exhibit with some of those ONE issues, charles pierce's mae west moppette, lesbian softball jerseys, etc

I feel like I should have studied archiving :-( I need to learn abt this shit

love the display name stevie x

the ONE archives in l.a. is connected to the magazine right?

yep

yeah but i think you're totally gonna reap the benefit of having spent some time just learning and educating yourself. i always feel like i'm not ready for the classes i'm taking. i mean there's pros and cons obviously, i know your're gonna really love it. being out of school for a couple of years is really making me appreciate it.

also can i mention that grindr is so fn tedious.

Grindr has totally lost its appeal to me. So has sleeping around in general, for that matter. I guess my "wild youth" days are behind me :-(

Like if my boyfriend and I try to start a movie after like 10pm I will fall asleep before its over. Also I haven't slept past 8 or 9am or so in weeks. Also I got way too excited about buying a bookshelf at Ikea last week.

Oh i dunno, Grindr can be startling too- I just had the jarring experience on Grindr of a blonde, 6 foot 5 sporty n fit looking twenty year old tell me out of the blue that I was very handsome only to realize, upon closer inspection, that he was a former student of mine- he apparently didn't recognize my pic without glasses and suit and tie? I explained that I couldn't flirt with undergrads but was happy to have a friendly chat. I wouldn't file that under "tedious" but under "the one that got away" . . .

oh and hi all and thanks Morbz for coming to that metal night, that was fun

congrats on cool job Stevie

it was fun! my friend and i both loved yr jacket.

stevie u r so dead to me. this thread is so gentrified now.

i think these threads were always pretty gentrified tbh

nah i remember when it was black lesbians for miles

black lesbians can gentrify themselves too

Ph!l and I have essentially decided that we want to be monogamous. For the first few months I wasn't totally sure but I think it's a good idea. I feel like I'm in it for the long haul. I told him yesterday, "I'm not going anywhere."

I haven't bought a bookshelf yet though. I'm actually slowly giving him all my books cuz I don't want 'em anymore.

T, if it makes you feel better I think my pathetic cocksucker slut years are just in front of me, so I'm doing my part.

don't mind me, i went out last night and didn't get laid and being hungover always makes me super horney anyway

but morbs that does make me feel better.

being hungover always makes me super horney anyway

yes! there's even a thread about that here somewhere

anyway i've been distracted all day by some cypriot pretending to be coy. if he wasn't cute in his profile pic i would be doing my reading for class.

ran into a guy i went on a date with at an art opening last night

on a saturday?

also ended up hooking with this guy after we went back to my place for drinks earlier this week. hadn't really planned on that but it was nice. (he told me afterwards he's not looking for a relationship and i was like "cool! me neither!" would that it always went that smoothly)

yes

this show, which is terrific (that giant wall installation is amazing - took some photos of it last night but they were all fairly blurred)

Ooh! Also tbh T they might return someday! Maybe I'm just having a phase of chastity?

I never had sleeping around days, I guess. Never figured out *how* to do it. I dunno. It's not like I'm opposed to the concept - hell, I'm allowed to - but the entire concept of picking up guys remains totally daunting and confusing to me. I feel like I stumbled into a pretty decent relationship through dumb luck.

Tbh, school and life are so exhausting these days I don't have it in me to go out that much (and despite not picking up ever, I love going out). Went to a concert Friday night that ended at 2:30 for the first time in months and Saturday I was hungover and unproductive until sundown.

The boy's been expressing a desire to indulge in his 'wild youth' days, though, so I guess I'll just live vicariously through him.

And wait. Confused. tanuki = c0rey, so who is judith?

really its only the picking up guys part i enjoy. sometimes i feel like i get bored halfway through sex let alone relationships.

oh, it's Ti4rn4n. nevermind. hi!

my brain still hasn't recovered from friday night, clearly. ugh.

hey!

hey jude <3

Same here, minus the stumbling into a relationship part.

I do, I must say, sorta savor being able to tell stories from my *CRAZY PAST* or w/e. I was talking abt sex stuff to my friend at work the other day and I was all "Did I ever tell you abt the time I fucked a rabbi?" and she nearly shit herself.

i have had the worst 24 hours of trying to get laid. normally i am super good at this.

also, hey jed. <3 <3

A Rabbi?

Like... reform? Or modern orthodox? You get more points/respect from me the further up the theological chain you go.

i am doing a half decent job at slimming down, and growing out my stubble. then i am getting a tan and showing off my new haircut.

(xp speaking of getting laid)

I've gained about 10 lbs since this summer. I'm okay with that.
