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

i wrote a new beat that isn't bad but if i tried to record vocals for it now it might sound like george michael on crack

I'm going to stop fighting it and just say it everywhere: the Diamanda Galas performance tonight was amazing!!

Besides all the expected stuff - awesome vocals and piano accompaniment - I loved that she did quite a bit of talking and she was entertaining and funny. She was quirky, wry, and darkly silly. Like Jenny said, you wouldn't expect her to be so adorable! When she took a bow she pointed at people near the front and acting sort of goofy (I honestly expected her to do finger guns) then she turned and walked offstage in her weird, gangly way, with her hips thrust forward.

That stuff didn't overshadow the performance for me, but it stood out b/c I hadn't seen that side of her before. I had suspected that she had a good sense of humor b/c it just makes sense for heavy, morbid, and serious preoccupations to be accompanied by a sense of humor.

What a great night!

And now it's thundersnowing!!

(well, no thunder, but snow + lightning, and that's plenty good enough for me)

it was 80 degrees here today. rode my bike around to my errands in a sleeveless t-shirt.

anyway, i'm reading Bonanno, waiting for th3o to come over whilst listening to Digital Justice. and trying to write poems for this reading i'm giving tomorrow.

saw a junkie metal singer documentary, a Paramount Joel McCrea vehicle from 1941, and then finally made it to the Nowhere bar's redhead night!

The go-go guy was also doing caricatures in crayon.

the guy i've been seeing is a poet - i wonder if you'd approve of his stuff, t ;)

welp, looks like i have one of those uh

whatchamacallit

boyfriends now

now that you found love what are you gonna do?

well, you deserve one! <3 xp

Someone let me know when it's safe to go in the bars again: 8-song W.H. block last night included the Star-Spangled fucking Banner.

I haven't found it, so i'm going to an Oscar party.

:) :)

I'm going to watch the Oscars with my aunt while my uncle ignores the Oscars and I simultaneously do schoolwork.

My whatchamacallit has a midterm tomorrow.

I'm at a coffee shop alternating between grading papers and reading a collection of Ballard stories.

Now a young man who looks like the sort of Mexican trick that Morrisey would fuck just walked in. Help.

morbs otm; always thought whoever snagged you would be one p lucky dude

Heh, so the crazy apocalyptic street preacher man who is a fixture in front of Old Navy on State Street just *happened* to start saying "God don't want no homosexuals in his kingdom" as my boyfriend and I walked past. ¬_¬

Actually it wasn't funny, it pissed me the fuck off.

i always just get "you can't get into heaven smoking them cigarettes"

actually haven't seen him in a long time though

i'll tell you to do what i tell everyone to do in every situation: next time he does that yell HAIL SATAN and then vomit blood on him

Yeah, I mean espirit de l'escalier and everything but I don't have the talent to laugh in those sort of situations. All I feel is fear, anger and hatred. If I could make heads explode the pavement would be lousy with brains, let me tell you.

i would probably just stare him down like an idiot though i do think my glare packs some punch. i scribbled a nasty note across the cover of a gay weekly that someone keeps flipping over to hide photoshopped abs? at a coffee shop i frequent. here now and it isnt flipped over! small victories.

i don't encounter that sort of thing very much but i would like to tell these people that they are really, really bad christians

ime the quickest most efficacious response for ppl like that is "fuck you"

so 2 baristas at my coffeeshop have given me "looks" in the past few weeks

and it's kind of buggin me out, i mean i don't really have any options here except to drink a lot of coffee, what am i gonna do put myself out there at the register

also i could have sworn one of them was straight! but today i noticed he shaved his beard and when i smiled at him he semi-definitely *smiled* back and it totally messed with my head. maybe i just couldn't see his smile before bc of his beard?

do some salacious java-related banter

That preacher in front of Old Navy has been since I moved here in 2004. He is there pretty much every single time I've walked by there, which used to every morning and afternoon.

He's less fun than the FBI STOP RAPING MY WIFE guy.

oh god the past half hour is everything shambolic about my life summed up

12:10 - realisation that i have no immediate work or stress today + strong desire to get out of house for first time in 48 hours + oh look the cinema 10 mins from my house is showing the artist at 12.50, just enough time to shower and walk there for a spontaneous treat!
12:40 - out of shower, just gonna sync ipod

IPOD DIES, ERASES ALL MUSIC ON ITSELF FOR NO REASON, HAS TO BE RESTORED TO FACTORY SETTINGS

12:50 - finally get ipod syncing again. but it now has to sync all 3000 songs that were originally on it instead of just a couple

13:00 - still syncing. realise there is no point going to cinema any more. should possibly have just left ipod syncing and gone but have realised too late. HATE MY LIFE

am probably just going to sit in my bedroom for the rest of the day because i cannot be fucking trusted to engage practically with life at all because IT ALWAYS GOES WROOOOOOONG

and a button ripped off my coat as well, obviously physical objects joining in with technology's guerrilla warfare against my life KMT KMT

The Artist is lame, but might be better with a house soundtrack.

Oh. My. God.

Gays:

I think/am p sure Facebook just friend-recommended this guy who I hooked up with once at the Cock, who I exchanged absolutely no information with other than first name. Dude has 80 friends and we have 0 in common but I mean unless it's another shaved-headed goateed Brazilian named F4bi0 who just looks super familiar...

that is not surprising, it's a small world of fags

fabio, the brazilian

But he's, like, FROM BRAZIL! I'm p sure he was just there on vaca!

How in fucking hell is this possible??

Coincidence and synchronicity rule my life.

he's probably hooked up or friended other people from the cock or another place like it. believe me, the cock was a way of getting around. what happens at the cock does not stay at the cock.

cept for what hits the floor

fabio, the brazilian

this made me laugh so damn hard

ON THE MENU THIS MORNING: WAHH I DON'T HAVE TO DO ANY WORK TODAY MY LIFE IS MIIISERABLE vs. FABIO, THE BRAZILIAN FACEBOOK FRIENDED ME HOW WEIRD!

VS CEPT FOR WHAT HITS THE FLOOR

i've heard so many stories along the lines of "facebook can't possibly know that" but never experienced it myself, the only people it suggests are people i dislike with whom i have all too many mutual friends

mee-ow

roffling from 'fabio, the brazilian.'

let me tell you, stevie, fbook has suggested some people and my jaw has dropped significantly. and then other people never get rec'd. it is a seeming mix of makes sense and totally random.

in other news, i am moving out of my house at the end of this month.

also donna, tell me what yr bf does or whatever. or does he have things out. or something.

i came out to my brother on saturday night, it went really well

tabes!

also: go j0rdan!

i should tell my parents before i leave here wed morning since i'm getting tired of being coy with my mom about what i'm doing (pretending that my boyfriend isn't my boyfriend and/or pretending like he doesn't exist) but... it's hard

t, here's his website

we spent all day together on saturday - biergarten in silverlake followed by cuddling in the park followed by chinese food followed by the strangest karaoke bar i have ever been to (we were also the only people there for like an hour and a half, so it was just us and the hosts singing). he sang "crush on you" and dedicated it to me.

srsly in love tbqfh

xp wtg j0rdan!
