I'm Also in the Library and It's Raining: WINTER 2018/2019 GAY THREAD

stevie!!!! how are you pup?

life updates:

I have been working IT at a university for the past 3 years
I am dating someone in Boston who is basically a made-up queercore Wuvable Oaf fantasy come to life
I'm gay, still

surm I still think about you on a fairly regular basis, like something every couple of months reminds me of your unbridled effervescence and joie de vivre

also plax I am considering visiting London in the next year if you still live there?

My boyf and I have been dating for 8 months or so and I still cannot believe how hot and smart and cool he is and that someone as awesome as him also finds me hot and awesome??? It's like two people who feel out of each others leagues. He has an encyclopedic knowledge of house and disco, a huge Gengoroh Tagame tattoo on his thigh, 4 cats, and a position as executive director of Boston's lgbt film festival, who IS this person???

a made-up queercore Wuvable Oaf fantasy

I have no idea what this reference is, but I want you to explain it to me in person.

stevieeee that all sounds fantastic and honey, i think about you too. i've actually been following your romance on the Facebook and it just seems so lovely. i'm glad you found him.

this my boyfriend http://www.fantagraphics.com/wuvable-oaf/

omg that IS your boyfriend
hi stevie!

Every time I see a photo of your boyfriend I feel like I'm seeing a post-credits happy ending vignette

I had a nightmare last night about my ex-bf yelling at me, and I woke up and it was 4:45am, so I walked down to the 24/7 to buy a stupid kombucha (it's a good sleep aid, oddly). I walked by an early-riser whose car was stuck in a snowdrift and I stopped to help him shovel and push. It took about 12 minutes and we were successful, he offered to buy me breakfast but I declined. I went on to the store and bought the stupid kombucha and walked back in the snowy night with frozen fingers. I washed my face and applied a moisturizer by a company whose former CEO killed himself a couple weeks ago. I got into bed and my boyfriend asked me what was wrong and I told him about the nightmare and cried a little. He drew me in close and told me he loved me more than anything else in the world. I went back to sleep for a few hours and then got up and made scrambled eggs, back bacon, sliced tomatoes and rye toast. My back yard is 3-feet deep in show and I enjoyed watching my dog struggle to navigate it while she was doing her morning pee. When she came inside, I sang to her, "Audrey you're a young dog, good dog, playing in the yard, gonna be a big dog someday / you got snow on your face, big disgrace, wagging your tail all over the place / we will, we will walk you". Then I got some e-mails from clients asking for revisions and I am waiting for phone calls with further instructions. I am listening to Morton Feldman's 2nd String Quartet (again, it's been on repeat the last few days).

"Audrey you're a young dog, good dog, playing in the yard, gonna be a big dog someday / you got snow on your face, big disgrace, wagging your tail all over the place / we will, we will walk you"

I love it! I improvised dog-related song parodies all the time, the ones that have stuck in our house being those based on Sheila E's "Holly Rock" and the "Marty Moose" song from National Lampoon's Vacation.

In gayer news, I recorded Querelle from TCM the other night and am both excited and slightly nervous to watch.

I'm getting close to three years with my dude, and it's like I don't even recognize myself anymore, reading previous gay threads.

I should use a moisturizer, I'm 31 and people often guess mid to late 20s so I guess I have decent skin so far in life and I'd like to maintain that? Should I get an SPF facial moisturizer?

THREE YEARS !!! ??? does this mean you've learned to enjoy life's carnal pleasures???

Up to and including last night, yeah! (We were hoping to host a third, but the weather outside was frightful.)

I feel like we have all grown so much

I'm growing right now.

Congrats, Eric!

SO
MUCH

No more growing for me, thx

nore of a show-er

After the just-the-two-of-us romp, we had someone else over to watch Cold War.

We're kinda boring, no?

Byron couldn't have said it more graciously.

plz come to New York when it's not cold, y'all

Gays, claim your song/chapter:

Madonna: Classic Or Dud

who?

Morbs gets whatever's left over (probably "In This Life").

He can regale readers with his tales of lunches spent with Gershwin.

I could've touched her when she and Sean Penn were in mid-grope in the summer of '86 (Metropolitan Opera House aisle after a Robin Williams stand-up show). Instead, I squeezed past. Walked on by, you might say.

*owned, bitchez*

hi y'all

i'm drinking rose cava and listening to sade

it's pretty gay

I'm eating a quarter of a pink cookie and sipping cab and about to watch Morbs' beloved They All Laughed.

I hope there's weed in that cookie

He Didn't Laughed

He never Her

I don't know what that's a reference to but it's a reference to something, that's for sure.

i actually thought of "you never her" at work the other day and lol'd

what is it?!

oh, i did mean to write "you never her" not what I wrote there.

good q

I did well on the test (I think) but no one from the actual university press was available that day after the HR person. So I'm waiting for a second call.

I do chatrooms at my gig job, but I clearly don't give a shit.

<3 fingers crossed!

happy 50th
