as the neat freak in my former life, i can say it's definitely nice for the other person. i kept our house spotless. but i would make sure you do some cooking or dishes or whatever you can offer to keep things balanced :P not that you need my advice but there it is

I've only had one drink since January 3, the day I started back to work after a particularly stressful holiday. Not fun, but I rarely actively miss it. However, my husband and I just arrived back home where we'll be staying for a week to look after some stuff for my in laws, and there's no way I'll be able to make it through this week without booze.

My problem drinking miraculously evaporated post-breakup. Weird, huh. A relationship-gone-bad will make you DRINK.
I've been enjoying my time with this new guy, though. The sex continues to be unspeakably good. He made dinner for me last night-- ravioli with sausage and rapini. We talked today about me going to visit a long-time on-again off-again lover next month, and he's cool with it. I'm cool with him continuing to see his own side-piece once every couple of weeks. It's all so blissful.. and a little boring? Like, I'm so used to relationships feeling like I'm teetering on the edge of a precipice at all times, not this comfort and safety.

map I hope you're prepared to do the cooking in exchange for the cleaning! (It's such a good trade-off)
― Andrew Lloyd Webbersplainer (flamboyant goon tie included), Tuesday, 11 February 2020 23:28 (four years ago) link
that's so nice, flambo. i aspire to find a new relationship like yours some day! the guy i was hanging out with just moved to Hell's Kitchen (he was right in my hood in BK). before he moved he reached out and said he missed my giggles <3 so i think maybe we'll hang out more. i continue to be really happy with how big his d is and how skillful he is between the sheets.
cryps don't beat yourself up for having a few necessary drinks

A gay friend: "I had this vegan boyfriend once who was so committed that he didn't eat honey or swallow my jizz"Me: "Did he at least let you pour honey all over his face"

Do people with annoying laughs bother you at work? If you hear them several times a day? There's one here I silently label "Gay Hyena."
― brooklyn suicide cult (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 19 February 2020 17:55 (four years ago) link
oh yes. i had a gay hyena. it was awful. i have a loud laugh but people can't resist it.

Is there a drink cart update?
Also, I am very into rowing. Watch videos on proper form, most people at gyms are doing crazy things on it and I wonder about them.
― Yerac, Wednesday, 19 February 2020 21:38 (four years ago) link
UM
weird timing because i FINALLY tried the machine last night after watching videos. IT. IS SO. FUN. i had no idea!!!!!! what a fucking cool machine! i never knew moving your body could be that cool. totally want one in my home.
― surm, Thursday, 20 February 2020 15:39 (four years ago) link
yeah, i splurged and got the concept2 and have it in front of the netflix. There are lots of resources online about rowing and people get competitive about posting times. When I get back home home I am going to work on the Pete Plan (here's one https://thepeteplan.wordpress.com/beginner-training/ ) because I hit a plateau awhile ago and cannot get my times down.
― Yerac, Thursday, 20 February 2020 21:10 (four years ago) link
Pete has a plan for that?
― breastcrawl, Thursday, 20 February 2020 21:15 (four years ago) link
the only plan he has.
― Yerac, Thursday, 20 February 2020 21:21 (four years ago) link
i love. that you have. a machine.

i shaved yesterday... getting a little tired of the look tbh. i'm djing a gay ski-in brunch this saturday and kinda stressed about it tbh.
― i am a horse girl (map), Thursday, 27 February 2020 16:31 (four years ago) link
wait what's a ski-in brunch??
― surm, Thursday, 27 February 2020 17:14 (four years ago) link
it's at a venue on p4rk c1ty sk1 resort mountain during their lgbtq weekend. though i guess 1-4 pm isn't really brunch. it's a party for rich boys afaict. i have to rent a sub and some other stuff. sub as in subwoofer. and get more kylie songs i guess. i'm just nervous about it. also i got laid off last week and i'm looking for aanother job :|
― i am a horse girl (map), Thursday, 27 February 2020 18:13 (four years ago) link

― surm, Thursday, 27 February 2020 19:26 (four years ago) link
i have to rent a sub
oh hi!

― flamboyant goon tie included, Thursday, 27 February 2020 20:05 (four years ago) link

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 am a horse girl (map), Thursday, 27 February 2020 20:40 (four years ago) link
the stock market can go down in flames *after* i get a real job w/ benefits
(it's almost been 2 years and i'd move if i have to)

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
