So life goes on, the world turns, and predictably young gay males find themselves surrounded by drama. I think it's just the way of things. Only I just really want to sit this round out. I mean I always try to avoid drama anyway, but quite often I get sucked into my friends' problems and thrown into the middle of things. This time I'm just NOT going to do it.
Things with William and Scott are continuing to get worse. I can't even mention William's name without Scott making a sarcastic,
My life is just so amazingly good. I mean I already knew that, but the last couple of days it's really been hitting home or something. It's like I just bounce around for one enjoyable activity to the next and even when less fun stuff happens it never seems to hang around for very long.
The last three days have just been phenomenal! I had the most awesome, easy, fun assignments at work (sub-teaching), like I literally had like 3 hours off that I was getting paid for both days. LOL, and I
So if anyone else says the word 'pencil' to me today I swear I'm going to scream!
All day it was:
"Mr. Face (no that's not my real last name, but I'm not giving it out over the internet), can I go sharpen my pencil?"
"Mr. Face, so and so stole my pencil"
"Mr. Face, my pencil broke again"
"Mr. Face, I need to borrow a pencil"
"Mr. Face, I lost that pencil"
I swear it got to the point that I was fantasizing about having this giant bucket filled with pre-sharpened pen
I was going to write this deep, brooding blog entry. Actually I did. And I posted it. Only I posted it in my personal, no-one-has-access-or-even-knows-about-it journal. The catharsis came simply from writing it and I didn't actually want to make people sit and wonder what words of support they could offer to make me feel better when really I was already feeling fine having written it.
So I do feel better. Emotional crisis averted and all that jazz.
Then if my still contemplative b
...and I really shouldn't be trying to figure it out, but it's driving me crazy now!
So, if anyone happened to be following the "weird night" thread in the Lounge, they'll know that I purposely stayed up all night so that I could get some of that quiet alone time. Anyway around 8am I went to sleep. Well about 11:45 William called. He and a couple of other guys we're friends with had had plans this morning to go to this event. I was originally going to go with them, but it feel through.
So I'm not unhappy or frustrated or anything. I wouldn't even describe myself as especially stressed or frustrated. Just...emotionally (and slightly physically) exhausted.
Fortunately, things seem to have settled down for me. Unfortunately, they seem to have heated up for most of my friends. Not only am I still trying to be there for Claire, but my other close childhood friend in a lesbian relationship is also having trouble with said lesbian relationship AND going through employment tur
So I just spent the last couple of hours on the phone with my friend Claire. I spent yesterday evening on the phone with her as well. She's broken up with her girlfriend. Again. They've been doing this everyone 3 to 5 months for the last two and a half years. It's really vicious. It's always exactly the same pattern too. Slowly "Jane" pulls away from Claire, refuses to talk or communicate, and starts spending time with her ex (whom she was with for about 7 years before she and Claire got
So I went out tonight with a few friends and I was on the dance floor dancing when I noticed this guy leering at me. So I just kinda pretended not to notice and went on about my business. Well the next thing I know he comes up to me and grabs me and he's like, "You're really hot". So I just say "Thanks" and try to pull away, well then he says bold as can be, "Look, I'll pay you whatever".
EUGHHH!! I was so shocked I just kinda stood there. Fortunately one of my friends grabbed my arm
Hi Everyone,
This is from the Disturbing Trend thread in the Lounge that Jamie posted.
I find this topic endlessly interesting so I decided to post my response in here as well. Hopefully you guys will let me know what you think about this topic!

Well, despite the fact that I usually tend to agree with Jamie and Menzo, I'm going to have to vehemently disa
So this blog's going to be kinda gossipy and I doubt it'll be particularly relevant to anyone but me, but anyway...
Life's been fantastic lately, even for me. I really can't remember the last time had so much fun crammed into two months (or however long this little bright patch has been going now...might be three...anyway...). The only downside is that I've been having so much fun and partying so much that *gasp* it actually kinda started to catch up with me. LOL, I think the last time I
...I didn't realize that until tonight.
So everyone remember the friend former friend who ended our relationship coldly and completely with a letter? Well, it sucked alot, and it hurt like hell, as I'm sure you've all gathered from my blogs. It didn't help that the events transpired while I was physically as sick as I've been in years, and shortly before I quit my job and broke up with my boyfriend. In fact I think there's some old adage somewhere about striking someone with your foot whi
I do not see you as a colour.
I do not care where you were born.
I respect your religion but I will not think about you in terms of it.
I do not judge you based on the neighbourhood you live in.
I am sensitive of your disability but I will not exclude you because of it, nor will I allow you to use it as a permanent excuse.
I will not respect you any more or less solely because of your education level.
I will assume responsibility of exactly one half of all communica
So I've been having a really wonderful few weeks!!
Incredibly awesome actually! Everything's going well and I've been having a blast!
Something interesting happened yesterday that made me feel a bit like I was in a sitcom. As I mentioned in my comments in the last blog, my best friend had kinda sorta started seeing this guy. It was confusing, and the other guy didn't really know what he wanted. Meanwhile, I'd been kinda, sorta seeing this cute Japanese boy *cues Vapors song* Actual
Hey everyone! I've still got a buncha stuff I need to take care of, but I really wanted to blog about something (and respond to several of the other blogs) so I've decided that I'll just try to relegate myself exclusively to the blogs for the next couple weeks. Anyway...
I think the trouble with being a gay male is that often your friends will also be a gay males, and unfortunately that combo "pairs up". Basically, while I think dating a friend can often work really well, in general I try
Hey everyone,
I'll be away until at least after the New Year because I have some personal matters to take care of.
Anyway, I'll miss you all, and no one worry about me, I'm fine and shall continue to be.
In the mean time I love ya all and I'm wishing you the best!
Take care everyone and happy holidays!
-Kevin
And it really shouldn't bother me...but it sorta does.
So you guys remember when I wrote about how I broke up with the ex-boyfriend right after my, then close friend, "broke up" with me because he couldn't handle the fact that I was with the ex-boyfriend because he wanted him too? Well now they're dating!
I hadn't seen either of them since the respective break ups, but I'd continued talking on the phone periodically and texting with the ex.
Anyway yesterday I went to a gay social
Hi everyone,
So I'm probably not the best person to give advice to others, but I am feeling pretty cheerful/content right now, despite all the junk life's been throwing at me recently. So anyway here's a few things I have opinions on. If nothing else it'll be nice for me to have them written down somewhere.
My Approach to Life:
-Learn how to be happy alone; if you don't enjoy your company why should anyone else?
-Always accept people's help and support, but always try to give m
Well, how else would I commemorate a new path for my life than by getting a make over? Shortly after writing my last blog I got my hair restyled and dyed. I went for a shorter, messier style and a fairly flashy blond. I got my brows waxed and dyed as well, and hit up a few of my favourite shops for some new outfits. I also started the lastest round of teeth whitening products, and restructured my skin care regimen. Shallow and vail I know, but all in all I'm very pleased with the results.
And this one's certainly sucked big time!
There's little point in me sitting here whining about it and there's very little constructive good that this blog entry can make, but just as a general update of my life...
Things didn't work out with the new old boyfriend. We broke up tonight. It was a nice break up I suppose. I mean we were both primarily concerned with not hurting each other, it was mostly mutual, and we're probably going to remain friends. Perhaps one day I'll write a b
That would be my new boyfriend! He's terrific, I'm totally in the giddy school boy crush stage. We just had the most amazing evening together!
I'll write more later
I was sitting in a restaurant this evening have dinner and people watching and there was this average, middle-aged guy sitting at the next table. The waitress came over to him and asked if he was ready, and he replied that he was still waiting for his wife. So about 10 minutes later his phone rings and he answers it and says:
"Hi hun *pause* I'm just sitting here at the restaurant reading a magazine and thinking of you. *pause* okay I'll see you when you get here"
I just thought
So this is a rather long, probably pointless-for-anyone-else-to-read-but-I'm-glad-I-wrote-it entry about my feelings regarding the balance of support, neediness, and power in my ideal relationship. On a side note I'm beginning to get very irritated with the casual, sloppy, informal way I've been writing blogs and posts lately. Still...WHATEVER!

So I was driving to work today when "Ever the Same" by Rob Thomas came on the radio. I'd
So first off, wow that Killers concert rocked! I had such an awesome time! A band called "Romance Fantasy" opened for them, then the group called "Louis XIV" played. Now actually I had heard of "Louis XIV" before, but I don't think I was familiar with their work. They were pretty good though! The Killers were awesome! They played all their popular songs (obviously), and it was really fun because everyone sang along and stuff!
There was also this adorable gay couple sitting in the row i
SO, I just got a call from a friend. He's got an extra ticket to The Killers concert tonight! SO, I'm going! YAY! I'm so excited, it's been forever since I've been to a concert, and I love The Killers!
Now all I have to do is rearrange my schedule a bit, and figure out a way to look concert worthy within the next three hours!
So it's a bit silly to be posting this particular blog entry right now, but I was sitting here wondering just how long it's been since I first got a blog here. Turns out it's been nearly two years! My first entry was on November 17th 2005! Since then I've posted 117 entries (counting this one), which comes out to about one per week, but which of course in practice is more like 2 or 3 one week, then 2 or 3 the next month (if that many in some months).
It seems that I posted the most entrie
