Moping

Monday, February 27th, 2006

So, according to my family, I’ve been “moping around” for the past two days. They’re probably right. I got the lecture yesterday, “It’s not like you hung out with him every night, you were able to entertain yourself a week ago…” Of course they’re right, it’s just that I don’t even have the option of [...]

An Emotional Evening

Saturday, February 25th, 2006

Snippets of conversation from yesterday… Me: So my parents think I’m only looking at jobs in San Francisco to chase after you. I tried to explain that it’s more like I’m jealous that you’re doing something I’ve been talking about for years, but I don’t think they’re convinced. L: (also, apparently not convinced) Well, I [...]

Last Day

Friday, February 24th, 2006

Last day at Sundance… Last day before L moves to San Francisco… It’s been kind of emotional. I’m on my way to a farewell dinner now. Tomorrow will be spent doing more job hunt, finishing my article for Q Salt Lake (http://www.qsaltlake.com), and finding other ways to distract myself from being depressed. At least he’ll [...]

Q Salt Lake

Wednesday, February 22nd, 2006

So, this e-mail didn’t precisely come as a surprise or anything (I’ve known for several days now), but it was interesting… Today I tendered my resignation from Metro Publishing, Inc. and Salt Lake Metro. Without going into great detail, I did so because of ethical differences with my business partner at the Metro as well [...]

Ow.

Tuesday, February 21st, 2006

If you’re tired of hearing about my social life woes, skip today. I feel like I’m going to break. It started on Friday night when L called me. He was getting drunk to avoid doing something stupid like driving down to St. George to see J. The drunken conversation touched on areas I thought we’d [...]

Hmm…

Friday, February 17th, 2006

One of my old buddies used to use the most adorable little expression when at a loss for whatever else to say because a situation is just too much to handle… “Well, fuck me running, with a duck.” Yeah, it about sums up my emotional state right now. L is breaking up with J again, [...]

Just remembered…

Tuesday, February 14th, 2006

Scene from last night, while waiting for Brokeback Mountain to start: L: (looks around) You realize we’re the only gay guys in this theatre? Me: (also looking around, the theatre is pretty busy, but all straight couples) Wow. That’s kind of weird. Me: Do you think they expect us to do something? L: Like what? [...]

Feb. 14 Thoughts

Tuesday, February 14th, 2006

Happy Birthday, *-*-*dherblay”>. I won’t say the V-word today. Single. Bitter. Angst. But for those of you in a loving relationship, mazel tov! My platonic, pseudo-date (most action I’m going to see this February holiday of note) with L last night was fun. Brokeback Mountain wasn’t quite what I expected, but it was a good [...]

A Lazy Weekend

Monday, February 13th, 2006

My plan was to spend the entire day on Saturday in my PJs, never once leaving the house. This plan would work in a perfect world where my siblings were quiet and never ever annoying. So I decided to go check out Underworld: Evolution. Not a bad movie. Certainly not one of the great triumphs [...]

One of the reasons…

Friday, February 10th, 2006

One of the reasons I think it would be a good time to leave Utah is that I’m starting to get really near that age (30) that I’ve set as a kind of deadline for some major life decisions… like kids. I’ve dreamed and fantasized about adopting children since I came out of the closet [...]
