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 calling [...]
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 hope you [...]
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 be back [...]
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 as [...]
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 agreed to [...]
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, and I’m [...]
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?
Me: I don’t know, entertain [...]
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 film. I’m [...]
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 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 [...]
