Best Weekend Ever...

Ok. It might not be the BEST weekend ever, but it was definitely up there. The Halloween Cab was this weekend, as previously mentioned. For more information on this event please see the previous post.lol. Anyway...the day was well spent, most of the whole day just hanging out with good friends, then of course once the clock hit 5:30..lol.it's party time. Everyone started changing into their costumes, pre-drinking. It was a total blast, there were parties on every floor of course, and many of the rooms were being shared as party space. It was great. There's nothing better than hanging out with your friends, dressed up as the most ridiculous things ever. Some of the many different creatures I saw prowling about this weekend were Clint Eastwood, a Power Ranger, a few pilots, the fallopian swim team, two bananas, a chicken, a swan, a twinkie, fred flinstone and a whole bunch more. It was great. Of course there was an abundance of everything sluttier...such as slutty cop, slutty nurse, slutty barbie, and all sorts of stuff. Lots of drinking, partying, dancing, groping? lol, public displays of affection, and a lot of sexual tension in the air. I am fairly sure that many of my friends got frisky that night. haha.



After the whole party, I went back to rez with a friend of mine and we had a little chat for a little bit. Then totally out of the blue, a friend of mine, someone I knew for a while txt msged me. I was of course fairly drunk..ok..I was VERY drunk. So I txt msged him back. Remember this was after the whole cab, it was 2:30 some in the morning. He asked me to come by to his apartment, and of course I did. Well, we talked for a little bit..and then..well..again, I was fairly drunk. sooo...we ended up putting a movie on. I don't even recall what movie it was. But..we were just lying on his bed, then he turned to me, asked me what I was thinking. I started rambling about the next day, what I would be doing and all that. Then he just kissed me. Of course, I kissed him back. We made out for a little bit, and he took his shirt off, and the story goes on from there. I don't think I should go into further detail into that.

The funny thing is, this guy was one of the few people I came out to, and he was extremely nice to me about it, always comforted me and was the person I went to about most of my problems. The weird thing was waking up in his room the next morning, I woke up earlier than he did, I always wake up early. I had to pee, you know, the morning whiz lol. So I had to get up, only in my boxers, and go to the bathroom. I walked out of his room, looked around to make sure that noone was in the vicinity and then ran into the washroom. When I got out, I heard a "good morning, your night sounded fun and loud". I think his roommate thought he was talking to him, not me. He saw me and apologized. I apologized, and felt so awkward. I was speechless. His roommate by the way is another friend of mine. We're not very close, but he is still a fairly good friend. I stood there...not knowing what to say. He choked on his coffee. This is no joke, he choked on his coffee. So, basically, I thought to myself, he's already suspecting things, might as well tell him. And so I did. I sat him down, this cute, tall blond boy every girl I knew had a crush on. We talked, it was early, like 8:30. We ended up finishing our conversation 2 hours or so later. He seems fine with it. We ended up playing squash later that day, and everything seemed normal. Although every hour or so, he would ask me something related to my sexuality. lol. He was very curious. What was sad was that I had no answers for many of his questions, because in truth, I don't have much experience regarding being gay. I'm just glad the weekend was such a good one!

Anyhow, I hope you guys all have a good week and a Happy Halloween!

Here's a video of a few D&G models. Enjoy.

Halloween is Coming...



I have a dillema. I need to figure out what I can be for the halloween cab. For those who aren't familiar with "cabs", it's short for 'cabaret'. Basically, it's a special event at the Den(university bar) for students that's held by certain clubs in the school to raise funds. Most cabs are themed and everybody dresses up. For example, there is the 80's cab, the halloween cab of course, and my favourite, the pornstar cab. The Pornstar Cab at the university is infamous for being uninhibited; basically everything goes. So, it's a fairly big deal that the costume that I wear for the halloween cab is fun, creative, while still looking good. A few friends of mine and I have had several ideas...ie. Raggedy Andy, Indiana Jones, Top Gun Pilot, Lion and Fireman. haha. I desperately need help trying to figure out what I should be. Oh. I just had an idea! Imagine being Anderson Cooper for Halloween!?! My only problem would be that noone would have any idea who I was trying to be. Anyway, if you had any suggestions, I would love to hear them!



Anyhow...the other day, I was hanging around at a coffee shop, a nice little coffee shop on the second floor of an artist oriented building. I was just having a couple of drinks, no hot beverages of course. I was just reading a book, when this guy at another table started throwing glances at me. Of course I was totally oblivious at the fact that he was glancing at me..haha..anyhow, he decided to come up to my table, he introduced himself and we started chatting. He was a cute guy, and he seemed very nice at the beginning, until he pulled out a shocker of a line. As we were discussing the many problems of being gay, and me being in the closet, he says "I've just had a thought...you look like you're a good cocksucker. Do you swallow?" I was appaled. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. At first, I laughed it off, but he didn't flinch. He was dead serious, and I was seriously regretting carrying on the conversation with this strange stranger. I'm usually always eager to meet new and random people, because they always end up to be some of my most amazing friends. But, after this experience I don't think my eagerness to meet random people will ever be the same. So, in response, I told him that I had to go and that I was going to be late for a meeting with a friend. He asked if I could have my number. I told him that I don't give out my number to people, so he gave me his. I was so upset. I just need to shake it off, and hope that the rest of the world isn't like this guy.

Anyhow, I'm off. Thanks for your comments everyone! BTW, the top picture has nothing to do with anything I just wrote, I just wish someone like him would be at the cab, lol..I would have way more fun then!

Green Eyes...



Lately I've been finding myself less scared, less apprehensive, less worried, that someone will find out about my sexuality. It's been a positive, in my opinion, because it gives me the chance to be more confident and stops me from deterring myself from doing things I would normally want to do. For example, today I bought my first ever gay-oriented magazine. I bought 'Genre'. I wasn't really certain which one to get, there were so many different kinds. But for the first time, I was able to go to the GLBT section, pick up a magazine and look through it and then eventually walk up to the cashier and pay for it. I bought it. I couldn't believe it. Others might feel that it's lame for me to be so proud of such a miniscule accomplishment, but for me it's an incredible feat. The only problem with my purchase today was that I bought last month's issue, rather than the current one. haha. Oh well...

I've also been finding myself more courageous when it comes to other guys. Everyone has experienced that unexpected situation, where you find yourself looking at someone, they in turn look back, and awkward eye contact is made. Prior to my newly found confidence, I would quickly turn away, look down or simply close my eyes altogether(quite unsafe when at the university walking amongst hundreds of other students) when thrust into these awkward moments. Now, I make eye contact and smile or nod to the other guy. Their reactions are not how I had expected them to be. Not one person looked as though they were upset, or raging with anger because they know I'm gay and looking at them. haha. What was I thinking? Rather, I find that much like I was, guys were more shy. They would look away, seeming apologetic even, that they had made eye contact. Others smile back, keep the eye contact and nod as well. It's a great way to turn an otherwise lousy day into a generally good one. I find that when I see someone smiling, laughing, or just looking happy, it makes me feel happy. I don't think I have ever been upset due to a smile flashed across the room in my direction. Have you? And eye contact, to me anyway, just seems to be a great sign of respect and acknowledgement.



I love my newly discovered confidence. You never know, maybe next time I'll actually have the courage to talk to a guy I find is cute and see where it goes, instead of waiting to be introduced to these guys. haha.

Oh, and for a last note, I would like to mention that I have fallen even harder for Anderson Cooper, when I saw a clip of him on 'Regis and Kelly', speaking of his inability to drink hot beverages....just like me!!!! I don't drink coffee or hot chocolate because I just can't drink hot drinks. When someone offers me hot chocolate, I gladly accept the offer, but I ask them if they have any ice. haha. Otherwise, I wait a very, very long time for it to cool before I can take a sip. Here's the clip.
