Gay
Ok, So every Thursday from 7-10 I do readings at the new gay bar Utopia, (don't bother to follow the link, the site sucks and they give me the run around when I bitch about them not advertising me) and something strange has been happening - everyone thinks I'm straight.
I rarely go out anymore, it costs money and all of my friends are married, with children. When I'm there on Thursdays I noticed within a few weeks that if I hung out at the bar and chatted with people I wouldn't get any readings, people would just talk to me and get free info. I get more readings if I just put out fliers and then sit at my corner table and read. Makes me seem mysterious or something, or maybe guys think they need to buy a reading if they want to chat me up. That's fine, they get their money's worth.
But here's the thing, when I start wandering around at 9:30, talking to people I keep getting folks who think I'm straight and it's been a long time since the gaydar crowd has pegged me for straight. It just seems odd to me.
Hey look! A non promotional LJ entry and it's still boring.
To all those who know me. Did you think I was gay when you met me? I got used to people figuring me for gay - course in this town people are surprised to find out that even as an out fag you don't have an ex-wife and kids. Maybe I should move again.

I bought this Bird of Paradise in a 4 inch pot and now look at it. Everything gets bigger around me.
