So yeah
Today was most fun. Well, most of it. I can say with some certainty that the semester is coming to an end.
I stayed with my buddy Bil (yes, one 'l') last night because all of the Pittsburgh weathermen claimed that we were going to get blasted with freezing rain and snow. Sadly they were 24 hours ahead. The blast of winter arrived this afternoon well after I was home. But thats OK. I love Bil's company. Bil, thank you thank you thank you. Thank you for being there and listening to me.
OMG...So this is really out of place in this post, but TiVo recorded "12 Years of Real Sex" from HBO. And some class or something that these couples are doing. Day 2 includes splitting them up into men and women groups, where they do a bonding dance. And there's all these guys dancing nude, feeling each other up and such. Obviously we must not be int he US for this particular segment. And now there's a big massive orgy of sorts and they're all dancing and screaming. OK...that was fun. Was that good for you too? Back to the post at hand.
After leaving Bil's place I went to the post office, picked up my mail, and to my suprise, some christmas presents that I'd ordered came in! Then it was off to class for a quiz @ 9, test @ 10, and class @ 11. The quiz and test...no sweat, I hope. English Lit class brought the most delightful suprise of not having a final. We handed in our commentaries on the stories that we'd read during the semester and that was it. At this point, it was starting to get colder and spit rain so I opted to head on to lunch and then home. Good thing I did, because the snow started falling not long after I got home. When I went back outside, I had trouble moving my car around in the driveway.
So with no Lit final, that means that I have an IS final on C programming on Monday at 10-12 and a pre-business calc final from 4-6. And then we can offically declare the semester over.
Rob Rob Rob...Rob! Rob gave me a pleasant suprise this evening with his IM and phone call =) I love ya Rob. Rob and I seem to get into trouble all the time...Whether its going to look at the glory holes on campus for a good laugh or satisfying some urge to see the insides of a bathhouse/sex club. Rob, I have only one thing to say...we just missed out on so much when we hadn't seen/spoken to each other for all that time. Granted both of us were busy doing our own things, but now we've caught up. Let the good times roll!
I've also esentially come out to my friend Matt. Last weekend he and I went out to lunch where I spilled the beans. I had been wanting to do this for some time. For those wondering, Matt is a very good friend of mine who I met while I was working at my last job. Matt and I didn't have very much time to get to know each other then, but we have now. All this on account of him wanting to apply for a job at a local ISP. Matt had asked me what an SSH Key was and the rest is history (my apologies for those not into such geek speak). Anyway, I figured that I'd get it over with, and decided to tell him *all* about my friday night out with Rob. My suspicions were correct, Matt had figured me out already. He knew that I had lived with a guy for awhile, and he also knew that my friend Eric (very very openly gay) lived with my ex-roommate (and ex-b/f) now. Eric and Matt were in the car while I was using the ATM and Eric just happened to blurt out that he lived with my ex. Matt put two and two together then. Matt, you're offically my only straight friend that I'm out to. I can't forget Jenny too. Matt's g/f / ex-g/f. Matt buddy, I messed that up. You and Jenny are my only straight friends who know.
Behind the scenes for those new to this, its not that I feel uncomfortable about being gay that I'm not out, but I just don't feel the need to be out. Being gay isn't the center of my life. If someone were to ask if I'm gay, I'd tell them. But since I act about as straight as an arrow, no one ever asks or suspects. Case in point, buddy Matt. "I never would have thought you were gay", he said. Enter my dating problems. Since I don't act gay in like any way shape or form, the guys just don't hit on me. And my gaydar is broken...I have a hellish time figuring out who is playing for which team.
Matt, you've provided me with insight on much and I hope some of my advice has helped you out too. Anytime just call and I'll be there. You too Jenny!
As this year comes to a close, I think I've really found out who my real friends are. Those of you close to me know how hellish things have been in putting a close to my last relationship. Going back to school full time hasn't been that much fun either. I've come across some wonderful people in the past few months and a special few I've allowed into my inner self. I've reconnected with some friends that were away, but never forgotten. For those that seem to not be my friends, we've been through much together and I can't forget that. There are unfortunatley some things that don't change, and some things that do. Maybe our paths will cross again. Until then, happy travels. To all of my real friends, thank you for being there.
So what's brewing next... Next semester...that's for damn sure. And an intense need to catch up on sleep for Monday's finals. On that note, catch you on the flip side!
