Events of the recent past
Last weekend.
Friday night we went to a poetry reading. I have to say, although I was dressed nice and received quite a bit of response, I still felt out of place. I enjoy doing things with Josh, not for the event a lot of times, but the sake of doing things together.
The experience was nice, although I didn't get a lot of the words spoken. I did however enjoy several poems for the little bit I did catch. Most of the people there either worked at the university or were student of the poet.
The woman who hosted by offering her gallery, kept taking my picture. I'm sure this will end up on the gallery website and when it does, Ill post the link. I counted 3 that she took of me alone and then kindly offered to take one of Josh and myself.
After the reading we went to my coworker Anita's Sweet 16 party. No she really isn't 16 however she is from New Zealand where they don't have such things. She and her roommates threw a nice bash decked out in their prom dresses. Somehow I ended up wearing a dress too (go figure).
There was one moment that kind of caught me off guard and that was a brief conversation I had with a straight guy there while smoking. The conversation went as follows.
The guy: So are you gay?
Me: Yeah
The guy: So hows that working out for you?
Me: Ive been gay all my life.
The guy: So I guess its working out pretty well
Me: My partner of almost nearly 3 years is inside. Id say its working out really well.
*chuckle*.... My thought in the moment was "what a moron". My thoughts now? "what a moron".
So her roommates loved us and Josh has now become Anita's favorite boyfriend. Not just my boyfriend mind you, but her favorite ever!
So not much else happening over the weekend. Josh worked Saturday morning at Zubio. Its been cool seeing him working and doing something he enjoys doing. Last week I brought him lunch. This past Saturday it was only a cookie but I think he appreciates me stopping by which I will probably do again this weekend.
Last night I have to say was perfect. I was tired from a poor nights sleep the night before, and all I felt like doing was having a nice, quiet, relaxing night at home. I got my wish.
Josh had already prepared dinner as much as he could before heading to the office to see clients. All I had to do was cut a sweet potato, add some spices, coat it with olive oil, and throw it in the oven.
He got home around 5:45 and I built a fire. We sat down, watched a movie, drank some wine, had dinner, and enjoyed the fire. It was a fantastic evening. Those are the moments I wouldnt trade for the world.
On another note, I was thinking yesterday as I was sitting outside on the deck smoking "Im sitting here with no shirt on, and with the sun shining on me, and the cooler temps, it makes the temperature just about perfect. In a week and a half, Im going to need more clothes than God himself". How depressing. At least Ill get to see cool people
