yep, LA. I kind of have to make a decision about this soon, which is stressing me out.
Stressing me out in a different way is 24yo actor who is supposed to be on 30rock next year. He is fun and cute and likes me but being an ACTOR, he is both charming and obnoxious at the same time. I feel like I'm too old to get into anything when I know there's no real future, but he's a hard person to turn down. And then there's added thing of possibly leaving soon, so I don't know how much time I should actually invest. Though I realize that sounds like whining, and I know it's a totally cushy fun problem to have.

how close to you is the nearest gay family member in yall's families? i can't think of anyone in mine tbh
My dad's cousin (which I guess makes him my cousin once removed?) is. Finally brought his boyfriend to our annual family reunion last summer.

Gay....family members? I don't think I have those. There's the one cousin who always strikes me as kinda dykey (female basketball player etc) but she usually has a bf. I guess the closest is my aunt's gay friend who used to come to our christmas gatherings, but I haven't seen him in years.
it will be all good for the s4rgent family name
I'm the only male Gr33ne of my gen in my extended fam. Otherwise it's 6 girls and a boy w/ a diff last name.

so uh yeah i just finished talking to that guy now
i don't sweat dating or meeting guys too much anymore but it does feel like i always meet ppl i'm interested in like, right before he or i have to go away for a long time

I did meet a girl I shared a v. obvious mutual interest with a couple weeks before I moved to Portland and it really sucked when it could have been v awesome under only slightly different circumstances.

im the same as rev wrt family name and i def don't have any interest in kids. one reason i'm glad not to be straight, i figure there's way more pressure then.

the depressed part was... you know, generally being deeply in love with my str8 best friend hovers over my life but it's something i've coped with/accepted for like 4 years or something, but tonight for some reason it actually made me pretty sad, the cruelty of the whole thing

i dreamt last night that i went to hospital for a standard operation, ended up getting a sex change and came out as a woman. the worrying part was that the only concern in the dream was what i was going to do with my clothes and where to go to buy woman's clothes and that i didn't know what was hip.
― jed_, Tuesday, 20 July 2010 13:32 (thirteen years ago) link
That's how it was for me. Friends knew and co-workers who I felt safe around knew, but I didn't come out to my family until the beginning of this year.
I've gone through this too, with more than one straight friend! I think after a while I just realized that I am inclined to have tender feelings for the people in my life, and that I may have been mistaking my platonic love for sexual attraction. After a while the attraction sort of fell away.

I use the phrase "after a while" too much also, bah.

^I'm with this, so much. The realization came with getting older, basically. Although it still affects me day-to-day, like "Why can't I find a guy as good as [straight guy friend]?" Though it's more comical than upsetting now, since I don't actually want to be w/ any of my friends.
We've all gone through this, yes? So buck up, jordan. I know it stinks but echoing other sentiments, you are way cute and funny and smart and some guy will be lucky to have you.

From my experience – I think we kinda discussed it once – it's a dangerous, dangerous situation.

Looooove salmon. I cook a terrific broiled salmon marinated in soy sauce, dijon mustard, half a teaspoon of olive oil, and dill. Then I sprinkle capers.

don't think there's any fish or seafood that i don't love, but salmon's definitely near the top. will eat it done any way, in sushi, as gravadlax, honey roasted, anything.
