The strangest of the strange: it's 2015 and summer is queer°•○●□■♤♡♢♧☆

Let's beat the heat.

I'm hoping these thunderstorms are melting the unbreathable butter we've been breathing all weeek.

Exactly what I was just hoping. They are beautiful.

bae and i experimented with some coconut oil the other day. it went... surprisingly well

thanks for the psycho beach party header, surm.

anytime

This summer's gonna hurt like a gay thread.

i'm recuperating from a bitch of a summer cold but i've dropped a few pounds as a result.

i felt a cold starting in my throat on Saturday, took one zinc tablet. seems to have worked!

(so fuck you coughing a-holes on the subway)

yeah i'm battling a bummer cold now

My summer allergies kicked into full gear last week. I fucking hate this season.

trying to make friends with the sun this year. so far she's been good to me.

Got a second date tonight. Taking him to a free screening of Pixar's latest.

oof. i am pride'd out.

Still 2 weeks out here, and the complaints about basically everything are already rolling in.

i am NOT prided out bc i was away this wknd. i need to feel some pride!

we took a fella home from the bar last night. it went...ok? we're both pretty new to this and not sure how to manage all the various feelings and expectations that attenuate to this kind of thing. doubt we'll see him again but it wasn't a disaster.

that's awesome - it takes some getting used to but can be super fun

Literally everyone else in the world is doing this right now but me, it seems.

But, you know, first things first. It takes two to make a thing go right.

looking for Gay Shame events here -- apparently still only a thing in SF.

the air here is still like dog puke.

it gets better Morbs. there are more thunderstorms a comin'

Tonight's movie date canceled in favor of another happy hour on Thursday. Probably for the better since he's a good conversationalist.

yeah! conversation is better than sitting in silence

also: drinks=fun

Yeah, he and I have got way more to talk about than we have to not talk about rn.

there are more thunderstorms a comin'

yes, just late enough for me to go all the way out to Queens because they won't postpone the Mets game til i get there. yay wasted evening!

I MARCHED IN A PRIDE PARADE (?!?!) this weekend which was extremely atypical for me but also extremely fun!!!! Who knew!?

i marched in SF pride 2013 with the free chelsea manning contingent (which was great) and manned a booth at LA pride 2009 (which was awful)

i didn't even march in my college reunion non-pride parade o_O

also can someone pls confirm that i am not the only one who knows the lyrics in the thread title?

thank you.

is Rehoboth Beach fun? should i go there to see the MEKONS play next month, and stay the night? Stevie?

i had fun there (tho i got caught in two downpours) - somewhat older crowd, bars close early

What's the most direct way to get there from NYC? That whole Delaware bay thing confuses me.

i took a bus down there - i don't remember from where or how i got where i was going once i got there (my friend's mom had a car)

so this is the weekend at my boss's country house. i think i have a pair of short black swim trunks? he said to bring a swimsuit, jeans and a sweater. i'm excited!

also he sent me a picture a week ago of of 2 handsome gentlemen jumping off the dock so i guess maybe i'll actually swim? i usually just look pretty on the beach as opposed to actually going in the water

I like Rehoboth quite a bit but transit to/from is a major pain in the ass w/o a car. You'd have to get to Wilmington, DE and take a bus from there but iirc it only runs like friday night and sunday night? or something?

i went to INDUSTRY last night

what kinda COVER? was there a theme?

Have fun on your boss weekend; I will be watching library DVDs and trying to sow some wet oats before my dry mini-vacation.

Literally everyone else in the world is doing this right now but me, it seems.

hi! I've been to two pride events in my life. My priority at present is to finish a Thomas Hardy novel and finish Tom Hardy.

we've had skies of an irritating blue for days and 10 percent chance of rain through Father's Day = Miami at its best + worst.

You know, I misread your remark, Eric. Pride = no. Threesomes = yes!

Fuck you.

I'm serious. I can't do anything right.

honey, are you OK?

is that a euph?

It should be. Alas, just more corporate assimilation propaganda in my FB newsfeed.

At least it ain't for a pumpkin spice latte.

it is that season eh?

Five more days.

As for "where do poly people find the time" that is definitely true but in my experience it's just like a really good and intense social and/or familial situation. Rn what I miss most about the poly thing is not at all the sex but just having people to care for/people who care for me.

but friendships w/o sex provide this surely?

would rather take drugs with my friends and/(or!) talk to them than have sex with them, for intense social situations

^^^^

THIS!

trying to decide if i should go out tonight

take drugs with friends!

that's the plan. also i have the house to myself so like house party or something? also i have run into the guy that Ryan is seeing on the side like 5 times at different events and every time he looks like someone different. chameleon face! now he's friended me on Facebook and Ryan's all unnerved lolol

i went out and now i'm drinking Radeberger at home!! and listening to KP ....

yesterday I biked to my boo's house before he got home and assembled his new IKEA record shelf for him and then we got beer and pizza and danced to his 7" single of "Express Yourself" in our underwear in his living room

omg help me

stop. that is like my heaven

then we cuddled a lot and then he woke up early to make us freshly ground coffee, omg what have I done to deserve such a boy

saw some of the Ciccone Army on the way to her show last night, which reminded me that my next partytime is watching 4 weeks of postseason baseball alone.

(if the streams stay up)

Welp, this happened to me last night:

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CPSE_LfUAAA1p1j.jpg

Cute couple on Twitter wanting a third. I initiate a conversation. The first few replies are normal. Then this happens.

I'm not hurt, just still a bit shocked that adults could be this rude (but not really, because I'm guessing this shit happens to women all the time). Like, I don't think they were obligated to fuck me or even reply to me on Grindr, but why act like the local bridge troll is in your way if you chose to respond in the first place? Why go out of your way to be an asshole?

fuck those idiots

wtf that's awful

once i ignored someone's message on okc (clicked thru to his profile, wasn't feeling it) and after about half an hour he sent another message that said something like "ugh, what's wrong with me? even the ugly guys ignore me"

but on a nicer note: on the train just now i sat across from a 'throuple' (i wish there were a better word for this) sitting in three adjacent seats, the outer guys' heads resting on the middle guy's shoulders, all three napping, it was p adorable

Maybe a function of being in Minnesota, but I never did get that and when I quit, I did it at least partially out of knowing that sort of bullshit was around the corner.

saw a lotta graybeards in Madonna t shirts tonight

(she played Brooklyn)

was unable to confirm rumor that, in tribute to Bangkok massage parlors, she fired AARP applications into the audience from her cooch.

i know i was out around 6 i'm surprised i didn't run into them

wd've been much more interesting if she and the Pope were here the same weekend.

enjoyed a dream last night where a young employee and I engaged in a furious makeout session but were interrupted by my worrying about a gardener a hundred feet away who may or may not have seen us. The rest of the dream was my trying to get more. I felt like Fernando Rey.

If the gardener had joined in, might qualify as a free adaptation of Forster's Maurice.

The autumnal equinox arrives precisely at 4:21 a.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 23. Don't let me pick the fall thread title.

Also, isn't that really LATE? END TIMES

oof -- if all gardeners looked like Rupert Graves in 1987.

mm hmmm

hey fellas.

hiya!

The autumnal equinox arrives precisely at 4:21 a.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 23

this should be the title imo

i went swimming at The Standard in my Tommy Hilfiger briefs last night. it was weird.

Chitty Chitty Gang Bang

who's building the new thread

LOCK THREAD

You guys REALLY don't want me naming the new thread today.

or ever

Or posting in it.

stop that.

i'll do it again if needed. i fucking love fall.

but i have a feeling a certain someone will want to get creative....

can we maybe not use the word gay though? might be a little constraining. how bout LGBTQETC :) xo xo

you did name the new thread, Eric

Some uplifting Oscar Wilde quotes for a bright autumn day's gay thread title brainstorm:

"Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go."
"Until this moment, I never understood how hard it was to lose something you never had."
"It is better to be beautiful than to be good. But... it is better to be good than to be ugly."
"Whenever people agree with me I always feel I must be wrong."
"He has no enemies, but is intensely disliked by his friends."
