And females have to deal with a lot of stupid shit guys do, they def. do not get enough credit for it.

That's one thing I don't think I'll ever fully understand--what's so enticing about getting a guy into bed who says he's straight? Is it just for bragging rights or something? I mean, lord knows I've had a lot of sexy thoughts about guys who were more than likely straight, but I don't get actively trying to pursue someone who prominently says they're straight.

I definitely agree with Jared. Guys who identify as mostly straight either are or they are so fucked up in the head that they can't admit their own sexual preference. Neither of which is a particularly appealing trait, to me at least.

If he's not willing to come out, that's his business. There are lots of guys who go that route. You, however, don't have to put up with it. What are his reason's for staying on the down low, if I may ask. His kid should come before you though, because, well, it's his kid. Sorry, I'm a bit rusty on the advice.

I Halfway loved getting my Wisdom Teeth taken out. I'm really good with dental work(strangely, I don't mind having large things shoved in my mouth) and they hurt like hell. So it was a really nice four hours(two days in real, non-vicodin, time) of laying in bed spending quality time with an ice pack and changing gauze. I hope you're feeling better.

I think congratulations are in order? You're finally getting out of there and moving on to the bigger and better!

HI GAYS!
Congrats rex! I feel like anyone who says they're leaving Wyoming deserves a congratulations. (I have seen TV, I know what wyoming is like. smh)

And Bretters, trust me, if it isn't working out right now for you and that dude, it's probs for the best. Guys who are in the closet are very difficult to date (for me, at least), unless you have the patience of dealing with their secret-weirdness, and then going through all the same sorta shit you went through when you were coming out with them all over again.. My first boyfriend was still mostly in the closet, and that was a huge contributing factor in our mutual and amicable break-up (me dumping him).

Anyway, gay-life news updates with me.. uhh.. I worked on Le Lingerie Francais fashion show in Toronto at the beginning of this month! It was a lot of fun!! Got to work with some really high end designers and really nice models. That's about the most exciting thing that's happened to me over the summer.. oh, and I got a second job as a visual merchandiser at Bath and Body Works. Moderately priced soaps are my calling (name that movie)

Congrats on all the exciting new work you've been doing!

[RealEmotionX]

and by easy coast I obz mean East Coast.

[amikaligula]

Whoot whoot, way to go Rex. Easy coast made me grin like a cheshire cat. Meow meow.

And your going-ons sound awesome Abs. May I extend a very late happy birthday?

Closeted relationships are tricky waters to navigate. I hope things work out better in the future. If it's the end of the relationship, just find a redeeming aspect that made the time and energy spent worthwhile. There usually is something. Don't look back in anger*

Getting my wisdom teeth removed was awful. The "friend" who drove me home turned out to be a real scumbag, asking me questions about people when I was conscious but not lucid and then trying to spread that dirt around. Then, when I got home my gauze was completely saturated in blood and I was convinced that I was going to bleed to death (I can stand blood, just not my own) and ended up using all the gauze in my first aid kit. I was put on Oxycodone and it made me really itchy. How is Dilaudid?

*I may or may not be on an Oasis binge and drinking too much wine to cover the taste of my burnt supper

[naberdy]

Dilaudid is pretty nice although it tends to make me pretty sleepy. I was completely out of my head when I left the surgeon's office. I don't remember anything after they gave me my I.V. until I woke up from a nap back at my house about 5 hours later. The swelling in my face is finally coming down but now the bruises are setting in, so I have a huge yellow bruise on each side of my face.
