shorties

1. friday, part one: we had this happy hour to celebrate justin's full-time-ness. it wasn't until after we had paid that i realized i should've paid for him since i a.) instigated the happy hour, b.) it's customary for the person whose happy hour it is to not pay, and c.) he (and the other freelancers) hot jipped a week's pay when we closed down for the last week of the year. so i kinda felt like an asshole for that. i almost e-mailed him and said such, but instead i posted a passive-aggressive message on craigslist, which i immediately deleted the next day.

2. friday, part two: after the happy hour, several of us went to b scene at the blanton. you can see pics here. it was fun, although i was still kinda assholey because i kept waving and trying to get attention from the dj that velouria thought was cute. i blame the very potent margarita i had at vivo.

3. date?: saturday night i had what might've constituted as a date. sadly, i met the guy on gay.com, also saturday night. i had to IM him after i read his profile and it said that he'd like to meet guys who can "argue about art (or anything you are passionate about), enjoying pastries, having a bitchin' music collection & the ability to tolerate the fact that i wear blue jeans & a black tshirt almost everyday of the week". so yeah, that screamed for my attention. so we talked for a while, then we decided to meet up (he chose to hang out with me instead of going to emo's; i'm still a little shellshocked that i met a gayman who goes to emo's). i went to his place, we talked a lot, we drank wine, we saw heathers, and we talked some more. before we knew it, it was six in the morning. oh yeah, and i kept oggling his book collection. he said we should get together tonight and watch less than zero, but i don't know if that was just the drunkenness talking. oy.

4. getting along: lately my ex and i have being hanging out again. and it doesn't feel weird anymore. it's like we've finally gotten to the point where we can actually be friends. it's a little comforting.

5. splat: on the way to work today (well, more exactly at the corner of 38th and west), i saw a dead tuxedo cat on the road. it made me remember about this time last year, dar's cat willie (who is a tuxedo cat) ran away. and we looked for him and put up signs. i'd drive around dar's neighborhood almost every day hoping i'd see willie in someone's yard and not like the cat in the road i saw today. we never found him. i still hope some random family took him in.

6. deleted post: laste friday night/saturday morning, i made an almost too personal post about and old friend of mine who has cancer. i got flack from it from a couple of people i didn't know read my blog (people i was friends with in high school) about how they thought i was making it up. and it's not the first time i've gotten this. i don't use this blog to retcon my past. if anything, i post things one here that most people who know me don't know about me. there's a lot of things i've kept to myself over the years, and i try to let them all out on here. anyway, the e-mails made me angry, so i deleted the post.

7. art project: i decided that for 2007, i'm going to have a two part art project. well, more like a photo project. i'm going to be taking a picture a day or myself and something else. the picture of me doesn't neccesarily have to be taken by me (since sunday's was taken by dar), but it just has to be in a different place. i hope i keep up with it. you can see my progress so far here and here.
