Bleached..

There’s this guy.

I’ve never really had a real conversation with him, but he’s hot, in that timid ‘I don’t know what I’m trying to say’ kind of way. But he’s hot.

And I want to have a real conversation with him, despite the fact that I’ve never done so; it’s the goal that’s important. Tonight I went to a straight club, with straight people, drinking (sometimes) straight drinks. He was there too, although I normally see him at the gay club, with gay people, drinking (always) gay drinks. We’re gay, that’s what we do.

Anyway, I’m not overwhelmed, I’m not overtaken, I’m not overcome, but I’m not in there, being obvious, being devious, being clear. It’s seduction the way I’d want it to be done – the way that it’s subtle, there all the time but not annoying, available but not desperate. I want to have fun but I want him to have fun seeing me have fun. I want to be watched but not persued. I want to have my cake and eat it.

“I want to have a laugh, but I want him to laugh with me.”

That’s all.
That’s all!

Being home for Thanksgiving

I’m home this weekend for a meet-and-greet with my family. I love them to bits, they’re great, but thank god that I don’t have to live with them any more. They’re fun but they drive me insane with their habits, their styles of living and their middle-class clutter.

Everything is just too much around them.

It’s great to see them in short two-day chunks.

….I’m dreading Christmas.

Pacific sleeper shark

pacific sleeper sharkAfter reading a Wired News article about deep-sea diving, I was intrigued by the Pacific Sleeper Shark. I’ve never heard of it before and it sounds kind of nifty. Supposedly one of the great ocean predators:

Very little is known of sleeper shark life history. Age and size at maturity are unknown. They are thought to be ovovivparous (produce eggs that hatch within the females body), but gestation time and litter size has not been determined. Despite its sluggish and inoffensive reputation, they are voracious and versatile predators. The stomach contents of one 12 foot (3.7m) female weighed 300 pounds (136kg) and consisted of mostly rex and Dover soles. Another sleeper shark stomach contained 3 hair seals. Their diet also includes flatfish; halibut, soles, salmon, and rockfish. Other prey includes octopus & squids, crabs, and carrion (Hart 1973). In the picture below is a chunk of harbor seal skin and attached tissue recovered from the stomach of a Pacific sleeper shark.”
