  • Faggots...a posting!

    Lois, I'm just warning you. If this movie turns me gay, I'm gonna start bringing gay guys home. And I don't mean the classy, "maybe-they-are-maybe-they're-not" gay guys, I mean those big, "Oh-my-God-here-they-come-floating-around-making-noise" gay guys. Not the "fix-up-your-house" gay guys.


    Today's post is all about The Gays!!! (And as such, my title pays homage to Larry' Kramer's novel!)

    Reader:  How is that different from any other day?
    PJ:  I'm being more outwardly observant, than just looking in my own naval.
    Reader:  OK...so it's a "smile, nod and say sure PJ" kinda thing.
    PJ:  Yep

    I am one of those suckers who buys into advertising; especially if it's a product for something that I struggle to overcome, e.g. four blade razor blades, extra moisturizing shaving cream...or body moisturizer.  I suffer from really dry skin, so when Olay claimed that their new body moisturizer could moisturize AND rebuild the moisture barrier of your skin, I jumped at it. 

    Lemme tell you, it works.  My skin is soft, well moisturized, and it lasts all day long...there is however, a problem...tiny bits of glitter.  The lotion contains glitter.  Granted the product is marketed to woman, and I assume they like that crap...BUT DAMN IT.  So yes...I am glittery...but damn am I soft. 

    Straight face...

    There is an episode of Will & Grace where Grace asks Will if the reason he hasn't introduced his new man friend to her is because the guy has "gay face."  When she said that, it immediately gave me a name for something that I had always known, but never gave a name to...gay men whom you can tell are gay just by looking at their face.  It's something genetic...the best example I can come up with is Carson Kressley...he totally has gay face. 

    On Saturday, we attended dinner at P&B's.  The reason for dinner was to introduce us to P's former colleague, and friend Bianca and her husband Corbin (not real names...but still fun).  Bianca was delicious...fun, interesting, smart and girl can drink.  Corbin was equally delicious...for all those reasosns as well as all sorts of others. 

    Anyway...as I was chatting with Corbin, I realized, Corbin has straight face.  Just looking at his face, there is no question he likes girls.  Corbin is hot in a way that gay guys just aren't and never can.  Think NYC stoner, but clean and not on drugs...funky t-shirt, trendy jeans and stylish sneakers.  It's a polished style with a lack of care that makes it something no gay man...no matter how "non-stereotypical" could manage.

    OK I lied...

    Now I am gazing at my naval.  There is a guy in the show I am working on, whom I tease.  I mean mercilessly...and the director has asked me to back off him.  Fair enough...so I was sitting there thinking about why I pick on him...

    Whatever anyone might like to say about me.  Whether they want to call me a big Mo, a little flamey at times...what have you...make no mistake, I can be a very aggressive alpha-dog.  In this instance, I smell weakness...he is weak and makes an easy target and I go for it. 

    I'm going to be more cognizant of it...and leave him be to limp around and lick his wounds.   There are all sorts of things I started thinking about in relation to this...whether I would be a good dad; would I push a kid too hard, would I not accept less than perfection...and then I decided the weather was too nice and I was done looking inward and wanted to sing along with my iPod and drink my iced coffee.

    Laterz...

    Hilarious FG quote, first off.

    Second... my oh my... What a psychological little widow into PJ.

  • AerialPJ

    @seraphimarts - I just love the thought of "...floating around making noise gay guys..."  I giggle every time. 

  • seraphimarts

    @AerialPJ - Heh.. Indeed. My favorite, I think, however, is still:

    Stewie: I'm the dog. I'm well read and have a diverse stock portfolio. But I'm not above eating grass clippings and regurgitating them on the rug.
    Brian: I'm a pompous little antichrist who will abandon my plans for world domination when I grow up and wind up settling with a rough trick named Jim.

    set apart from the pack...

    What were you like as a kid in elemenatry and junior high and high school? Did you bully the kids who were not big and who couldn't defend themselves?  If you did, then you are goingto be baaaaaad as a dad.

  • AerialPJ

    @ZSA_MD - Funny enough...I was the one bullied!!    It was a very long thought-road that got me there...but I think the short of it is...I really rather being the cool, supportive uncle!

  • CF539

    haha, I know gay face very well...you can spot it miles away! And about the whole nose-picking-in-the-car...I must confess, I have from time to time been guilty; but it's usually at night, and it's usually pretty bad!

    I mean, what?

  • silentbill1814

    You?  Accept less than perfection??  **gasp & clutch the pearls**

    Actually, I think you're much more likely to apply that to yourself.

  • fallinghardandfast

    lol..preying on the weak eh?  I find myself guilty of that sometimes too without even realizing it...it just happens. 

  • apocatim
    uh-huh

    Maybe that you got bullied brought you a toughness less picked on people don't get. I know I was hyper-bitchy in school. I had my dork mafia that I guarded closely. I think it's why I feel responsible for their now high-achieving lives.

    I would probably have bitched at you for making picking on the guy. I can't stand to see people singled out or not feel a part of the group. It's the Special Ed. teacher in me. I always push my kids to go to dances, clubs, events and sports.

    As for gay face, I  know I'm a total Nell sometimes and it doesn't bother me, but the gay culture, at least in Houston, values masculinity and youth above all else, it explains why there is always a flock of queens in abercrombie shirts that obviously weren't designed for the lithe. When I look for a guy to date, I like the outgoing queen. I know I'm not supposed to, but I like a pretty boy. :)

    @apocatim -

    did I say making picking? The hell was that? 

  • AerialPJ

    @apocatim - Making picking...I love that!!! 

  • AerialPJ

    @apocatim - My friend Chris and I alway say...the out-going loud queen that the "str8 acting guys" don't want around...send him our way...he's fun!!!

    Okay - it's not really an anonymous post, but it's early and if I try to create another Xanga account, I'll start shrieking and go hypoglycemic or something.  You don't want that.

    Girl, why have you not shared the glitter creme?  You know we could have a whole party around that - complete with themed cocktails.  And Nigella bowls.  And capes.

    Holy Mary - talk about Gay Face....

    Corbin and Bianca (love it) loved meeting you - 'specially Bianca cause you know she fierce.  They will be back.

    Hung over and out
    (ooh - that begs for a comma, doesn't it?)

    Yea, I'm one of the gays who can't live without lotion.
