'Twas the Night Before Christmas
Christmas Eve at my parents' house. They finally have broadband, and I have spent much of the last 36 hours setting up their new computer, so yay for all of that. Drove down here Sunday and have been lazy ever since. Except for wrapping Christmas presents and setting up the new Dell, I've pretty much been letting Mom take care of me, and that's nice...I've done a lot the last couple weeks, between baking, shopping, a small party, oh, and working sometimes too, I suppose. It's nice to take a break.
Had a very fun weekend, especially Saturday night. A friend works at a local Asian bistro and they've been recently started running a Saturday night party there until 2am, with a DJ and small dance floor. They decided that, to increase the crowd, they wanted to encourage "the gays" to come out. And we did. Only about 12-15 of us, but it was plenty. The place was packed with starigt (mostly Asian) people, and though at first us fab boys were just chatting and having to drinks and getting to know each other (I only knew my friend, Adrian actually knew one other guy from Fridae), we soon hit the dance floor. Some of us were REALLY out and proud, some were just super sexy, and some were...well, we just were. I'm not sure what the straight people thought...some seemed a little uncomfortable with us dancing all up on each other (yeah, by the end of the night, we got to know each other very well). I think most of the women thought it was great, some of the guys semed a little less sure, some obviously were cool with it, and some looked like they wanted to join us (but their girlfriends might be upset). Even though we were in the minority, no one looked like they would bother us...I think if you have two guys dancing together in a straight club they might have trouble, but when you have 10 or 12 (and a couple of the guys were totalley buffed) nobody wants to challenge you because they might have a dozen guys jump them, and not in the good way. I think my Gaylaysian friends have discovered this, since when I saw them out in a crowd (and from party pics I've recently seen) they don't hide stuff but aren't too worried about it.
Best line of the night: as we're leaving the club around 2:30am, in a crowd of a dozen of us, mostly Latino, black, or Asian, we are making a bit of noise. One of the guys says "quiet, we don't want cops coming after us, there are lots of white people living here!" The he turns to me: "Oh, hey, no offense."
heh heh None taken.
So yeah, lots of fun was had, I have found some new folks who will be fun to hang out with, and yeah, some of them are VERY cute, giving me all sorts of naughty thoughts to last me during my time at my parents' house (notice how I came full circle there?).
Tomorrow is Christmas and that will be a nice family day here. I'll head back to DC Tuesday afternoon (I'm working Wednesday) and Adrian and I will have Christmas Tuesday night. Hope he likes his gifts!
I've tried to send cards, or at least e-mails, to folks, but I know there are some I've missed. I don't have access to my regular e-mail here, and I'm out of cell phone range so text/SMS doesn't work. So for anyone I've missed (and this especially goes out to you, Eddie) MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!

Confirmed
The cute boy on the bus is, in fact, gay. Or at least, in his words, kind of confused. He's a nice guy and we've been getting to know each other on the bus/Metro over the last month. Confirmation came last night and within a couple hours he was having dinner over here with us. Because we like gay people. Especially in our complex. And particularly if they are under 65 and not hitting on Adrian.

Zzzzzzzz...huh?
The sleep test went OK, I guess. Very strange. I was wired up like a radio which made me uncomfortable, and I woke up more than I normally would and didn't move around as much as I think I usually do. So I don't know how accurate it was.
This morning it was time to remove all the sensors. That hurt. I lost a chunk of hair from my chest, and also my legs, where things were taped on. I think I also lost hair in other places, which was strange, as there were no sensors stuck on me there. Hmmmm....
I went straight to work, feeling a little strange because there was a crease in my face where a hose for my nose (sounds like a Dr Seuss poem) was laying across my cheek. It looked like I'd slept on something strange. There were also a couple red spots on my face where sensors had been placed. I figured if anyone asked I'd just say I was in a bar fight. It's more interesting than the truth.
In case anyone is wondering, it is COLD here. Stupid winter.
Hope it warms up a little. Adrian and I are off to New York Friday night for the 3-day weekend. We're going to see Chicago, as Bebe Neuwirth is starring in it again and we're all about her. We're also going to a Chinese new yer party that a friend of a friend of Adrian's is having. And Sunday night we're meeting up with Ethan, who's going up with some other friends for the night, to go to a club. Very fun. But it'll be more fun if it's warmer than the South Pole.
Note to Scooter Pooter: please don't be pissed that I didn't call and set something up during this visit...the preplanned events have us scurrying around and I am afraid we would not have quality time. I am making it my mission to see you soon, however. You have been warned.
Oh, and I have to say that Lost was very intriguing this week. It's even more intriguing because we hadn't set the TiVo to go long, and as a result we missed the last thing Desmond said to Charlie. Time to go grab it online. And also change the TiVo settings.
I flirted with Jai Rodriguez on his MySpace page earlier this week. He responded with a LOL. I'm in heaven.

Cute Bus Boy
No, not a cute busboy...a cute boy on the bus! On the condo shuttle bus to the Metro, that is, and it was all the more surprising because the average age in this complex appears to be something like 55. But there he was, getting on at the building next to mine, then sitting next to me (I'm pretty sure there were plenty of single seats left, though I might be wrong) with his leg pressed up against mine the whole ride. We didn't talk (he had his iPod on) but we managed to sit next to each other again on the train and chatted a bit. Seems like a nice guy, fairly outgoing. Definitely got a gay vibe off of him. It would be nice to know other gay people here, and not just creepy old men like Adrian met back at the beginning of August. He just started taking the bus/Metro combination, so hopefully we'll see each other and I can figure things out, and then we can have him over for drinks or something. In fact, maybe I'll fix a drink right now. Apple martini, anyone?
