Diary

And Ray + Steve. Didn't talk to 'em. Lots of leather + yesteryears drag queens. Peter Jackson wearing same washed out pastel shirt + earing.

And ran into Bob Carroll. He looks so much like Bobby Spivey, yet without the Body, I couldn't place him. We walked around awhile. Full of compliments. He likes the grey T, as does Dave Sch.

I got Shanti's address. Should pledge to them too $100/mo and boost NWAF to $100/mo. Tax deductible at 38.5% still! GOOD

I almost got excited about having Rob Carroll to come over but he's only 24, not in shape, not grown-up, so I'm glad he was busy later today.

3:45 Walk back to car at Lakeview Park. Drive home. Shower. Feels good. I sure don't fit in in gay life here anymore. Two years ago the rally was still fun. Pics to prove it. But now I feel so SUPERIOR (ha!) that I ostracise myeslf. Can't relate to Revolutionary Socialist Feminism. Or to people who are all out of shape.

4:45 As always, it's clear I don't want a social life here unless it's with people I know, or July 4th wknd. SO TO BE SAFE, RESERVE FLTS TO LA.

5:15 Read Research Recommendations and have cup of coffee with Amaretto. COFFEE BUZZ

5:45 Pay 5 bills.

6:15 Go to mail. Look in at Riz. Talk with Rick Freeberg awhile.

7:00 Home to make + eat dinner.

8:00 Head for Tugs. Something told me wouldn't it be better to enjoy the evening with someone. But who? And out at Tugs I see Eric, who says he + Bob are splitting up. I didn't feel good about it.

Danced with Dave Schuman but music was uninspiring. Also w/Anson. Cute but very small. They're having not such a good day. And Gene Souza didn't stop to say hello. Kou Kaleel has stopped drinking (but not smoking) and lives in Tacoma (for Qusset)

Also saw Steve Segal. Too bad he's so short. Not much sense of humor either. Saw Barry from Kitsalano. Has to go back! Trolls asked me to dance. Too awful. Hate to snub 'em. Met guy from Atlanta. I was friendly, but he's not my type. Dance with Rick Freeberg awhile.

10:30 Leave and walk to Ritz. Not for me. Walk slowly home. Not sad, but disappointed. At home, lay back. Rob Carroll had called.

11:15 Decide to go to Tubs. Not really for me, I deserve better. Really unattractive. Couple big fat ones. But then I ran into Bryce Watts. Walked to his room. Great time! Cleaned up. Just what I needed. Invited him to dinner tomorrow. Gave him work number. While hugging + saying bye, Rob C passes by.

12:30 Go home, snack, gas from seven up and calistoga + Bartle + Jaymes. Bad! But it passes ok...Don't drink that on an empty stomach. And not out of the bottle. Let it fizz!!

Write up tonite.

1:30 Think + write up tonight. So high risk. Should've called Bryce to go out. Why did I go to Tugs, 2 Sundays in a row? And why did I stay so late. Trying so hard. It's tough getting back into human reality that I cna't control, like software development

1:45 To bed.
