I didn’t know. How could I? All through high school, I was beaten up and teased for being gay. But I wasn’t gay. Or didn’t think I was. Now Wes, the guy across the street who’s taken me under his wing and been the best friend I’ve ever had, won’t stop invading my dreams, hell, my every waking thought. Am I gay? Because I’m thinking I’d like to kiss him. Actually, I’m thinking there’s a lot more I’d like to do with his mouth and the rest of that tall, confident, muscular body. Ah, man… I’m so gay!

But what if he doesn’t feel the same way about me? And, Jesus, what about my parents? And those bastards from school are still around. And I’m supposed to go to college this fall… Shit, I need to sit down. I can’t breathe and I’m about to shake apart.

Then Wes puts his hand on the back of my neck, gives me one of those encouraging squeezes and his bright smile, and everything’s okay again. Yeah, I’m hooked. Oh, boy…

My high school economics class was on the side of the building by the train tracks. Twice during class, trains would go by. I'd imagine just getting up, walking out, and hopping that train to wherever the hell it was going. Just leave my life behind. Walk away. It's utterly and completely selfish, but that's what I'd do if there were no consequences.

I have a Kindle 2 because my favorite books are rarely published in print. I HAVE to read them in digital format. I DON'T have to have a Kindle and I'm feeling awful that I have one now since Amazon's being such a PRICK. They've removed books they don't like. Just...removed them. And they seem to mostly be erotic romance and some are LGBT in nature. Add to that how they've removed 4000+ reviews by Amos Lassen because other reviewers don't like a gay guy reviewing LGBT books and making it into the Top 50 Reviewers and I'm starting to fucking hate Amazon. I realize they're a business and they can run things however they want to, but is that really the stand they want to take? I'm mad, disappointed, and hurt. I'm also feeling like a traitor because, DAMN IT, I still want to read my favorite books. BASTARDS.

Decorating for the holidays. I ought to do it, I know I'll regret it if I don't, but gawd it's a lot of damn work. And then the taking down of it all! My birthday is 9 Jan. and I really don't like having Christmas stuff all over when Santa-season is over and it's my damn day now. Ah well. Where the hell are the lights?

I don't remember where I got this, but I use it all the time: When you're stuck on who a character is in the story you're writing, interview them. Ask him questions and answer them as that character would. Why is that wacky? Because you're interviewing yourself. I think it was Doctorow who said being a writer is the most socially acceptable form of schizophrenia.

My boss informed me I was going to start working part-time with less duties and supervised by one of my coworkers after 10 years of full-time as a manager so they could save money. Doing me a favor, you see, because otherwise they'd have to let me go completely. In this economy, there's no way I could quit and hope to find another position in the month they gave me to think it over. So, despite wanting to murder him and set the place on fire, I accepted the new situation and just do my job. The joy in my work is gone, my resume's become crap, but at least I still have something of a paycheck, right? I might have to start hooking when my savings can't cover the difference in pay, but that'll just make for great stories to tell...
