Little Brothers

Everyone should have one. I think they are probably the best things after girfriends. If you don't have one, tell your parents to get on it. If they are beyond their reproductive years, tell them to adopt one. And if they tell you no...well then you should probably put yourself up for adoption and hope that a family with a pre-existing little brother will adopt you.

My brother is the absolute best there is. This morning I woke up to the realization that I don't own a camera. Shocking, I know. Lost the privileges to one in the divorce. With the Pride Parade just around the corner it just dawned on me that I need one. And with a brother who works at a store where he can get discounts...who do you gonna call? Ghostbusters?!? No! R2! When he got off the work he met me at the electronics department, I handed him the camera and off to the cash registers he went. So I'm now a proud owner of a small pink (go gay) digital camera.

The weather is supposed to be perfect for the weekend. Sunny and around 26 degrees C for both days! I have my "Lebanese" tank top and t-shirt ready and I have all my pride jewelry out. I'm so ready. The only thing I'm not quite sure is how gay can I go/be? It was easier in NYC when I was with T and could take my cues from her and also we were at Christopher Street so you knew no one would harass you there. We were all one big happy gay family. Last year the pride parade in Helsinki got gasses. I've never really showed my gay pride in anywhere else except Forssa when it comes to Finland and I know Forssa, I feel safe here and I kinda feel like people wouldn't know gay pride here if it bit them in the ass so I could be walking around as a giant rainbow and they'd just think I'm crazy. I mean, seriously.

Yesterday at the Roof, me and Elviira were sitting by ourselves and I think I had just showed her my rainbow bracelets when this guy tries to sit with us. And all that time I had been leaning on my right hand with the bracelets showing. Ota silmä käteen ja kato! First of all...Who goes to a terrace at 8pm alone expecting to find company? I would understand in a bar but terrace? Really? Second of all...SEE THE RAINBOWS! Pay attention dude. And Third...we were in a middle of a conversation... and finally...Do I look like I'm interested?  I must be doing something wrong because to me it's pretty clear I'm gay. It should be pretty clear to other people too. All you gotta do is read the signs...And Elviira was sitting her back to him. Maybe she was neck flirting? I dunno people... The male mind is such a weird fascinating thing...

Anyways, Only one day left on this countdown! Then we can count down till I get my tattoo!

Toodles!

You're multi-talented!

Well, you know...that's all I can think of it being as I sure as hell did NOT do anything to make him think he'd be welcome to our table. Besides, most of the time he was sitting there he was playing with his phone so unless we (you) were sending signals I don't know where he got the idea from...

Just remember when the concept of "neck flirting" hits the mainstream media, it was here you heard it first!
