Slow Tuesday

It's been a long Tuesday already and it's not even noon (as of right now). Only a few people came in making me really tired. Plus last night was just rough for Ted. Bachelor number 3 still didn't e-mail him back plus he was getting really frustrated with his computer. The funny thing about Ted is that he will point out that I have a short fuse on certain things, but give him a computer and by the end of the day he's ready to throw things at people. You see his laptop (which is newer than mine) always slows down when he's at the apartment. I have my laptop up or my cell phone and his slows down to a crawl. I think it's cause he has way too many programs going in the back ground, but what do I know. Anyway so with his computer going slow and bachelor number 3 not responding he was in a bit of a foul mood. Then on top of that Coach's boss passed away. She was just 31 years old. So it was just not a great Monday and it's spilling over into today. Hopefully Ted will be better today since he doesn't have to come into work which seems to depress him all the more.

I was talking to Coach today and he was telling me about some of his conservative Catholic friends. They apparently wonder how long we will last since us gay men aren't faithful at all. Honestly in this day and age it amazes me how people think this is still an argument. I'd like to point you to Elton John, Neil Patrick Harris, Ricky Martin, and Clay Aiken. Those are just 4 examples of guys in partnerships WITH KIDS! Those are just the famous ones. There are many other examples all around, but they just aren't in the lime light. And if we want to get into nip picking let's talk about all the straight relationships that ended because of cheating. 50% of marriages end in divorce. and I would say of that 50% maybe 2% are same sex couples and that's being generous I'm sure. I only know of one case of a same sex divorce, and only because it happened in Texas. Two women got married in a northern state (don't remember which and not like it matters) and then moved to Texas. They then filed for divorce some time later and the argument was that if Texas did allow the divorce they would have to acknowledge the marriage, but back to my point. This breed of people refuse to see anything beyond what they believe. If they believe birds fly and you show them an emu or a penguin they say you're lying. For everyone else they have adapted. I will admit early on I didn't think it was possible to have a monogamous relationship. That's because my only glimpse at gay life was porn. When I saw real loving gay couples that changed. So if your mind is open you won't have these hard and fast rules.
Speaking of hard and fast rules, I think Ted has been amazed at how level headed I've been this year. You see around this time I apparently turn into an unbearable beast for about 2 months. Usually stating from the start of september to about mid november. It's apparently happened for the last 3 years. Well this year I've apparently been very pleasant and a joy to be around. I think he brought it up trying to subtly say that my relationship with Coach seems to be really good for me and his and my relationship caused me to be cranky around my b-day. Honestly I don't think it was the relationship. The first year was my first b-day away from friends and family so you can see how that might make someone cranky. I had made no new friends outside of Ted and I think at that time I still didn't have a car. Cranky kinda came with the territory. I thought my 2nd year I was a lot better, but I guess I wasn't. Don't know what was up with that one. We were even at a new and better place. Last year I know what happened. Our relationship had run it's course and we had to break up. This year I have a new car (that allows me to see my boyfriend), I have a boyfriend that encourages me to have friends, I have friends (who I won't ask to throw me a party), and I just feel more mature than I did last year. Maybe it's because it's the year of the dragon and I'm a dragon. Maybe it's because I'm with a guy who I feel like I can truly be myself with. Maybe it's cause I have a bright future to look forward to. Whatever the reason I'm in a better mood and who wants to question that?
