So for almost 2 months now I've gone up the elevator and down the elevator wondering what was on V and wondering how you got there since there aren't any buttons for it.

YAY
Yesterday I spent about an hour on the phone with my good friend Dennis in NY. He's coming to visit for Dore Alley Fair. Last I saw him was a year ago for IML and the last I talked to him, he was pretty burnt out with the leather scene, men, laying the game, etc...
Things have changed and apparently he is dating a guy from Ottawa and they will both be out and staying with me.
Dennis was one of the first real friends that I met who was comfortaable with his kinky side, and the leather scene. He was one of the first that I got to know in *that* light and respected even when I wasn't yet comfortable with my own stuff (at least not on a ublic level). Its going to be a great time.

Pride Weekend
So the rest of the weekend went well. Saturday I spent most of the day getting ready for the party that afternoon. I managed to go to breakfast with a few friends and the rest of it was cleaning, making some snacks, and preparing for the 20 people who showed up.
The party was a success. Everyone seemed to have a great time and the stocks that John gave me is storing at my place, was a lot of fun. He leant me his small flogger the weekend before and Ive been practicing. The stocks allowed me to flog someone for the first time and David (who Im getting to know better) was my very first flogee. I was gentle being that Im still a slight bit unsure of myself but was told by John I did well. David of course wanted a harder session but that will come later on Im thinking when we are alone and in private.
We headed off to the Pink Party around 7ish and like every year, everyone split off as soon as we hit Castro. David, Matt, and I hung out mostly at Daddys 440 Castro, although we did take time to go out and explore. The Edge had a line which was a bit weird to see and we just ended up heading over to 19th and Castro to meet up with Davids friend Jill. We went back to 440 and around 11:30 we headed to Orphan Andys for food. It was about 1/2 hour wait just to get in. Jill paid for food (thank you) which was really nice of her. Finally David and I went back to my place for some well needed sleep.
Sunday we skipped the parade, went to Harveys for breakfast. Castro was pretty mild and it was easy to get a table since everyone was at the parade. After breakfast we headed to Civic Center for about 3 hours, walked around while the parade was happening, ran into several friends, and then finally back to Castro. We were at Edge mostly and finally met up with John and Kenji.
The highlight was outside the edge, where Kenji got down on all 4's so a little girl about the age of 3, with the cutest little bonnet on, and the pretties little dress, petted the puppy while her parents looked on. It was such a cute puppy moment and I cant wait to see the picture that John took of it. As for
Finally off to 440 for a few, which we hung out for a bit. I headed home around 6 and had a great nights sleep. Im a bit sun burned from yesterday but not as bad as I would have thought. Hope everyone else had a great weekend.

I need propecia like I need a hole in the head
So I finally went back to my old doctor. Because of insurance changes, I couldnt go back until now and was forced to have Kaiser (some will fight saying its not so bad but its like saying a small bruise isnt as bad as a big bruise). Still I forgot how much I appreciated going to a doctor who is gay and understands the leather scene.
I forgot what I said to get on this roll of talk with my doctor but he was ready to cut into my head (yes with a scalpel and no anesthetic HOT!), and he mentioned that he knew a gay couple who got into cutting each other. I admitted that when it comes to those things I can take a little pain but when it gets to be too much, Im under the table like a puppy. This turned into a talk about puppy play and how someone he knows is only referred to as puppy (I think we may know the same person or people). Either way, I missed that kind of relationship with my doctor.
The reason I went in was because I wanted him to check my cyst again. Recently its gotten bigger and my hair has receded enough to where it is somewhat visible. I expected him to refer me to a dermatologist like he did last time since doctors dont like to remove cysts above the neck, but he immediately told me to turn around so my head and feet were reversed on the bed. Without much conversation about it (ok, no conversation at all), he had the scalpel in his hand and was slicing through my head. Is it so wrong to find that hot? I felt the incision and took it like a man (or boy whichever mood Im in today but unsure lol).
After it was over and he was writing the prescription for the antibiotics (because apparently this is a dirty dirty procedure), he also wrote me a prescription to help quit smoking (Ace, it will still be a few months but Walgreens is holding the prescription). He also gave me a starter pack for propecia which I actually wanted to talk to him about.
As for the physical I wanted done, it didnt happen. When I asked him about it, his response was "youre 5'9, 162lbs, your blood pressure is good, your pulse is good, what else is there?". So needless to say, nothing routine about this office visit.
So here I am looking like a accident victim with bandages on my head and ordered not to shower for 24 hours (hot again I know-the people at work are going to love me tomorrow).
I need a cocktail! :)
Oh yeah, some guy was a prick from the first "hello" when I answered a call at work today. He sucks but I swallow. :)

I made my first .gif icon :)
I started playing more with Fireworks and finally figured a use for it. I learned how to create .gif files. Who knows what madness can come out of it.
On another note, life has been great. Ive been with my new job for over a month now and it feels like Ive been there forever. The people I work with are everything I wanted, the job is exactly what I wanted, and the benefits are very much what I needed. It keeps me busy but I enjoy that. There are only 2 of us there from 6-8 and 3 of us till 9. By the time everyone else rolls in and gets settled, its time for lunch with only about 3 hours left. Before I know it 2 oclock has rolled around and Im strolling out the door.
The one thing I have found is that I now have an extra hour per day which has really thrown off my free time in a weird way. Being that my old job required an hour lunch so you worked 9 hour days, this one pays for 1/2 hour lunch and I work straight 8 hours. Ive found that with the extra hour a day, Ive been getting bored. Im sure Ill find something to do other than go to happy hour.
On another note, I met someone a few weeks ago and things have been going well. Im not sure where they will lead but Im enjoying getting to know David more. He's a great guy, we have a lot in common, and we seem to connect on several levels.
Ok, on to the gif

WOW
You know those moments when you sleep, and you come back to consciousness, yet are groggy and still unaware of where you are or what time it is? I opened my eyes during the night to see displayed in bright LED the word WOW. I thought first to myself in my delirious state, WOW! where did that come from and soon after realizing my clock was displaying 3:03 and my head was still sideways on my pillow.

So I felt bad this weekend. A good friend of mines mom passed away while I was in Chicago and my body needed a weekend to recover so I didnt go to the service. Although I really wanted to be there and support him, my body just didnt want to leave SF even to head to Sacramento.
On another note, it was a fun weekend here in SF. It felt good to be home in my surroundings and drinking at my favorite watering holes. Thursday was Edge, Friday was Powerhouse, Saturday was Daddys 440 Castro, and Sunday was a combo of Eagle beer bust and Daddys 440.
The amazing part of the weekend was a bit of fate I think. To back up to an older blog, there was a guy I really liked, who admitted to me that he had a crush on me for a while. I in turn always thought he was cute when we'd pass by each other on the streets. He was also the one who had the boyfriend that I knew.
I was out with John (as I was drinking most of the weekend), and we went to breakfast at Orphan Andys. We were going to head to Stonestown and even I dont know why I was in the mood to go out there. We went underground to wait for the outbound M only to find out it wasnt running and there would be a shuttle above. We waited about a minute for the shuttle and decided to hit Union Square instead so back underground waiting for an Inbound train.
After several minutes down there, we decided just to give up on the effort and head home. As we were coming up, bamm! There he was walking by, just at the right time. The one I really like. Apparently he and his boyfriend broke up, and although I felt bad for him, I couldnt help to feel some excitement for me. We hung out drinking all day, came back to my place, watched a few episodes of Zim, took a nap together, and ran into each other later Saturday night. We hung out all day Sunday as well, just geeking out and talking about Buffy and Zim. We also brought more of the geek side out of John Gizmo. Over all it was a great weekend and it was actually nice to get to know David more. Ive been wanting to do that for a while and I think if anything we will be good friends. Im not expecting more but can certainly hope.
