I Think I’m a Lesbian, and Other Wacky Stories
18 03 2008Just as the title states, I think I maybe a lesbian, but I don’t like the fact that I will never again have a sexual use for my male genitalia. However, I can just be full of shit which is probably more likely.
For those of you horny guys who strolled in here, I’m so sorry to disappoint. I am a male and I do have a penis. And no, I’m in no way gay. I tried the whole let’s-see-if-I-could-write-gay-porn-reviews-for-$400-a-pop (no pun intended) life choice. I watched the porn, puked a little in my mouth and thought, shit, some guys would do pretty fucked up things for money because you know that not all guys willing to suck cock, fuck and be fucked by a guy are gay. Some of them are just as straight as you and me.
But to be a male lesbian is to be something completely opposite. You still have relationships with a female, but you just don’t use your penis to pleasure. Looks like you get the shit end of the stick, hu? I don’t advise any of you to try it, however, for those of you who proudly admit in most jockish voice, “Oh, I’m a lesbian, huh, i like to fuck girls…huh huh,” that’s what you’re proclaiming.
In all reality, I think it’s really not cool, so perhaps I’m not really a lesbian, just going through a lesbian stage so late in my life, because Geb knows that I’m not gay because, yeah, gay sex can be slightly uneasy - not that it’s bad and I prefer lesbians because I’m the almighty straight guy, but because it’s not for me - same thing for lesbian sex, by the way - and blah, I’ve lost my train of thought.
Change of subject. Today I did the unbelievable. I applied for shitty telemarketing job at Teleperformance. I did it to pass the time. I mean, I already pass the time at home, but I get paid for this. And the fact that my mother left me twenty dollars yesterday - injuring my pride - didn’t help my self-esteem for the blow that came next. (As I write this, it is still Monday, by the way.)
Besides, I think I’ve made the decision of going into the Peace Corps. I’ve contacted a recruiter. For those of you who are already thinking I went against your advice, I’m not running away from my problems. I’m not escaping Jyg. I’m not escaping at all. I want this for myself so I can figure out who I am, what I’m here for (non-godly of course, but I still believe people should have a purpose in life, and I can’t seem to find it on my own) and what I’m supposed to do. I love you all, but you know the Valley isn’t for me. I’ve outgrown it. Or perhaps, I didn’t grow at all. Actually, I think everyone around me has grown up but me.
It’s sort of like that clip from Clerks II, where Dante and Randal are driving back to work:
Dante Hicks: Why do the Go-Karts help?
Randal Graves: I don’t know, it just reminds me of a better time in my life.
Dante: Like when?
Randal : Like when we were young and the world was still in front of us.
Dante: We’re not that old.
Randal: I don’t know, man. Sometimes it feels like the world left us behind a long time ago.
Only, I don’t have a partner in the mix. I suppose that would have been the binx had he not grown up before me..
I love my friends. I love the old ones and the new ones and the ones I probably will never meet in the Valley. But you’ve all grown up.
We’ve gone from this (we were never really this stupid, though):
To this (also not really, but you know, I fucking love the Pumpkins, man):
I’m not sure if I’m making myself clear, or I’m just confusing you. I know what you’ll say, but I thought it over. It’s not about running away. It’s about finding my place. So if you don’t have words of encouragement, please just stay silent.




i never thought you were running away, even though i asked you if you were. if i were you, i’d be outta there so fast. I’m excited for you. i’m proud of you, too.
p.s. will you need a penpal? i think so.
Jenn,
I get the message already. I never wrote you back :P. I’ll get to it someday ;).
this is not me reminding you that you never wrote me back. this is me being supportive.
that was me being silly

and this is me glad to have you in my life…um…sorta.
I’m sure by now you know I feel just as “left behind” as you do, but for different reasons.
As for the Peace Corps, it really doesn’t even matter what your reasons are for making that decision so long as you’ve thought it through and are doing it for reasons that feel right for you. We have to ask if you’re running because we’re your friends, not because we think you are. That’s the difference between being blindly supportive and genuinely supportive. I recognize that you need something that you’re not getting out of everyday life, and if you think joining the Peace Corps and getting out and experiencing a new life will help you find that, then I say go for it.
