I guess there comes a time when things change. I also guess that the only thing constant in life is change. I have experienced a veritable cornucopia of changes since the last installment of my totally unfabulous life.
First off, I have moved. I no longer live with the guys. I have a very cute, sort of retro apartment down in the Montrose area of Houston, the gayborhood. I am within walking distance of all sorts of fun places. I have wanted to be urban for a while, and now I am. My apartment is not totally retro. I splurged and purchased a 60" HD TV. It is actually weird because I rarely watch television. I guess I will have to since I ordered every cable channel available.
I also picked up an extra job. I am now doing sound at The Concert Pub in Houston two nights a week (Tuesday and Wednesday). Extra money always comes in handy. Especially now when I am setting up my household during the holidays.
Speaking of my household, there is a new guy in my life. We will call him RC. He just recently graduated from Texas State with a degree in respiratory Therapy. He is looking for a job here and wants to work in The Texas Medical Center. He is my type: young, cute, Latin.
On some sad news, my friends, M & F have ended their 21 year relationship. It happened over the 3rd they had. It is one of those "gay" stories that starts out, "well, it's complicated..." It seems that F told M either the 3rd goes or he does. M chose the 3rd. This is where it gets complicated. F moved out and left M and the 3rd. However, M & F talked and they decided to try and work things out. However, over the weekend, things got totally out of hand and some things came out. Now, the 3rd, who F wanted gone, has moved out of the house with M and in with F and they are going to have a relationship. I told you it was complicated. Don't ask because I can't even begin to fathom how all of this came about. F will still be working for us. I just think it is going to be really weird. But, we'll see.
I can't really say when or where things got so crazy. I wish I could rewind everything and see where it all spun off course and into this weird other dimension. I think I have taken M & F splitting up harder than they have. It breaks my heart to see what happened with them. I wonder now if it is really possible to have a long-term relationship. I am still going to see if I can. I guess the best I can do is just live day to day.
