friends and foes

Okay, in the last 24 hours, i’ve had 4 requests from friends.  My friend John rang up, and we’ve been talking a fair bit lately because he’s been rather heartbroken.  He needs friends there for him and it’s difficult to hear the hurt in his voice.  Last time we spoke he sounded a lot better though.  His fiance Katie walked out on him and has been cheating on him with another guy.  It’s so strange because they were both actually in my house one day before all of this happened, and they were getting along great.  Katie was even pointing out her wedding dress to me – and all of a sudden she’s decided she can’t handle everything and walked out.  John’s changed the locks on his house and everything.  He requested if he could stay here this weekend, which Luke and I are happy to accept.  He just needs to get away from the place and Toowoomba I guess, and I’m gunna show him a good time, we are mature enough to be able to joke around about it now, although its only been just over a week, but John’s been handling everything extremely well, including the court case last Thursday, he even brought a Lawyer with him, which really surprised Katie.  Like I joke around that I told him women weren’t worth it (lol i’m joking of course to any girls reading this) and he jokes back that I woldn’t know cos i’m gay haha – you know stuff like that, he’s a great guy, we’ve become such close friends since high school, where we very rarely spoke to each other, but we’ve always got along well.  I told him I dunno what i’d say if katie tried to ring me, cos she considers me a friend as well.  I’d love to here her side of the story, but i’m laying it down to it being her depression that forced her out – John and I both reckon she’ll try and come back in a few months or so, but John said there’s no way in the world he’s letting her come back as it’s the second time she’s broken his heart.  He wants to go to sexpo on Sunday, so i asked Lukey if i could have permission to go with him, and Luke said that was cool.  I said he could come along but I don’t think he’d want to.  I don’t even like sexpo that much, it’s so straight-orientated but hey I think i’ve mentioned that.  It’s like 20 bucks entry this year, but as long as John enjoys it I’ll go along with him, I mean he made it fun last year.  So yeah he’s gunna stay a few nights here, i’ll jsut let him know we might have plans Saturday night.

That’s request 1, number 2 was me and Luke’s friend Lindsay (the guy who introduced me and Luke).  He’s one of the funniest guys I know, cracks me up laughing every time I see him.  He’s had a tough life though also.  He’s asked if he can stay over a few days this week.  Me and Lukey said that was cool, but obviously he cant stay here if John is staying here, so if Lindsay comes over today (which i htink he is) then he can stay til Saturday morning, or unless John wants to sleep in the loungeroom he can take longer here.  Yeah, he’s asked because he just needs to get away fromn his housemate, who seriously is the weirdest guy I know, and i don’t blame Lindsay for wanting to get away.  Lindsay thought he was normal when he moved in with him, but is now counting down the days til the lease runs out lol, poor guy.  I went over to visit him on Monday and freaked out cos only his housemate was home, so i was forced to talk to him for ages, then Lindsay came out of his room as he was asleep (or moreso, litening to our conversation laughing his head off at the idiocy of his housemate lol), he saw my glance of plea towards his direction and asked if i wanted to walk to the shops with him.  Thank goodness.  Now I’m not being mean, if you knew his housemate trust me you’d be relieved too lol.  He’s nice, just….quite strange.

3rd request was our friend Michael-Anthony.  he rang me up yesterday saying that his friend Mark has invited him AND ME to his boyfriend Rob’s birthday party this saturday night.  i asked Luke if he wanted to go, and he said he would, but i feel bad because John might still be here then, most probably will.  But we told Lindsay that we’ve got the party on Wednesday, now i’ve just gotta tell John! phew lol.  So yeah Mark and Rob are great guys.  They live in one of the highrises in Kangaroo point and are like a married gay couple, but they aren’t you know, like they act like they are married 🙂

4th request was another phone call yesterday from my friend Yuie.  Yuie is a great guy, one of the nicest coolest gay friends I have.  He’s from somewhere around Sri Lanka area I think as he is dark-skinned and he is so funny.  He used to go out with my friend Matt.  He helped us move by providing us with heapsa of boxes from his work at K-Mart, has been such a great help to us.  He rang up kind of upset, because his boyfriend Adam has been kicked out of his house, as he came out to his parents, and they didn’t accept it.  This happens so much and it is sooo sad 🙁 Can’t parents love their children through thick and thin!?  Oh it annoys me so much, so many loving relationships are destroyed over something so little, so miniture, so petty in this life.  Gay guys grow up struggling to discover why they are so different to their ‘normal’ friends, and when it’s discovered by or told to the one’s who are suppose to love them, they are kicked out on their ass.  I guess i was lucky, my parents really don’t like it, but if i was still living at home, i’d doubt they woulda kicked me out!  So yeah, the point is Adam has nowhere to live and Yuie was asking me if we knew anyone who was looking for a housemate.  So if anyone here knows ANYONE looking for a housemate (who doesnt have a problem with a gay guy) can you please let me know so I can tell Yuie?  Luke’s doing all he can to help Yuie and Adam out as well.

well i’ve gotta work 12-5 today, most probably be spent marking stuff down, so if you ever go shopping at woolies chermside, go on a tuesday afternoon to get all the cheap stuff 😛 hehe, hopefully i’ll be home in time to play tennis with Lukey before it gets dark, depending if lindsay is here or not 🙂  He might even come watch us play.  I tried practising my serving yesterday.  it’s not too bad actually, I’m jsut tryna work on serving out wide to the right, cos i’m not very good at it as yet!  Ah well, i’m sure i’ll get the hang of it with practice 🙂

love you all!!
