See, I'd say you're right, that relationships are scary but mine either die on me or turn straight. Hope you're weekend is going okay for you.

Oh and Taylor Swift has my heart.

Jay,

If you do not find that frightening, then you are a far bolder man than I.

For the record, the weekend was a ringing endorsement for hermitage. The man I was attempting to buy a drink for recognized me and submitted me to a lecture on coming out as a mutant first and a gay man second. Remind me again why I am trying to date within my own age group?

The week so far has been worse than the weekend; I have decided to spend Spring Break on a rock in the middle of the Atlantic as an improvement. At least there is the promise of good whiskey in Scotland, if nothing else.

I won't say it don't do a little bit of damage everytime, taintin the waters. First one died, second one I hit on beat me up, third one cheated (turned straight), fourth one did the same - turned straight (and has powers that can kill me), next one's a bad closet case (telling himself he's straight) and then.... yeah. Maybe I should just stop huh?

You ain't giving me any hopes here for being thirty anytime soon. They're hard at twenty and harder at thirty. I thought it was suppose to get easier cause you know what you want?

Maybe you should come on to the Guthrie farm and have some good ol' pie sometime. We're all strange so, yanno, you should feel right at home. I think mama would flip her shit if Jean-Paul Beaubier walked through her door.

Sorry about your week. Mine wasn't a whole lot better. Should be spending more time inthe greenhouse, trying to save some plant life.

"Next one"? You have your sights set already?

You learn less what you want and more what you cannot tolerate as time goes on. If you are lucky, you can narrow down the criteria enough to find someone who drives you crazy in the good ways. But if makes you feel better, I will be forty in a year. I leave thirty to you. May it do better by you.

Thank you for the invitation, but I do not think I will be fit company any time soon. Perhaps during the summer? I have never been south of the Mason Dixon.

No, there ain't no 'next one'. I just got finished with telling the last one we just need to be friends, so yeah, that didn't go so well. He ain't talking to me now. Should be no surprise there but it ain't. Hurt the first time, hurts the second time. Maybe third time's a charm?

Maybe we should just join 'em all and be straight huh?

Forty. Yow. Not to make you feel old here but I thought you were thirty, not forty. Can't process those numbers from here. Makes my brain go mush. ;)

Yeah I didn't mean right now. Later whenever you wanna a little bit of crazy cause you've had enough of your own. Guthrie clan is big.

I do not think that the heterosexual have it any different in the relationship department, only more opportunities to fuck up and different ways to come to it pre-fucked up. Switching over only changes the outside opinion. I suppose that can be tempting for some.

Yes, I know. I am ancient. Maybe I should go find an ice floe and set myself adrift. I'm not far off from where that's a possibility.

Excuse me, Jay, but I am not feeling well. I will be in touch later.

I thought that was the trend, switching over to being gay and then saying you're not?

I put my foot in my mouth, didn't I?

Sorry, tired and was getting bitter last night. ... Sorry. I shouldn't of said that about your age. I was trying to give you a compliment. Reading it in the morning, sounds more like an insult.

I am not offended, Jay. I do not have a monopoly on mocking my age and if I were in a better mood, I would have tried for a lighter tone last night. Do not worry about it.

I have to go now; I won't make it to Muir before sundown if I don't.

All right. I'm still sorry.

Safe travels then. I reckon the weather's good for it.
