The other day I was perusing the webpage of one of my erstwhile acquaintances at Grove City College, and my mind began doing a compare and contrast between us. It was spurred, no doubt, by my Internet 'Ho who stimulated my brain as she has the annoying habit of doing and making me think what "type" of person I am.
So anyway, this old acquaintance of mine had recently begun writing a diary on his webpage giving a blow-by-blow of his tumultuous little life. Good readin' if you're into that kind of voyeurism. It was enough to give me a good view of his life up to date and allowed me to draw some creepy parallels and some reassuring conrasts.
The biggest difference is that immediately after he graduated from college, he got married, and then he decided he was gay and got divorced. For my own part, I have neither been married nor decided that I'm gay. He ran off to Indiana, then to Arizona and has declared himself a "dog shaman" and is tied into some kind of totem animal stuff. I'm still languishing in PA and the only totem pole that determines my destiny is in my pants.
His name is "Jaysen", but that's a pseudonym he picked after his coming out, so that doesn't count as a similarity.
Where we are similar is an unfortunate inability to form any extra-platonic ralationships of any stabilty. How it manifests is different, though. His love life has more ups and downs than the Rocky Mountains and he's constantly looking for that special guy. Mine is more like a flatline with a few embittering experiences that have made me want to give up on it entirely, even though my hormones won't allow that. Nevertheless, the core problem is the same. But then, don't the vast majority of people have the same problem? Probably, but that's just because they're stupid. He's a lot more introspective about it. Kinda like me. And, like me, all that introspection and self-analysis leads nowhere.
SO what "type" of person am I? A one-of-a-kind mondo cool type who is constantly abused by evil 'ho's and shall never score.
FIVE DAYS UNTIL YnoK!
