fall recruitment event
Saturday night I went to a party on the Hill of an old friend who was giving a going away celebration for his tenant. The landlord was a late-forties gay man, and his tenant was a twink. So the party consisted of late-30s homeowners and then twinks. Needless to say neither crowd was mixing all that much, sadly.
Stayed up too late playing Civ, only to get up some hours later to go work out with Gargantua Ron. Another big tough workout with the beast-boy, but it was good to spend a few hours together. He'll be away and busy most of this week and weekend.
Last night we played D&D, and I failed yet again to kill any of the characters. I'm a washed-up DM. I ate about 10,000 calories of Rob's chocolate-chip cookies, however.
I'm still a little ticked off about something that happened last Thursday at the after-practice social with the rugby team. I was trying to talk to this hot new guy who is just droolalicious. I'm still a free man, free to talk to whom I choose. However, one straight guy from the team thought he would 'protect' this new [gay] guy and effectively, deliberately cockblocked me. In addition, another teammate introduced me to this new guy as the "team welcome wagon" with all its implications. This pisses me off, because I do not make it a regular practice to date or mess around with teammates, nor am I anywhere near the intra-team tricking levels of some of my teammates. But, because this [married, mind you] teammate was also hot for this new player, he felt the need to also cockblock me. Normally, I find him to be a nice guy, but cutting down my rep was just nasty. And those of us with a rep don't take that sort of thing lightly. I'm also kind of sad that the straight guy thinks I'm a predacious newbie molester. Not only are we all adults, but I'd wish he'd give me the benefit of a doubt, especially since I spent the last year being a very good boy with my teammates. So easy to get financial credit, so hard to get it anywhere else...I guess I need to talk to these teammates about how I feel.
Now I don't want to give anyone a bad idea of our intra-team drama, as it's been greatly reduced in the four years since I've been on the team. In fact, our Fall Season Kickoff is this Thursday at Titan from 6:30 to 9:30pm. Ooh, lookie, here's the Tard and some other teammates from last year's event in the Blade!
FYI: due to tonsil removal, I can no longer purr like Eartha Kitt. However, I now seem to be immune to Brain Freeze from the likes of shakes and Slurpees. I tried to make Chewbacca noises last night, and now my throat hurts. We're not ready for that yet.

In the pic is Mike the straight guy on the left, Corey ('Tard) in the middle, and Mike Madison on the right.

Bitches. [Though I have to admit slight confusion over the whole straight guy-cockblocking thing.]

Yo! Fuck those babies man. Cockblocking your pals for fun....that's all fine and good, but they were wrong. You should have just laid him out right there...everyone loves a guy that can throw a good punch!
Fuck talking to them...take it out on them in practice. I say, somewhere in the knee area. *grin*

That was not cool, to assume something and to say that to the new player about you by a fellow teammate. You showed more restraint that I would have in that situation. I would have gone Godzilla on the dude.
And yes Rob does make very yummy cookies, MMMMMMMMMM COOKIES

couldn't you find a more recent photo to give to the blade? I know you have some pictures of people who are actually members...
