There’s a couple of pics of The Gay Guy himself at the homepage he lists on his profile. (Yes, I look at people’s homepages. I’m looking for ideas.) * * * “My mind reels with sarcastic replies!” - Snoopy ---

Dude, tracer is an even gayer-heterosexual than SkySlash! 😃 I had a friend who was a male ballet dancer, totally into musicals, and when I mentioned Abba, he exclaimed “ABBA Rocks!” I’ve always thought him to be a member of the boy’s club since then. ---

Hey Sky, you’re too young for me (I’m willing to give it a try ;), but I have a 19 year old daughter that I would love for you to meet. Don’t you want to move to North Carolina? 😃 Be yourself. If you do anything else, you’ll just start having major problems with other issues. Besides, we like you. PS: Do you give lesson? I’m not much on cooking or housekeeping and decorating makes me dizzy (Betty Crocker adn Martha Stuart don’t have to worry about me at all…nope, nope.) ---

Ah, but I have one bulwark of defense that your friend lacks. Namely, I like musicals for the music, **not for the dancing**. I’ve always avoided dancing – although I did discover I enjoyed dancing with women at this one dance-bar I found. (Said dance bar closed down in August 1998, though. _sigh_) The one time I tried ballroom dancing (it was Argentine tango), I was uptight the whole time trying to remember which steps happened after which others. Bleah. Oh, but I do watch figure skating during the Winter Olympics, though. (I even rooted for Tonya Harding in 1992 and 1994.) ---

This is me telling a mutual friend I thought the ballet dancer (and he’s in a special ballet school, he’s going pro, this isn’t a hobby we’re talking about…) was into people with Y chromosomes: SR: I think Adam’s gay. F: Well, it IS a possibility, but he dated Marci… SR: Overcompinsation. First of all, the dancing. F: Micael Barishnikov, quite hetero. SR: True. However, he knows more lyric to more show tunes than I do. And that’s SOMETHING. F: What about John? He has a very good memory, and also knows many lyrics to many musicals, he’s also straight. SR: Point. However, we were discussing music, and ABBA came up. Adam’s reaction was “ABBA ROCKS!” ## F: I have absolutely nothing to counter that with. You want to get him the rainbow bumper sticker, or should I? A little persistance goes a long way. Announcing: “I go on guilt trips a couple of time a year. Mom books them for me.” A custom made Wally .sig! ---
