First lymphatic!
More eventful today... well, kinda. At least I felt better about it.
That coffee house act completely outed my web journal. Now people know about it and want to read it. Lots of people asking randomly throughout meals. That's ok, they'll probably get bored with it once the novelty wears off ;-)
I gave a lymphatic session before dinner, my first one out of class. It felt really off to me, not as smooth and flowing as in class. Oh well, two more to give tomorrow.
At dinner I identified at least one aspect to the tinge of lonely I've been feeling: queers. As in, there are none here. oK, there are three other gay guys here. Only one was at dinner. Mostly, I see straight people. And I love them. But I miss San Francisco and walking down Castro and being surrounded, engulfed, by it all. I miss my boyfriend. I miss my friends.
Came up with my third intention for the next set of essences: True Will. To know and be it in every moment. Thanks to Ste3ve for inspiring that one. We were talking about a website, specifically its poor craftsmanship... and he said, "Creating a website is no less an act of will than anything else." Reminded me of a Peter J. Carroll quote:
Our ancient Celtic ancestors said: "Never give a sword to a man who cannot dance".We might well add: "Never give a wand to anyone who cannot handle ordinary reality".
So, Truth, Joy, and Will. Where do I sign up?
Tonight I watched a movie with a few other folks. The Rescuers Down Under. Parts were cheesy, but overall it was fun. I remember watching the original Rescuers when I was little. I loved that movie. I had a Rescuers read-along book with narration on tape. God, I can't believe it came out 3 years before I was born. 11 years later made it a "Disney classic".

At a previous job, I was talking with a friend about a new, cute employee and I said, "oh, I hope he's gay." My friend laughed and asked why and I responded, "oh, I just think there should be more gay, more of the time. The gayer the better." My friend is straight, and seemed put off, but I stand by it! The gayer the better. I find that the more queer people are around, the safer and happier I feel.
I'm sure people in any minority feel the same way -- even if you're not being directly threatened by the dominant group, it just feels more comfortable if you're surrounded by other people like you.
But maybe I'm projecting, and this isn't even why you miss your queer community! Either way, I identify.
