Drinks with the boyfriend
Derrick and I had talked about going to see the Civilians, but I forgot to buy tickets. He told me he was fried and just wanted to have some drinks. It was a school night, I was exhausted, and I didn’t really feel like going out.
Boyfriends can be quite persuasive. Sexy, even. Damn them all.
I fell asleep on the couch, but awoke in time to realize I was going to be late. Bollocks. I shove some cold pizza down my throat, throw my fave sweatshirt on over a tshirt, and tap my foot while my dog pees. I’m going to a gay bar, but I’m meeting the boyf. He likes me scruffy, stubbly, and musky. For some reason he’s impressed with me whatever I look like, and I just go with it. The rest of the gay bar can just deal with the grungy me.
I arrive early (for me) and as I enter, I bump into Luis and Frank having an affair. They’re together at the bar, not a trace of guilt. The whores!
Oh, wait. They’re grinning. No guilt. Hmmm.
Another birthday party? Cake twice in one day? Thank you Ron, thank you Patrick, thank you Derrick. I was still exhausted, but I was surrounded by friends. They are sweeter and richer than any cake.
The SUV can run me down tomorrow. As I tumble under the wheels, between searing moments of pain, I’ll think what a great life I have. Great friends, great life, great cake.

Glad you could make it to your own surprise cake-n-drinkup, sleep be damned. Oh, and blame it all on Ron; he was the one who spilled the beans. He's looking out for you and sending a whole lotta lovin your way, that Ron. And we can all see why.
Happy birthday, G.
