Rain
Woke up this morning with
a terrific urge to lie in bed all day
and read. Fought against it for a minute.
Then looked out the window at the rain.
And gave over. Put myself entirely
in the keep of this rainy morning.
Would I live my life over again?
Make the same unforgivable mistakes?
Yes, given half a chance. Yes.

Re: gays in Boston– Jamaica Plain is super gay! The gayest of the gay! My girlfriend just moved there and it’s all gay all the time. Gaytopia! Have I said “gay” enough? Machine and Queeraoke are good bets, but 21+. Fake ID, huzzah!
oh yeah! i forget about JP because going that far down the orange line is wayyyyyy too much effort for me but yes, it is gayer than rosie scissoring with ryan seacrest.

how do you go from friends who are kinda pretty flirty to friends who are ladyfriends, ie: kissing and sex and talking all night and personalized mix tapes and picking out future names for cats, even if you don’t like them?
There you see her
Sitting there across the way
She’s got a lot to say
And there’s something about her
And you don’t know why
But you’re dying to try
You wanna kiss the girl
Yes, you want her
Look at her, you know you do
It’s possible she wants you, too
There is one way to ask her
It don’t take a word
Not a single word
Go on and kiss the girl
Sing with me now
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
My, oh, my
Look at the girl too shy
She ain’t onna kiss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Ain’t that sad
Ain’t it shame, too bad
You gonna miss the girl
Now’s your moment
Floating in a blue lagoon
Girl, you better do it soon
No time will be better
She won’t say a word
And she won’t say a word
Until you kiss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Don’t be scared
You got the mood prepared
Go on and kiss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Don’t stop now
Don’t try to hide it how
You wanna kiss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Float along
Listen to the song
The song say kiss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Music play
Do what the music say
You wanna kiss the girl
You’ve got to kiss the girl
Why don’t you kiss the girl
You gotta kiss the girl
Go on and kiss the girl
Gay marriage, civil union, domestic partnership: when does this annoying process end and when do the bachelorette parties begin?! Am I right?! No, really, am I? Well, believe it or not, there is a…
is Boston a gay city?
I AM ONLY 19! MY GIRLFRIEND IS 21! WHERE CAN WE GO CLUBBING TOGETHER IN BOSTON THAT IS LESBIAN FRIENDLY?!
are there gay girls in Brookline?
—–
you guys! i am answering all these together because the answers are basically the same: i don’t really know? or the answer i guess is that your guess is as good as mine.
i mean, boston is a gay city in that there are some gay people who live here, although probably not as many as the castro or park slope or west hollywood. cambridge, south end and back bay are kinda gay. southie and BC area and, like, the financial district, less so. i don’t know what to tell you. if you click your heels three times maybe you’ll find that what you were looking for was in your backyard all along.
as far as brookline: i really cannot tell you the gay girls per capita of like a five square mile section of the greater boston metro area. one of my queer ladyfriends lives in allston, that’s like a few t stops away?
and you, all-caps anon: i am not really the person to ask about bars! i know pearl/pure/whatever friday nights are 21+, as is machine and guerilla queer bar. the middle east is 18+, albeit not gay. i recommend either getting a fake ID or staying in with a bottle of wine to watch grey gardens.
SORRY I’M NOT COOL AND DON’T KNOW ABOUT GAY THINGS IN BOSTON. love that dirty water, etc.
DEAR AUTOSTRADDLE EVERYWHERE I GO THERE ARE GIRLS AND I WANT TO PUT MY FACE IN THEIR BOOBS. WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO GO ABOUT THIS. HELP?
I think get really close to the girl who’s boobs you want to put your face in, because it’s hard to put your face there from far away you might end up running into a tree or something
the calendr girls on the main page are still jan/feb
when i woke up the sky was blue, but now it’s dark
