peace of cake

I met Brian in college. T and I were driving by on our way to CVS and she noticed him walking in the weather. (not raining really, but it had been and was at the nasty point inbetween mist and rain where an umbrella is only useful to test puddle depth)

He was "gasp!" gay, or so said the rumors. Her suggestion that we offer him a ride scared the pink right out of my closeted gay self, but we ended up driving him back to his dorm.

T and I both came out officially after college. Hmmmm, maybe it IS contagious.

Seriously though, his courage to officially come out while still in school inspired me to start being more honest with myself and with the people I was closest to. Thanks Brian! (and thanks for sticking with me through the ups and downs since then...you are a true friend and I'm lucky to still have you in my life)

He's over in my blog links now as Peace of Cake. For those of you who know him, he's just as funny and thought provoking as ever, for everyone else...what are you waiting for? I mean, I know I'm fascinating and all, but this entry's finished now.

Yaaaaaay me!

Wow, is that really how we met? I have no memory of that. I thought we met through T (a different T). I remember we got to know each other through writing letters, which seems so quaint now. But I was very nervous writing you that first letter, since I didn't know you very well yet.

I love you too! But now I should probably go and put something on my blog...no pressure...

Ah...T2. Yes, she introduced us later on, but I'd been watching you from afar since that first car ride. See, stalkers CAN become friends!
