nfotxn: (The United Church Made Me Gay)
Today, like many others, I returned from Weekend Summer Vacation Gay Fantasy Life to the cold hard metallic grind of Non-Gay Weekday Summer Work Life. Hot, sticky, boring and overall destable. You could form the humid air with a jelly mould around here. It was even a few degrees warmer in the temperature controlled archival vault.

To think that Sunday afternoon I was dancing to various gay music outside a Victorian plant conservatory at FFN2. That's the fetish fair formerly known as Folsom Fair North aka The Wellesley Station Parking Lot Leather Party. Now located at Allen Gardens the event certainly has grown. Sorta like pride for leathery gays. You've come a long way fetish fair formerly known as Folsom Fair North.

Craziest of all was the materialization of [livejournal.com profile] mattycub and [livejournal.com profile] zombietruckstop whom I forced my fierceness upon and received a tsunami of fierceness in return pretty much all weekend. For the record and of particular interest is the fact that Matty and I have been LGays since the beginning of this crazy blog thing just about. Matty came with more Real World Recommendations than any other blogger I've ever digitally frisked against the knowledge of friends in common. Crazy thing? It's all true... what the heck?! A pleasure to see the two of them. I'm also glad to have made amends.

I'm sad to have not hugged Matty goodbye however. Stoner moment plus public transit equals one cold, harsh modern reality where efficiency rules and emotions get to suck it.

Also present, beautiful and wonderful were [livejournal.com profile] 2fruition and [livejournal.com profile] jeffbriggs whose awesomeness I do neglect to mention in this particular public forum. Although their praises are anything but foreign to the tongues of Torontonians and men and women everywhere really.

See here's the thing... posts like this make me a bit uncomfortable. But at the same time it's sort of a protocol acknowledging to your blog girlfriends near and far that you really DID enjoy hanging out with them. Sorta like thank you notes from weddings albeit, hopefully, a tad more sincere.

For instance regularly I would not mention one of the highlights of the weekend. Sunday morning sharing a pot of creamed earl grey tea with my host [livejournal.com profile] thickslab. Because between him and I these sorts of sublime moments of friendship are usually a given. Something shared that him and I can acknowledge to each other and hold as a pleasant memory. That is until they're forced out by more immediate and useful knowledge like grocery lists or strange observed behaviour on crowded city streets.

But I'm deflecting focus from the over-arcing theme to consider. It's a boring medium question so if you were here from the name drops you can just tune out now. Is it insincere to thank people publicly? It's a matter of intention I suppose and I intend sincerity.
