Just stuff I don't want to put in my regular journal...
I didn't want to put this in my journal and just wrote it to my friends in the US and Spain. I forgot I could post it here.
"The thing you probably want to hear about is about me hitting on a fellow Cyber tron PH guy and finding out he wasn't gay and us having having a talk about it.
Started out at a meeting with Cybertron at Shang concerning the Con. I was seated beside him and his leg brushed up against mine and stayed there. A normal guy would just shift and move the leg away but his leg was touching mine for a looong time (or maybe about less than 10 min) so I wondered about it. There were jokes/rumors about the guy being gay but it was because he broke up with his wife (I think) or just usual macho guy talk, putting him down. Because of that, I decided to try and sorta check. He
was a friendly guy so when arranging the toys for the con, he asked for my help and I kept trying to touch him to see if there was any reaction. Made stupid hints like 'do you like the top shelf or the bottom shelf', 'yeah, I agree, this cabinet door sucks' etc. Kept trying to be hands on with him when I saw him. On the second day of the con, he made two gay related jokes. My camera was in my pants in costume and I asked him to take it out to shoot us for the group pics. He said stuff like 'this is so wrong', 'We shouldn't be doing this, Brawn'. The other one was asking me and the Bumblebee guy to hold hands for a joke pic. Hmm...
After the con, we were eating dinner. He was opposite me and I was wondering if I should try touching his leg under the table. He mentioned he had a girlfriend though so it's good I decided not to try it. But the day was ending and I sorta wanted to know already if he was or wasn't. So I foolishly did something rash instead of asking or feeling it out some more. I helped him put a costume in his car and I went by the drivers seat. I told him first that his zipper was open (actually, it was) then I put my hand on his thigh and asked: "Does this bother you?" he said no then he drove off.
I thought, while fixing up my toys, that he WAS gay but a few min later, I got a cell call from him (the guy called another guy's cell and he gave it to me). He asked what was up with me putting my hand on his leg. He said it was weird. I made a mistake and told him a quick thing about his leg touching mine during the conference and said I'll call him later after he goes home and I finish packing. I texted him after saying 'sorry I made a mistake, talk to you later etc'. His reply text was "It was just really weird and caught me off guard. I don't like those kind of things and I'm asking you not to do that again, man.' Ouch. I replied 'don't worry, I won't, sorry dude.' Later after I got home, I texted him if I could call or shall we never speak of it to anyone ever again? He replied 'I think I pretty much said my piece. Although I don't know why you did that. I just want to make it clear that I didn't like it and it was something you shouldn't have done. Dude, I be frank here but is there something about you we should know about?' So I called him and we talked a bit.
He said stuff like he was 100% heterosexual, he had gay friends but what I did was wrong and I explained the leg thing (he didn't feel that at all) and the two jokes (it was just to tease you). He asked how long have I known and I said college and he said 'good job of hiding it' which was cool. Said if I wasn't a friend, he would have punched me. Asked if others should know and I said that it doesn't have anything to do with Transformers, so no. I said I haven't hit on anyone else in the group except him. He didn't sound mad but he still did say the 'punch' thing. Now at least he knows and he knows how to treat me the next time we meet (though that's a bad thing since I'd rather it be back to normal since I'm not different from anyone else and I won't act any different from before).
Anyway, that's it. He's not gay and I shouldn't have tried that forward thing to do. I really should have tried to feel it out. Makes me weird about my plan to tell Ryan that I have a man-crush on him but oh well."
Oh and I gave the missing Nightwatcher chain weapon to Ryan at Toycon day 1.
