Silly ho

I just want everyone that is reading this to know that it is currently 1:13 a.m. on a Wednesday night and I am sitting in front of my computer listening to TLC's FANMAIL on Spotify. FUCKING THROWBACK Y'ALL! I totally owned this CD when I was 11 and before I hit puberty. Oh memories. Also, I can't believe my mom let me own that CD because they do in fact have a song on the album called, "Silly Ho." Good times!

Anyway moving on to the point of this post, sorry my mind tends to wander and get super ADD this late at night when I am sitting in front of my computer.

Wait....what was I saying? OH RIGHT the purpose of this post which probably isn't that entertaining anyway but I am writing about it anyway.

Last night I was doing my usual thing for waiting for the bus when this guy standing next to me pulls out his headphones, looks at me, points to Berlin and says, "Is that a gay club?" I just laugh and say, yes. He looked confused and kind of disgusted at the same time. He then said something along the lines of how it was weird because he would never see something like that in his country. Since I am a curious person I asked where he was from and I couldn't really understand him when he said the city but I did hear him say that it was somewhere in Eastern Asia.

At this point I just laughed and said this is nothing, it is only Tuesday on the weekends it gets crazy there. He looked confused and disgusted again. He asked me if there were any lesbian bars and I told him I didn't know but I am pretty sure most gay bars are also just lesbian bars. I pointed towards Halsted and told him how the whole street was filled with nothing but bars like that. He continued to look disgusted and I said there's nothing wrong with it and that gay people are no different than anyone else. I guess coming from a country where people aren't allowed to be open about how they are as people it would be kind of weird seeing a bunch of tall buff men parading around in glittery spandex leggings, crop-tops, fake eyelashes, and sporting cleavage that I could only wish for most days.

This guy then told me about a guy that comes into his work (who apparently is gay) and talks to him all the time and asks him to hang out. He asked for my advice and asked me what he should do. I guess the guy that asked him to hang out wouldn't stop asking him out even though he had said no. He then told me how this guy kept texting him. I asked him if he gave him his phone number and he said yes but hey I can't blame the guy I don't know how many times I have given my phone number to some dude just because I felt bad and didn't want to hurt their feelings even though I was totally not interested at all. Gee, I am such a great person.

Ahhh so the bus comes and we both get on and he asks me if he could sit next to me. Since I am such a great, nice, awesome, fantastic, amazing person I said yes and also I didn't want to be rude. He talked to me a little bit more. I learned that he worked at Phillys Best on Clark and Belmont AND the one in Evanston and that he moved here to study English. He is studying English at some school in Skokie. The conversation finally died and I didn't make any attempt to talk anymore because I was tired and I couldn't believe I even talked to him that much anyway. I didn't feel like he was a creep or anything either he just seemed like he wanted to talk to someone since he is obviously new to this country. Late night conversations with strangers are always the most interesting.

Oh yeah DON'T PULL OUT ON ME YET!
