When the real me comes out of the closet

Last night was amazing, but let’s start from the beginning. A Lesbian friend of mine told me (on Monday) that she has an extra ticket to go watch the Spain vs Portugal game last night and wanted to know if I wanted to go with.

HELLLL YEAH!!!! To have the full experience we took the train (cape-metro-rail) to Cape Town. Since we had tickets to the game we did not need to pay for train tickets. Arriving at Cape Town station we were amazed by how much they have improved it. We decided

to do the fan walk to get into the spirit since we arrived at the station at 17:45 and the game was only starting at 20:30. It really got us into things. There were people playing drums and dancing and walking on stilts… It was amazing. Vuvuzelas were being blown everywhere including ours. We even made the newspapers: Here we are pic4!

Going into the first gates of the stadium one realises the ginormaty of the Green Point stadium. It really is quite beautiful. We went to the little fan park thingy where they have these huge balls you could write on. So we totally did (thank god I forgot the permanent marker from the lab in my pocket). Went into the stadium early to find our seats, which was actually quite easy to find. It was awesome seats. Second tear, middle row, just off to the right of the one goal post.

I sent out a image of where I am to a few people including 14 who I thought might be working that night. He is a volunteer for FIFA, doing some IT&T stuff. So I told him where I am sitting and he came to say hello. Also video called the parental unit to show them how the stadium looks from where I was sitting.

Just before the game I had to take a leak, so I followed the signs to where they say the boy’s playground is. It was one huge room walls on both my right and left were long urinals. And the wall joining the two were cubicles. The other wall were the stairs going up to the stadium again. I must say it is not easy for me to pee with approximately 20 people standing either side of you.

The game was amazing, the beers were really expensive though and totally American (Budweiser). But we enjoyed ourselves. There was a family sitting in front of us with 2 kids. A boy and a girl. The girl was probably about 6 or 7 the boy 7 or 8. The girl kept putting her fingers in her ears to block out the vuvuzelas, so I gave her my noise dimmers (we were probably making the most noise anyway, hehe). Afterward we went to the waterfront Spur had a meal and came home to Stellies. It was so much fun!

Earlier that day and again that evening (after the game) MrBig and I had a bit of a falling out. But all is okay again. I don’t like having fallouts with people, but I think it is a good way to learn where your relationship is and how the person reacts to conflict. MrBig handled himself well. Hope he feels the same way. I also understand why he was a bit edgy. He is moving to a new place and it is very stressful.

Another thing I have noted was that he gets a bit scared when I hang out with my gay friends. Now this sort of leads to a problem, because about 80-90% of my friends are gay. I understand why he feels threatened, he has been hurt in previous relationships, but I hope that he will soon realise that if I am with a guy, I am with only that guy. Only time will tell…

Like I said before, I took off last week from my lab work and visited the 2 of the 4 musketeers. Well I spent the weekend before that at MrBig’s from the Saturday. The week leading up to it I developed a cold sore. Not Cool!!! But I got some Fenivir and it started to fade and it looked like it would be gone by the Saturday, so I was calm. The Friday I went out with skinny and a few friends to a pizza place in Stellenbosch and later felt something on my lip, placing me in a state of panic! I had developed a second cold sore! The day before I see my man and go with him to Gat party (Gay Langarm). Well I just dosed the thing with acetone and Fenivir and tried to keep it away from MrBig, but there were no chance that we would be able to keep our lips apart. A nurce friend suggested we also use a lip balm called Lipsano. So I popped about 1000mg of Ascorbic Acid (VitC for those non biochemists) put on the Lipsano and we made out when ever we wanted to. To me that just showed me how much he liked me, by being willing to contract a STD from me. Hehe

Any who, he did not develop a cold sore, either he is immune or the combo of all the shit worked. We had a great time at gat party. Saw Semi-Sweet and his BF and a few of my other buddies. I loved dancing with MrBig, we made quite a team. I lead so he did not always know all my moves, but caught on quickly.

The next day we spent almost the whole day in bed, sleeping… mostly. The evening we went to the house of a couple that I am friends with. The one guy is probably the only guy on my blog I never gave a name to, so let’s call him Jock and his BF Jill. They made dinner and we talked a bit about the old and the new. I really enjoyed myself.

On Monday I had to come back to Stellenbosch to do a talk and stayed till Wednesday. Wednesday was also my labpartner, Labby’s Bday. So to celebrate, Skinny and I bought her Pucca Chai and on Tuesday went to watch some movies at her place and she made her famous nachos.

Wednesday was Mr.Metro’s day. My 2 Mossel Bay Lesbians lives with him, so I got to see them as well. Mr.Metro made delicious pasta and we played Xbox and drank wine, while chatting the night away.

Thursday I was off to DJ Tech and his fiancé. We played some Guitar Hero then went to the Tygervally and played tenpin bowling and ended the evening off with cocktails at Buena Vista social café at Tyger waterfront.

Vryday I had to come back to Stellenbosch again for a Departmental Soccer games day. After that I met a Lady Linux enthusiast, think I’ll call her LadyLinux for lunch at Simply Asia and after that I was off to MrBig to watch the soccer mach from his couch. Saturday evening we went to a friend of his’ 21st party. Again dancing like crazy. Even some of the straight guys asked us to dance. It was so much fun!

Sunday I met up with Hag2, to catch up on how she was doing. She is also planning a wedding so it was difficult enough just getting her to meet with me. But we chatted like we were back on the balcony of her varsity flat smoking a cigarette.

Then on Monday it all came crashing down. Not only did my computer break, but I also received fines (yes pleural) for speeding. These fines were from February when I was driving a rented car for the university to a conference. The fines amount up to R1200! I don’t have that amount of cash! So I wrote a letter, pleading for a lower amount. So this week did not start of well.

I also watched the idiot of a ref give Bafana Bafana’s Khune a red card for trying to kick a ball. OMG!!! Well I was with Mr.Metro at Quay Four at the V&A Waterfront so at least the vibe was awesome! Hope this did not bore you too much. Will have a hotties post soon.
