I was pissed off that a homoanxiety breakdown phone call is what woke me up and kept me up this morning, but I'll live--I may have to kill Jeff or his mom though. *smile*
This morning around 8:30am, the phone rang. Matt was up wandering around, so he picked it up. It was Jeff's mom and she wanted Matt to go wake him up so she could talk to him.
Jeff and I are in a Philosophy class, which means we don't ever have class until 1pm, so he was pretty well livid. His mother started beating around the bush, which was pissing him off because he just wanted to go back to sleep and then she popped the question:
"Are you gay?" I don't recall his response exactly, but the question itself arose because last night Jeff had sent his dad an e-mail saying that he and I were planning on living together after college and I assume they just recalled that I'm gay and made that cavernous leap from my being gay to Jeff being gay from that piece of news.
At one point Jeff said "I'm not even going to dignify that with a response." At the time I didn't know what he was responding to, but now that I do, I appreciate it. After he got off the phone (which is located in the room I share with Matt and Bob), I laughed so hard that THAT was why his mother had wanted to talk about with him so badly.
I explained that I thought perhaps they had missed that living with a homosexual has a spurious relationship to oneself's being homosexual and that ... I dunno ... having sex with people of the opposite sex has at least a relatively reliable negative statistical relationship with being gay.
At any rate, we laughed a lot and while Jeff, the punk, got to go back to sleep because he can sleep anytime he wants, I was up for the long-haul after that.
Just remember kids: unless you want to be gay, don't live with a homosexual after college!
