edmund white talked about gay mens realtionships being banyan trees, with roots popping out, from the same source, miles apart...i was reminded of that, and the diversity that surrounded the table when we took glenys out for dinner last night. (dinner at mt everest, nepalese--worth it, glenys bought)

9 people, could ahve easily been 12, people i have known for 2 months and people i have known for 7 years (sundar, rachel, raymond, glenys, danielle, sean, eileen, patrick.)

we talked about gossip, weirdness, anecdote, theory, history, politics, careers, food, art, sex, books, each other.

before christine and jd called me selfish, but around that table, talking and gossipping, and feeling so much love, i thot--i can be careless, and rough, and my life can be complicated by eris's certain fondness, but im not selfish. (christine and jd called me selfish b/c i called the housing insepctor on the place im living, after not being able to see the landlord, or get him to return my calls...35 violations, 5 structrual in the house, and the place has b/w 13 and 15 people living there, each person paying ca 400/mo. (400x13=5200) the landlord is claiming broke, and telling us that we will be evicted, how can he be broke at 5k a month)

after dinner, dominons (EGGNOG!:)!), spadina to dundas west to deliver glenys home, to gladstone and buying pat a beer, to galaxy donuts and there amazing double toasted cocanut (sp) to dufferin to the 29 home--where the door was off the bathroom and the place was lit like a vegas wedding chapel.

christine thinks im rich, btw.
