-Character, 1997 motion-picture
Twenty-five years ago today:
June 30, 1986
Monday
It’s “bye-bye” day for Johnny. We parted ways and I’m sure the weekend wasn’t as “sexciting” as he may have expected. I just wasn’t ‘into’ him. We parted on this morning. I drove off to work after dropping off the videotapes at MAGIC VIDEO.
When I reached the parking lot in San Francisco the (QBL) questionable construction worker was there again. He was on a tractor this time, shoveling dirt.
I need to tell Mark about my bisexuality…soon enough. He called me on Friday and I could feel the “vibes” of ‘I’m calling you because I like you’. Sure, he mentioned Cindy had been calling him and had come by his house to see him.
“She asked to spend the night…so I let her,” said Mark.
It’s going to be time to tell him.
Johnny couldn’t choose just ‘one’ of my photos to take with him. He wanted copies of them all. Give me a break!
I’m growing facial nubs like Mark Landreth has started to do.
I’ll freak Ron Leoni out if I do choose to drive down South this weekend. There just aren’t enough weekends to fill the gaps of what I want to do. I want to tour mom around San Francisco. I want to bicycle. I want to take my niece, Ashley, to the zoo with Margaret and her son, Lance. I want to go to Sacramento to visit my coworker, Judy (and possibly try out the canoeing). I want to go to Santa Cruz.
I am feeling horny this AM. It’s been since Saturday morning. Yikes.
I wouldn’t say the day was successful—but it was an okay day.
I telephoned Mark Landreth at his work number.
When I recognized his voice I asked, “Is Mr. Abdominals of 1990 there?”
Of course he replied, “Yes,” clearing his throat, “This is he.”
We discussed going to Santa Cruz on Saturday, July 12th. We may also do an extensive bike ride on July 13th.
I telephoned mom and urged her to schedule a doctor appointment because of a little bump on her shoulder that she was complaining about.
She had previously said, “I did, I made the appointment.”
She lied, so I got pissed and hung up on her.
I haven’t spoken to Ron. I need to tell him to get our tickets for the New York trip in August. He’ll be pleased. I miss him. He’s so much fun. I get good ‘vibes’ from knowing him. I feel progressive ‘vibes’. After all, we’re both Gemini’s and he’s born the same day as my brother, John.
John, Sherri and Ashley left for DISNEYLAND this morning. Ashley will love it.
I met Cathy Boldacchi while walking in to work today. I saw her again as I was leaving.
Cathy said, “You look good in a beard.”
I like her. Too bad she’s married.
After work I did go bicycling and then hit the gym. I received two messages from Johnny Schaefer.
Johnny said, “I just wanted to tell you that I made it to Porterville okay.”
Mom also called me to invite me over to her house to eat. I didn’t go because I was still pissed at her for not going to the doctor.
When I was at the gym Mark and his brother, Phil, showed up. Phil just got a job at AB METALS. Phil was all excited about it.
To my amazement I thought I saw Chad at the gym but it wasn’t him after all. Then, to my amazement I did see Steve Green! He had a new Sci-Fi book in hand.
Steve said, “I’m going to LA this weekend with George Jones, Ric and Doug.”
After some fact-finding I learned that Ric is, of course, Steve’s roommate and Doug is George’s current roommate; however, George used to room with both Ric and Doug. I didn’t even bother mentioning to Steve that I may be going to Palm Springs. Steve was polite enough. It was almost as if we’d just met for the first time again.
I hinted, “We ought to go on a bike ride outing together.”
I guess that was a direct hint. She nodded.
“I’m bored. I’m not working,” Janette announced.
“You should write.”
She looked at me funny.
She added, “I’m leaving for Hawaii on Friday though.”
“Lucky wench,” I thought silently.
She’s cute. Mark was raising his eyebrows at me from the distance as I was speaking to her.
Mark and Steve did the 8:30PM aerobics class. I didn’t go. Instead, I worked out a bit more and rapped with Dave Trapp and Phil (Mark’s kid brother).
While Dave was in the locker room with me he said, “You ought to start yourself out on a program of free weights.”
“I just may do that.”
I appreciated his advice. I just may do it. Dave’s a cool guy.
I decided I was contradicting my own logic (Enjoy Life While You Have Life). So, I decided to go and see mom at her house after all. She would enjoy seeing me as I would her. I decided I would not hold a grudge because she didn’t call the doctor. We watched PEE WEE HERMAN together. It was funny. We cracked-up over his silly antics. PEE WEE makes me laugh. I ate dinner at mom’s house, too. I left at 10:10PM.
I showered; JO’d and went to bed.
Oh yes, Tim O’Brien called me. He’s planning on a trip to Palm Springs tomorrow.
Tim insisted, “Just call me and we can possibly meet with some of my friends down there.”
“We’ll see,” I said, using the common line that my cousin, Mandy, uses. That is her line.
"Being different made me stronger."
