Missourified
I've been down in Missouri for the past week. And oh man...the experiences. There is a lot to catch up on... my visit to the Tiburon, my visit to Fuji-Ya, the farewell party...
I'll get to those reviews in time; when I have the time to contemplate my navel. So yeah... Missouri:
Big news! The speed limit on the interstate in Iowa has been raised to 70! Finally I can drive 80 m.p.h. and not have to look over my shoulder constantly.
So I decided to make a visit to Columbia to see Adam at Mizzou. All in all it was a nice trip. I got to see the campus, I ran into my cousin, we played some wiffleball, and I got to hear the word "faggot" used more in one day than I have heard in the entire year. Didn't see too many homos out and about on campus. Well, not like on the campus at Minnesota where I can just sit down in front of Coffman and run into at least one homo I know in less than 5 minutes on a good day.
Despite the lack of a gay presence on campus, I'm making a bet that I was staying with a homosexual (we'll call him T for short). Yes, he has a girlfriend. But here's why he's gay: (1) We had unusual eye contact when we first met (2) His girlfriend is a spaz, they've been dating a year, she's the first girl he's kissed and he's never had sex with her and they don't even sleep in the same bed (3) He's not bad looking, I'd even say he's attractive (4) He's in engineering, and I think I would have been in the same boat as he is if I had gone to Mizzou given the lack of visible homosexuality there and (5) He is from Cape Girardeau and really has never experienced an urban center i.e. Chicago or even Minneapolis.
Does he love his girlfriend? Yes. Is he sexually attracted to her? Hmmm...
Yes all of this is circumstantial so please dont' tell me I'm trying to out this guy, because I'm not. He is what he is, he is what he says he is, and he is what he believes himself to be. But then again...I call 'em like I see 'em.
While Adam went to a meeting for Campus Crusade for Christ I decied to check out the local mall. Yes, it's one story and anchored on one end by a Target. But they have all the stores that have become typical: Express, A&F, AE, Hollister, and so forth. The lack of coffee stores in this town really upset me. I had to go to the weirdiest coffee shop I've ever seen to get a latte because I was getting drowzy. This was a low class coffee shop folks. I guess it's representative of their level of reading capacity in this part of the state.
When I went into Abercrombie & Fitch I probably flirted the most out of the whole time I was there. There was a guy working there and we played the 'looking game' with each other for a while. I wonder what it must be like for him; he has to live out here in the middle of nowhere. Maybe he can get transferred somewhere gayer. I should have given him my number.
After the mall I went to SoCo Club to experience Mid-Missouri's biggest gay club. I went on a Thursday night, all by myself (Yikes!) I'll have to check out 18+ night on Friday some time when I'm back. And be sure to get there early because I had to wait because they reached max capacity.
The drag show itself was okay, worthy of something at the 90s. However...the clientele was just a little lesbionic. Like, it was almost 70% lesbians to gay men. And at that, the gay men were rather odd. Which is to be expected in small towns such as these. Another shocker was the amount of smoke in the building. It's nice to leave these cities to appreciate the clean air of the bars in Minneapolis.
And Happy Birthday Kristina! It's gonna be a rockin' time I know. Twenty-One is always a rockin' year.
