Moments: #1 – Giving Away The Gay “Outting myself at work”

A conversation yesterday with a guy friend from work


Bryan: I can’t WAIT until March 20th

Vivy: Why? Oh let me guess. It’s the first day of spring….!

Bryan: Yup!

Vivy: Oh PLEASE!

Bryan: What?!

Vivy: That is so bogus! March 20th is such an arbitrary man made number. Who says that’s the first day of spring?!?!

Bryan: Ummm….JESUS!

Vivy: (cold stare)

Bryan: Ok maybe not. But still! It’s the first official day of Spring! It may not be warm outside but everyone knows that after March 20th it soon will be. That’s why everyone looks forward to it!

Vivy: Why do we always need to look ahead to when things WILL be good, why can’t we just enjoy the here and now. Why do we need to define the seasons at all?!?!

Bryan: We have to define the seasons…

Vivy: what?! WHY?!

Bryan: Dude! We HAVE To. What would the fashion industry do without defined seasons!?!?!

Bryan: What….are we gonna say “Oh look it’s the getting slightly cooler and the leaves are changing colors 2008 collection” Or let me guess “It’s the look the weather is becoming nice and temperate while the flowers are starting to grow 2008 collection”

Bryan: That’s RIDICULOUS!

Vivy: (silence)

Bryan: …........

Bryan: ....what?
