Friends, Little League & Web Cams

Posted by vanashke001

How fabulous is it when you hear from someone you haven't heard from in ages? Pretty damn fab, especially if they be funny bitches!
How glorious to chat back and forth and reminisce about parties and drunken messes we have been at them. Hootie hoo!
I get a Live window poppin up and there is a friend I haven't seen in a while. It was like normal just the chat back and forth and then it got quite interesting when he turned on his video chat. Now, I don't know about some of you peeps, but this homo here does not do the small screen. You can only appreciate all of this when you view it in a darkened room on a BIG ASS screen. okay who we kidding, more like just the darkened room. But he loves the video chat, which he should cuz well, he looks good. ass. Hate him with me for a moment... okay that's enough.
So he throws on this damn camera and thankfully I do not have one on my desktop, so I didn't feel pressured to reciprocate. whew. And it was so funny talking with him because he would talk and I'd hear him through my speakers and see him on my screen but then I could only reply through typing. It was like he had to communicate with me with the a relay service for the deaf.
I knew a kid in Vegas who was deaf, superior kid, but I had to do the whole relay thing with him on the phone. That be some trippy shit. If you haven't done it- you have to tell the operator when you are finished and that's hard to remember to do. And if you've ever talked to my happy ass I pretty much never shut the fuck up. Well, anyhoo I digress. Back to video chat.
So he is chatting verbally and I am writing, so he is sitting there looking at the screen waiting for my reply. It was somewhat awkward but still fabulous since I hadn't heard from him in sooo long.
Then I decided to turn on my laptop and well, of course I had to return in kind with my webcam. I am sorry, no one should have to look at this and it was so awkward to see myself on this little screen. Fortunately or unfortunately, depends on your viewpoint, my microphone sounded jacked and it wasn't very cool on his end. (I also tried to blame my appearance on a bad camera, but since he has seen me before I don't know how effective that was. sigh.)
So I am chatting he is hearing me (sorta) and seeing me (sorry) and all is well but he and his boyfriend (yes it is true, I understand he is a gay- hide your kids) and they both start laughing at me cuz I lean towards the screen when I talk. I've decided I would so be a microphone grabber if I was ever on tv. what a downer.
Then they laughed cuz I am so addicted to watching the Little League World Series. You know it's a shame that I can't even mention that shit without someone assuming it is sexual.(which they didn't necessarily-it just seems to be a common reaction and I'm kinda venting now) gah! I'm gay not a pedo, but it is twisted that other gays (who I am sure are not pedos) automatically go that way. Do I give off a pedo vibe? Do I have a pedo smile, or 'stache? god it's horrible. they are chilluns ain't nothin there I want. the end. (mostly I think it is just common for people to give other people shit and let's face it, this is an easy one) But I can't help but watch cuz they are adorable when they play and you can't help but feel for them when they lose and cry and kick and scream. (ok, it's true I do like to see children cry- their tears sustain me- but oddly enough, I actually prefer it when these little guys are happy) Seeing their elation and jubilation is kind of heart-warming. or maybe I am lame. who cares.
I am sad now however, because Warner-Robins was in the semi-finals but they will not make it to the finals. They were defeated by the punks kids from Chula Vista.
So actually, there are a couple of degrees of separation here, my brother and I grew up for a few years in Chula Vista AND my brother and his family now live in Warner-Robins. How cool is that? I could actually have rooted for either team but for some reason I am not diggin the kids so much from CV, so I was rooting for WR. (They won the first year I watched as well) But alas... they were not successful, so now I shall switch allegiances to Texas, regardless of where I spent my first 4 years of school.
So that was my evening. working, chatting, video, and LLWS. My life could be much better but sometimes it's pretty much okay. Hands down the best part... reconnecting with two groovy fellows I've not seen or talked to in ages!
HI BOYS!
