But ... but what about all the Catholic soup kitchens in DC???

I guess they won't be serving the gay homeless...

I will say this to any of you, if you ever need a place to crash here in Indiana you are more then welcome to stay with me. Muncie is 40 mins north of Indianapolis.

Well Jodi, in a couple of year I could be the one knocking on your door...

By the way, what was the name of the Marvel comic in which Jon got the "special thanks" ?

Jodi, that's really generous of you. But you have nothing to worry about, that trip is still like 2 years ahead.

I think this is a good opportunity to buy a What If issue. It's been a while since I bought one of those. I like the What If Secret Invasion cover, that could be the one.

This was finals week. And John asked me if we could study together. I hadn't really talked to him since October. But I decided to meet him yesterday.

We didn't really study, we talked about a bunch of random stuff and we even made impressions of our teacher, I was in a good mood and John, as usual, was in a very good mood. We sat in the middle of the garden next to our faculty. It was a bit cold and I let John borrow my sweather . He said thank you and then he sat really close to me. I remember that for those 3 hours I sort of broke one of my rules, I kept touching his arms or shoulder for no real reason, sort of like playing. And then, John asked me to help him to take off my sweather , which was a bit weird. And then he asked "do you think they (our classmates) think we are together". I don't think so, was my reply. When I said goodbye to him I gave him a big hug, my excuse was "I won't see you until you get back from Brazil in January", and he embraced me quite firmly, and that made me feel really good. And that was it, I still don't know if I'll see him again, but I think I needed a goodbye moment like this, and it was a wonderful afternoon, we had good laughs and a good conversation.

That's a great story Arc, and very sweet way to say goodbye to him until January...

A month ago I thought it would be better to stop seeing him, since I still have feelings for him. But I guess now I can deal with just being his friend.
