The Mostly Unfabulous Social Life of Ethan Green

ODD MAN IN

So a year ago I get invited to this brunch. Its the Queen Mother's Birthday, or Solstice, some holiday they never celebrated on Grant street.

The next week I call him at

work. He says why don't I

have dinner with him and Carlos. That Carlos is cooking molé, which can be kind of heavy but come anyway.

•

I don't really know anyone there,, except the hosts and they're busy keeping the guests in Mimosas. This guy comes onto me pretty strong. He's hot and I'm horny and lonely so I ask him if he wants to leave.

wwww

We smoke pot again, and Carlos is charming and funny.

They're both charming and funny. And I stay the night and I am dead on my feet the next day at the hospital.

Its sunnj at my place and there's a nice cross breeze and we have sex and lay there smoking a joint, and he tells me his lover is in Texas for the week.

I'm in the 2nd year of my residency. Maybe next year I'll have time for a "normal" relationship. Y'know, the hind where you go out with one guy. And fall in love, and move in together and buy a Jack Russel terrier...

OH SHIT, MAYBE THIS ISN'T A BONE

by Eric Orner

I should've been pissed but I'm not even surprised. This guy's too unguarded to be single. And I could've asked...

Last week they both went to Texas. One of Carlos' cousins is getting married. I wasn't invited.
