Hanging out with Loren

I spoke with Loren online today. He invited me over to hang out this evening when I get to Pullman. I am looking forward to that.

For lunch Julia, Lisa, Bin, and I went to the final Bin lunch. We went to Bin’s place of choice. It was okay. I am not a fan of the place we went because I am not a fan of Malaysian food, but I found something I was able to eat. During the lunch I talked to them about wanting to work from home more often.

Julia thinks that it is not something I will be able to do. They want the face time here. Lisa thinks there is no harm in trying for it. They all agreed that I should write up something and present it to Chris on Tuesday after the release is out.

I did not tell them that I have a job application in the pipeline at WSU as a backup. But it is important for me to spend more time there and to get back on the Pullman Fire Department.

After lunch we went back. I stayed at work until three o’clock before I hit the road. Because of the rain, heavy rain, falling it was slow going until the pass. Things started to let up and I was able to increase my speed. I pulled into Colfax around seven o’clock. I called Loren and he told me where he lived.

I drove to his house and knocked on the door. He answered it. I was imagining him looking a little bit different. From his pictures that I have seen. Not saying anything bad, but just a different person than what was in my imagination.

We started out talking about this and that, nothing really heavy or anything. Then the co-owner of Cougster came over. His name is Bruce. Loren cooked some homemade pizza for us. We ate and talked about the new Wal-Mart. Bruce is against it, I am for allowing them to come in. Politically Loren is right of center where Bruce is left of center.

After a while Bruce had to head out. Loren and I continued to talk about a lot of stuff. We spoke about the military. What his plans are. Computers was a topics. We spoke about Cougster. We also talked about some political issues including stuff dealing with the police and with the riot and the Top of China incident. Plus we talked about what is it like to be bisexual.

It was interesting to hear things from his perspective. He said bisexuals usually are the ugly step-child of the gay rights people. Gay people get down on Bi’s over the feeling that they are only saying they are Bi so they will not have to make the big plunge of admitting to being gay. Straight people just don’t like it when guys have action with guys.

I was over at his place until about three o’clock in the morning.
