FFJ in Adventures in paradise

Well, I don’t have HIV, nor do I have Syphilis. I was tested for both this afternoon, so at least I have peace-of-mind for that for another six months.
I was honest with the guy about why I was there. They were very friendly and non-evasive, which is a lot different from the sexual health clinic I usually go to where they ask a bazillion questions and everything from how many sexual partners you’ve had in the last 3, 6 and 12 months to the name of your firstborn child.

I went to the movies afterward with Vish, James, Rick and Mitch, on a gay ‘ol outing. We went and saw ‘Florence Foster Jenkins’. I thought it was a great movie. We all did except for Mitch, who claimed there was only one good part in it lol. I even started crying in one part of it.
I said to the boys as we walked out of the cinema, “Meryl doesn’t choose bad roles,” and they tended to agree with me.

Afterward, Vish wanted dinner so we went to Mojo’s, which seems to be becoming more of a regular hangout these days due to the really attractive Italian and Hungarian waiters they have working there.
I wasn’t really that hungry, but I ordered the chicken schnitzel anyway. I’d forgotten how huge their serving sizes are, and when my meal was brought out, the chicken pretty much covered and went over each side of the plate, it was that huge. I have no idea how I finished it all.

It was good to see the boys. Even Mitch seemed rather okay to me this time. Usually I get the impression he doesn’t like or care for me much, and that’s fine because in reality, we barely even know each other. We’re not Facebook friends and only ever hang out as part of Vish’s group of friends. I had invited Angelo too, but he couldn’t make it unfortunately, and he sent me a text telling us to have fun without him.
So it was a rather good night.
I had a bit of fun handing out condoms to the boys, since the guy at the clinic who tested me gave me a whole bunch of them. When he came back in the room with like 20 of them, I was thinking, “Geez, how much sex do you think I’m having?”
Vish was swiping through photos of Mitch’s phone, and as he was on my side of the table, I could see too, so I joked, “Wow, eight swipes of a gay man’s phone and no dick-pic yet?”
Vish remarked that’s because it was on Facebook, and then Mitch took his phone back from Vish and showed his phone screen to me, “You mean this?” (It was a photo of a giant penis) LOL.
As we were walking back to Vish and Jame’s new apartment (which is beautiful btw), Mitch said that he wasn’t having enough sex. That surprised me. I questioned, “All those dick pics on your phone and no sex?” I think it more surprised me because of how good looking Mitch is, and I thought he’d be getting it every which way to Sunday, but hey.

The cough has still been horrible. I don’t think walking home last night did me any favours, although it’s not like the weather’s cold or anything, so I just don’t get it. It hasn’t left me all day. I was trying to suppress it during the movie, but lucky I had predicted it happening and had swapped seats with Rick before the movie started, so that I was sitting on the end, and could therefore cough away from everyone toward the spare seat next to me.
Then all through dinner, ^hack-hack-hack^. It’s been all my life is lately. I’m absolutely amazed that I have yet to gain a sore throat. But every time I think that, I think I’ve jinxed myself and that I’ll get one lol.

It was nice to hang out with some friends tonight and have a few laughs, despite me being the clearly not-well-yet one.

Rick was kind and offered me a lift home tonight. I was thankful. I almost forgot to take my condoms out of his car as I got out. That could have made for an interesting conversation with his boyfriend.
