- So here I am in London, England, the gay capital of Europe,
- it is claimed. And what do I find, but that the college at
- which I am a student is 80% male. Now, before all you men
- out there mail me about how jealous this makes you, hear
- this: this place is the most straight-laced, hetty academic
- institute I've ever encountered. There are maybe three
- queens I know of, and I've spotted a couple of definite - or
- at least HLP - women. (HLP = High Lesbian Potential, for those
- who haven't heard it before.)
- But here's the really frustrating bit: there is a guy
- in the same department as me. He lives in the same residential
- area as me. He is gorgeous beyond the dreams of Eros (to my
- admittedly biased eyes). I have discovered his name. I know
- what course he is doing. I'm working on getting the exact
- address. He _seems_ to notice me in a similar way that I notice
- him (although I haven't heard his heart beating loudly when he
- passes me - I'm sure he _must_ hace heard mine :-)
- I think I want to scream! Even now, I can see him in the adjacent
- lab. He is just through a window from me. He is facing me.
- AAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!
