Dreamt that I was flying to Sydney on Qantas, only there was a mix up in the booking and when I got to Kingsford Smith International I got transferred to a regional airport which didn't actually have a landing strip so I had to take a bus. They didn't let me get out at SYD, even though that is where I needed to go. When I got to hicksville, a gay bar tender was hitting on me, to which I responded that I was flattered but not interested.

Qantas was probably on my mind because of the recent lock out and government intervention, or maybe because they just signed up with NetCon as a customer. The last time a gay man was interested in me in that way though was way back in college when creepy Clint and and creepy Trina followed Guthrie, Tyler and myself around, apparently because they lacked anything better to do in their directionless lives. Trina was engaged to an unseen character who by all accounts was the punch first and ask question later type. She had the unrequited hots for Tyler who was at the time already spoken for, but even if he wasn't probably not interested. Clint and Trina initially took a dislike to me, but one day Trina called me up pretending to be Clint to play a trick on me, but she got to know me better in the course of the call and decided that I was not a bad person. I retrospect the whole calling me up pretending to be someone else thing should have been a red flag, but instead I told her not to do it again and forgave her. I was the unwanted fifth wheel in a love triangle mostly between Guthrie and Ellen and my sad tale of woe somehow endeared myself to Clint in particular. He decided that not only was I gay, but my friendship with Guthrie had homosexual overtones. I've always been comfortable with my sexuality, so you can make up your own mind. In short, Clint and Trina are the sort of train wreck that really ought to be avoided by anyone with any sense. Tyler recognized this almost immediately. I was sort of neutral on the two of them, being obsessed with my own drama hinted at by the whole Guthrie and Ellen situation. Guthrie though, he was the one who let them into our lives. That train wreck was his fault.
