Gay of the Day


Joshua: Sweet and Nerdy

April 30, 2008

gotdjosh.jpg
Name : Joshua
Age : 24
E-Mail address : jpwittge@gmail.com

Actual job : Billing Rep for Blizzard Entertainment. Yeah, video games. And transcriber for TheLeakyCauldron.org. Yes, Harry Potter fansite. My inner child loves my adult jobs.
Dream job : Write! I have so many stories to tell.

Mother would say about this photo : "Well, that's cute! Have you gained weight?" Never misses an oppertunity, that woman.

Dress for bed : Warm Texas night? Boxers... or nothing. Cold Texas night? Frumpy PJs for the win.

Theme song : "You Can't Stop the Beat" -Hairspray. Yeah, that's a really gay answer.
Ask me if I care. It's a song about having fun, dancing, and being who you are.

Three people to meet : Melissa Anelli, Nicole Kidman, and Eddie Izzard.

Boxers or briefs : Depends on the bottoms. Usually, boxer-breifs.

Cats or dogs : Both! Though my dog likes cuddling more. And is far more social.

Caption for this photo : You like me! You really like me!

Inspiration : A latte, a pack of cigarettes, and people watching.

When in kindergarten, wanted to be a : An actor. I was amazed that you could goof around on TV and get paid to do it. Specifically, I wanted to be a cartoon. Not a voice actor, but an actual cartoon.

Astrological sign : Libra

Voted 'Most Likely To' in high school : We didn't do the "most likely" stuff. I got Best Actor, and was nominated for Homecoming and Prom king. So...most likely to steal some chick's crown and make a fuss about it?

Turn ons : Accidental contact while passing, really sincere snuggling, and rough make out sessions in mildly public places.

Would like to be reincarnated as : A kick boxing, smartmouthed lipstick lesbian. Or a straight guy (they have it far too easy).

Preferred airline food : Pasta. Makes you want to nap (I can't sleep on a plane for the life of me) and gives a little carb induced energy boost later (when you should be sleeping off jet lag but only want to go out).

Clothing and designers : Never been much of a label kind of guy... I worked for Gap for the longest time, so wearable, cute clothes at a decent (and employee discounted) price were the norm. The most designer thing I have are my D&G glasses (as pictured).

Reason to be Gay of the Day : I think I'm a non-conventional gay guy. Not in the usual "I'm different and I'm out there" kind of way, but I'm not some airbrushed, unatainable, Abercrombie wanna be. I'm an average guy, built big, who likes what he likes because he likes it, not because someone says he should. I wear clothes that make me look good that I can afford, I read comic books like most peolpe read magazines, I still play video games and watch cartoons, but I get to do all this and be an adult. Which, if I was being honest, I would say that a lot of guys in general would like to do. Relax and be youthful but get paid to do it and be happy doing it. No one ever said growing up meant not being able to play. I don't feel like a stereotypical gay guy at all, and I think that needs to be exhibited in the media a little more.
