HELLO DECEMBER GOODBYE

Updates?

I've been really busy lately. Why?

I applied to school.
Got into school - January 5, 2010!
Applied for a loan.
Quit my job - Last day, December 31!

Christmas shopping - oh & 20 people at dinner this year?!
I am so so excited to cook for everyone with Zoe. This is going to be the best year so far.

Bringing my lovely lady over. I'm so proud to finally be open and proud
EVEN MY GRANDPARENTS KNOW I AM GAY. Wasn't that day just lovely? Be proud, still.

This is the first time I ever anyone could ask me how my GIRLFRIEND IS.

I am so happy I waited for the right girl to bring home & share.
I love you so much.

Watching you skate? MMMMMMMMHMMMMM

I miss you, a lot.

Let's make a Quatchy. (?)

I need to finish shopping.

I'm getting drunk tonight, and having the best time in the world!

I find that occasional drinking makes it that much more fun; and less OH HEY I'M 14!

Really into that idea.

Really into it for sure.

Reflejo

One & the same...
By accident.

Dear Fernando,

You are my feminine side, my other half, my favorite person at work! Can we accidentally match every day? And be the same person always?

I think so... oh yes I think so!

Guilty - for being gay.

Does anyone read the Globe and Mail? If you don’t normally, you should take some time and pick it up today. I will now explain why.

On the front cover I usually find articles about politics that revolve around tax, debt, budget… money.

People who have done remarkable things; cops, volunteers…

Today, however, I pick up the paper to read that in Uganda it is ACTUALLY being considered that you could be sentenced to life imprisonment for being gay. In 2009? Basically 2010.

Is this a joke?

Furthermore, you would be sentenced to 3 years in jail if you don’t report someone you “know to be homosexual” within 24 hours.

Oh, and it gets better. Say if you DON’T know anyone Gay, but you like to have faith in FREEDOM OF CHOICE – you could find yourself in lock down for SEVEN YEARS, just for defending someone you don’t even know!

Their President hasn’t even shrugged! Not a peep. This has free reign to wander its way through parliament while these fascist assholes gladly welcome it – and the LEADER of the COUNTRY doesn’t even put out a statement.

“The sentence of life imprisonment will be issued upon anyone who penetrates the anus or mouth of another person of the same sex with his penis or any other sexual contraption

“He or she will also be sentenced for touching any other person wit the intention of committing the act of homosexuality.”

These poor people - It’s awful. It hurts my heart.

Want to know what’s most wonderful of all? They can’t even leave and do it somewhere else! This crime follows the gays of Uganda wherever they go, and forces them to continue to “abide” by this law.

Go read this article.
And then hope someone spontaneously combusted as a result of inner rage.

Straight on 'Til Morning

Every Monday I talk to a lady who leads Yoga at BP during the lunch hour. She informed me today that she used to work in Corporate Finance when she lived in Toronto; but picked up and left suddenly and found herself starting her own business shortly after, in Calgary.

She looks really relaxed.

She's probably about... 40? Maybe older. But she has that glow about her, that you can just tell her life is peaceful yet full of drive.

I think I admire her. I also think that I still hate Yoga.

I'd really love to run my own life that way, and not after years of tiresome office bullshit. Perhaps Step. 1 should be to say I WILL run my own life that way. Not I'd love to.

I will. NBD.

Moving on:

For the MW, KH & AL gathering I feel like I should write a list of rules on my door. It'll probably look something like this:

- No drama (this includes, but is not limited to: passive aggressive
behaviour, arguing, yelling, anything that causes a scene of any size,
etc)
- No alcohol comas
- No cat stealing
- No more than 10 people can cry at one time.

Good luck with that, Rachel.

-------------------

Wendy: Peter. You won't forget me, will you?

Peter: Me? Forget? Never.

Wendy: Will you ever come back?

Peter: To hear stories... About me.

How true is that?

Interesting fact -

Wendy Darling was played by an actress named Rachel in the 2003 version of Peter Pan

Tonight, I'm going to watch Terminator 1...2...& possibly 3 if I can stay awake. Unlikely. Beth has never seen the majestic brilliance that is Terminator. Or, better yet, Terminator 2. AKA my favorite movie all time (this I have mentioned before).. My fascination for it began when I was far too young; my Dad was bad ass for exposing me.

That's all I can muster up for the moment.

(oh, hello Hux and Flo)

With Love From You to Me...

I love you so dearly it's ridiculous...

She stole my sunglasses.
And lost them.
I want her to buy me some new ones.
But she says,
They were broken anyways.
She took my favorite red shirt.
And gave it to her friend.
But only to borrow.
Her friend lost it.
I want it back.
But she tells me,
It had a hole in it,
I don’t need it.
She wants to borrow my skirt.
But says it doesn’t fit,
Because I’m too fat.
I laugh.
She laughs with me.
I am shorter than her.
A lot shorter.
She pats my head.
And says,
Aww you’re sooo little.
I bite her.
Every morning she wakes me up.
Looking for the hairdryer.
Asking for my eyeliner.
Or just being a dork.
She is really lame.
I get yelled at.
For taking the hair straighter.
And leaving it in my room.
I do it on purpose sometimes.
To try and make her mad.
She is funny when she’s angry.
We go to the mall.
And on the bus,
She makes fun of people.
She is hilarious.
I like to fight her.
Because she will hit me back.
She is fun to fight with.
For my birthday she got me,
Nothing.
But I still love her.
I am buying her sunglasses for hers.
And keeping them.
She laughed when I said that.
I’m serious.
And she knows it.
My sister is good people.

I wish Google was always this fun.

MY PERSONAL FAVORITE:

5 for Fighting

1. You are wonderful. Those are the first, and only, words that come to mind.
2. Stop complaining. Seriously. It's the only thing you've ever been consistent with.
3. Holy shit. Yup.
4. I wouldn't have it any other way.
5. I miss you. I miss you. I don't miss you. I want to invite you over; but I won't. AND YOU - Can suck the tip.
