So it seems like my parents have noticed my increased queerness.

My mom keeps asking if I'm going to marry a guy. I ask her why it's so important to her and her response is so she "can have grandchildren." She ignores my comments about adoption/a sperm donor if i do marry a woman.

She's also making a lot of reallllly inappropriate jokes about my...

Actually I will be on a barge in Lake Washington off of Lake Forest Park. I'm surprised that they will let you in that close. Some of the pyro companies break the law and let boats in closer than they should, but it keeps the sponsors happy and the law looks the other way.

Making space for my parents/friends/relatives to articulate some of the real fears behind their stupid comments can help a lot. So often it's really instinctive, not-so-well-thought-out stuff and when they put words around the specifics they solve things for themselves.

The standard set of parental fears seemed to boil down to:

1)
"If you stand out as different people will judge you and/or hurt you."

2)
"If you stand out as different people will judge us and hurt us."

3)
"If you insist on being queer and we still want to be close to you it''ll make queerness a topic about which we'll have to think and make conscious choices rather than running our minds/mouths on automatic. Ick. Thinking and conscious choices are hard work."

Difficult to make space in which smart people can articulate stupid ideas, but if you're feeling generous enough to do it, that might help. Good luck.

My ex-girlfriend(ish) decided to tell me today about her "wonderful", "amazing" new girlfriend.

Completely unprompted.

It felt like she was rubbing it in my face. She even gave me her fucking Myspace address. I guess so i could go see what's better than me.

Ouch. That fucking hurt. I'm gonna go be miserable now

I hate when the x's do that. I recently got an email titled "Closure", funny I thought that a year without talking counts as closure.

I'm back in town for the next couple of weeks. Want to get together?

I've come to a few conclusions and made a few observations in the past two weeks.

#1- My mom is crazy. And still an alcoholic. She's back up to a bottle of wine a night.

#2- My dad is also crazy. And also still an alcoholic. And dying. His various diseases are really wearing him down. Especially the congestive heart failure. And as much as...

Yay for queers!

I'm in Berkeley pretty often, actually. It's where I get my fauxhawk done (Elixir); plus, I shop for my nerdy glasses at this great boutique on 4th Ave. wink

Losing weight does suck, but it's easier when 1) people encourage you in a kind - not condescending - way; 2) you have someone to be accountable to, besides yourself; 3) you can find an activity you enjoy that also happens to burn lots of calories!

So go kick ass! And being queer rocks!

So I'll be on a boat/in Canada until Tuesday. I can't promise I'll be able to get online, so don't expect to be seeing me for a few days (not that I update that much anyways smile ).

If you want to track the progress of our boat in the race, go to the !Swiftsure website. It's not up now, but by Friday...

I've updated my portrait and concert galleries in my SG pictures folders. I also added the set I shot for ex-SG Jaded. She archived before sending it in (*grumble*)

Lots of pictures under the spoiler for your viewing pleasure. Warning: they include nudity, architechture and my friend Anna's gigantic boobs.

Oh- And I've officially finished my first year at Cal.
