Quotes of the Day

"...if you took the W in answer, the H in ghost, the extra A in aardvark, and the T in listen you could keep saying "WHAT?" but no one would hear you because the whole word would be silent!" -from The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee

"You're like the Salvador Dali of c***-blocking..."

...here's a picture I took in Florence!

Seven semesters down, one to go...

...until I have OFFICIALLY graduated high school.

Finished my finals, and then spent an immensely awesome Friday with previously mentioned friends, Chris and Reese.

By the way, you seem to-

Throw around the term "f*g hag" a lot? Yeah. I do.

I don't think it's a flippant term, though. My mother finds it degrading, but personally, I think it's something to be proud of.

I'm not just a f*g hag because I have lots of gay friends (even though I do). I see the role of f*g hag as beyond being a friend; I see it as being the closest confidant, the guide, the girl with whom a guy can discuss his deepest darkest secrets. He can trust her like he can trust no one else, and if she knows a lot of other gay guys, she's learned their lessons and can pass them along.

And in turn, she gains a close male friend with whom she can be completely intimate, yet that intimacy is nearly completely free from sexual tension.

I wrote yesterday a little bit about how blessed I feel to have my gay friends. And I still feel that way. I feel that way every day, because not long ago, none of us would be as open and fabulous as we are.

Today, in Starbuck's, Reese gave Chris a very tender kiss while we were sitting together. Nothing happened. Nobody made a fuss. Nobody screamed "FAGGOT". Nothing. A man in a cowboy hat left immediately afterward, but that was about it. I sensed, very deeply within myself, that not only was this an adorable moment between a very caring couple, but that the act itself was a tiny miracle. They are free to express their affection for each other, without fear of retribution.

And that's the most beautiful thing in the world.

Almost done!

My last two finals are tomorrow, and I'm really not worried about them.

Today went well, though I really am looking forward to spending time with my friends tomorrow. I mentioned them last week on here, in a very sentimental-bordering-on-sappy post after one of them came out to his parents.

These are my friends. :) I took this picture of them today and I felt like posting it.

I joke a lot about being a f*g hag, and among my friends, I like to say that boys don't talk to me unless they're gay, but honestly, it's times like these that make it all worth it. To me, there's something miraculous about two boys or two girls who are unafraid to come together and say "Yes we care about each other, yes we're going to kiss each other in public, DEAL WITH IT." It's just incredible to me, and I love it when it happens, because in high school, it's so rare.

Thank God for the gays, because they have courage where no one else does. Thank God for my friends.

Finals Week! Grrrr!

My most challenging final is tomorrow, so that sucks. :/

Also, I scraped a car in the church parking lot. Go parking skills.

But when my day kinda sucks, I remember how much love there is in this big ol' world of ours.

Then I feel better. :)

A good day. :)

I got accepted at my top university today. Into the theatre major. With a $20,000-a-year scholarship.

God has blessed me indeed. :D

P.S. Also, apologies for lack of blog yesterday. I got caught up in studying for finals (ah, that time again!).

A Pass-Around Story

Start one with your friends and see where it leads!

I went to a swing dance tonight, and 'twas very fun. My feet hurt like crazy, though. Ah, well. Painting and finals studying tomorrow!

The Occasional Adventure

(Quick post, as it's close to midnight.)

Spent the day in Seattle, and despite missing our bus and being stranded in the international district (which none of us knew) at 10 PM, it was an enjoyable day.

Coming soon- maybe tomorrow, maybe not- will be my next installment of the Global Citizen series!

Until then, readers!
