Lost homojo

Good evening kittens! Over the past several weeks I've come to the conclusion that I need a new Fairy Princess. No, not to replace my old one but to supplement her. I love my Kristy to death, but we've been drifting apart for some time now. It's nothing major, we didn't have some huge fight, there wasn't some gross act of disrespect, we've just moved in different directions in our lives. She has gotten married to a wonderful man, she has a kid, a job. I'm happily single, no kids, but I do have a job!! Yay for that one! Our interests have shifted since we met five years ago. We no longer have the fun shopping trips together, making fun of poorly dressed people in the mall and ogling cute boys. We used to talk every day, no matter what, now days can pass with out a word from either camp. I'm interested in drinks at happy hour, Showtunes on a Sunday night, window shopping at the mall. While I love the child and husband that my Princess comes with, I find myself wishing that they weren't always around. I don't want to feel this way, but I can't help it. We've lost our homojo. That spark that made us "US" is gone. I don't know how to get it back, if we even can. I'm curious if any of you have had a similar experience? Have you had friendships drift apart? If so, did you get back the spark, or was it gone for good? Any advice?

Sunday night tv

I'm very happy to have a good season of Desperate Housewives and Brothers and Sisters on ABC.  Not every season of these shows is stellar, but this season is shaping up to make me very happy.

Fight back fags!!

Okay kittens. I know some people are going to give me grief for what I'm about to say and advocate, and quite frankly I don't care. I just finished reading about the 13 year old boy in Texas who put a bullet in his brain because he could no longer endure the teasing and bullying that he was subjected to in school. Reporting the abuse did no good as the school claims to have no record of the numerous phone calls made by the boys parents and claim they were completely unaware of any bullying going on in their school. BULLSHIT.
Then last week there was the boy who hung himself in his backyard because he was bullied for being gay.
And then there are the bashings and hate crimes that occur because there is little or no repercussion for the crimes. The muggings and beatings that occur because a man admits he is gay when asked, the waiter who was stabbed in the neck after a customer asked him if he was gay. I could go on and on.
A channel has been created on youtube to provide encouragement to young gays that "It gets Better". While this is a noble effort and I do believe it will help for those feeling isolated to know they are not alone it's still not enough. It's time we fight back. Cast off the image that we are whiny, limp-wristed, lisping, rainbow loving little queens who whimper and cry when faced with adversity. It's time we take off our stilettos and use them to stab out the eyes of the ignorant rednecks who attack us. Instead of running and crying ourselves to sleep or slipping a noose around our necks when someone attacks us for being gay, we need start throwing punches. The gym is our church gays!! Let's use those muscles for something other than picking up our next trick at the bar! Let's blacken some eyes, break some noses, and split some lips!!
When I was in elementary and middle school, I was the subject of bullying. It happened all the time; on the bus, on the playground, on my walk home. It was awful. Then one day, as I was being called a fag and one of my books was stolen from me(and I love books so this really pissed me off) I decided it was time to fight back. I threw a punch, nearly broke the kids nose, dared any of the school officials to do anything to me for it since they had never done anything to stop the bullying, and that was it. I never had any issues with anyone in school again because I was willing to stand up for myself. I was no longer willing to be a submissive player in my life. I took control and made sure no one messed with me again. And I've carried it into my adult life. I tolerate nothing. That's what our community needs to do. Tolerate nothing. Shout out the NOM's and FAMILY VALUES COUNCIL and FOCUS ON THE FAMILY. Refuse to stand on the sidelines and let bullying and hatred be directed at us without fighting back. It's time to stand up for ourselves.

Good morning kittens! It's been a busy past 3 days for your loving blogger here. First off on Saturday was the wedding of my friends Ashley and Russ. Gorgeous ceremony, even more gorgeous reception. The tables were covered with fabulous pink and white centerpieces, the dj was very good; giving all us dancers plenty of Glee tunes, and the dinner was amazing. Somewhere on facebook there's a photo of everyone at my table holding up their filet mignon like neanderthal cave dwellers!
Sunday was my day at work. Working Sundays suck. Just sayin.
Yesterday was the kicker day though. My engine in my car blew up as I left for work. Now I don't mean my car just quit running, my engine literally BLEW UP! I pulled out of the driveway, it shook violently, pieces and parts fell out and fluids poured onto the pavement. This did not make me happy. I had to call off work, get my broken car back up to the house, and explore options for getting a new motor. This is not a fun time. Motors are expensive! Expensive that I don't have. I've only been back to work for a month, I have no savings, and I need to spend two thousand dollars for a new motor. I am not a happy camper.
I was able to cap the awful day off with a positive though. I had bought tickets to see the awesome Jay Brannan in concert several weeks ago, so I bummed my mothers car(not without serious grief) and made my way to see the adorable Jay Brannan. He puts on a great show that would have been even better had there not been an obnoxious drunk queen near the stage who refused to shut up! Anyway, If you've never heard of Jay Brannan, check him out on youtube and JayBrannan.com. That's all for now kittens, hi-ho it's off to work I go!

New Post

Good evening kittens! I know I know, it's been forever since you have all been blessed with my fabulous thoughts on the blog. So I'm making up for it now. Here's a bit of stream of consciousness writing for you all.
     -I've started a bit of a new diet and working out. I've signed up for Pilates and a tap dancing class at Ballet Met downtown. God love my tap teacher for being one of the most patient men I've ever worked with.
     -My retirement from theater is going well. I've vacationed in Florida twice this past summer and will be off to NYC soon for a few weekend trips this fall.
     -As for my retirement from theater, I'm still extremely hurt by what happened to me and will never work with Little Theater Off Broadway again.
     -I have a new job! After a year and a half on unemployment I finally found a job that pays a decent wage and gives me all the hours I want. For this I'm grateful and feel very lucky.
    -I'm very excited for Mercedes-Benz fashion week going on right now and really wish I were experiencing it live.
     -I'm very concerned about the current state of the Democratic party right now. Midterms are not looking very good. I see a few extra bottle of wine in my early November.
     -Eat Pray Love was a great movie and an amazing book. I love Julia Roberts.
     -That's all for now kittens. More later.

mm mm good!

Good evening kittens! I hope you all enjoyed your weekend doing something fabulous. I went to Columbus' fabulous Jazz and Rib fest with my best gal pal Kristy for freebies, jazz and most importantly yummy, delicious, finger-licking good ribs! This was my first venture out in public in a week and a half after a nasty fight with a kick ass sinus infection that really did kick my ass. I was really sick for over two weeks. Down for the count. All I did was sleep, blow my nose, cough, and nurse wicked bad sinus pressure. I went to the doctor; he sticks that little viewer thingy in my nose then tells me it's not pretty up there. Thanks captain obvious. Thank you for validating my being horribly, uncomfortably sick. And thank you for the round of antibiotics that helped me kick the infection.
So finally on Saturday I felt like a normal human being again and wanted to rejoin society and venture out into the world. Kristy was begging to see me since it had been three weeks since her wedding and we had had no girl time together since I had been sick since I came home from her wedding. (Airborne people. Seriously. I didn't take it before I got on the plane and should have. Big MISTAKE not taking it. Huge. No Matter how vile I think it tastes.) Anyway, out to the Jazz and Ribfest we went. First to hit up the freebie booths cause really, who doesn't love some good freebies. We got several bags of the new Kraft Homestyle mac and cheese and I am a fat girl who LOVES, I mean LOVES me some mac and cheese. We picked up some great spice rubs, some other junk then it was on to the ribs. Again, I'm a fat kid who loves me some good food. And good food is what I got. I picked up this platter that had ribs, beef brisket, pulled pork, cornbread, baked beans, and coleslaw. The girl handed me this box and I 'bout dropped the damn thing. It. Was. Heavy. Heavier than I expected. It was a box full of smoked barbecue happiness. I slathered it with both hot and smoky sweet sauce, then Kristy and I scoped out a bench, sat down, and tucked in to some meaty goodness. I was a happy fat kid when it was all said and done. We people watched, then walked back to the car where I unbuttoned the top button of my shorts for the ride home. It was that good.

Just a quick update

Good afternoon kittens! I wanted to give you all a quick little update. I've been busy traveling(more to come on that later) and suffering through a very nasty sinus infection that has been kicking my butt. However, I'm finally starting to feel like my old fabulous self, so more posts will come with greater frequency. So for now, stay cool on this sweltering day kittens!
