I just thought it would be fun to write that subject line.

I wonder if this is what Mormons feel like. Oh wait. But they get to date, don't they? Maybe I should change that last one to something else. I'm finding that while I a) feel better and more healthy, I am b) more judgmental of judgmental people and c) more insecure and irritable in general but this may be because of d) I'm bleeding (but I don't ( Read more... )

This last weekend I went away to the woods to have a retreat and do some hot-tubbing with the journal boards. There was a cute cat, the threat of a bat, and lots of Garden State music. Mostly though, I ate, drank and slept a lot. I also kind of froze my ass off because I didn't bring any sweatshirts. I came back on Sunday and slept 3 hours in ( Read more... )

So I went to San Fransisco for an interview re: the Tom Steel fellowship. The first thing I did was have a Mission style Burrito at my favorite Mexican place on 16th. One of those can fill you for like 2 1/2 days. I know this is cliche', but I love SF. Even just the smell of the old Victorian flat I used to live in fills me with this unique hope ( Read more... )

This morning I woke up at 7 am to the sound of helicopters. I knew that something was wrong but didn't have the energy to go outside. Instead, I turned on the TV. I always have this very nonchalant way of responding to danger. It's like when I was sitting with matthew307 at a restaurant on Mill and our candle accidentally lit our garlic bread on fire.

I'm going to San Francisco on Monday!!!

For my Finalist Interview! Yeah!

Yesterday when I was walking up the WA Supreme Court steps for In Re Parentage of L.B. and stepping into the building, I got that special dizzying I'm-a-part-of-history-and-isn't-that-nice feeling.

I got the same feeling when I watched Gary Ridgeway about to be sentenced on the 9th floor of the King County Superior Court. When pouring over the ( Read more... )

I'm feeling good these days. At Victrola. Going to Olympia in minutes to see In re Parentage of L.B., the lesbian custody case.

Practiced kissing this weekend. Went very, very well. (Though moratorium still in place.)

Journal politics. Gag me.

My dating moratorium is going really well (for those of you who don't believe me). I didn't even go out last night. Instead, and I'm almost ashamed to admit this, I stayed home and read John Grisham's The Street Lawyer. On a Saturday night. I'm not exactly sure if this is a quality way to spend my time, but it's definitely a quality way to rest my ( Read more... )

I read an article about finger structure, and apparently, I have very gay finger structure. I've been contemplating identity these days. I think there's a point with identity where it's beneficial and a point where you go a little too far. Am I too "into" being gay to an extent where rather than gaining support from people I'm actually ( Read more... )
