January 8

It's been a while since I've posted, since I've lost my free wi-fi connection from home. New Year's was uneventful, I hung out at the sports bar where I play cards and watched the ball drop. Poor Dick Clark. I am officially a full time employee at the insurance company, as of Dec 20, with full benefits, which is great. If my father invites me to Las Vegas with him this year, I won't have to turn him down because I don't have vacation time. Been thinking a lot lately about some people I went to high school with, about how we had a falling out and are no longer friends. On one hand, I'm probably better off, they weren't nice people to begin with, but it still hurts. Sometimes it's nice to be off the grid, no Facebook or any of that nonsense.

November 26

Thanksgiving went well. I drove up to my family's house the night before, and got up early to watch the parade. Sadly, it was raining and when that happens there's no reception so I only caught about half. I love my Grandparents more than anything else in this world but I have come to hate the house I grew up in, it's like a holding cell, after 48 hours it's like, either charge me with a crime or let me go already. I finished all my Christmas shopping today, didn't take 10 minutes, I didn't even have to wait in line at Target. On another note, I now have central heat in my condo. My friend Court sent a guy out to fix it, turns out it was just a bad thermostat. Nice to know I have central heat for back up this Winter.

October 30

I love October, it's my favorite time of year, even in Atlanta where the season change is less noticeable. Tonight I'll probably be going to see a Midnight showing of Rocky Horror in Marietta, it's been a few years since I've seen it. Glee's version Tuesday wasn't bad, I liked Mercedes as Dr. Frank'n'Furter. One thing I don't understand about that show is why nobody doesn't stand up to the bullies with the slushies. Why not start throwing them right back in their faces? That would make it stop. Thank goodness we didn't have a slushie machine in my high school.

Oct 9

Gay pride weekend is officially here in Atlanta! The lineup this year doesn't look all that exciting, but I'm really more interested in the parade & the vendors afterwards anyway. Antigone Rising is performing tomorrow night, and I think Kimberly Locke is perfoming tonight on the Coke Stage. Might be fun, if I can talk my uncle into coming with me. I sent a picture to the Domino's website on the "Send us your pic" campaign with the hopes of getting free gift certificates for pizza sent to me in the mail, I'm not sure if they'll like the picture I sent them. Couldn't be any worse than the one "Bryce" in Minnesota or whatever sent in.

September 25

It's Saturday and once again I have no plans, except maybe to watch some netflix. I really need to start planning better. All my new shows are back on, so I have something to look forward to almost every night after I get home from the gym. I spent part of the week dog-sitting for my uncle since he was out of town, I don't know how he deals with those two barking all night, I barely got any sleep while I was there. I am still considering getting a small dog, like a teacup chihuahua or a malti-poo, but I don't know for sure. I might foster to see if they can get along with Luci first. I'm glad I wasn't sitting next to Lady Gaga at the VMA's in that meat dress of hers, imagine how that must have smelled under those lights? I do appreciate her campaigning to have DADT repealed, so gays can serve openly in the military. I'm not surprised the Republicans shot it down in the Senate, probably just out of spite. I don't think the military even cares any more about gays serving openly, what with their numbers being down as it is.

September 15

The singer I've been rooting for all season won America's Got Talent! I'm pretty happy for him, since the grand prize is $1 million and his family lost everything in Hurricane Katrina. The new Fall season starts this week, so far I like Nikita and that's about it, none of the shows really look all that great except for maybe the reboot of Hawaii 5-0 I might give Undercovers & The Event a chance, but if I don't like the pilot I'm not sticking around. I'm not even watching the second season of Vampire Diaries. The acting is so lame I don't know why I watched it last season. At least I've got a new season of Hoarders to keep me entertained.

August 21

I can't believe the war in Iraq is finally over! It's taken them long enough. Thank the higher power Obama was elected over McCain, otherwise, I don't think our troops would have come home this week. I never thought they should have been sent in the first place. I'm getting over a nasty case of poison ivy, which I seem to have picked up second hand at the gym of all places, someone must have gotten it and left it on a machine, which I immediately used. From now on I'm wiping those leather areas down before I use them! I might be going to see a WNBA game Sunday with a friend of mine, there's a meet & greet with the player afterwards. I've been thinking a lot about my college days recently, wondering if I missed out by working weekends and living off campus instead of fully investing in campus life and not joining a sorority or something along those lines. I don't think they would have wanted me anyway, I never really fit in with those people and it seemed like High School all over again, but at the same time, I might not have drifted around in school as much as I did or taken as long to graduate if I had taken a different route.
