This is a video of some Equality Riders getting arrested, including my good friend Lauren. They go to (mostly Christian) colleges were gays and lesbians are not welcome and act as teachers and mediators and role models for students.
What a crazy world, huh?

Just got back from MaggotFest - we took two RVs and it was basically a shit show. Drank all day, put too many substances in my body, went to the social as part of a Morman cult, got covered in beer, saw far too many penises, oh and watched some good rugby. We were going to whore ourselves out, but with $10 buying all the beer you could drink for 2 days, that didn't really happen.
Now it's back to day to day life. As usual, work, friends, girlfriend and life all want more of my time than I can give. I met Rebecca's parents last night - they're so fun and she was so nervous! I think it went well though.
Hmm what else has happened in life? Went to San Diego, was in the hail for 2+ hours with the Hens while we won our challenge match, played in some gardens with grumpy old Russians, and ran around Capitol Hill a few times. |

Well apparently I haven't updated in a while. Life is good. I'm still working at the food bank, playing rugby and having a good time. Monika and I went to a whiskey open bar last week. Results were to be expected...drunken wandering around downtown Seattle. I'm RVing to Maggotfest with my team in a few weeks - I cannot wait! And Rebecca and I are going to San Diego in a few days. So, life is good.
Not sure what's in store for the fall - I'm leaning towards staying in Seattle, even if I don't get into UW (I'm on the wait list until further notice). I just can't stand the thought of moving to Michigan OR amassing over $40,000 in debt. I have a few job prospects in Seattle for the fall, one a certainty and the other a very real possibility, so I might just stay here and chill for another year. Who knows. All I have set in stone now is Michfest for the first two weeks of August.
Man, life is good - and I can't wait for it to warm up just a little so I can start hiking and camping in these beautiful mountains again! |

Best News Ever.
Working Michfest short crew this year - Communication/Security. I'll be there from July 30-August 12. Amazing. I'm beyond excited. |

3 murders on Capitol Hill in the past 3 weeks, and now a shooting right by the Hill: http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/01/shooting_at_23rd_and_union.
Crazy world.
On a happier note, I had an impromptu dinner party last night. Monika, Lauren, Rocky, Rebecca and Siouxie were there - it was great! I made canned chili with peppers, onions, tomatoes and carrots, along with bread and cheese and wine. Monika brought mangoes and we made mango rum smoothies. Some people left, some roommates came down...all in all it was a great night of good food and friends and chatting.
Hmmm what else? Grad school applications are in: UW, UMich and UBC. I kind of just want to get in to UW so I don't have to make a decision. I really don't want to leave Seattle, but I think I really need to evaluate each school regardless of location. Or at least taking location less seriously - UM has the best archives program in the country but I don't want to move to Ann Arbor, which isn't a good enough reason not to go if I get in. We'll see.
Just got back from a Chamber of Commerce lunch. We had to give 60 second "advertisements" to the other people at each table, about 5 times total I think. It's funny to be one of the few people under 60 in the room - I'm getting used to that fact though. I'm so bad at schmoozing and networking with people that I'll really not remember or need to know - they're probably not going to be of use to the food bank. Or maybe I just need to think of creative uses for these people. Who knows. I think I'm just being toted around as the token Americorps volunteer. I am learning, however, that I don't want to be in a profession that requires me to wear suits. People (such as myself at the moment) shouldn't be made to feel out of place simply because they can't (or won't) purchase super nice clothes. Humph. |

From afterellen.com: Worst TV shows of 2007 #4 "A Shot at Love With Tila Tequila: Life is too short. The list of books I still haven’t read is too long. And real tequila probably kills fewer brain cells. Though, Dani? Duh, hottie."
Sigh. So true on all counts lol. In other news. I heard that Dani will be at G4G in January. Let the mobbing begin. Haha. |

- posed in a bathroom stall with strangers

All in all, a successful evening.
