Today I found out that Bert and Ernie from Sesame Street are going to get married. One small step for two puppets one giant step in the road to complete intolerance 
I know what it is like to feel unwanted. I know what it is like to feel so alone you have no where to turn. So isolated it’s hard to breathe. I know how it feels to be bullied into doing things that I know I didn’t want to do in the first place. Things that I did because I was so afraid that I wouldn’t have any friends. Throughout high school I was friends with a girl who could be considered the “alpha” of our group of friends. When she said jump we all jumped… when she said we’re going, we went. When you said something she didn’t like she shunned you and got the rest of the girl to do the same. I was so happy to get away to college to escape this girl. My first summer home she wanted to hang out. I had changed so much that first year away and I thought maybe she had too. And for a while we remained friends because what had changed is that she was less blunt with her bulling.It is now 3 years since high school and I am finally done with this girl. She crossed me for the last time and I am so hurt and so angry with her that I just can’t go back. The reason I am writing this long entry is that I know how it feels. I want to make it clear to all those people out there in the world dealing with a bully. Know that I am here for you. I am here to listen. Here to have your back. Know that, because it is better to know that you are not alone in this than try and go through it alone. Enough tears have been shed over someone being mean to another person. So if you are a bully, cut it out now. If you are being bullied talk to someone, get help. You all are loved, and deserve to live peacefully.

The BIG GAY Weekend! Capitol Pride was awesome this year. I went to the parade which was a good time! Then went to the after party at Apex and meet some new friends. On Sunday I missed the festival because I instead went to the Indigo Girls concert! It was an amazing weekend!

Seriously? And these are Christians?
Osama Bin Ladin So I found out that Osama was caught and killed. I’m mixed up about what has happened here. I feel like on one hand it’s great you caught the leader of a terrible organization. But on the other hand I feel like the reactions and what has been done to the body since then seems alarmingly wrong. Since when is it ok to celebrate the death of a man. When did we decide to put a face on evil? Evil doesn’t have a face. I also question why the US has custody of his body. Why is that important? What do we need his body for? I feel like we are in ancient times of Troy, where Achilles is pulling Hector’s body around as a statement of power. It just feels wrong. I’m completely confused on how to feel about Osama’s death… It reads in articles that after a fire fight (the insurgents opened fire on US troops and there was a shoot out) Osama was found dead. But he had a bullet in his head. That reads as an execution… So I leave this blog post unsure of what to believe, and how to feel. And mostly just wishing that all the troops could come home and wartime would be over…
