I'm moving. Immediately. Fuck this place.
Who's with me?

Falwell dead = best day ever
oh my god!! He's dead! Jerry Falwell is dead! I can hardly believe it!
When Cassie called and told Sarah and I, I had a reaction to it very similar to when Strom Thurmond and Ronald Regan died - I believe we celebrated both of those events at the WC - to bad we weren't all together yesterday to raise a glass. What a terrible asshole.
On an equally appealing note, Sarah and I are going to the US Social Forum at the end of June in Atlanta. There's also going to be a totally rad queer fest at the same time - MondoHomo. Funny, huh? Anyway, if you're interested, I think we should round up as many Midwest folks as possible and head south. C'mon...

hospital = suck
Miss Emily is free! Apparently, she has some stupid ulcer from all the vomiting from all the chemo. Yucko. I'm glad she's home.

job interview...
So I have an interview today with Synergy for an overnight (3 nights a week) position in their DV shelter and I'm so nervous I want to die. I probably doesn't help that I just had a huge vanilla latte, but whatever. I'm really afraid that the woman at the interview won't like me and that I'll say something stupid and she'll be homophobic and won't like that I work for GLSEN and I'll say something stupid and she'll realize I have no practical experience in regard to working in a shelter aside from the fact that ALL of my friends have done it and then I'll say something stupid. Crap.
Whew...I feel better.
Jill - I wish you were here to talk me down from the gaddamn ledge. How are you? I wish you would blog, but I understand. Do you care if I use you for a reference?
In other, far more important news, Emily is in the hospital with an infection. Cancer and chemo are stupid. You would think, with our ability as a nation to blow up other nations and all, we would have come up with an alternative to treating cancer that DOES NOT INCLUDE THE COMPLETE DESTRUCTION OF YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM! Christ.

i don't understand...
...how the hell to read other people's blogs. All I can see are Sly's and Jill's. And I love the rest of you, too. So can someone who is smarter than me help me out?
Thanks!
Thanks!
pick yr brain, not yr nose
So, I've been having a terrible time sleeping lately. Last night I took, like, five max strength Benedryl and now I can't function. And I didn't even sleep that well. Damn it.
So now for the brain picking...I have to give a presentation to a class at one of the MCC schools tonight. It's either a sociology or social work class, I can't remember. The teacher wants me to talk about gender violence, which means I get to talk about stereotypes and breaking them, which you all know that I adore. GPAC just came out with this "50 under 30" report, which you should all check out www.gpac.org. I'm going to present that, talk about stereotypes, etc. But I always view these classes as a chance to give students what I didn't get in college, or at least on a regular basis. So if you were to present a lecture on gender violence to a college class, what would you say? Any nuggets of wisdom that you wish some crazy person had let you know while you were in school? Let me know if you have a sec.
