Most.Comments.Ever

Wow, turn away for a bit and get bit. WeSea was a big hit! (sarcasm, come on in!). Thanks guys, and note that I'm not the CA transplant. But love the comments. And I love West Seattle, just so you know. Just taking a bit of adjustment after living on Capitol Hill, where I could literally walk anywhere I wanted to. And the longer commute, but not much longer and I'm trying out different departure times from home and work, so it'll be fine. Not thrilled Fall is here already, but what are ya' gonna do? Nothing. Camp Homo campsite closed for the season this past Sunday, thanks to all the camp mates and Daddy, we had the smoothest tear down for Cirque du So Gay ever. Sad that we're done for the summer, and I'm always thinking this will be the last year (especially now that I'm married) but the magic endures. And draws me back. For how long, don't know. Another year at least. Despite managing to fall down crossing the creek to the beach (injured rib) and Daddy falling into the (thankfully unlit) fire pit over the Mardi Gras weekend. Sometimes I'm really happy when the season is over.

WeSea

I never, ever would have imagined living in West Seattle. The commute is a bit longer, having to drive through downtown can be a pain. But now I can start using the term 'WeSea', like WeHo is West Hollywood. WeSea even sounds a little 'ghetto'. Cool.

Oh, and I don't know all the rules, and I guess with all the different kinds of relationships there are out there you make the rules up as you go, but I'm a puppy with a Daddy. And our domestic partnership certificates came in the mail today! wOOf!

Grrr Bark Woof

Rather than an entire back story to the year behind me (and there is quite a bit), I offer the RD version: same job, new company! 'death of me' boss, let go 3 weeks ago! moved from The Hill to West Seattle! Married the MOMD! Still camping. Still POS car (remedied soon I hope). Still my usual 'anxious' self, despite meds. New outlook on life in general, and that change is inevitable and is I think 'life' itself; everything is in a constant state of 'change', and the harder I fought accepting 'change', the less 'happy' I was. It's a work in progress, of course. I do know that when I stopped looking for someone (husband) [and I can't say I was 'looking' but playing the field a lot], he literally ran into me. And I can say I am happy. Some friends have methodically left, and some have become more than they know to me. I'm getting used to things changing. wOOf!

Shocking, I know!

Seems like I've been asleep for over a year. Oh, right. More to come on how completely a life can change in a year. Some things never change (Camp Homo) while residences have (The Hill). And I got married. I know!

Stupid Bran Producers Convention

Lazy Bear is not going to happen. :( I'm a little disappointed, but we're doing VanBC Pride instead, so that's something. And I'll know more people there so the anxiety should be less. It's odd; I'm attracted to bears, but most of them are interested in other bears so I'm not even on their radar. Which is why I'm ok with not going to Lazy Bear. Still, I'm sure it would have been fun, but I won't get to see Sam. Someday.
Still trying to determine the effects of the meds, but going with the flow and seeing what happens.
And I've just started reading GTD. Could be an interesting next few months.

The News

A couple of reasons I don't watch FoxNews; they're evil, and my reception of channel 13 is not all that great. But it improves when The Simpsons are on. Morning news goes to the clearest channel my rabbit ears will pick up, currently channel 7. Sometimes channel 5. Never channel 13.

Lazy Bear may not happen, the Boys have a lot going on and it's in limbo. I really want to see him spin, but if we don't travel south, we'll head north for VanBC Pride. Cool either way I guess. I'm such a follower sometimes. And Camp Homo continues to provide endless weekends to do basically nothing. Nothing but enjoy the beauty of nature and spending time with some of the coolest people I know. And drink. But there has been some unpleasantness nearby, and bear sightings. The four-legged kind. Plenty of the other kind at camp. :)

I'm still not sure the meds are working (for their designed purpose), but they have some terrific side effects. Enhanced "desire" and increased "output" are my kind of side effects. Who knew.

If you have not already listened to him, please do so immediately. I'll wait. Really. The title of this post is the coolest mix. And then this!

Mix Mutt at LBW!

The boys talked me into Lazy Bear this year (and I get to see John at the Triple R) and I'll get to hear the Mutt live! I am so stoked about this. Stoked. I said it. It does mean I'll miss VanBC Pride, but I'll get a vacation w/bears. Lazy bears. :)
