Let's Not Divulge Such Information

"A boy has been killed and a number of lives have been ruined. And, somewhere along the line, the killer Brandon got the message that it's so threatening and so awful and so horrific that Larry wanted to be his Valentine that killing Larry seemed to be the right thing to do. When the message out there is so horrible that to be gay you deserve to be killed for it, we need to change the message."

"Larry is not a second class citizen, I am not a second class citizen, it is okay if you're gay." - Ellen Degeneres

"I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary. The evil it does is permanent." - Gandhi

“My code of survival says never mess with a woman who carries a gun.”
- Shemar Moore

L is for the way you look at me
O is for the only one I see
V is very, very extraordinary
E is even more than anyone that you adore...

I hate Hooters.

So, the great part about getting older is... ... ...

"Don't attach yourself to anyone who shows you the least bit of attention because you're lonely. Loneliness is the human condition. No one is ever going to fill that space. The best you can do is know yourself... know what you want."

One of these days, I am going to look forward to another birthday.
But until then, a girl can dream.

- A RIVAL CROCK POT. I think that it is very important that I get one of these into my life.
- A new digital camera. I know you guys are tired of my profile picture.
- Season THREE of Grey's Anatomy on DVD. I will probably end up getting this myself.
- Season FOUR of the L Word on DVD. I think I've seen three episodes of this season. Don't talk to me about anything.
- A car wash. Has anyone seen my car lately?
- Potted blue hydrangea plant. I promise to keep it alive this time.
- Subscription to InStyle or Star magazine. What can I say? I am a sucker for glossy things.
- The Last Summer of You and Me by Anne Brashares. Books will never hurt me.
- Glass VOSS Water bottles. Preferably filled with water, but beggars can't be choosy.
- Road Trip. If you promise to whisk me away, I will agree to follow.

Apologies are just words.

It is clear that I must find my other half. But is it a he or a she? What does this person look like? Identical to me? Or somehow complimentary? Does my other half have what I don't? Did he get the looks? The luck? The love? Were we really separated forceably or did he just run off with the good stuff? Or did I? Will this person embarass me? What about sex? Is that how we put ourselves back together again? Or can two people actually become one again? - John Cameron Mitchell

In less than a month from now, I will be turning 22.

And I am scared.

I really believe that it is humanly impossible to be friends with
everyone. Anyone that tells you otherwise, is probably really boring or
a pushover.

I couldnt imagine a life without you.
I love you ridiculously.

I will never again date someone that remains in contact (that means any
form of communication involving physical contact, co workers, mutual
friends, cell phones, text messages, instant messages, emails, pagers,
Myspace, Facebook, roommates, smoke signals etc etc etc...until my face
freaking turns blue and falls off into a pit of burning sulfur...) with
an ex.

Okay sure, in some extremely rare circumstances, two people can break up
amicably and remain friends. But I figure the odds of that are about one
in a million.

Most of the time, if things are done correctly, the both of you should
hate each others guts and never want to see each other again. Amen.

But more often than not, there are the times, where you break up with
someone or you've been ambushed by a dumping and those sweet, warm,
gushy feelings are not completely incinerated and squashed into a
million undecipherable smithereens. You want to believe whole heartedly
in the phrase "just friends." But alas, that small puff of hope between
the two of you or the two of them remains a festering putrid boil ripe
with mixed messages and feelings ready for expulsion at any time. And
then begins the inevitable...



So really, if you still can't go to any lookout point because it was
their favorite...

If you are still exchanging birthday and Christmas gifts...

If you still keep that framed picture of the two of you in Cancun on
your desk...
If you haven't eaten that box of chocolate that they gave you for
Valentine's Day...

If you haven't thrown out the bouquets of dried flowers "just
because"...

If you haven't washed that jacket that they've left behind because it
still smells them...

If you keep on insisting that you are over your ex...



YOU are not OVER your Ex.
And therefore, should remove yourself from the viable dating community.
You should not be putting yourself "out there."

You should definitely just remain" in there," with your confused,
lustful and lying self.



And no, the person that should be paying for your last relationship
shouldn't be the person in your next.
