If you haven’t already heard….Recently J.K. Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter books announced that the character of Albus Dumbledore was gay.
I like it. And I’m not upset she never mentioned it in the books. In fact, the thought never occurred to me that Dumbledore might be gay. I’m not trying to read into it too much and say it’s a political statement. But it does says something about life and people. So someone is gay. That really shouldn’t change your opinion of them now…should it?
If you haven’t heard of R Family Vacations, it’s a cruise vacation company run by Rosie O’Donnell’s partner and friend. They promote family friendly vacations designed for the gay and gay-friendly community. I guess that they are responding to concerns over a series of church groups saying they will protest at the arrival of the cruise ship. A similar event occurred in Nassau in 2004, and they decided they did not want a repeat.
I completely understand and support the itinerary change. It is a vacation meant for families to be free and comfortable, and the last thing they want is to be met with protest especially when there are so many children aboard.
Rosie said that some like 80 churches have said that they would protest. It’s strange to me. I just don’t get religion. So many people consider it the core of their beliefs and morals. Strange that it ends up meaning fear, intolerance, and even hate. Is that what’s going to get these people into their heaven?
Some dumb bitch just said that on some commercial on the discovery channel. I found humor in it.
Since I have now been employed with my current company for a year, I can join the retirement and thrift plans. I am a complete dumbass when it comes to this sort of thing. I don’t know what to invest in. Last time I had to do it, I just let Mike choose them. The company will match 7% which is cool, but that seems like a lot. I hate grown up decisions like this. Like retirement doesn’t seem like a reality to me.
Lately I find myself noticing when people have wedding rings. I never used to. I don’t know how I feel about all that. Like Mike is my domestic partner or whatever…and he gets insurance now, which is cool…but I don’t get the whole marriage thing…not that we could legally or anything. Traditional things have always weirded me out.
Wow it is really fucking cold here in Ohio. I just checked weather.com. It is 2 degrees. But it feels like -14 degrees. Wow. I’ve never really understood the “feels like”…cause like I said it feels like death to me whichever way you put it.
Today I was absorbed into Beaches. Jesus, could I be any gayer? I just have to watch every time I see it on tv. I love Bette Midler. How embarassing.
I hate it when you go to a restaurant and your server comes up to you and says. My name is whatever, and I’ll be taking care of you this evening. I don’t need “taken care of”. I’m not a baby, although I do demand to be fed in a timely fashion.
Makalu is such a bad little kitty. He doesn’t shut up. It’s just meow meow meow. Pay attention to me…It was really funny this morning when I was trying to hold him in bed, and he leaped out of my arms, and right on top of Mike’s head. It was great. He was so mad. We bought all these cat toys, and a scratching post. But by far the greatest is the laser pointer. I use it to make him run laps around the living room. He needs to get out of some of that energy. I love him, I do…just more when he’s sleepy 
I got my tax refund! I know…I’m one of those people that fill them out online as soon as it is possible. But it was well worth it. I can now afford all the incurred kitty expenses and my little clothes obsession (Damn you Banana Republic!)
Teen Witch. Oh my god. It is on ABC Family and it is completely intoxicating. Have you ever seen it? It is the ultimate in cheesy 80’s movies. My sister and I would watch it over and over and over again when we were young-That and “Girls Just Want to Have Fun”. Wow….and now I’m gay. Ha
So anyway, if you haven’t seen it you should. There are tons of fun fashion montages and crappy music. It hurts to watch. It really does. Check it out.
Today I’m having one of those days where I just feel really cranky and bitchy for no reason. I’m probably just tired. I think I just didn’t sleep well, and I ran out of my favorite coffee and had to drink the crappy back-up…yuck. And all day my damn boxer briefs have been bunching up - only on the right side though. Ugh.
I’ve also been a little frustrated with work. I like my job a lot, and I’m very grateful to be here. So don’t get me wrong. I just sometimes feel like I don’t know how what I need to do. I have projects, and I’m able to keep busy most of the time, but the projects I get to manage feel non-substancial to me. Like “Evaluate a particular software/system”. Where do I begin to do that. I sometimes wish someone would say I need a report that shows this…and I could totally do that. I dunno. My last job was so demanding and fast paced, and I was always really overwhelmed, and always had tons of stuff to work on, but it seemed like there were always clear deliverables. The goals and deliverables at this job just aren’t as straight forward. Oh well.
I was reading about that Grey’s Anatomy guy who used the gay slur is now going to go to counseling for behavioral issues. I wonder if he truly knows he’s done something wrong and wants to change, or it is just something he is doing to get out of hot water. Ya know like all those celebrities that go to rehab, and almost seem to use it as an excuse. I dunno. I feel bad saying that because I know there truly are people who need help and can benefit from rehabilitation, but you have to wonder about some people. Well Mr. Washington, go see a shrink…hope it helps.
