New phone = happiness

Saturday, July 24th, 2004

I got a new cell phone today. I paid WAY too much for it, but I needed it badly. My old cell phone has been having issues for the past several months – mostly just the screen going blank and not coming back on for hours at a time. Well today, I got a voice [...]

Politicalapalooza

Friday, July 23rd, 2004

I just got back from our candidate endorsement meeting. Essentially, I played referee as our five very opinionated committee members debated the primary races. I thought it would never end. Our chair person valued electabilty over all other criteria, our token Republican was concerned about all the issues not directly related to the gay & [...]

Scary stuff

Friday, July 23rd, 2004

So I decided I should start trying to make some possible friends in Utah before I move up there. Because spending all my time hanging with the family – not going to happen. I’m not having a lot of luck with the internet. I spent some time yesterday checking out the gay.com chat room – [...]

Where is my master the rebel prince?

Thursday, July 22nd, 2004

So I’ve started telling more people that I’m leaving Las Vegas (I wish I could write/say/think that phrase without singing the Sheryl Crow song in my head). Reactions are pretty varied. Most people wonder why I’m going to Salt Lake, but it’s annoying to launch into the long explanation about my brother’s developmental problems and [...]

A Novel Idea

Wednesday, July 21st, 2004

I got another creative spurt last night and finished up a few more chapters in my online novel. I’ll probably finish the next chapter tonight. I know a lot of people have been confused since the end of “Guardian Angels” and the start of “City of Sin,” but I think the new chapters will start [...]

Aftermath

Tuesday, July 20th, 2004

The euphoria of making the decision to leave my job and move away from Vegas wore off around 6 am when something disturbed my sleep and I suddenly came fully awake with the thought, “what have I done?” I started looking around my apartment last night and making lists of things to throw out, things [...]

I think I’ll try Defying Gravity

Monday, July 19th, 2004

Well, I’ve gone and done it now. This morning, I handed in my notice at the magazine. I promised Kelly a long time ago that I’d give her at least 6 weeks notice if I ever had to leave the company, but I did her one better – I gave a full two months. My [...]

GODDAMIT! You’d think after 20 years we would know how to act about this. We’ve certainly had enough practice to know what to do, what to say. Surely, Miss Fucking Manners or someone would have put out a book telling you first to say this, then to take that action… But there I was on [...]

Self-Awareness

Friday, July 16th, 2004

Have you ever wondered if other people actually know you better than you know yourself? I mean, we should all be the individual experts on ourselves, right? If someone asked me a question about myself, I should be able to give the correct answer every time, the best answer, the only complete answer. Sometimes, though, [...]
