Maybe This Time

Saturday, October 10th, 2009

Well, it’s a Saturday night in Manhattan, I’ve finally got some money in my pocket, I already finished my case reading for the week ahead (and Monday is a holiday anyway), and my roommates are out of town. You know what that means…

Yup, bought cheap Halloween wig at CVS and spent the evening singing karaoke songs in my dorm room. I really need to make more friends.

And, yes, they did it better on Glee.

EqualityMarchSelf-deprecating humor aside, I’m staying in tonight because I have to get on a bus at 6am tomorrow to get down to Washington DC for the National Equality March and Rally. The last major queer rights rally in DC was in 1993 when I was in Nevada, in high school, and in the closet. I really debated whether or not I wanted to go to this one, but in the end I decided that I’d rather be able to tell people “I was there” even if I have concerns about the effectiveness, purpose, goals and value of the demonstration. I’ll be marching with some of the Fordham OUTLaws folks, but hopefully I’ll run into some of the other activists I know from across the country.

Since almost everyone who reads this is also my facebook friend, if you’re at the rally, text me at the number on my FB info page and I’ll try to find you.

    oMgz me too! And with that super pale skin (aka the lighting) you could totally play that crazy ho from Harry Potter.
    Good job though.

    Have fun walking around all day while I’m in bed reading!

    Josh, this Thursday night there’s a gay law student mixer thing at Therapy. Here’s my thought: you should come hang out with me so you can fall in love with a law student, then you and to-be-named law student and Enrico and I can all go on double dates and have dinner parties with potato dishes but no mushrooms.

    I love how you pet your hair. You certainly look different with long flowing locks and you really have a great voice. Well done. Have fun in DC and hope it all goes well (as in you don’t get lost, fall in the pond on the mall or your bus isn’t stuck in traffic and you missing the whole thing).

    I’m impressed by your singing. My voice is so bad, I don’t sing alone in the shower.
