I'm gay. And in a committed, loving relationship. Therefore, I must be a threat to your kids. After all, if they see just how much Brian and I truly love each other, they may realize that your own marriage is, to put it lightly, lacking.

I, of course, don't mean to stereotype conservatism, but let's not forget how many Republican "pro-family" Congressmen have been involved in gay sex scandals in the last few years, or mixed up with prostitutes, or anything else that is quite a bit more detrimental to family values than two men loving each other. (Or women. Shut up, feminists.)

So in other news, more life-ish news, the Semester from Hell now has a younger brother. I call this semester the Semester from Heck. I had honestly planned to take on a lighter load and manage my entire life better. Instead, I'm currently involved in the following activities:

- 9 classes
- 20 hours a week at the library
- acting in Cloud Nine at Saint Rose (Act I: Joshua, Act II: Martin)
- The Silver and Gold Brass Quintet
- CSR ITEA (College of Saint Rose chapter of the International Tuba Euphonium Association), Vice President
- Subbing on 2nd trombone in The Pajama Game
- Playing in a brass ensemble with the Masterworks Chorale on Rutter's Gloria
- Subbing in a community band next month
- Albany TubaChristmas, the first of its kind in my city in years
- Brian <3

I can't wait until grad school. People always say it's difficult, but seriously, it can't even match this. Unless I keep acting in fucking plays and get an assistantship and work 2 jobs at libraries and do the dual master's degree and FUUUUUUUUUCCK!

Okay, nevermind. Please, do pardon me while I get another cup of coffee..............Wow that's good coffee.

I really want to go away to the city for a weekend. Like I'm DYING to do so! But with Christmas coming up, and being short on January's rent (which I may be able to get by with because it's when I move in with Brian...so I can use that to get money from my mom hehe), it seems like a very very bad idea. Instead, Brian and I are taking a day trip to Oneonta this weekend so that I can meet his parents. We tried months ago, but I had a migraine that kept me in bed until 7 pm. We're making it a day trip though, because I need my sleep. At least some.

And now, back to work!

Advice for gays: Maybe it's time we started boycotting states with out tourism dollars...publicly. Because we tend to be childless in our relationships (even with adoption opportunities), we have more expendable income. And I know that we like to travel. So it's a thought...
