Oh wow, things just seem to go so much better when you aren't mad with people. Nick and I are on good terms again, and to me it feels like better terms than ever before. I really ought to make up with people more often. Let's see . . . I've already made up with Jacob (There, I mentioned you. Happy? ;-) ) Now, there's Bobby left to deal with, and to a lesser extent Liz. Not that I'm particularly mad with Liz, I just have no idea where she's coming from in recent events, and having this irritation towards her being gone would be great. And then I won't be mad at anyone and life will be better than ever. I just have no idea how to deal with Bobby. It's like he's set on being a mortal enemy. I'll try, I suppose. But yeah, being mad SUCKS!!!!
In other news, THIS is the most depressing damn thing I've ever read. Just imagining all these poor people feeling forced to change their very nature to please others, is just so tragic. There's teenagers who already are already dealing with enough and then their parents take them to a church to make them straight! These parents are telling their children that they aren't good enough. That they are unsatisfactory and need to change. I can't stand mentality like that. And then there are "scientists" claiming that homosexuality can be cured. Odd how all the "scientists" saying this are from heavily religious backgrounds. Odd how 3 of the 4 posterboys for the Ex-Gay movement have been caught in gay clubs and orgies. By these people's logic, straight people could be turned gay through therapy. They are likening homosexuality to alcoholism. It's just really frustrating. Ahhh well, the world can't be perfect.
But yeah, today is the day of silence, so technically I'm not supposed to be blogging. Well, that's what Katie says. And I'm not supposed use AIM either. I understand that the point of the day is not to communicate, but online and AIM is the easiest place for gay people to actually be themselves because of the anonymity. And besides, this blog is my journal. You can't tell someone not to write in their journal. So, while I'm reluctantly abiding by the no instant messaging (I have a paper to write anyway) I'm still blogging because, well, I feel like it. But yeah, more people are participating at Dana than I thought would. It's really cool. Choir was sooooooo quiet today, it was eerie. But yeah, yay for the Day of Silence!!!
It's that time of year where I have to plan my schedule for next year. I'm kinda excited for it. I mean, I get to direct my own one-act and my one man show next year, and they are sooooo gonna rock. I can't wait. I want to make at least one of them Gay-themed because, well I have personal interest in the area, and Dana could use some controversiality. Katie is gonna let me look through her book of GL one-acts, so hopefully Doc will let me pick from that. And for my one-man show, there is a DI piece that I first saw my Junior year of highschool that I wanted to do soooooo badly. Then Aaron Hanger did it his senior year. I forget what it's called, but it was really cool, and the part I saw, really just resonated with me, and I would love to do whatever show that came from for my one-man show. I just have to find out what it's called, and then see if it'll work . . . But if not, I'd also like to see if, potentially, Doc would let me cut The Laramie Project and do that for my one-man show too. It's got lots of characters, so it'd be challenging, and very moving if done right. I am soooo excited for next year. I just have to see if / how I can take certain courses over again. That's my only obstacles so far.
Ahhh, the weather is great, life is great, everything is great! And I've even been slacking on medicine, which is not good, actually, but it shows I'm doing better! yES~!!!
