35 got a new chair. Should have seen us taking it down the stairwell. Comfortable though, very comfortable! I would get rid of my couch for one of those! Good night with a good friend with lots of stories and laugh, and realizing even more how parallel our lives are.

POTD & Thoughts - Jan 22

One might ask what is up with this photo....a picture of your television?? Again, a lot can come from just a picture, even if it is of a TV. The show is a documentary on Matthew Shepard that was created by a friend. It is done with a lot more of talking about who Matthew was growing up, etc. It is a nice point of view. I remember the Matthew Shepard incident. I think it was the first gay related death that drew my interest. Not even sure if that is how to say it. At this point in my life I had started to test the waters in regards to being openly gay and this was something that made me think alot about that choice. I have seen most documentaries on him including The Laramie Project. I look forward to seeing him in heaven and giving him a hug. At EIU I got involved with the pride group. At that time we were called LGBAU - lesbian, gay, bisexual, allies union. My last couple years with the group the name was changes to Pride because no one could ever get the acronym right....not even us....

Because every Thursday I am reminded why I keep hanging in there. Evelyn has started "talking" now and it is just way too cute. If we can get her first words to be "Blewy" then I have it made :)

In the 10 years I have been at UIUC, I do not think I have seen this many race chairs. And, those are not extras, that is how big our team has grown!!!

When I was growing up and would misplace something, I often got told "well, it didn't grow legs and walk off." Well, um, I would like to officially challenge that statement.

Saw these and thought one thing......Chris is lucky they are not Eagles :) Ok, so I totally blew my deal to make a year without any self harm, yet if these were Eagles, I would still buy one for Chris....just because I could. I mean, doesn't everyone need a football helmet mug?
