I have spent the past 24 hours cheering myself up by reading blogs. Some of them are really interesting but this morning I came across the funniest thing I have ever seen in my life via a link on Dave Barry's blog:

As a gay person, I certainly do not condone the use of the word gay to mean lame or bad but I have never seen anything so funny in all my life! I don't know this kid from a can of paint but he is clearly talented. I am telling you, this is without a doubt the funniest thing I have ever seen!!!
I was just reading my own words and it made me think about my using the word gay to refer to myself. A lot of lesbians will not use the word gay about themselves and they resent the use of it. I for one do not mind. In fact, I use it quite a lot. I wonder if that makes me a bad gay person. Ah, well, such is life.
TGIF. I have bowling plans for tonight. Where the new obsession with bowling came from, I am not sure. I am equally obsessed with Edward J. Stevens, bowling alley lawyer so perhaps that is the origin. I have to say though, 4 times since Christmas seems excessive, particularly because I can not bowl. My average is somewhere in the 60s! Regardless, I have bowling plans yet again!
Happy Friday!

Hey from Christy. I am new to the blogging world but since I am always looking for a forum in which to write, I thought this was a good one.
I am not your average 20-something lesbian. I do live in a city- close to bars, bookstores, coffee shops and the like. I do love the Indigo Girls, Melissa Etheridge, Jodie Foster, and Kissing Jessica Stein. And I did bring a U-Haul on my second date (or something like that). But I am certainly not your stereotypical softball playing, cargo pant wearing baby dyke. Sometimes though, I wish I were.
I wear skirts, knee boots, and lipstick.
I am Catholic- struggling at times, but always Catholic. Church going, collection giving, rosary praying. It is not easy but I do it.
I am partnered at 24. Seriously committed- ceremony and all. We even have the requisite cat. Her name is Lulu and she wears a rainbow collar around her neck. Christy, Michelle and Lulu- the typical lesbian family.
I work full time, making the most of my Ivy-League masters degree. I hate my job but when a gal has $40,000 in school loans, she does what she can.
I read. Alot. Libraries everywhere have my picture posted. I am the worst at returning books on time. This week, I am reading The Hidden Life of Otto Frank by Carol Ann Lee. Biographies are not usually my thing but this one is really good and I have a special place in my heart for Anne Frank.
I have panic disorder with agoraphobia. Thank God for my friends at ENcourage- a fantastic online community, and for anti-depressants which also help with my agoraphobia. If only I could cry when I felt sad, the world would be perfect. Chemicals are not all they are cracked up to be.
I am sad about Mr. Rogers.
Enough for now,
Christy
