Birthdays and stuff.
So, a few things.
The first is that my sweetheart’s brand new MMO is launching tonight, momentarily in fact. It’s called Free Realms, and it’s a game for people of all ages. Everyone should try it out. I’m incredibly proud of my man for working until 2am for the past few weeks, and at least midnight for the past 4 months on this - he’s put so much work into it and...

Gender Attraction Fluidity
There’s an article on CNN today that’s from Oprah.com, titled - “Why women are leaving men for other women”, and while I disagreed with a lot of it, there were very interesting facts. To start with, the article talks about how it’s almost becoming “trendy” for women to be dating women in the media now. I think this is a bit offensive, and think it...

Day 1: So Hungry
Today is Day 1 of the new me, and so far mostly so good. I’ve only cheated and had ONE M&M. Yes, one individual piece of candy. I suck. I feel so hungry and I want to snack all day. Luckily, I brought healthy snacks. So far I’ve had a turkey, muenster, and mustard sandwich, some grapes and peaches, a light yogurt, and some fruit snacks. I’ve also consumed one diet coke,...
Cute Swimsuit :)
I think this is a swimsuit I would actually love to wear. It’s from Lane Bryant. Unfortunately, it’s $100, which is almost 4 times as much as I’ve ever paid for a swimsuit in the past. Maybe Ill have to go in-store and try one on and see how flattering it is.
Starting a diet again!
Tomorrow is the day that I start back on “the diet”. Here’s the rollercoaster I’ve been on:
About a year before I moved to California, I was on a hardcore diet. I lost about 25 pounds just by reducing portion size and cutting out un-diet soda.
When I moved out here, I joined 24 Hour Fitness and went every night for about two months, continuing to lose about 10 more...

no longer frumpy.
I have this terrible habit of saying “I’m not going to go shopping for more clothes, because EVENTUALLY I am going to lose weight”. Or I’ll say “I am not going to try to look cute today, what’s the point? When I am thin, I’ll start caring.” It’s really that I have low self esteem, I mean, I’m not walking around feeling sorry for...
Nevermind that, I’m not going to Coachella tomorrow.

Too Cool For Karaoke?
Last night, I finally went to the weekly Too Cool For Karaoke at the Ruby Room on University in Hillcrest. The idea has been intriguing to me for months now, because themed karaoke sounds awesome. Plus they have other crazy things like “banned” lists of songs that are simply not allowed, period, and the ability to vote for those songs.
The theme last night was “Pre-Coachella...

Coachella =(
I’m a little sad I’m not going to Coachella this year. While it’s not really feasible to go right not at $100 per day per ticket, and with Luke working his ass off - I still can’t help but to check out the lineup and be a little sad. I remember living in MN and missing all these awesome festivals and thinking that if I only lived out here, I’d drive 8 hours just to...

#amazonfail
And apparently, it was a glitch, says Amazon.
Alright guys, whatever gets you through the PR nightmare in order to fix it is fine with me. Fix it, because I don’t want to stop using my Kindle app and wishlists. <3

Amazon...homophobic fail.
I’m still diving into all this, but I’m getting caught on on my reading about Amazon’s epic fail. Apparently, they’re removing the sales rank from any LGBTQ books, which removes them from coming up in searches ENTIRELY from Amazon’s homepage. Their official stance? ”They were adult themed.” Meanwhile, you can find straight pornography books, anti-gay...

What it means...to be a straight ally.
Are you gay? Are you transgender?
Those are questions that I hear pretty frequently, sometimes a little more subtle than that. I can see where people would draw that conclusion. I’m quite vocal about pressing issues like gender and marriage equality and the rights of gays, lesbians, and transgender individuals. I tweet about it, I blog about it, I post to my Facebook. I have gay...

Forcing kids into gender roles - what could possibly make someone think that’s a good idea? Man, I hate pageant moms. Why aren’t these illegal again?

sigh.
Warning, some incredibly dumb quotes ahead. Basically, the North Dakota House was voting on an anti-discrimination bill that would prevent people from discriminating against gay individuals. And it didn’t pass in the House. That blows my mind. Of course when you have people who think like this…
“If this bill passes, I can still preach about [opposition to] divorce and living together,...
