Last weekend I was in my school's production of the Laramie Project it was awesome. I mean I cried by the end of every show but it was amazing to be a part of. For those of you who don't know, Laramie Project is a play that is made from a collection of interviews with people of the town of Laramie Wyoming after the beating and death of Mathew Shephard in 1998 because he was gay.

Do they seriously need to drill his stuff into my head even more? I mean... This is the second time I've learned about exponential equations. Oh and the linear equations - it's the third time.

Then Jesus Christ! Freshmen Social Studies was a JOKE! The AID's epidemic? I learned NOTHING! Those map quizes? I aced all of them. Hell I got a 100 on the exam!

School has been ok. I did an Essay for HNA and passed it,just took 2nd Exam for Math(and think I did ok* knocks wood*). My 2nd project is coming along nicely and only have 2 pieces to cut in woodshop and sand then I can start painting. I go on my 1st field trip tomorrow for HNA,we're going to a museum and I should be back by 2-2:30 in the afternoon.

My second attempt and the one i think im gunna do for the poem i have to do.. comments suggestions etc. Theme is vision.

Four bedrooms, four bathrooms.
Two boys, three girls
One mom, one dad.
Two families.

A pool in the backyard.
A dog in his house.
Cars in the drive.
Money in the bank

A perfect little family, we appear to be.
Has anyone bothered to ask if this is my reality?

So I'm doing this for a school assignment- i have to write a poem which i stink at. The theme is vision. Here's my first attempt.

He sees me as a perfect angel,
I see a person who works to much.
She sees me as a good role model for her kids
I see a naïve and gullible individual.

They see two cool older sisters.
We see three kids tossed around too much.
They see a happy ending.

okay, so i'm gay and i'm proud of it. i'm sure we share this. =] and i really want to be out and open about it. i mean the kids at school should know by now. but what do you think about teachers? do you think coming out to teachers is a good thing? are you out to your teachers?

It's been a countdown of sorts this week. I was on the internet looking for information on schools SAGE (Straights and gays for equality) group and couldn't find any. Almost all the other clubs had links to their own site with info on them but SAGE didn't. Well I eventually googled it and found some info (on a st.

This weekend was the first practice of the school ultimate frisbee team/club. It was completely awesome. I forgot how much I like ultimate frisbee. It's one of the few sports I'm halfway decent at, and the people on the team are ridiculously wonderful, sweet, fun people. The only downside was that my shoulders, face and neck are sunburnt. Which hurts. But oh well.

so in my great womens writers class we had to come up with a controversial topic and make a speach and a poster for it. I got my group to choose, much to my enjoyment, for gay marriage. and i need some good slogans to put on out sighn, and i cant think of any so can anyone help me?

Today we had our Service Faire. If your schools don't have them, it is an opportunity for people from different organizations to come and talk to students about their community work. It gives us ideas as to what we want to do to raise our service hours. Some of the things that those people do are simply amazing, and I admire them.

So I just got home from swim practice...Which means that my school day is 2 hours longer than most people. Masochistic, I know. I'm still in my barely damp swim suit and skipped getting dress in favor of...A sweatshirt. High fashion, I know.

The first thing on my mind, once in the door: FOOD

Alrighty then. This is my oppinion on the whole knowing your sexuality when you're in 5th grade/13. Though the two are vastly different. In todays' world, there is no age limit on self discovery. So yes, I think you can know at 13 that you're gay. I'm not saying that things don't change, but thats completely different. I won't go as far to say that you will know 100%. Because things change.

So my first week of swim practice is almost over. And today, for some chlorine induced reason, I decided that I wanted to make it to districts in the 500 yrd event. For all you non-swimmers, 500's are the longest event in the high school swim meet. Nobody on my team will voluntarily swim this event. But me. The asthmatic. I swim the 500 in a little over 9 minutes.
