And my mother would give me phone messages from then when they would call me when I lived at home. �Ummm . . . Scott called . . .Is he the GAY?!� �Well God mom, I don�t know if he�s THE gay. That�s a lot of pressure to be THE gay. All that resting on one guy. He has to do the parade ALL BY HIMSELF. �I�m here, I�m queer . . . well, I guess I�m the only one!�Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4056861.post-27279098885079882422008-06-13T17:54:00.000+01:002008-06-13T17:54:00.000+01:00Skye, hey!

I could just as easily be celebrating diversity. <BR/><BR/>I like, "last year's shopping expedition," because Skye's shopping pretty much happens once a year. I seem to recall an annual shop where Skye frolicked about the Esprit Outlet at Potomac Mills, performing a tune of her own devising, called, "This is where the little leprechauns buy their clothes!" Then she demanded my pot of gold.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16089796721473561446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4056861.post-84112150984344979342008-06-13T17:42:00.000+01:002008-06-13T17:42:00.000+01:00Oh man, I saw the big rainbow flag up top of your ...Oh man, I saw the big rainbow flag up top of your blog and I was like, "crap, she's going to tell that story joking my fashion sense."<BR/><BR/>I would like to say I have progressed from then, fashion-wise, but that would be a lie. I just have my friends dress me.<BR/><BR/>The highlight of last year's shopping expedition took place in the shoe store in Nordstrom's. The others posited that I might need heels to go with my suit. I objected, and they nodded knowingly, saying it was likely I couldn't walk in them anyhow. Indignant, I had a pair brought out, put them on, and proceeded to bound in a circle in the store, then stop and deliver two roundhouse kicks. Take that, stereotypes! (I learned it by watching Charlie's Angels.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4056861.post-12971634692909025192008-06-13T15:20:00.000+01:002008-06-13T15:20:00.000+01:00Ibid: I think Topless Militant Lesbians opened for...Ibid: I think Topless Militant Lesbians opened for Me and My Birdy.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16089796721473561446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4056861.post-62591505630140934012008-06-13T15:19:00.001+01:002008-06-13T15:19:00.001+01:00K: Totally.

I was way meaner - I used to tell her she was named after the kind of terrier.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16089796721473561446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4056861.post-71590130561188683022008-06-13T15:19:00.000+01:002008-06-13T15:19:00.000+01:00Capital Pride Festival.
