Ashley and Brieanna were great to have as models. They were fun and lively. They reminded me how fun it is to let go and be free of spirit and mind. I hope to photograph them again when it gets warmer and we can try something new.

I was watching the view and they were talking about gay rights, one of the ladies made a point about the fact that if I did marry another woman what does that do to your marriage. It is such a tough subject because there are so many people out there who believe that homosexuals cannot be married. They can have a civil union but they will never be able to truly married.

As young kids we are always told that we grow up get married and have children. But if you are not the norm that is suddenly not expected of you. Because you are gay you are no longer expected to get married in fact you are not even allowed to. So these expectations that are made to us no longer is feasible. How is this right? How can a government decide who I am "allowed" to marry. It really just lights a fire underneath me and I am not even in this situation. If I love a man or a woman I want the right to be able to choose who I like.

I would like to be able to have children if I want to. They are now making laws that you cant take in foster children if you are not married this also effects gays from taking in children. Is this law targeting gays? Maybe this will past was there not a point where the marriage of a black and a white an issue.

People can claim that people are worried that people will get married that are for special benefits but does that not happen with straight couples? Couples are getting married all the time to allow people into the country. but no that doesnt matter. ... more later

Book Club

I know its been a while... no excuses

I want to start a book club. I want it to be amongst friends. I do not want it to be me joining a stiff book club with a bunch of strangers that I have to get to know a I go on. Everyone can bring snacks and drink wine, we can spend the first night picking out the books we will read. One book a month. It would be a lot of of fun. I am posting here, myspace and facebook. We will see how interested people are. Hopefully as much as me.

What a great night!! And some plugging!

Well Last night we went to A PUB live and we saw a cover band that called themselves Drama Queen. I am obsessed with this gal now, not only is she seriously gorgeous but she has an impressive vocal range and tonality. She sang everything from Kelly Clarkson to No Doubt. They came on around 10 and sang until 2. I was impressed her voice didn't falter at all. Kyle said that he would want a band like them to play the last few hours of our wedding. I'm assuming he means our reception. All hypothetical at the moment considering a lack in a question being asked but a good thought. I am already her friend on myspace so I will have to ask if they do that kind of thing. 

Check them out though if you can @

I also clicked on a link on myspace for a female singer and I'm listening to her tracks on her page and I'm obsessed. So if you like Indie chicks that can actually sing with some great tunes check her out too @

While I'm plugging some music I have to say if you have never heard of Pandora.com drop everything you are doing and go there now! It is a great place where you can listen to only music you like! How it works is you type in a few bands or songs that you like. You can start with one if you choose and it finds music from those choices that fit the same genre and sound and things like that. If you don't like what they come up with that's OK you can click "do not play this again" and they wont. If you get sick of a song that plays on your personally created list you can click "do not play for a month" and it wont play. It is such a great invention and you need to check it out.

Forgive Another Poor Drawing!

Here is a ridiculously awful rendition of what I want my tattoo to look like. It would be on the top center of my back a few inches below the base of my neck. I have been considering the same thing for two years. So I have definitely gave it some thought. I am just petrified that I am going to be a big baby and cry.

The crown is a symbol of my sorority and the number 297 is the order in which I was instantiated into my chapter so it is my bond number. I am really excited to do it if I ever get up the courage. So far I do not have that courage. Im scared I will flinch and get a line down my back or I wil get an anxiety attack for having at stay still for so long which I am privy too. I wrote to long I have to go to work.

Making myself busy

I must really be bored with my life because I'm trying to take on some serious extracurriculars. For instance I am getting back involved into Zeta after my year long break. I am going to the alumni mixer @ spot coffee. Kyle and I filled our Thursdays with Ballroom dancing lessons that start on the 25th. I am also most likely trying out for Evita with the Webster theater guild. If I do all of this plus my full time job I am going to be one VERY busy girl. I love it. The only thing I am worried about is that Evita will conflict with work and Dancing. I don't know yet because the auditions are on the 26th. Damn I need to download the soundtrack so I can start mesmerizing the songs so I dont learn them right before the audition.... anyone have the soundtrack?

oh and does anyone know where I can get leather soled shoes for dancing? I dont even know what those are.

Early Mornings

I am usually just waking up at this time not being completely ready. I have a chiropractor appointment at 730. I am excited cause it will feel good but I am still tired and would rather be in bed. tomorrow I am laying out my clothes the night before and maybe even making my lunch and sleeping until 730. At least project runway is on tonight... something to look forward too.

We are also signing up for ballroom dancing this week. Kyle's mom is getting us the form. I am so excited :) Mostly because it was Kyle's idea not mine. Someone will have to come one night and take pictures so that I can scrapbook the activity.
