THE PARADE! :D

Okay so the pride parade was yesterday (sunday) and it was awesome! I went with Kayla of course! On the way there we met with Jordon who joined us, and walked there with us. He is hilarious... It's a good thing it wasn't windy or else we would have had to hear him complain about his hair being "ruined" or "messed up". LOL! He is very particular about the way he looks and quite full of himself sometimes so I always poke fun at him because of it. He has nice hair though... Right now it is pink.

Anyway we chatted while walking there and when we got there the only ones we saw that we knew were Amy and Nathan. Nathan was dressed in full drag as Roxy Cotton. the 3 of us were chatting, and Jordon spaced out while myself and Kayla continued. I could tell Jordon was checking out some guy and then all I heard was "oh my god" in a swooning tone. He laughed and got all embarrassed "oh crap", realizing he said that out loud. "Oops!" I laughed. "I couldn't help it. Lookk at him! I can't be doing this! I have a boyfriend!" I laughed at him again and said "ha! So? You can still look, just that's it". I always get a kick out of jordon because he is often like that. In mid conversation he stops because some guy caught his eye. LOL!

Anyway, next of my friends to arrive were Megan and Molly, followed by Emily and Matthew. Then Kelsey and Courtney. When they arrived everyone went to hug them and I was back with Kayla, walking towards Kelsey "Oh Kelsey, I brought a present" because she hadn't seen her in ages. Kelsey started running into a huge hug, while jumping she screamed at the top of her lungs "KAYLA!!! OH MY GOD OH MY GOD! KAYLA!! I HAVN'T SEEN YOU IN AGES AHHHH!!!". I am so used to these kinds of things I didn't even realize everyone else there for the parade were looking at us and could hear that. After we all had a laugh about that  Roxy came over out of nowhere and put her arms around both Kelsey and Kayla started jumping, and screamed "OH MY GOD! KAYLA! OH MY GOD! AHHH! KAYLA KAYLA!". It was hilarious! Myself and Kayla then walked up closer to where the speaches would be because they would be starting soon and someone said "are you kayla?", she nodded "wow. You are popular!", so basiically that was a huge joke for everyone at the parade.

There were many other friends there btw aha. After the speaches was the drag race. Roxy/Nathan was the official where he had won last year. A friend of mine Kyle won. He was sporting a slim blue dress. LOL! When Roxy was waving the pride flag after the first person crossed the finnish line she said "C'mon b'ys hurry up! I can't wave this thing forever"

Then it was the parade! Which was a lot of fun! Lots of chanting and flag waving. We got lot's of supporting car honks and claps. Afterwards was the barbeque complete with a pride cake! A cake with all the colours of the pride flag! Jordon made me laugh again because he didn't want to eat a hotdog there because that would be "awkward". "I'm gay and so are most people here... and eating a hotdog would be so... um..." I laughed and said "It's not like you have to eat it like that you fool! Now that you mentioned it though, I'm going to. let em' stare and make jokes. I'll put on a show!" He just stared at me and laughed. I then got my food and eventually ended up sitting with kayla, Rachelle, Aaron, Jordon, Megan, Molly, Kelsey, Courtney, Emily, and Mattew. Eventually everyone went there separate ways. I went with Jordon, Kayla, Rachelle, and Aaron, and a few others to Bannerman park where we met up with Kyle, some other girl and Megan (a different megan than i mentioned before) who I met the day before. When I met Megan the day before it was also in the park and we were doing cartwheels and handstands.

While I was there with that lot Megan started talking about how the Kids were chasing her the day before and turned to me, being the only one of us who was there, "Remember them kids? One, I didn't even know!" She went on with the story it was really funny. Eventually we ended up at the other side of the park after kayla had left. Nathan who was then out of his drag outfit, briefly joined us. These people came with a big Newfoundland dog and a good few of us said "Oh! I wanna pet the dog", commenting on how gorgeous it was. Nathan saw it, and let out a bit of an excited squeal, "Ahh! I wanna play with the doggy again!" and flamboyantly ran to it, flailing his arms. It was really funny! In his words he is "too gay to function". before going Nathan was sure to get my number! When programming it into his phone he asked "you look familliar, I thought so when I first saw you at the parade; What's your name" So I told him, and he said "Oh I know you!" because he has seen me before and talks to me all the time on facebook. "Yeah, i'm the 'fun arguement for a laugh one'" I said getting me an "I know! I love you!". Haha that was interesting.

Then everyone left except for myself, Jordon, Megan, and Melissa. After a while myself and Jordon left to get the bus home. It was a really fun, and long day!!!

I left a lot of details out but you have the gist of it all!

I will try to do a post on the variety show soon! I promise!

Gay 14 Year Old Takes A Stand

Last month, Michigan high school teacher, Jay Mcdowell was Suspended when he sent a student out of class for making hateful comments towards gays.

Many people showed up at a school board meeting to support one. Among these people, was openly gay 14 year old, Graem Taylor. Graem Taylor made a truly inspiring speech to the school board. His words are truly amazing!

A video of his speech can be found here

It is the first video.

This is a must-watch video.

Graem Taylor is truly an inspiration.

First Post/Bits and Pieces: GSA

Hey, folks. This is my first blog post!!

Welcome to my blog! :3

This blog will be full of a lot of random thoughts, and bits and pieces of my life.

Let's start with some "highlights" From my week.

On monday, it was same old, same old... In the morning I went to the third floor at school to hang out with my friends with whom I hang out every morning; my "morning group" XD

There is Olivia (Olivia M) who is probably my best friend in that group, Courtney, other Courtney XD, Molly, Another Olivia (other olivia) who I only met this year, but is quickly becoming a great friend, Ashley, and Alex, who is a decent friend but I am not as close to him as I want, and plan on becoming better friends with him.

The reason I want to become better friends with Alex is because he is a great guy for one! :) However, there is another reason... I feel kind of bad for him because I know he is gay, (most others think he is anyway) but he isn't open about it. Just to let you know, I know because I am friends with one of his ex boyfriends. I really feel bad for him, because he is such a great guy, and he can't be very happy hiding part of who he is, and not being able to openly pursue a desired relationship. I am thinking about just hanging out with him more and possibly telling him that I know one of his ex boyfriends and then inquire about it. However, first, I am going to try to get him to join the Gay Straight Alliance (GSA).

SPEAKING OF GSA:

It was just started in my school by a friend of mine, Julia. She is burnt! For those who don't know when I say "burnt" I mean she is a laugh and a half! She is so funny and so awesome! We had our first meeting on Tuesday. it was all the formal stuff so it was kind of "boring" according to her, but she says it will be way more fun! She was so funny though! For example, when the teacher who is our supervisor walked in, she commented on how she liked Julia's hair and laughed and said "IT'S HOT!" Then Julia said "Haha, miss is hitting on me! Be careful miss, Kelsey will fight you... she would win too". Then Kelsey, her girlfriend, jokingly shouted "YEAH! I WILL WIN TOO!" That had EVERYONE laughing!!

Oh one more thing. I love how at least half the people that were there (including myself) are straight! I find this good because it may help the straight homophobes hear the wake up call they so desperately need!

Lastly, nothing really interesting happened today... but on the bright side, I have a half day of school tomorrow and no school on friday, which may lead to fun times! :D

Well, that concludes my first post!

I can't wait to see how this whole blog thing goes... :)
