I haven’t really posted for a bit. It’s terrible.
This month has been kind of ridiculous. I will resume random snippets of my life ASAP.
I will tell you I’ve been talking to some people about doing some awesome stuff. How’s that for vague?

failure
I’m trying to be all nonchalant about this weekend and how it is NOT working out the way I want, but in all honestly I’m pretty pissed/upset/sad/tired.
one liners: chatty cathy
I think I need to stop talking to myself, especially at work. I’m starting to get an odd reputation.
news: gay marriage legal in california
Today started out normal. I was almost late for my volunteering shift at a local AIDS non-profit. i had some avocado on toast on the way there.
Today turned magical pretty fast.
Around 9:30 a.m., I hear from the kitchen of the place I volunteer at “Kim! Turn on NPR!”
I had no idea why. I’d apparently been living under a rock. Today, the Supreme Court would rule on gay marriage in California.
It took us about 30 minutes to figure out what station NPR was, and then it was jazz. The internet was down, so we couldn’t keep an eye on that.
A little after 10 a.m., the Internet came back up and I heard another shout. We all piled behind a desk and read the story on the Sacramento Bee.
It was legal. A narrow 4-3 vote. We stared in disbelief, then I saw two of the people who work there hug.
Oh my God.
He started crying. Then there were frantic calls. I stayed, looking at the screen, reading the whole story. One of the men said his boyfriend was coming home soon.
“We might just go to the courthouse Monday.”
I smiled. Such a simple thing, a piece of paper. Yet it means so much to so many.
news: chinese earthquake
There was just a gigantic 7.5 earthquake in China.
I know I don’t really report on “news” here, but something about this photo disturbed me.

It just looks like people have no idea what to do.
Here’s a BBC news report
It’s gearing up to be a crazy summer, I think.
