Sounds like my dad too. And my brother. My mom remaines immune to their homophobia, I'm happy to say.

My dad actually quite likes musicals. I'm trying to convince him to take me to Rent if and when the tour comes here. He's more likely to say yes than my mom, since she hates all musical theater with the exception of Andrew Lloyd Webber. She doesn't like Phantom though, so what good does that do?

It's sort of like that with my mom. She's okay with gay people, as long as I'm not one of them.

My mom will read some article, like the one in Time about how the Church is banning gay priests or whatever, and say like, "That is horrible, blah blah blah!" then if I saw something that I didn't even mean to be about me being gay, even though I don't even know if I am, and she percieves it that way, she'll get all snippy and she's like, "What, are you a lesbian now?!?" It's weird. And hypocritical.

It's like hiding a completely normal part of yourself. I hate that.

I want a calendar! Wah!

I love talking about gay rights just because everyone I'm surrounded by disagrees with me. But that's what I get for going to a Catholic school. I like when I can hear, or, watch I guess, people with the same opinions as me talk. It makes me feel, for lack of a better phrase, not alone.

People at my school scare the crap out me, because they're always quoting Jerry Falwell or Pat Robertson, or, worst case scenario, Fred Phelps. *shudder* Notice how they're all old white guys? I can't wait to get out of here and to a bigger school.

I don't get why parents can disown their gay kids. I just want to say, "You loved him yesterday before you knew he was gay.... How can so much change? He's still your son."

Yeah. I know what you mean. He gave me courage to come out to a few friends, and seriously seriously consider coming out to my parents. I'm still scared. I shouldn't be though. It makes me feel sort of ashamed that I can't even tell my own parents.

My view on gay people in the 7th grade (which, okay, was last year) was basically, "Yeah, I'm one of them. What the hell am I supposed to do now?" I still don't know what to do.

I just joined our school's GSA. Good thing, too, they were out of ideas for Day of Silence this year.

Rent DVD

Posted: 2/21/06 at 6:26pm

Yay! I got my DVD!!! Must go watch!

In the car on the way to Target my mom was like, "What are we getting again? Didn't you see Rent four times in theaters? Can't you just get it from Blockbuster or Netflix?" I was like, "heh heh heh, Why rent when you can own?" She had no idea what I was talking about. It was one of those moments when she acts like I'm totally crazy, usually for good reason.

I forced myself to write an entire paper before I let myself watch it... I put off my religion assignment until today, and it's due tomorrow. But, yay, finished it, and now I'm watching Santa Fe!

Okay, so I just missed the last, like, 15 or so pages.

I didn't go to the booksigning, so I love the pictures.

The sandwiches were gross and had too much peanut butter or something.

And I Luuurve the DVD commentary!

I took a Japanese class last year. All I remember is that 'beauty' is 'bai'. I also learned how to say "My name is..." but I forgot. I also know how to say thank you very much. Doumo arigouto, Styx!

Hey, Without You was listed under "Great Reads: Nonfiction" in People.

Back to your conversation.

The description is, ahem, "Without You by Anthony Rapp. A star in Broadway's Rent, Rapp was losing his mother to cancer as he found fame. Here, a two-hanky chronicle."

And then there's a little picture.

Circuit City

Posted: 2/24/06 at 7:39pm

I'm getting my later today!

My mom was pretty pissed of when they didn't have them the day they came out (I made her go there right when they opened). So they eventually put her on a list. Well after a few days of complaining to the circuit city website they finally said they would get a shipment in today. When my mom called they said they had no list. My mom was alrady pissed off today (family problems) so at this point she blew up at the girl until she finally took her name and said that there would be a calander waiting for her to pick up today.

My mom is not the kind of person to get upset real easile but we've always hated Circuit City and this just makes them look worse.
