North Dakota Is For Heterosexual Lovers

I recently talked to an internets friend on the phone. She lives in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. She made mention of us hanging out if I ever got up to her neck of the woods. So I go over to google maps… and this comes up:

First of all, what’s up with North Dakota? I think google maps is trying to tell me something

I get frustrated because I don’t take any road trips anymore. Even though I owned a motorcycle in my youth, I’m not a big fan of them. But I’m seriously thinking of buying one so I can make road trips without a huge cost of gas and mileage on a car (you can pick up a smaller cc bike for under $2000 usd that gets 60 -70 mpg).

At Times, Being Queer Is A Blessing… My Chosen Family

Three people in my life, are family to me… but they’re not! Confused? Most of the readers of this blog aren’t, because they know the isolation and the rejection that most GLBT people feel at some point in their queer experience. If you don’t have accepting people in your life, you find and connect with others that do accept and love you. With that explanation I’d like to introduce you to my chosen family.

Ethan St. Pierre

My chosen brother, Ethan has been through just about every trial I’ve gone through. He truly is the best friend I’ve ever had. He is my rock, my fellow activist, and the person who I trust more than anyone else in the world. He’s proven his love for me in action, and words. I’m grateful that he’s a part of my family.

Jennifer Perdue aka “Peg Leg Hooker”

This bitch has met Ron Jeremy in his hotel room, trolloped with me through graveyards and abandoned insane asylums, and had midnight discussions at the IHOP at 16th and Meridian. She’s someone that’s always stood by me no matter what. We’ve gone through so much crap together, she’s seen sides of me that no one else has (or probably wants to). I could never stop being friends with Jennifer, she knows where I buried the bodies!!!!!

Aida

Aida’s my spiritual twin. We connect in a way that I’ve never connected with another human. Many times we go through quite similar phases or feelings, without knowing it! She’s actually the genesis of this post. She made a comment about me feeling like a sister. That feeling is 100 percent mutual. I don’t know what connects us, but I trust in it 100 percent.

Through the years, I’ve had quite a few people come and go in my life. These three people have been there solidly for me. Ethan, Jennifer, and Aida, I love you. You ARE my family. I’m blessed to have you in my life.

P.S. In a bit of synchronicity, I had my mp3 player on random and a song that came on fit my feelings perfectly.
