In all the places I’ve ever lived, and of all the places and times, I’ve never felt like I’ve had the kind of family that is portrayed in Rent. It’s not a family of genetics, but a chosen family. A family of friends, that makes your life better, stronger, fuller and ok, in my world…more perverted. :p
Right now they’re talking about the origins of the word asshat (see also asshelmet)  while watching the Rent extra DVD.

I really need to find a job soon. I don’t want to move away from this. It feels like home.

I’m grateful.
