She wrote many hymns for the Christian liturgy; the most famous being the Hymn of Kassiani. Tradition says that later Emperor Theophilus who was still in love with her wished to see her one more time before he died. So he rode to the monastery where she resided. Kassia was writing her Hymn when she...
I’m an introvert. This means that when I feel tired or stressed, my default reaction is to pull back from people and to spend more time by myself. And I enjoy my solitude. Lately, I have been spending a LOT of time by myself. Today, however, I had a social function which I had to attend. We had a...
i doubt the person i am writing about will ever read this. i posted it on my xanga, but she doesn't read that either. but i felt i should say it textually, as writing helps me cope with certain things. recently, in the last 24-36 hours, a sibling of mine (i'm not saying which one) has taken great...
[38] THE PHARISEE AND TAX COLLECTOR Read: Luke 18:9-14 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself,'God, I thank You that I am not like other men -- extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector. Luke 18:11 NKJV * * * This religious leader may have had much to be proud of in...
This was a good weekend. I am going to mention a bunch of people's names - they're mostly co-workers, don't worry. We had wanted to see WALL-E on Friday, and even arranged to do so with our friends Jason and Brad, but two things transpired to prevent us. First, the showing we wanted to go to sold...
Alright so, today was Pride in Seattle. Let me start by saying it was absolutely beautiful. But today I experienced something quite odd for gay friendly Seattle. I have never been so disappointed in the people of this city in a very long time. My best friend and I spent the day at the parade (yes,...
It Pride Sunday and even the band if prideful..... Corner of Castro and Market streets in SF
Happy Gay Pride to the World! It's a Gay Holiday Weekend! Enjoy the video :>)
I'm just taking a break from some preparations for a BBQ we are having tomorrow. I realized today that I had left downtown Toronto, in body, mind and soul, when I heard on the radio that today was the Dyke March and tomorrow was the Pride parade, and I was completely unaware of this. When we lived...
“While we have come a long way since the Stonewall riots in 1969, we still have a lot of work to do. Too often, the issue of LGBT rights is exploited by those seeking to divide us. But at its core, this issue is about who we are as Americans. It’s about whether this nation is going to live up to...
Notes on Pride, 2008 Late June is perhaps not the best time the universe to hold an outdoor festival. Although this year was substantially cooler than it was last year, it was really, really fucking hot. This was the first year in quite some time that I went to Pride and had fun cruising and being...
Heeeeey. So I haven't given a proper post in a while, and I'm bored at work, so here's what I've been up to! What I'm Reading: So I started reading The Perks of Being a Wallflower again recently. I'm actually on hold with it, because I lovelovelove it, but it makes me sob uncontrollably. Especially...
[36] Read 1 Samuel 15 So Samuel said: "Has the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed than the fat of rams. For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and...
We went to the parade last Sunday. Best and most entertaining parade ever!
If it's too much to hear a comparison to any single American politician of note, note that he draws upon the best of many, and regardless of party. To do that indicates Obama is a person who approaches life by learning from the past. The old adage, 'Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat...
So, the presentation went very well! :) I spent the whole day over-preparing because I was afraid I may be frozen with stage fright...bought a little book of note cards and glued down mini versions of all the images that would be shown in the slide show...wrote little notes about things to say about...

They surely do make me proud. Thank God for them.
The LGBT Long Beach Pride parade and festival is this weekend. I will try to take pictures and video. Should be fun. K.C. & the Sunshine Band are playing tomorrow, I hope I can find some spot where I can go hear them. (Without paying for tickets, I'm so bad.) The Bangles played today, but we were...
A guy I know from highschool, Joey, was on the college Jeopardy semi-finals today, and he won!! He's going on to the finals! Downside: The other two finalists are from universities I've never heard of in my life, which means they're probably private, and they're probably fucking Einsteins. Also, one...
