And her name is Myrtle. I am off to Myrtle Beach for my brother's wedding this weekend. It is possibly the only wedding my mother will ever see from her children. My sister needs to date someone before she can get married. All we need is a single guy who isn't crazy and is very wealthy. She'll be single I while I afraid. Tim and I need our union to be legally recognized before we have any type of ceremony. Which means we'll be on our death beds before that happens. That leaves my brother, who is actually getting hitched on the beach. Cool huh! I wish Dave and Angela a long and happy life. Now give us some kids. Zoe is tired of being the only grabdchild spoiled at Christmas.
I haven't been to MB since I was in 9th grade, a mere 10 years ago.... (not a word from anyone!!!! I mean it!!!!) It should be fun. We have all day Friday and most of the day Sat to do whatever. Poor Tim is home with the babies. I secretly think he wanted me out of the house after being held in capitivity for the past 5 months. He basically pushed me out the door.
Before I go, I need to tell you all about "Wicked". Tim and I went on Sunday to see it. It is simply the most amazing show ever. The effects are great, especially the flying moneys and the witch flying at the end of act one. The songs are awesome. I went out and bought the soundtrack the next day. I liked it so much, that my friend Tamra and I entered the special ticket lottery to see it on Tuesday night. Tim went with us to give us a better chance of winning. There are 20 tix available each day before the show. 10 winners can buy 2 sweet seats near the front for $25. Tim's name was drawn. Being the sweet thing that he is, he let us go. It was even better the second time. If you have a chance to see it, please go. It is well worth it!!
Anyway, I'll be back blogging next week. Until then. Ariba-derki!!!

This is what Gay Pride month is all about.....
I read this story on Rosie's Blog. I think it is truly sad that this can happen here in the not-so-land-of-the-free!
OLYMPIA — Four months ago, Lacey resident Janice Langbehn, her partner Lisa Pond and their children Katie, David and Danielle, ages 10 to 13, were set for a relaxing cruise from Miami to the Bahamas.
But Pond, Langbehn’s partner for nearly 18 years, was stricken in Miami with a brain aneurysm and died. The family says the way they were treated by hospital staff compounded their shock and grief.
Langbehn, a social worker, said officials at the University of Miami, Jackson Memorial Hospital did not recognize her or their jointly adopted children as part of Pond’s family. They were not allowed to be with her in the emergency room, and Langbehn’s authority to make decisions for Pond was not recognized.
“We never set out to change the world or change how others accept gay families,” Langbehn told the crowd at the Capital City Pride on Sunday. “We just wanted to be allowed to live equally and raise our children by giving them all the same opportunities their peers have.”
While Washington is one of a half-dozen states to recognize same-sex partnerships in some fashion, Florida is not.
Compelled to speak out
Langbehn said that the pain from losing Pond is still fresh, but she spoke at the gay pride event Sunday because the issue of legal recognition of homosexual families was too important to let go.
“I want people to be able to hold their partner’s hand in their moment of death,” she said.
Pond suffered the aneurysm just before the R Family Vacations cruise ship left Miami for the Bahamas in February, Langbehn said. After Pond was taken to the emergency room, Langbehn said she was informed by a social worker that they were in an “anti-gay state” and that they needed legal paperwork before Langbehn could see Pond.
Even after a friend in Olympia faxed the legal documents that showed that Pond had authorized Langbehn to make medical decisions for her, Langbehn said she wasn’t invited to be with her partner or told anything about her condition.
She said she wasn’t allowed to see Pond again until a priest arrived to give Pond the Anointing of the Sick, also commonly known as Last Rites.
“I was shocked. It never would have been on my radar that we wouldn’t be allowed to say goodbye,” Langbehn said. “When I was an emergency room social worker at Mary Bridge (Children’s Hospital and Health Center in Tacoma), if someone had said they were an aunt or a partner, I would have let them say their last goodbyes.”
Langbehn says she still has not been given Pond’s medical records from the hospital nor her death certificate directly from the county or the state, which affected their children’s Social Security benefits.
But she has received support from the local community and from former talk show host Rosie O’Donnell, who has e-mailed her to offer support and said she was angry over the way the family was treated. O’Donnell’s partner, Kelli O’Donnell, is a co-founder of R Family Vacations.
Capital City Pride co-chair Anna Schlecht said that Langbehn’s story drives home the reason why gays and lesbians continue to lobby for national legal recognition of their partnerships and families.
“When Janice told me the story over the phone, I started crying,” she said. “Death is hard enough. I can’t imagine having my children barred from me in the last moments of my life.”
Langbehn said attitudes changed when doctors in charge of organ donation recognized Langbehn and Pond as a couple. They accepted Langbehn’s signature on the consent forms, she said. They also allowed the children to visit with their mother, who was kept on life support while organ matches were found.
Pond, who was a volunteer with her church and with the Girl Scouts, as well as a foster mother, wished to donate her organs because she wanted to continue to give to people after her death, Langbehn said.
“I heard from the heart recipient last week,” she said. “Now he’s able to play with his grandkids again and he definitely would like to meet our family.”

The Olympian
Tim and I have a living will and power of attorney, but I wonder if that will be enough. I would fight with all my strength to be with him if he needed me and I am sure he'd do the same. When celebrating Gay Pride this weekend, remember what we are there for. Sure the half naked boys are part of the fun (thankfully), but think of Lisa and Janice and know that we still have a long way to go.
Sorry for such a downer, I will perk things up on Thursday with a special Top 10 Boyfriends List: Pride Edition.

I see your True Colors shining through!
The concert was incredible. When you walk in, you recieve this snazzy ERASE HATE bracelet for the Matthew Shephard Foundation. It starts with Margaret Cho doing some standup and introduing the bands. She was awesome as usual. The first thing she asked was if were happy that Jerry Fallwell was dead. Sweet!!
The first group was The Cliks. I had never heard of them, but they were good.They did a rock cover of Justin Timberlake's "Cry Me a River" which was better than JT's version. Next were the highly anticipated Dresden Dolls. Again, hadn't heard of them, but most of my freinds had great things to say about them. The crowd went nuts when they were announced. They are theatrical, flambouyant, and fun. Quite an unusual group, I still can't get "Coin Operated Boy" out of my head. I'm not sure I love them, but I they were entertaining.
Then came on, as Margaret Cho announced, "an ICON" - Debbie Harry. I was very dissappointed with her. She looked amazing for being 60. But she did no Blondie songs and the crowd was obviously not into her. A friend of mine said she looked as if she was reading from a teleprompter. Come on Debbie, just one Blondie song would have been nice.
Then came the two acts we all were waiting for Erasure and Cyndi Lauper. Erasure was spectacular. I had never seen them before, but have been a huge fan of theirs. Andy Bell, the lead singer, was awesome. The crowd really got going with "Chains of Love" and "A Little Respect". They ended with "Oh La'mour", my personal fav. Fabulous!!!!
Then came the diva herself, Miss Cyndi. Tim and I have seen her 6 times previously, so we knew she wouldn't let us down. She sang alot of oldies, "Goonies R Good Enough", "Time After Time", and "She Bop". Miss thing came out with a red wig and wearing a rainbow feathered hat! Fabulous. The finale had all the artists together, sans Debbie Harry (hmmmm, wonder if she was pissed because we didn't like her), to sing "True Colors". It was simply spectacular.
The crowd was not so spectacular. In a town were next week, 100,000 people will line High Street for the Pride Parade, only 3,000 showed up for this event. Sad. The queens of Columbus should be ashamed. There is little hope of us ever getting another big show like this one in town anytime soon. SAD!!!!

Another Gay, Another Boycott
Gay leaders are calling for a boycott of "Hairspray" because, they say, star John Travolta's religion -- Scientology -- rejects gays and lesbians as members, and according to MSNBC, "operates reparative therapy clinics to 'cure' homosexuality." ...
Say it ain't so.... I really want to see Hairspray. Tim and I loved the musical when we saw it here last fall. I need to see how this one develops before I decide whether to boycott or not. Hopefully John(Tell me about it... Stud!!)Travolta defends himself, or will he just keep hangin around with those wacky Scientologists. OY VEY!!!

Venty McVentster
OK, I need to vent a bit. I still have not had one job interview. I have sent out roughly 100 resumes in the past 3 weeks, and still nada!! WTF is a Masters degree good for anyway. Finding a new career was the whole purpose of putting myself through the extra work and agony. Now I am wondering if it was worth it.
I have decided, after talking it over with Tim, that if I do not get any interviews next week, that I am going to find a job in retail again. Which sucks big time!!! Physically, I am healing but still at only 75%. I'm not sure I can even stand an entire 8 hour shift. But, alas, we need money. I have been off work since February. Luckily we have made it thus far. But this month I am not able to pay my cobra insurance payment (which means no physical therapy or continued recovery). So if I don't do something soon, the situation could could get worse.
I hate to think about going back to retail. The hours, the physical demands, and OH, the f-ing rude customers!!! But a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do. OMG, I'm starting to sound like Lothian, bitching and whining all the time.... wink wink, Lothian. OK, enough unpleasantness, I need something to make me happy and we all know what that it.... BEEFCAKE!!!!
MMMmmmm, That's better!!!

Paris and the Spice Girls
That's so not HOT!!! Paris Hilton is going back to Jail! While 
I am not a huge fan of hers, I am a bit torn as to whether she should be in jail that long. I know Drunk Driving is serious. And she does need to have consequences. She is clearly not stable at the moment, maybe so much as to hurt herself in jail. This may be shocking, as you all know how much I loathe Martha Stewart, but I have come to respect her so much more now. She didn't whine or complain about her prison time, she just did her time, and went on with it. I'm not sure Paris is that strong. I just don't want anything bad to happen to her. But maybe a few weeks in jail will help her become a better person. AT least a more popular and famous person, maybe we'll see the "Simple Life: Paris and Nicole in Jail". What hilarity!
Now onto the much more IMPORTANT news.... a Spice Girls Reunion Tour is being rumored to happen this Summer. YEAH!!!
My gay prayers have been answered. If only this becomes reality. OMG, Baby, Sporty, Scary, Ginger, and the diva herself, Posh, live!! It's almost too much to handle. Now if only Britney would tour, my big fat gay summer would be complete.

No more McBigot!!!
Let the celebration begin.... McBigot is gone. Yes, it's true, Isaiah Washington has officially been fired from Grey's Anatomy. Thank God, ABC listened to the fans. Grey's Anatomy will be much better now. The show wasn't great last season mostly because I couldn't stand watching McBigot make nice with George on screen. It wasn't believeable. You could almost feel the tension. The only thing that could make GA better is when we get back our favorite mini-skirt, high-heel wearing doc, Addison, once the spinoff "Private Practice" tanks. If the pilot was any indication, it should be off the air before Christmas.

Xanadu
Tonight, myself and three of my top hags went to see Xanadu at Studio 35. What a mess that movie is. But damn was it fun!!! It has to be one of the campiest movies ever made. Look at all the Razzies it was nominated for...Won: Razzie Award for Worst Director (Robert Greenwald)
Nominated: Worst Picture
Nominated: Razzie Award for Worst Screenplay
Nominated: Worst Actor (Michael Beck)
Nominated: Razzie Award for Worst Actress(Olivia Newton-John)
Nominated: Razzie Award for Worst "Original" Song("Suspended in Time")
Nominated: Worst "Musical" of Our First 25 Years
I can't believe there was a worse movie that year, but lo and behold, the Village People classic Can't Stop the Music was worse. Rent Xanadu if you haven't seen it, watch it again if you have. It's awesomely bad!
Cleveland ROCKS!!!
Sorry Michigan, you're losers once again!!! Last November, our beloved Buckeyes whipped your sorry butt. 
Thursday night, the Cavs beat Detroit (Pistons) and are poised to claim victory Saturday night and make it to the NBA Finals. And most importantly, my Indians are smokin' hot. They beat Detroit (Tigers)tonight after being down 11-7 in the 9th inning to snatch victory away from the Tigers with 5 runs for a 12-11 win. The Wahoos are 4.5 games in first place. I am going out on a limb here, but the Tribe is going all the way this year!!! Wahoomania is running wild!!! Now if only the Browns catch up and win for a change, all will be right in Buckeyeland! Then again, if all three Cleveland teams win, Armageddon is upon us.
