My biggest concern

     Tim broke his tooth today, and we have absolutely NO proper medication locally. We have to wait until tomorrow morning to schedule an appointment, so I went straight up to work and told them they'd have to find a replacement. Tim comes first before work or anything else.

     In other news, I've FINALLY gotten all of my college information in and received my schedule! I'm so excited, I could almost burst... except for the fact that Tim's hurt. I know it's not my fault, but I feel so helpless. I suppose there's nothing more I can do.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     Any-who, onto the Gaga-ness. Today, before Tim's tooth broke, we were eating at Pizza hut and I overheard the girls in the next booth talking about us. They weren't rude or anything, they were actually quite giggly. That started off a conversation...

"I wonder why girls think gay guys are so hot." I wondered aloud.

"I think it's because of the challenge." Tim replied. "Some girls think that they can change us."


     I thought that was a very interesting concept, partially because I understand it. Tim told me that he prefers "straight-acting" guys as to the feminine types, and I'd have to say I agree. I've never understood why, but I've ALWAYS crushed on the straight boys, almost to the point of infatuation (that is before Tim came along). It makes total sense that I would like them, because of the challenge. I knew good and well that these boy liked girls, yet I still pursued them.


     Well, being in Gaga-mode, I also thought of her newest video... "Alejandro": (sorry about the size, I can't make it fit...)

    


     Now this video definitely shocked me when I saw it... But Gaga's original intention, when writing the song, was to describe the wonderful relationship between her and her gay friends that she so longed for in a romantic relationship.  She explained it is about the "purity of my friendships with my gay friends, and how I've been unable to find that with a straight man in my life. It's a celebration and an admiration of gay love - it confesses my envy of the courage and bravery they require to be together. In the video I'm pining for the love of my gay friends - but they just don't want me."

     Although, I can see that, the video covers MUCH more ground than explained, the topics ranging anywhere from "Don't ask. Don't tell." to sex addiction. It's all about how much you know. Nevertheless, I love her. She is a great artist who's vision is inspiring.

  1. There's definitely that sense of liking the ones that are off-limits. It's such a pain in the butt.

    I'm sorry about Tim's tooth, but I was waiting for the story of how he broke it!
