Now that it's all said and done, I can't believe you were the one to build me up and tear me down...like and old abandoned house. What you said when you left, left me cold and out of breath. I fell too far, was in way too deep. Let you get the best of me.

About me: I love social justice and working for gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender equality. Without my friends, my heart would shrink immensely. I dare to love passionately. There is no other way. I breathe life, I love my friends, and I love to have a good time with the people I care about most.
*****
Should Love's heart rejoice unless I burn?
For my heart is Love's dwelling.
If You will burn Your house, burn it, Love!
Who will say, "It's not allowed"?
Burn this house thoroughly!
The lover's house improves with fire.
From now on I will make burning my aim,
for I am like the candle:
burning only makes me brighter.
Abandon sleep tonight; traverse for one night
the region of the sleepless.
Look upon these lovers who have become
distraught
and like moths have died
in union with the One Beloved.
Look upon this ship of God's creatures
and see how it is sunk in Love.
Mathnawi VI, 617-23

Thanks for checking it out and let us know what you love!
Are you still thinking of coming to see me the 22nd through the 28th? Let me know so I can use some vacation time. We can go to SF and see a drag show!
Just wanted to say I LOVE YOU CUZ!!!! And I cant believe how bad it hurts that grandma is really gone, its the craziest feeling in the world....I love you always dont ever forget.
I'm really not ignoring you on purpose. My life sucks at the moment. My grandma had another stroke and is dying in the hospital. She is getting transferred to hospice on Saturday. My Uncle died last Sunday so we're going to the memorial on Sat. My poor family is falling apart. I heard about your Grandma...I'm so sorry J. As soon as life calms down I promise to make a visit to Starbucks to be a hateful customer and DEMAND my latte a certain way!
I'm sorry I've been such a bad friend. I don't mean to be. I've been so busy lately...my friend's mother died the day after my birthday and I've been trying to be there for her...so we've been going to dinner several times a week...drinking profusely...etc. I PROMISE we will hang out!!!
Happy Birthday!!! Mine is a day early as well because myspace blows and thinks telling us a week in advance will help us remember the actual date. whatev. Have a great one!
