All that said, does anyone feel a huge struggle to, if not "fit in", just feel as if you don't belong anywhere specifically? I guess those two may mean one in the same, but...I know I'd never try to become something I'm not, but do you ever feel at times as if you don't belong even in the groups of friends you do have?
Just wondering stuff lately, I guess.

Naked
If I
Could strip you naked
I'd see all the things
That you don't
And some you'd wonder
How anyone
Could see them
At all
It wouldn't be
About size,
Girth,
Or mass
If I
Stripped you
Naked
I'd see
Only the insides.
The mind,
Soul,
And heart
The most vibrant soul,
Brilliant mind,
And biggest heart
Ever
I like what I've seen
Underenath it all
I love it when
You let me see
You.
Naked.

I'd thought that it was going to be just another movie where the mother of a child who is gay just doesn't "get it", but I found out that4 it's so much more.
Bobby is a boy in high school who knows in his heart that he's gay, and he goes through all the motions to appear straight while knowing inside all along he's living a lie. The "catch"? He's from a severely religious family, and to come out as gay would be "bad". Sorry for the shortcutting and bobbing and weavign here in the story, but he comes out to his brother first, and his brother says he'll keep the secret, but he ends up their mom "What would you do if you found out one of your sons was gay?" She's mortified and doesn't believe that one of her sons is gay and comes to use the phrase "what you've become" when talking to her son, and he says "What I am."
Bobby ends up killing himself because he can't handle the stress of all his family's disapproval and being disowned. Little does the mom know that...even though counseling didn't work, he went to church where he is accepted, because (as it turns out) the minister is gay, as are some of the congregation.
The mother blames herself for Bobby's death and wonders if Bobby and God will forgive her, and she becomes an advocate for gay rights and speaks to groups, etc.
Sorry for the messily told story, but here's my point. Prop 8: I wanted to do a video post, but no webcam, so no go there. I've got people in my life who don't get that I'm gay and why...Doesn't matter. I just know that I am. What I wish more people understood is that people aren't asking for much...Just that their right to live their lives as a couple be understood, recognized, and honored, and that the same rights afforded to straight couples be upheld.
"If that's done, then what will they want next? Pedophilia legal? Bestiality?" is one thought a friend of mine had. I know that folks aren't asking for THAT. It's not like their asking to live like it's Babylon and all is free game. *sigh*
I over-vented. I want to thank folks here who help me to see, be, and love who I am more and more each day (you know who you all are, I hope, but if you don't...ask)

I got evaluated as "High", and my supervisor said to me that I provide him with all the information he needs "in a timely and efficient manner. You've always got the infomation I want when I want it. Thank you for all your excellent service help."
I got a warm feeling in my heart that I haven't had for awhile, and based on that alone, I believe it will stick with me for awhile :)

Oh...there's the contest element too, see. The boxes of food are weighed, and the highest three wights win a prize, and things are judged in respect too to the department's size. Some floors have fifteen to twenty nurses, but the transport or volunteer departments only have five to ten. Switchboard has nine people in it. And there's also money that can be donated along with (or instead of) food.
From what I understood from the flyer, food is measured in (duh) pounds, BUT...for every fourteen cents donanted, it counts as a pound, so if someone donates a dollar, it's like seven pounds of food ($1.00 divided by $.14 = 7, if my math is right.)
Switchboard has $350.00 cash in the drive plus the food, so I think we're well on the way to a victory, and I do know and believe that the victory is in giving more than the prize, but I feel we're so disrespected that...*sigh*...it's nice if you can get even "mini-props" for something. I did the math out, and the $350 gives our department 2500 points. The contest ends November 24.
I babbled. Oops. Hope you all are well, and thanks for reading :)
