yesterday couldnt have been more perfect if it were a dream sequence.
pride is like gay new years eve, what a party! the parade was an absolute blast! i loved all the different countries that came out to represent (puerto rico, columbia, taiwan, peru, russia, etc.) learned about some really cool organizations, did you know that the boy scouts of america practices discrimation against gays and atheists/agnostics? also that many native american tribes honor their gay and transgendered family and friends and regard them as high spirited and sacred, using the term "two-spirited" often. so anyway

after the parade we went to this mexican restaurant which i fell in looooove with. i havent been able to find any decent mexican food in nyc until now. the food - service - margaritas - decor, love it! i must go again very soon. they even have an all you can eat night on mondays for only 10.95 and i dont even know of any other buffets in nyc..so after that we walked around christopher st were it just was a big old gay party in the streets. we ended up going to this bar/club called monster. too many long islands later, i found myself singing billy joel at the piano bar. UM, ME SINGING IN PUBLIC SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN. thankfully dani found me and took me downstairs to the dancefloor and we danced the night away. there were these really cute french boys dancing with me and i couldnt understand a thing they were saying except "work it girl, work! work! work! work!" oh and i did.
on the way to the train we stopped by papaya dog and i had cheese fries and lifes just the best.
tonight after work i went to a screening for the wackness and then went to a chinese owned dominican restaurant. just few months ago, i wouldve been at home, not leaving the house for daysss, im so happy to be living life again. there was this suicide hotline group in the parade and i was so happy i almost cried because i remember all the years i was depressed and struggled with suicidal tendencies. oh and i almost cried with the gay cops too. im way too damn sentimnetal lately. seriously it needs to stop.
oh i got my pest offense today! i havent seen a mouse since the last time but i can hear them and its not me being paranoid. hopefully they will be long gone from here within the next few days. my mom is coming this weekend!!!!! and rodents in your home is not something you used to in texas. im super excited about my mom coming like im losing sleep over it. this will be her first visit for me. not only that but! she is going to be here when steve gets back from north carolina. ofcourse ive met steves parents, steve has met my mom but NEVER have this particular situation happened before. OUR PARENTS MEETNG EACH OTHER. weird! im thinking my mom can cook some ethiopian food and we have all dinner in the apartment. i cant imagine what the conversation is going to be like. steves family is sooo different from mine. i give him shit about it but i really envy their relationships but anyhow i know his parents will be kind they will just be in for a surprise hehe..
