THE QUESTIONS
1. Why do you think you are such a downer on your journal? (we're starting with the big guns here)
I find that my journal is most therapeutic when I show the emotion in it that I don't show day to day. It's objective in a way, because after reading what I've written, I have a better understanding of what I'm feeling, almost as if the person writing it was completely detached from the situation. I think the fact that I've been a downer is the product of my mood in reaction to events in my life. I feel sure that when I get my house in order, my journal will start to look more positive accordingly. I'm looking forward to it.
2. You're very honest about your fear of confrontations. What part of your personality or history do you think dictates such a fear?
I don't know where this question came from. I am absolutely not afraid of confrontation, as a matter of fact I would go so far as to say I thrive on it. Greg probably knows this better than anyone else (he's rhetorically challenged). I've always said that I couldn't be with someone who can't handle an argument with me. Any boyfriend of mine needs to be able to dish it out just as well as I can!
3. Besides me, of course, who is one person you admire socially and why?
Chris Jones. This should be understood without ANY explanation. For those of you not fortunate enough to know him, he is wonderfully funny, witty, and cute. He's famously fashionable, incredibly compassionate and kindhearted towards his friends, and dedicated to his art. Not to mention his astounding confidence, he shines when he walks into any room. The definition of a social butterfly. Those of you who do know him, thank your lucky stars.
4. If you could star in a movie, who would you cast as your supporting ensemble?
Ryan Short, to fire all the writers, and to make sure I looked nothing short of fabulous at all times. Chris Jones, because every movie needs a token black guy! Not to mention that he can put a smile on my face like few others. David Spielman to ensure that my movie contained ample portions of both intelligence and wit. Kyle Turner, because what would my movie be without drama *and we need someone who can stand up to the str8 people*. Lastly, Ryan Haggerty, because at least one of us needs to APPEAR straight!
5. A recycled question, but how has being friends with your current group changed your personality for the better? For the worse?
Lets cover "For the worse" first... Something I hoped never to be seen as is stuck-up. Then I came out. It's impossible to be a member of gay society and not at least try to weed out the trash. So while most would consider that "For the worse", I don't. As far as "For the better" goes, I really feel like this group has given me greater confidence to be my own person, and shown me that, hard to find as they may be, there are great people in this community. This group has inspired a new level of respect from me, and I plan to hold on to them.
