THAT WAS FUCKIN FANTASTIC!! The first Gay Pride Parade in thirty years and I was there ... YAY ME!!! My friend Oscar who I used to work with sucked me in to carrying a letter for the people he was marching with. So for the duration of the parade I was a radio presenter on Aqueerium .... of which I carried the M, as shown here. ANYWHO, despite this, I had a blast, I had the rainbow flag painted on my left hand and freedom written in Kanji going down my arm and then I had the bisexual flag on my right hand. I had to get david to paint it for me because I am right handed. They looked really cool. There were so many different kinds of people in the parade ... there were the bears ... they were kinda scary, all hairy and shit, not my type ... then there were the dykes on bikes, they were kewl .... then there were the proud parents. We were waiting for someone to say something mean and for the whole procession to change direction and go over and stomp them into the ground ... but it didn't happen. This was slightly disappointing, but good I suppose. So there we were marching down King William Street, as pictured here, when I look over and see some people from our school, that was pretty funny. Luckily they were nice people, so no dramas there. I think some people probably thought it was a pageant rehearsal, hehehe. OOOH!!! on the way up to Victoria Sq. we were walking along and I look down on the ground and there's this little pink thing ... it was a dead baby bird, it looked so gross. So we kept walking and next thing you know, down drops another one from the sky ... this one was kinda blue, making it twice as gross. Anywho, so now that the parade is over, we sat on the grass for a while, then we made our way into the opening night party, that was pretty cool, Jordan and David had a few drinks. I mingled a bit. I got lost lol, had to wander around on my own looking aimless for a while, but that was interesting and funny. Eventually we saw some familiar faces, I popped over to say hello and got the usual onslaught of hugs, I love my gay friends, they're so friendly. As per usual Kane didn't show up, this was a tad disappointing, the last time I saw him was the day after Shelly's birthday back in April, when he drove me to Flinders so that I could catch the bus from there. Kane is lovely, he's my second wife. I saw my first wife at Feast, she still thinks I'm a lesbian and that I'm trying to turn her straight lol, Adam is so small and cute, I just wanna roll him up in a lil ball and put him in my pocket. Speaking of pocket, when I went to the toilet, there were all these signs on the walls advertising some even put on by an organisation called pocket, they are all about lesbians. I found this slightly amusing, because when you dream of a shell or a pocket, it means you are thinking anout vaginas lol. Isn't that interesting. And while we're on the topic of vaginas, david set a challenge for Michael, Rachael, Juliette and I, we were to hook up with someone of the same sex and the first one to do so would collect $5 ... I found the girl .... I saw her accross the room, it was amazing, then I turned around and she was gone. Maybe she wasn't there at all. This wouldn't surprise me in the least, but oh well. Then I thought I saw her again, but it might have been someone different. Something tells me I'm going to be very lonely for quite some time to come. ANYWHO!!! back to Feast, Michael went home and Juliette and Rachael started hitting it off, I think they'll hook up AND I bet Rachael will miss the last bus home. She tried to buy alcahol at the bar .... but looking 12 years old doesn't help her any, she got carded. I say sucked in. From now on I will be making a further effort not to mention her at all, I shall purge her from my life as though she never existed and maybe if I concentrate hard enough, she will cease to exist. One can only hope =O). So that's my report for today ... oh wait, I had my Physics exam today, it was kinda funny, I chose the essay about nuclear fusion and the proceeded to write about nuclear fission. Oh well, serves them right for making them sound so alike. I suppose I should have read the questiuon better ... too late now. I should pass anyway and I'm not freaking out, so this is a good thing. Ok, it's now 12:33 and I'm supposed to get up and go to the library tomorrow to study with Annie, should be interesting. Good night my rainbow faries and hairy bears. =O) ... PS, here is jordan's eye!!
