I've got pride, baby!

So, it's June, which means PRIDE!!! I've been decked out in my rainbows and getting out there enjoying the various pride events in the area as much as I can. Granted, it hasn't really been all that easy, what with working 2 jobs and going to class 5 nights a week for 2 hours a night. But, I at least have been getting out there on the weekends with my bff, Jes. If you happen to see us out on the town, you'll see us out having a blast! It's great because a lot of time people ask us if we're together, to which she replies "I'm his hot, lesbian sidekick and he's my homo-chaun." It really is quite hilarious to see some of the confused expressions on their faces. We're just out there having fun! The homo-chaun reference is the best. I'm like a lucky little leprechaun for her when we go out, and since I'm gay, we just mashed it all up together and came up with homo-chaun! Pure genius, really.

I recently moved to Albany and I'm really glad that I did. It got me out of a roommate situation that had definitely soured and put me closer to work, therapy, and other activities that I take part in. I'm using less gas, but it's not like my car was a gas guzzler. Plus, I'm getting out and walking more. The park is a great place to take my wonderful pup, or a lot of times just a walk around town with him is nice. I have a back yard that he can go play in, but it's in serious need of some TLC. My apartment isn't the biggest, or in the best part of town, but it's all mine. Before leaving the old apartment, I sat down with my old roommate and told him exactly why this was the best thing for me and how I felt about how we kind of grew apart as friends. It wasn't really growing apart, but rather he found a girlfriend and couldn't be bothered with anyone else. Nice guy, huh? Not to mention that I thought he was a rude prick for having sex with his girlfriend when he knew I would be leaving for work in a short period of time. I mean seriously...he couldn't wait 1 fucking hour???

Okay, moving on. I've been meeting some really awesome people since I moved, and I hope to continue meeting more. I don't know how many gay transmen there are in the immediate community, but I'm thinking that it's not a lot. I did manage to meet a couple this weekend and really enjoyed talking to them. Great couple of guys! I'm definitely putting myself out there. I'm not looking for anything in particular, other than just to have a good time. Still, it would be nice to make that great, lasting impression on a guy. Some guys (and quite possibly most) can't get beyond the whole guy with no penis thing. As if that's all there is to a guy. Thankfully, those guys are doing a perfect job of weeding themselves out for me. Because let's face it, if they can't accept me for who I am, then they most definitely do not deserve someone as wonderful as I am.
