boston pride 2010

Alright, so I know I said this blog wouldn’t be too closely focused on my personal life. However, my weekend was fairly blog-worthy. So…I’m going to break my own rule and go on a rant about my recent activities. On Thursday night, Hilly was in Boston looking at apartments, so she had planned to crash at my house. After grabbing some delectable crepes, Hilly, her new roommate Jen, and I drove over to J.P. to the Midway Café for Queereoke. That’s right. Queer Karaoke. Needless to say, it was fantastic. Hilly and I did a lovely rendition of Somethin’ Like That by Tim McGraw (our own shout-out to the M&Cs). The country kinda killed the mood, except for one awesome guy rocking out in the front and singing every word.

Saturday brought the Boston Pride Parade! My supervisors over at Planned Parenthood invited me to march in the parade with them, and told me to bring friends. So, Mia and I dragged our butts out of bed to be over in the South End by 11 am. After getting all decked out in rainbow boas, tiaras, sparkly sunglasses, and PPLM t-shirts and filling up our bags with STI treatment pamphlets and safe-sex kits, we were ready to go. We were lucky enough to have some sort of drum-group behind us, so we always had a steady beat to dance to. It was totally awesome! Even though we got poured on at the end of the parade, seeing everybody so excited and decked out for the parade was totally worth it. Here are some pics from the event:

I had so much fun that I’m actually shipping over to NYC pride on the 25th. If anybody’s gonna be in the city, give me a call! That’s all for now. But since I’m being all personal today, I might as well address my readers personally. Here’s the deal people. I know you’re reading. You just aren’t submitting any questions or comments. I have a little graph that shows me exactly how many people are reading each post…so I know I have readers, but a little love would be appreciated.
