I am so happy to report there have been many many changes!!! I bought a house!! I will setup a page titled my house so you can see the pictures. I am so happy with the house! It is just like the cute little houses in the heights I love so much!
I am still working at my software company and I am so happy there. I highly recommend finding a job where you like the people you work with... Since you spend your time more with these people than you do your own family you better like everyone there alot!! I will add home pictures as we update the house. My next project is now Home Projects. I have done some painting etc etc. The next project is HOME INSULATION! I am spending a lot of time and money in HomoDepot!!! Well, Actually I like Lowe's better. There is just something unappealing with that ORANGE!!!! I will write more later!!! PS... We are heading back to New Orleans in February!!! Yeah!!!

Anyone else out there... if you are unemployed there is hope!!!

Hi! Everyone!! How is it out there in Cyberspace?? Well. I finished my classes. I opted out of the college thing and went to a trade school for computers instead. I ran out of money in the middle of it but I stuck it out. I have not finished my computer certification test because.. well.. I ran out of money to pay for the tests. But I did sit here and beat my head against the wall looking for a job. Man!! It is tough out there. With all the lay-offs in Houston... and then all the closings down here in College Station.. it is tough out there!!! Thank God though I did find a job!! I start next week. It is a big increase in pay for here in college station. It pays to go to school everyone!!!! Next I want to get my dag gum degree!!! Wish me luck.. that is the next hurdle!!!
I finally went to the Rainbow Ranch campground. It is sort of cool. I think a little expensive but the RVs you can rent are really cool too! You should try it. Tell them Tonya Hughes sent ya!! T.

Hi! I am back again. I am having a bummer day. I am getting stressed out. My company laid everyone off... filed bankruptcy and I have enjoyed not working for awhile while my checks were still coming in from the severence pay but damn!! Now what? Workforce is going to assist me with "re-education" in a needed career... the best part of that is I am getting a technical computer education for free!! Yeah! But How in the hell is one suppose to support oneself when your classes are scattered through the whole day at weird times? And I have to keep a full time class load. This is something I know I can handle.. but I am just nervous.. it has been so many years since I have really been back at school... and it is sort of nerve racking.
Which since I am freaking out.. means that I need to sit down and focus. I need to set some goals and start working at something. I did a great job painting the outside of the house while I was off and getting the lawn in shape.. but now I gotta find the right job and great prepared to hit the books!
For anyone out there who makes the decision to return to school I salute you!!!
PS... We went to Houston Gay Pride Parade!!! When I get the pictures developed and scanned I will put them on here for you! ;0)
02/23/01
I am getting lax at this aren't I??? Sorry so long.. I could have sworn that I wrote at New Year's.. guess I was reliving New Year's 2000!!
Here I am working and working and working away!! I am in that mood again.. I just wish I could find something FUN to do!! I want to go back to Houston and spend some time just being GAY!!!! There is so no gay life here in College Station.. and I work so much that if there were.. I sure as hell would not know about it! If there are any fellow Lesbians in College Station that just want to hang out and do lunch or dinner or BBQ or anything please email me and my G-friend!!! And I promise I will get some of the pictures from Key West and our scuba diving adventures out on the site with in the next few weeks!! We have some cute ones! (of course that is all relative!)
Well,I have some bad news. One of my friends from my going out days in Houston has passed away this past weekend. She was cool and a lot of fun. She died in a car accident this past weekend after only a short time of meeting her boyfriend getting married and buying a house. She finally settled down and a sensless accident has to happen. I am sad about that but what struck me the most was Brucie being left alone. I had not idea how to handle it or what to say. I just could not say anything. And, of course, the big picture got to me. The sadness of being left behind when a loved one passes away. All the pain you feel, the things you have to get ready, and the sudden massive shift that has to go on in your life. It just blew me away. I am still sad as hell.. I wish Bruce all my heartfelt wish in recovering from this and taking away only really happy memeories. Love you!!! T.

Again it has been so long since I have written. Much has happened since I last wrote to you! We did go to Marble Falls with some friends and co-workers of mine. We had a great time on the lake.
But best of all I have worked very hard since our last writting to save a ton of money to go on a great vacation. Since my Wife took me to New Orleans to give me my ring we have not really been on a fantastic vacation. We have been on weekends camping and scuba diving in the lakes around Texas. So we decided it was time to get out of town!!
we saved and worked and planned a trip to Florida. We drove to a spot near gainsville florida called High Point. In this little town is a spring called Ginnie Springs. We went scuba diving in the clearest of water. We went down the water into a clear basin. Then we went thru a hole into a cavern. Our flash lights lite up the whole room. It was exhilarating and intoxicating at the same time!
Then after three days in Ginnie Springs we headed south to Key Largo. We spent the night in a hotel had some not so decent sea food and got up the next morning to KEY WEST!!! It was a long long drive but well worth it. We stay in a lesbian bed and breakfast called Perl's Rainbow House. The place was great although the manager was a bit rude. Our room was a bit small but there are larger ones there. Our room had a hot tub right outside the door. We pretty much had the court yard in front of our room to ourselves the whole time. that was nice. The B&B is down a side street from duval and a bit of a walk to Mallary SQ.
We went up and down Duval looking at everything. We bought some great art work and even met the local artists. I bought a series of watercoler sunsets in key west at different times of day. I really love it! Milli bought some prints of coast and a light house and another print of a house down there. We went to Sloppy Joe's, Hemmingway's House and his six toed cats (Well his six toed cat's decendents still live there!), Ripley's Believe it or not, Mallory Square at Sunset.
One of the coolest thing we got to do was the Thursday Night All Women Sunset Cruise!! We had an all women crew too! The only really bad thing was that My camara did not work!! But it was a beautiful sunset! We had all the champagne to drink. We sailed all around the whole southern half the island and back. It was really exhilarating!! I recommend that sunset cruise to anyone who goes to Key West.
We went snorkeling another day on the same huge catamaran boat like the sunset cruise. The waves were little huge but it was a nice ride out there.
I highly recoomend trying every one's Key Lime pie! They are all different and great tasting. I think I had at least five different versions. And everyon's conch fritters taste a little different too!
All in all .. it was a long drive but A Great Vacation!!! Next I want to plan.. P Town!!! Will let you know if it looks like we are going!

It seems like eons since I have had a moment to even look at this page much less update and care for it! I am excited! I am going to Marble Falls Texas this weekend to a cute lake house to rest and relax!!! I have been working 56-70 hours a week forever! I do mean this literally! OK I will stop with the exclamation points. I feel like I am so excited I am yelling in my head. But seriously, Milli and I are both excited about going. Since our last advanced scuba lesson to lake travis we have not gone anywhere much.
We did however go see Ellen Degeneres in Houston. She was so funny. I did sneak in a camera.. one of those disposable kind.. damn.. Ellen is the size of an ant. You can not tell if she is estelle getty or Ellen! really! she is so small in the picture! So here I am going to insert a few off the net. Too bad Anne was not there!! ;0)

Hi! It has been so long I have much to say! Milli and I finished out scuba lessons.. it it was one hell of a trip! We went to Lake Travis in February! It was so damned cold. We had to scramble around and look for wet suits to fit and thick enough to protect us from the 55 degree water. We got there and unloaded all the gear and saw the cold water. The water level was down so we had to go down two flights of stairs just to get to the water!! Our class was me Milli and three young zero body fat college guys. and all in all they were very polite.. not much fun mind you! but nice guys. Well we unloaded our stuff.. froze while we put our suits gear and 30 lbs of weight on. We struggled because we were so loaded down and padded with the thickness of our wet suits. The hoods and gloves were cumbersome! we finally got to the bottom of the stairs were we then had to put on our fins and mask and then jump right in. COLD water seeped inside the suit. Up my back inbetween my booties and legs.. damn!! It was COLD!!! The visabilty was only maybe 12 inches! We then had to do our little check out dive excersizes. It was cold Milli's lips were turning purple after awhile. I could tell by the look on her face she was thinking what inthe hell am I doing out here! I kept assuring her to just get through these two days and we will be ok. I have never dive under such horrible and hard conditions.. I have only dove under wonderful warm water conditions just get through this!! She was a trooper. She got throught these hard conditions and these difficult excersizes. Under normal conditions they would be a breeze but really this was hard! There was a strong current and the navigation dive was difficult. The masks were foggy. The visibility was so close that a few times while we were out there swimming around panic struck me becuase I thought I lost her! The suits ill fitting. We had to do a buddy air share dive and when it was time for me to take her regulator she gave it to me and kept motioning that she wanted it back. The dive instructor and I were confused but she still kept motioning to us. I gave it back and he motioned again it was my turn. He then tested her octopus regulator and realized that her air was not working properly. She only got one breath of air then water. So we shared mine for my turn then went up top to check it out and fix the problem. There were fish down there waiting to be fed. So there must be many divers who go down there and feed the fish. Tell me what will they do when there are not any divers to feed them if the divers feed them. I do not htink I support interacting with the environment like that at all!
We also went one weekend to the Comal River near New Braunsfel with the scuba club. It really nice. We went up friday night unloaded the camping gear and the scuba gear. We put up the tents and started the fire for the crawfish boil. We got into the water around 10pm and dove for two hours scavanging for crawfish. and we were hoping to find some treasure left behind from tubbers going down the river. Well.. we did see some huge crawfish but we could not catch anything. We had our wet suites on and not enough weight to get to the bottom easily. We did not find any treasure but the water was so nice! Milli got her first nonclass room dive. IT was a nice dive, a night dive, a river dive, a scavanger dive and a drift dive all at one time! We got out around midnight. The guys caught about 50 crawfish. I cooked up some awesome deer sausage (and I never thought I would say that!) with tortillas and the crawfish. As naughty as this is we drank beer hung out around the camp site talking with everyone. Finally we went to bed around 1am. The next day we went out down the river instaed of staying near the camp site. We still looked for tubber treasure but again no such lock. I do think I saw a beer can that looked like it had been there since the 70's. Finally we got out near the tube chute! It was a really great day!! I highly recommend it and I know we will do that one again for a quick weekend! Please email me and or sign the guest book and tell me about your adventures!!

Isn't it strange to put 00 for the year when you write checks?? I have made some serious booboos let me tell you! When I write the date now it looks like a kindergartner wrote it instead of the usual messy doctor like scribble I write out! whew!
Well.. how was everyone's Christmas and New Year's??? I got the greatest gift for my girlfriend! I got her scuba lessons.. ok so the fact we are doing them the end of January was not so great but.. She loved it! Now we can plan vacations and have a really fun specific thing to go do! Hehehe We are already planning a weekend in Austin at Lake Travis to practice before the big trip. Then the end of March Beginning of April we are going to Belize to go scuba dive the blue hole! And we will stay on San Pedro.. Madonna's La Isla Bonita! ;0) I have been to the country before and it is beautiful and I am sure much has changed since I have been there.. But hopefully the spectacular water has not changed much!
My wonderful Wife got me a new mask snorkle and fins.. not to mention the wet suit she got me for my birthday! Isn't she great! The best thing I love about this woman.. she indulges my fantasies! ;0) It does not get any better than that! ;0)
We have already talked to my mom and everything and we are planning a trip down the South Pacific together as a family vacation to dive Palau, Truk and the honey moon island Ponnapei. I am so excited! It was my first dive trip.. and it will spoil my wife like it did me.. but we will get a few trips in before then I hope. I am dying to do Key West, find all the great family spots, hang out where Hemminway did at Sloppy Joe's (I spent my Bday there a couple of years ago and it was fun!) go to Kelly McGillis restraunt, and see that Christ statue underwater somewhere. That will be fun! Hopefully my friend Shannon and her new girlfriend will take a weekend trip at that time and meet us down there! Any body got any fun interesting vacations or ideas or suggestions please do not hesitate to email me and let me know! I promise I will email you back!
And as far as New Year's I did not want to do anything specail but be with my Wife! I did not really want to hit the bars where they would be way over charging for everything! We went out to her cool straight friend the vet.. AMY. She has a cute little place west of Houston with Horses, dogs, a few cats and a big bird who screems the dog's names out loud.(He is truely funny!) I think the bird gets upset because no one listens to him enough when he yells to the dogs to get out of the house. ;0) Well. I think there were a total of 30 people there and we had a huge 20ft high bonfire we kept blazing all night. When we started to run out of wood close to midnight the drunkest of the drunk loaded into two pick up trucks and headed I have no idea where and loaded them all up for me to tend the fire. My poor wife was so fucked up. Cute adorable and slurring her words as she said I love you.. Usually I am the sillier drunk one and it was cute watching her let her hair down.. you should see the hat I picked out for her.. she was wearing all night long with red rosey cheeks.. it was truely funny! I did walk in to the house on occasion to check out the fire works there.. and wasn't Paris so beautiful! It was perfect! But our little bonfire was cool! with some drunk ass throwing a ton of fireworks in it! But you know me I had my trusty hose near by in case anything caught on fire! I finally went to bed sometime around 2:30.. but my wife came crawling in around 4 I think to bed.. whew! I could smell pure alcohol.. i felt so sorry forher.. because she had to feel so sick!!! But the next day she was chipper than I and roaring to go! How does that happen that way??? Please email and tell me all your New Year's stories! ;0) Would love to hear them!

Well.. this is for my nosey friend Jessie.. who wants me to hurry up and update my page! Tadah!!! Here it is!!
Well. on November 23rd 1999 I took my girlfriend Milli to the Melissa Etheridge Concert for our Birthday! (Jessie do you remember the one we went to?? And why weren't you at this one?) My Birthday being on November 30th and her's being on December 2nd.. just like my friend Jessie! ;0) And guess what! It was a great present for both of us! We got 2nd row seats!!!! YeHaw!! And just to the right side! And when she sang the wonderful golden oldies.. Bring Me Some Water.. and I am the Only one!! I swear to God it is no lie!! Melissa was right there.. If she had sweat it would have dropped right on us!! She strummed that guitar like you could not believe and I swear she looked at us!! Well.. I think she was looking at me.. and my girlfriend thinks she was looking at her.. so it must have been the fact we are such babes.. she was looking at both of us! ;0) And now that I am an OLD married woman.. I just am not use to staying up like I use to.. and as embarasses as I am to say this.. as it was getting late.. I yawned.. the most embarassing part is Melissa looked RIGHT AT ME.. and then pointed her finger and motioned it at me. I could have died! I was mortified at the thought she thought I was bored.. but I had worked three straight days in thirteen hour shifts... if Only I could explain!!! I AM SORRY MELISSA!!! LOL
And the funny part is the week before my girlfriend broke her toe the week before.. i was worried she would get trammpled during the concert but Jones Hall was really nice! Especially from the second row!!!
I would just like to say.. it was a fantastic present for both of us!! ;0)
And besides the concert my wife did something extremely special for me.. because I am such a romantic.. she did something so cool!! She snuck the New Orleans Madis Gras 300 anniversary poster we got when we ran away for our honeymoon and had it professionally framed for me!! I am such a romantic fool! It looks so great and she just does not know how special it is to me! Right in the center of the poster is a castle looking building which is actually jackson sq church where we took our picture together in front of it! I love my wife!!!! ;0)

I have been here more than a month now.. and I am so exicted about being here.. things are so changed in my life and I am happy. Life is simplier and more peaceful. I think somewhere in the american dream they forgot something in their teaching of what should make us happy. Simplicity and Peace. With a big emphasis on peace. I think a lot of people out there do not even know what that is.. peace. I know i have family members who do not know what it is. They search for the opposite looking for happiness.. and then they are so unhappy with what they got.. and they wonder why.
I have started a new job and it will do while I go back to school. I am excited about it!! I really am!! I found out my employer pays 70-80% of tuition.. so I am going to stick it out trying to work full time and go to school. Wish me luck.. and may the homework Gods bless me!!!

HI! I have packed my stuff and crammed it into my girl friend's place and now I am totally moved here to College Station, TX! You know when you must prepare for something like changing your life totally there is a lot of fear from disappoining everyone else in your life.. but once you assert yourself and make the changes you want to make.. it is amazing how free you feel. I also went on a job interview this morning and i think it went really well. I am pretty sure I got hte job.. it is just a matter of dotting the i's and crossing the t's.
The house is stuffed with both our household stuff in here.. really cluttered.. but after we create some more storage and put up a cabinet and make a few changes.. a litte dejunking.. we will be fine I think.
Now comes the hard part of meshing our routines without killing each other.. Do you have any funny stories to tell me about that when you moved in with someone? I would love to hear them.. please email me.
I left my job in Houston friday.. and I just cried all the way back to my house. I did not expect to be so emotional about it. I neve got so worked up about leaving a job before. I work with my family so I guess that had a lot to do with it.
Next step will be to enroll in school for next semester. Get some of my business ideas up and running. We will look for a bigger place for later.. but I sure would dread moving again.. this just about killed me!!! In case you are reading this honey.. I love you and I am so glad to be living with you finally! I think once we get over the settling down part.. we will be really happy together!! I love you!! T.
09/09/99
Hi Everyone! Well.. I did it! I have packed up my stuff and now I am relocating to College Station. We have two house holds crammed into one.. so I guess some serious de-junking will begin shortly.. and maybe a huge garage sale. Has anyone else had this happen? What did you do about deciding to get rid of stuff? And how did you keep from hurting the otherone's feelings? How did you part with that one junky trinket you love? What are some of your funny stories about moving in together? I would love to hear all about it!
I think it will all be so exciting. I have never really moved in with anyone full time without roommates or what not around. I feel like I am taking it to the next level.. it is sort of makeing me nervous and excited at the same time. I feel like I am approaching my wedding day or something.. whew!! I hope we can tolerate each other every single day.. and night!!! Now I guess all those little pecadillos will really show up.
I am sure that I really will be happier than ever. It just is so new to me! So what did everyone do for splash??? Tell me! I spent the weekend moving.. so I did not do much but nurse my bruises!

Hi! How is life going out there in cyber space? Well I hope for all who might travel through here. We have now celebrated our one year anniversary. I personally can not believe it. I have never been in such a relationship and actually got to have it last!!! My beautiful roses my wife planted for me were not to bloom till next spring.. would you believe that they bloomed the weekend of our anniversary? Tell me that is not cool!! And for my anniversary I got the loveliest lillies.. and someday hopefully I will remember to take them to my office so that I can think of my wife everytime I see them. I bought the coolest silver braclet that I have yet to get engraved with something simple. Got any Suggestions? I am thinking that the infinity symbol would be nice.
Guess What!!!! I am going to start school on Monday the 23rd! Yep. I am going to the local junior college to start taking computer classes. I am so facinated with the net I think I would really like to study web/computer/business classes. I want to take a lot of computer classes.. and I would like to take some entreprenuer classes with business classes and a few horticulture classes.
Eventually, this may sound silly, but I would like to have our little place with an awesome computer system, maybe a horse or two, a great green house and a couple of businesses we can run out of the house. Together we would like to run a growers/nursury business. We would grow small plants for retailers. Maybe something computer related too.. and a good 10 acres to putter around on.. not too far from Houston or Austin.. And both seem apealing for different reasons.. and to just get to that place where we can just breathe!!! We again this year will be headed up to Austin for Splash 99 on Labor day weekend. We will be headed to Hippy Hollow and camping on the lake. It is really fun! I suggest you all go!!! I will update you afterwards. Have fun!!! PS October 10th 1999 will be EMPOWER 99. A big lesbian gay hoopla at the George Brown Convention Center in Houston. It will support Gay Lesbian businesses/chamber of Commerce. Might want to look into it.

Hello! It seem time does fly when you are having fun! Time has flown by since my six month anniversary! We have been so happy and I have made the decision to move in with her! And since our New Orleans weekend it seem like just the other day! Mid-June and I will be living in College Station and commuting to Houston for my job. I had thought about the options but now things are going so well at work.. I basically have no idea what in the hell I am doing! I just want to be with her and other than that I could really care less! We have thought about starting a business but we would need to save some money to get that perfect piece of property where we could start our plant nursery. We think we might have found it. So what is your opinion? Should I just commute for awhile so I can make the proper down payment or just shuck it all and go back to school. I will eventually go back to school... but I so dearly want a cute little place where we can settle down and Just be happy. The money potential for me at my current job is fantastic! So I am not sure what is the best thing for us to do speaking in terms of long term...
You know speaking of my wife... I wish I could convey to you how wonderful it is to find someone you can be with in an environment of love and respect. No games. Really great compatibility and a wonderful relationship where we both are inspired and encouraged to grow. I always new it could be like this.. but everyone seems to have so much baggage bullshit and do not have the courage to be open and just have a good time being who they are with that special person. Why is that? I love my wife! (I know you will eventually read this and I do love you honey!!!) I hope every one is well and will drop me an email on thoughts ideas etc.! Thanks!
02/22/99
Hi Everyone!! Would you believe 2/7/99 was my six month aniversary! ;0) and do you want to know what my wonderful girlfriend did? She emailed my boss and asked if I could get off work early! Then she picked my up from my house and wisked me off to New Orleans! We stayed at a reasonable little Gay Owned B&B called "The House of David." (If you should go tell him Milli and Tonya sent you!) And while we were staying in New Orleans watching the Mardis Gras festivities and celebrating our six month aniversary.. my girlfriend gave me my wedding ring! ;0) We even took pictures in front of the church in Jackson Sqaure! Hehehehehe We had such a wonderful time! And there were so many gay boys and lesbian girls! And the rainbow flags were flying proudly through the mardis gras festivities and the decorated streets! I must admit the boys did the best job of decorating their patios! hehehe
01/08/99
Hi Everyone! Yesturday was my girlfriend and my anniversary... 5 months since we first met! Well.. the big Christmas surprize was.... Tadaaaa... A gold commitment ring.. or would it be a commitment to promise to spend the rest of our lives devoted to each other and a promise to have an official marriage ceremony when it means something to everyone? I do not know.. I hope she does! ;o) I also got her a cute little Christmas ornament that has 'Our First Christmas Together' on it, and a robe to keep at my house with some nick nacks for the stockings. My girlfriend collects Horse type figures... so I hid the ring inside a cheesy caste iron bank. It was a painted relica of the old collectible kind.. it was so UGLY!!! I was hoping she would have enough time to look at it and think I had the worst taste! But I could not hold the secret long enough.. I had to hand her the skrew driver to open it up immediately! I took her to transco tower waterfall in Houston Tx. It is the best place to ask someone to marry you.. if you should have the chance to go I recommend it! Stand in the middle at night and look straight up.. you will swear you are flying! I am not sure if I ever got the words right.. but I think she got the message.. I am usually so suave with words in those romantic type situations.. but I swear I was a bumbling idiot at that moment!
The Christmas holidays over all were great! We actually made it through with out any negative stuff going on between us.. but I can not say that about with everyone else.. I hear if we do that well with each other.. the rest of the year should be a breeze! Yeah.. because the holidays were wonderful.. Except she had to go to her mom's and I had to travel to Buffalo New York to mine! It was cold and it did snow.. I told my mom come hell or high water.. next year my girlfriend and I will be going to New York for Christmas! It was so sweet My mother said she would have a new bed in the bedroom for us!
My mom has come a long way and I am so very proud of her! ;o) My mom has taken this in pretty good stride. My girlfriend... (hehehe I would like to say my wife! ;o) is the first girlfriend my mother has met! So.. I think the three years since I have come out.. she has grown wonderfully and become more supportive then I could even have imagined! (I would like everyone to know I am standing up and giving my mom a standing ovation right now! ;o) I hope everyone else had a safe and happy holiday as well! I will keep you updated!
12/07/98
Hi Everyone! It is my girlfriend's and my 4 month anniversary! Yeah! I am so happy we have made it this far with out any fighting or anything! We even survived a major holiday with family and friends! We spent 5 days together and no fighting! I have never been able to spend 5 days straight with anyone with out getting so terribly sick of them! This is a major break through for me. Guess I am finally with the right person... hehehe (I know you are looking at this honey.. and it is true!)
Since she is reading this most likly I guess I can not let the world in on my Christmas list for her. But if any of you know me.. it is so hard for me to keep a secret or keep presents for very long. So I have been giving her little ones here and there on the weekends. I just can not help myself. I love this girl and would love to give her the world if I could! So I guess i will have to let you in on the surprize after I give it to her... the presentation is the best part! ;o)

Hi! Everyone did you hear Kate Jackson said it would be great if the movie industry did another Charlie's Angel movie? Yep! She said it would be wonderful.. but she has no intentions of being in it.. oh well! For you Kate Jackson fans.. sorry but she will not be doing a guest appearance I guess!
Everyone I want you to know.. I am happy to report you can find romance and a real relationship on-line! My new girlfriend in College Station and I are doing great! It is rough at times having a long distance relationship.. but exciting and rewarding having to work so hard to see each other! It is about an hour and 20 minutes drive between Houston and College Station. At times we both feel exhausted and pulled in many directions... but well worth it I think (and I hope she does too)! Since our first meeting August 7th... it has been wonderful! So I want you to know... it can be done! But please becareful when meeting and talk about real stuff before hand so you can at least see how a person thinks.. and talk on the phone.. meet in public at first.. before you procede.. I have met a few women before my girlfriend.. and they have not all been dating material! So I do warn you please be careful!

Well.. this past weekend was the big weekend! My mom got to meet my girlfriend! It was the first time I ever really brought anyone for her to meet.. and the first time for her to meet a girl since I have been out.. and the first time my girlfriend was introduced to family members as a lesbian girlfriend... and I must say I am so proud of everyone! Everyone handled everything so wonderfully! It was grace under pressure! I think I was the more nervous then the two of them put together! My new girlfriend met my mother, my sister, my two neices and my cousin! It went so well.. I will have to think of a wonderful surprise for her as a treat for her courage to meeting my family! ;) Do you have any suggestions?

SPLASH 98 In Austin Texas!
It was fantastic! Hippy Hollow in Autin Texas! The party barges and camping at the state park... it was great! I have been trying to go there for Splash for three years.. and finally I got to go with my new Girlfriend and her friends from College Station! There were hundreds of people clothed partially clothed and totally naked sun bathing and frolicking in the water and listening to the music from the party barges. I was burnt to a crisp and exhausted from the trek down to the rocks.. but it was all well worth it. The funniest part was watching the intoxicated boaters try to get their boats out of the water in the dark.. it was a truly funny experience! If you have a chance to go to first or last splash.. try it in Austin at Hippy Hollow. It is beautiful and a lot of fun!

You know.. You never know how life is going to surprise you! You resign to stop looking so hard and just get on with your day to day life because you are so tired with all the BS in the bars and all the people playing games on the computer... and the computer gods decide to grace you with meeting a really special person. Someone who is a delight and totally unexpected! How can someone you just meet affect your life so much and touch parts of you that have not been seen by anyone (nothing sexual intended but could apply! ;) Women are wonderful! ;)Keep you posted!

What fun plans do everyone have out there in the Lesbian community? Where do you find the best places to meet women.. and if you do not mind sign my guest book and tell me the best meeting places and you favorite pick up lines!
One of the best ones I heard from a wonderful beautiful woman in Houston is "Fuck me if I am wrong but I know you want to kiss me." I planted the biggest kiss on her... and i regret that! I should have just said.. "No, I do not want to kiss you!"
Well the events I have described from 7/9/98 have slowly resolved themselves. The police got involved with the bleach attack situation. Two Girls are biding their time till they can get out.. but they do realize they need to get out of the unhealthy relationships they are in. And the suicide attempt person is now seeing a professional. This are looking calm now for her, but I do not know if they are all that healthy. Hopefully she will work these things out. As for myself.. I realize there are situations, even though I care about these people, that I can not solve everyone's problems. Hopefully I just can be supportive and offer a hug and a shoulder to cry on... But only if I am strong enough to handle it and remain detatched. I know it is a fine line I will have to walk.

I am here today under such confusion and anger. I am sorry to start this under such circumstances... But maybe this is what prompted me to start this page.
It makes me so very angry to see such violence in the world!
This weekend I saw so much violence and hatered and insecurity on the 4th of July. I can help but wonder if the wold had gone mad!
In one night just about everyone I know who is in a relationship got the shit beat out of them or tried commiting suicide... I think for the first time in my life I am extremely happy about not being in a relationship!
Most of the people I am talking about were heterosexuals with very jealous mates. But the sad thing is a few of them were Lesbians. Some how once I came out I thought that would be so much less in the lesbian relationships. I realize I am so very wrong on that one!
This weekend I saw so much violence between partners.. and I just can not see how this could happen if you love, honor, understand and respect your mate! These fights started over nothing.. and I am so very serious about this! I watched one girl cut her wrists and refuse to let me help her as I am begging on the kitchen floor kneeling and covered in her blood crying. One girl's boyfriend slammed his girlfriend into someone else for just talking to someone and then dragged her accross a glass laden street by her hair. Another girl was attacked by her boyfriend had bleach poured all over her hair and clothes then pushed to the ground as he tried to force her to drink the bleach! Two others just had the crap beat out of them.. and I am just so shocked, pained and slightly numb to the intensity and craziness of this all!
What do you do? How do you help these women? How do you heal from this yourself? It is all so very insane! And this all happened in one single night!
If you have any suggestions or comments.. please.. please sign my guest book and let me know! What should I do for a girl who stays in a relationship that makes her feel so very insecure she could not even live with out her girlfriend? What do I do with a straight girl who is locked in a relationship with a man who is so jealous he would try to beat her up and her ex-lesbian friend she talked to ocassionally? What do I do with a sister who's boyfriend is so very sadistic he would literally throw her out of the house and set up an ambush when he orders her to get her few belongings from his house and tries to kill her with bleach? I do not know the answers.. I just know the world seems to have gone very mad.. and I feel like the only sane one left!
