Dykes from Howell Well we tried to repeat Halloween fun last night but it wasn't so entertaining and fun, more of a let down really. I ran into someone from my old high school in the Fleetwood yesterday, I want to say Karen Anderson but I am not too sure about the first name. She lives in the co-op across from Hillel on Hill St and State and we had a nice chat about her forming the gay-straight alliance at my school. I don't remember her very much but I remember her girlfriend who was really cool and into art and just plain awesome. anyway, for all those of you not graduating from Howell...Howell is a rough place to be different and to be gay takes a lot of balls. She left for Community High in Ann Arbor after a year and I don't blame her. I told her that I wasn't sure about my sexuality at the time I didn't come out even when I was because I was having a hard enough time as was (my whole school hated me and that isn't an exaggeration) and being gay would have just made them crucify me all the more. She took a lot of shit for starting the gay-straight alliance and just generally being gay there, even if only for a year, and I am amazed that she lasted that long. People would spit on her, throw gum in her hair, key her car, scream homophobic things at her, trash her locker, and generally abuse her. The KKK hated her guts and their supporters pretty much made her life hell and as she put it, once she got to Commie High and joined the alliance there she realized that Ann Arbor doesn't need that sort of shit, everyone here is gay. "Try being openly gay in Howell...now THAT's hell." Anyway, she invited us to her co-op party and I told her that I was a dyke and gave her my number and such. I have no idea if she will ever call but it could be cool if she did. We never made it to the party. We went to Ashley's and had a few beers which did nothing for either of us and ate some bar food. Good stuff but spk was depressed about being ripped off for weed and got back into his funk. I was wearing my cock out again but it wasn't so fun this time so we went home to drop off the food and stayed there for the evening. I have to clean a bit more of the house today and read 80 pages to do a summary but I am not too worried about that. It won't be too much of a pain to do, just have to crack on it tonight. He will probably go home and work on his laundry some more. I am slowly getting out of the funk myself but I have problems still. I hope he can too. Went to the Northside Grill today and the food is good but the prices are expensive. That is all. Daphne |
