One of my favorite shows…including Antony Starr and Ivana Milicevic, drag queen/computer hacker/ninja Job, tattoed hunk Kurt Bunker (if you like that kind of thing, and most women and gay men do, the hard as nails beauty Lili Simmons, and joining the cast is Eliza Dushku, who I love (who most gay men know from Buffy). Saving the best for last, the great love of my life Ulrich Thomsen is the super villain Kai Procter, who will kick yer ass! I love him soo much. John Jernigan-Thomsen

Flashback Friday, to 1993

This bed is on fire with passionate love
The neighbours complain about the noises above
But she only comes when she’s on topMy therapist said not to see you no more
She said you’re like a disease without any cure
She said I’m so obsessed that I’m becoming a bore, oh noAh, you think you’re so pretty…

Caught your hand inside the till
Slammed your fingers in the door
Fought with kitchen knives and skewers
Dressed me up in womens’ clothes
Messed around with gender roles
Line my eyes and call me pretty

Moved out of the house so you moved next door
I locked you out, you cut a hole in the wall
I found you sleeping next to me, I thought I was alone
You’re driving me crazy
When are you coming home?

Yeah, you never said a word
You didn’t send me no letter
Don’t think I could forgive you

See our world is slowly dying
I’m not wasting no more time
Don’t think I could believe you

Yeah, our hands will get more wrinkled
And our hair will be grey
Don’t think I could forgive you

When one day some DJ’s declared
“Let this House be progressive”
And progressive house was born

I drove to Ocala to place nine and one year old siblings in their forever adoptive home this evening. I feel really good about this case. It’s especially rewarding because we battled with the Guardian ad Litem program, who were advocating to split the boys up, because they didn’t feel the nine year old was adoptable. The brothers are laughing and playing and singing songs. I’m taking them to their forever home, with their new mommy and daddy, and I’m Feeling Good!

What Type of Person Are You?

I took Bitecharges’ quiz “What Type of Person Are You?” and I am:

ENLIGHTENED
You are in love with happiness and nature. You want every one to have a joyful and fulfilling life. You enjoy peace and serenity but are also exceptionally adventurous and overall jazzed about life!

Wishing I could enlighten myself into finding a boyfriend though…Clark Gregg maybe?

I want a little Sugar in My Bowl…

My Friends, Books

My best friends are a French bulldog, a Boston terrier, my television and books. On days like today, when it’s raining, and I am feeling sad and lonely, I will curl up on the couch with my two best friends and escape to the Codex Alera, to House Baenre in Menzoberranzan, to Krung Thep, to Kashyyyk. I will escape my grey reality to go on exciting adventures, happily losing myself in my books, if only for a time.

The Gay Road Less Traveled

A friend of mine who used to be one of the hard working under appreciated social workers for the State here in Pensacola has written a book now available on Kindle, John Jernigan’s “The Gay Road Less Traveled.” I purchased it tonight to start it, couldn’t out it down, it was so funny. Graphic, real, and hysterical, John’s writing is endearing, funny, smart and if you happen to be drinking coffee, it may shoot out of your nose at some point during one of his vignettes. You can read it on Kindle.
