Right now, I’m dying my hair a mix of “Mystic Heather” & “New Rose,” doing dishes & laundry, and waiting for Angus to come over. Tonight, A. & I will dress up fancy, eat delicious food, hang out with my beloved brother Aidan, watch New Year’s Eve unfold in the Castro, and toast from the bottle of pink champagne I impulse-bought at Rainbow last night (I have never bought a bottle of champagne before, but I dunno, it was pink & that seemed right). This is all very good. :)

Also, just sayin’: 2011 ended up being a great year, despite the many bumps along the road. So much love, joy, & success came to me, in addition to a clearer sense of myself, my calling, and my life’s work. I’m humbled & very grateful for the lessons of this year, for all the big & small adventures I’ve had. And I’m really excited for what’s next!

Also? THANK YOU to all the friends who stuck by me, held me, lent me your ears to listen, your shoulders to cry on, your sage advice, your beds & couches. Thank you to everyone who fed me, went on long rambly walks with me, and generally reminded me to take care of myself and to be the best Gina I can be. I love you all.

Cee-Lo Green in ASL. EPIC WIN.

Queers so made this commercial! “Heteronormative masculinity is funny. Also, I’m on a horse.”

Okay, he doesn’t actually say “Heteronormative masculinity is funny.” But he might as well have.

(Thanx, Lori+Guy+Steven, for the tip.)
