Because, apparently, Catisha feels the need to tattle on me...as to the reasons that I am a gay man. We have always speculated, but during the course of the evening (as I progressively became more and more drunk), she compiled a list as to why I am officially a gay man. Not a gay, perse.... but a gay MAN... Catisha said so
Two more things I would like to add...I just made this html link work and it thrilled me to NO END, *and* as Catisha refused to say, I am NOT a gay man because I cannot penetrate anything without the use of superficial aids. Her catholic soul would not allow that. My gay soul would.
OK...with that posted, I now respond to Seriously Flippant's tag. :)
The Rules:
1.) List three reasons why I blog
2.) List the rules (I'm so fast at this!!)
3.) Tag three other bloggers
!) I blog because it's fun. I like sharing my stories. I like the idea of pseudo anonymity. These two reasons MAKE blogging fun. I feel like only those that I really really want to read my blog will. And anyone else that I don't care about won't. This provides a certain amount of gleefulness at poking fun at those who will never read my blog and a GREAT amount of joy in sharing my ridiculous life with those who know me best.
2) I blog because I need to. Not because it's a necessity like my dear Hobbit friend. I blog because I need to get things out of me, sometimes. I have a tendency to bottle things up and I don't say things (so often) until it is too late. Blogging affords me the luxury of being open and relatively honest with myself with little danger of judgment from myself or anyone else.
3) I blog because I get a certain amount of wicked joy from it. I like bitching about people in the kindest, funniest way possible. I love everyone I hang around with...if I didn't like you, I wouldn't hang around with you. However, YOU do stupid things. I do, too...but, I'd rather blog about how YOU were stupid, than how *I* was stupid. Comprende? :)
I tag again: Catisha.
Were she to be reading my blog, I would tag AZ, because I'd be fascinated by her comments...as it is, I'm a stalker right now and will make my commenting move at some point. :) bwahaha.
God, I need to sober up.

Mon coterie
Katisha ("ka-TEE-sha") -- Current roommate, so dubbed during grad school, as an alternative to the Gilbert and Sullivan proper name "KAT-ish-a". Tends to think she is more ethnic than she actually is. Given her background in the ghetto, I occasionally concede and revel in watching her poke out her lower lip and get into shouting matches with women twice her size. Great fun to get crunk with and all around voice of reason. The yin to my yang...or vice versa.
BD -- My absolute best boy friend. Best spooner I've ever known and he makes one mean salad. Soul mates since the day we discovered a mutual affinity for Starbucks and Bernadette Peters. Current parental unit to the dog (he paid for, but *I* potty trained...after she shat on my clothes) we both love and adore. Some day in the distant future, he and Lil will make the move to Chi-town and life will be wonderful.
The Duke -- The middle brother. An apt name, as he is tall, silent, and a little deadly if he gets riled up. Doesn't hurt that he goes to the law school of the same name. Married young (to me), but happily so. I can't fault him. We decided when he turned 16 that we might be able to be friends, after all and that perhaps he's not quite the shithead I always thought he was. I love the lug.
Angel -- The baby of the family unit. Shortened from my nickname for him until he was 11 (AngelFace..which I am NO LONGER allowed to call him). Smart, funny, sensitive, romantic, musical, compassionate, gregarious...I can't say enough wonderful things about him. My friend once said, "*Angel* gives me hope for teenagers everywhere." Well done, kiddo.
Sally -- Brilliant lawyer-to-be, thus named for her part in the wonderful miscegenous marriage to Tommy. I wish I could credit myself with this likening, but the odd couple showed up at a Halloween party dressed like the famous duo. Slightly wrong? Yes. Damn delightful? Absolutely.
Buffy -- No particular reason for this moniker, except that this roommate happens to be blond. And really nice. And could probably kick vampire ass if necessary. Instrumentalist who puts up with singers. She's good people.
Fifi -- Another roommate. This one is from France. She tutors children and almost obsessively cleans our bathroom because it is "disGUSting"...her words, not mine. I think it's okay, but it's her thing. Also finds the phrases "sort of", "goddamit" and "-ish" absolutely hysterical and uses them to mock her "f*cking Americannes" when she can.
Impatience -- Tejas friend who always wants what she wants. When she wants it. If she can't get it, she whines, "But, I'm imPAtience." It's cute when you get to know her. Always good for a late night chat or online game. Also a voice of reason when I have issues. Also thinks she's a pirate on occasion.

Being sober is no fun. I am planning my next night of not sober. I haven't had one -- in 1.5 months. Gah. This needs to change.
Thanks for playing! Sobriety is, in fact over-rated.
Would you like me to make sure that AZ knows about you? She loves these sorts of things...
I'm tired of reading this one.
