I put on a ton of sunscreen and I still got sunburnt. Go figure.

Have the animals shut up yet? I haven't really been paying attention. Mostly I keep my headphones on so I don't have to put up with their singing or whatever.

It's so annoying.

There are new pictures of me modeling some of Peter's clothing in the newest magazine of.. whatever. I forget the name. Vogue maybe. I think I look amazing.

Who wants to take me to dinner? I need company.

That moment you work out that your family members aren't the only ones in need of therapy. Hello, Valarnet, today's been AWESOME, why do you ask?

My mother rung me up and I had to remind her that no, I'm still not going to get married, even if I can marry 50% more of the population now.

My brother informed me I need a vacation, so what would you all recommend? Any interesting places you've been in-state?

The very first order I received this morning was from a pair of grooms who wanted me to design two suits for their wedding.

Very pleased indeed.

I just witnessed the most adorable thing in the world during my break. As a result of the marriage equality news today, Peter Pan proposed to Aladdin in the middle of the break room. They've been dating almost as long as me and Huck and everyone knew it was coming eventually, but since California was being an asshat until now, they were waiting. The best part was that Aladdin wasn't even expecting it. I'm so incredibly excited for them.

God, some of the things I've witnessed in our break room would probably have some parents outraged. I love it.

Pepper, I can walk with a cane now. I'm making no promises about it not being needed to walk down the aisle next week, but I promise to wrap it in tulle or something, okay?

Why is it that everyone seems so genuinely surprised at whatever fresh hell this place dishes up? I've barely lived her a month and I'm already jaded.

So it's been a while since I've played live for an audience with one thing and another in my life. I'm changing that this weekend though. I'm playing at the coffee house on [street name] Saturday 12-2.

Come along if you wanna have a listen, few covers, few new songs. No tomato throwers thanks ;)

So, this new singer at the coffee house on saturday, who wants to come with me? And then for some drinky-poos afterwards of course! ;)

So there was me looking forward to a fairly quiet week at work next week...then I get this email with like a million meetings listed on it! Oh well, looks like it'll be a week of short lunches!

Lockdown's complete. This place is essentially a giant safehouse.

Wow, my dad in my dreams is kind of an asshole. My mom told him I was gay, even though she promised she wouldn't and he threatened to call the police on Brian since I'm only seventeen in the dreams. Then he threatened to send me to military school and slapped me after I got in a fight at school. And to top it all off, he somehow found out what kind of car Brian drove and rear ended him, giving him a concussion.

It wasn't all bad though, cause I met up with Brian's lesbian friends and I wound up selling some of my art at the Gay & Lesbian Center's art show. Then for whatever reason I decided to get my nipple pierced. Apparently I thought Brian would like it.

For those of you going to Pride, we're gonna be meeting at [airport Gaz's jet is at] Friday afternoon. If anyone needs a ride, let me know.

I grew up in Portland, Maine, but somehow, I never became aware of the North American Wife Carrying Competition that was annually held in Newry, about two hours away. Apparently a couple wins the wife's weight in beer, and five times her weight in cash.

I do accept that that's a substantial weight of cash. It might be the only sport I can see a point in, though I'm not sure I'd try it myself. ... I mean, I have no wife, but still.

Anyone else get the sense that the world is crazy? Like legitimately crazy. I've spent the better part of my life believing in fate and destiny, thinking that people are inherently good. And I suppose I do still believe that, in fact I'm pretty sure it's true, but the fact is sometimes this world seems just so random, so incredibly cruel, that if there is destiny and fate it's too cruel. Too horrific, and that it needs to be random. No 'fate' could really put anything on this road.

Sorry, just venting. One of the kids I talked to just found out they were diagnosed with cancer. How does any kid deserve this?
