I was a teenager when I learned never to trust a man who vows to pull out.

Ted Leo & The Pharmacists | The Toro and the Toreador


But did I see some value there, or am I going blind?

Everyone wants body counts, and I just want to cry.


Good news: Seeing Ted Leo tomorrow.
Bad news: I am very displeased with the President’s announcement about Afghanistan.


this song has been played 9 times.

“On December 1, 1955 in Montgomery, Alabama, Parks, age 42, refused to obey bus driver James Blake’s order that she give up her seat to make room for a white passenger.”

Lesson: Small acts of courage can become turning points in history.

Do you know where to get tested?
If you live in the US, you can text your zip code to 566948 and get a message back with the name and number of the nearest HIV testing center. Try it right now!

"…of those who are currently HIV-positive, one in five are living their lives unaware that they are carrying the disease."

The White House Blog, reporting that 21% of people infected with HIV in the United States do not know their status.

So… when’s the last time you got tested?

December 1 is World AIDS Day, a day for raising awareness and inspiring action on issues surrounding HIV/AIDS.
More substantial posts coming shortly, but here’s a portrait of me from a 2007 World AIDS Day photo shoot.

Thanks, tweetcloud, for allowing me to reflect back on my last three months on Twitter- Which can apparently be summarized in part by the words “taco fuck time.”
Can’t you see why I love Twitter?

Thanks to the Ben Folds and Rufus Wainwright cover, I have fallen in goddamn love with this song, and I have been known to belt it out at inappropriate times.

DON’T STOP
BELEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEIVIN’!
(I was just thinking tonight that I want to karaoke as soon as my voice comes back. Of COURSE I think of this song.)

This Thanksgiving, I am thankful that I am not pregnant, and furthermore, I am VERY thankful that I’ve made it through nearly 28 years of life on this planet without ever once getting knocked up. I love you, birth control!

I am also thankful for my family.
Even if they annoy the fucking piss out of me sometimes, at the end of the day they’re the only people who would gladly wear t-shirts with my face on them. That’s got to count for something, right?

I am so, so thankful to be a nurse.
And not just because I like sticking people with needles.

I am very thankful for the internet.
Without it, I probably wouldn’t be able to touch you people.

Probably the single thing I’m most thankful for this year:
My friends.*
Okay, so they’re not a “thing” at all. But they are a group of wonderful, funny, fun-loving, talented, wacky, supportive, beautiful human beings, and I am so incredibly lucky to have them in my life.
*To my friends not pictured: I still love you but I only had a 5”X10” canvas in Photoshop and I had so many pictures to fit in it. You’ll be in the next collage, promise!
