things i learned at christmas...

1. i will never go to the top of the arch on a windy day ever again. that was fucking scary.
2. st louis gay bars can be fun. some even have dragqueen bingo.
3. when i was thirteen and my mom was diagnosed with cancer, she asked my dad if he would take care of me and my sisters if she were to die, and he said no.
4. drew has a passionate distaste for organized religion.
5. if you were to watch home movies of my birthday celebrations from ages thirteen through seventeen you'd think i was an arrogant, controlling, little megalomaniac. and having just done so myself, i'm afraid i have to admit that you'd be right about that.
6. the greatest feeling in the world: showing your boyfriend your hometown (and embarrassing home movies) and having him appreciate everything about it (and about you) that is special and loveable. rednecks, fundamentalist christians and megalomania included.
