The Utah AIDS Foundation recently asked me to write about HIV from “a young person’s perspective” for an upcoming newsletter. As tomorrow is World AIDS Day, I decided to share it here as well:
Since I was born in November 1980, I don’t know a world without HIV. It’s always just been here.
In elementary school, the [...]

For the first time, writing openly for such a potentially large audience (note potentially large audience) is a little scary, and I don’t know why. The subject matter hasn’t changed or anything, but I’m nervous anyway. Hopefully I won’t regret sharing.
Anyway, I think I’m having an identity crisis again.
I’m experiencing the paralyzing indecision again [...]

God, it’s happening again already. Can you tell how thrilled I am?
Uh-huh. That thrilled.
So, yeah … it’s my birthday. Twenty-four years ago today, I very unexpectedly entered the world.
It’s the only time in my life I’ve ever been anywhere early. Eight weeks early, in fact. I’ve been late for everything since then so it’ll all [...]

My email was down the whole time as well, and apparently messages didn’t bounce back to senders - they’re just lost. So, if you sent me email on Tuesday [...]

My cute boyfriend has just discovered Josh Duhamel, gorgeous hottie from NBC’s Las Vegas.
I first discovered Duhamel in 2000 when I was browsing at a bookstore and saw him - nude! - in Greg Gorman’s book As I See It. I didn’t know at the time that he was an actor on All My Children; [...]

Though I live in the state that elected Bush by the largest margin of any place in the country (71% for hell’s sake!), I’ve decided I’m over being depressed, I’m over being pissed, I’m even over being annoyed. And I’m not moving to Canada.
Italy, maybe. Or Greece. But not Canada. If I’m moving, it’s [...]

The silence was a combination of things. Aside from the crazy new job and schedule, I was also overwhelmed with all I had to say, so I was procrastinating in an area of my life where I safely can.
Not that I don’t love you.
I even have a half-dozen half-written posts waiting to be completed.
But [...]
