A couple things that stuck with me while I was browsing through my blogroll last night:
Kris mentions that a number of his “real-life” friends have begun blogs, friends who until recently had not a clue what a blog was or how to “have” one. I’ve noticed a similar trend lately, with many friends and even some family jumping on the blogwagon. I’m working to keep my cynical side from announcing that blogs are now mainstream and, therefore, officially “so over.”
Alina made me laugh with this:
Do you ever go over to hotornot.com and just give everyone high scores? Because they’re obviously screaming for some externally validated self-esteem? And save your ‘10′ scores for the really uncomfortable, sort of dorky ones?
You totally should. It’ll make your day.
That is all.

You’re so cute to read my silly little blog. I’m glad I made you laugh!

Nick, over the last 6 years I’ve spent many an hour on hotornot rating the fuglies a 10 and the hot people a 1.
It calms my jealousy.

Actually, I usually score everyone between 1 and 4, this way I piss everyone off…correctfully devalueing the fuglies, and devalue the hot guys because they are losers for needing a score from hotornot.

Yes, I’ve gone to hotornot many times and given every one a 10. I think everyone has something hot and beautiful about them, even if it isn’t apparent in a jpeg.

Read your comments. I am a gay mormon, ex’ed officially.It was a tough call to leave the comfort zone but I was always the one who dared to cross the line. I finally made a move and stand. In one of my meetings I asked,” Which came first, the Priesthood or the church?” The GA answered,” The Priesthood”. Then the church is just an appendage, I asserted to which he agreed. Then you cannot take my Priesthood away in a church hearing, just restrict me from using my Priesthood authority in the church! ” That is right,” I then replied,” I can then form a new church with my Priesthood despite what you say.” “He agreed and added, ” That would be unwise because we would not recognize it.” I then replied,” Oh, I thought I held the Priesthood of God and God gave it, NOT from the church!” He hesitated and then said” Yes, you are right, we are all accountable. The church is temporary.”
We spoke at length and he finally said that he could not help me. I found it odd that someone who professes to have to true Priesthood could not “help” me. even after 22 years of hard labour trying to change and be straight, I dared to ask the question:” Heavenly father, I recognize that I am gay, I am attracted to men and have always wante to love them, is that ok?” The answer was a resounding “YES” inside my head and heart at the same time! I told this experience to the GA who was astounded and said he could not speak against what I had said because the spirit bore witness to the truth of it. He then said” Brother N, I have to enforce church policy, that is what I am here to do.” I replied, then not only are you deaf, your heart is hardened, and I have my answer on my direction for sure.” The rest is history. I walk alone inmany ways, if I need the Priesthood it is always there for me, as is God.

Hey all of you, I too am a “gay mormon”. Raised fundamentalist by convert parents, had a rough time coming out, and live way out in the “mission field”. I decided to start (or at least re-start) my blog to tell a little of my story. I should tell you there is little worse than being gay in a family of mormons who converted from baptist.
