I went to bed at 7:30am this morning. I slept maybe 3 hours and I still feel like my batteries were charged. Wanna know why? I spent the weekend in Helsinki and went to a gay bar with a friend. I feel slightly hangover but no nausea or a headache. I can't remember the last time I went to bed at 7:30am. Is it Pride week yet?
And I even skipped the Finland bronze medal game today. Who knew?

Bipolar gay news day
I woke up this morning to the news that Amendment 1 had passed in North Carolina defining marriage as between a man and a woman and banning civil unions as well in that state.
The this evening I get the pleasant surprise of reading that the President of the United States, Barack Obama, who previously has said that marriage is between a man and a woman came around and said he now supports full marriage equality!
That is awesome and for a news day, especially a gay news day, so bipolar.
But as happy as I am about Obama changing his mind, I cannot help but think of this as a political move. The presidential candidates now are as far apart on civil rights issues as they possibly can. Romney the ultra conservative mormon, and Obama supporting marriage equality. I just find the timing curious.

Interviews
Within few months time I went from looking for interviews to being the one doing the interviewing. How crazy is that?
Life works in mysterious ways! And the shit storms end eventually. I'd like to offer more profound knowledge and words of wisdom but i'm gonna sound too out of this world (and not me), so I'll end it here.

Pay Day
Pay day is probably the happiest day of the month. It certainly is my favorite right now. The days following pay day can be dangerous. I may or may not have bought some new stuff, all needed I might add, to the cats, or for them. Was able to stay under 100 though...
Grocery store was bad too. Had a list that would have come up to about 20 euros...went just a tad bit overboard. But all of the things I came home with were on my endless list of things to get so basically I am just making that list smaller. I don't necessarily need to get ALL of them right away but it makes me happy. I haven't been able to get myself anything for the past 2 years so this is much needed retail therapy to get myself over the poorer times.
I was also able to reduce my debt to R2. He lent me the money to fly to Finland 2 years ago when I had to bring my broke ass home and he's been so patient with it. Good times!
