Flying squirrels and such

I know I've been focusing on the Forssa Pride Party a lot lately and really, why not? It's awesome and one of a kind and bringing out the best in people. It's totally who you know and asking for help. The gay community is coming together.

I'm not writing about FPP right now though. I realized that I've neglected to post about my kittens. I guess they're not kittens anymore though. They are turning 14 months in 9 days. So adults who just look like kittens. They both weigh about 8,8lbs, 4kg. Somehow I thought they'd be bigger by now. But they are happy and healthy and not at all over weight so it's all good in the hood. Right now they are taking a little afternoon nap. They were outside in the balcony for about an hour in the morning. It's getting rainier and colder outside so the hour long outings in the balcony will come to an end soon. Or I'll have to dress up. I will take Brooklyn outside to play in the snow when it comes, I'm sure he'd like that.

But anyway, I uploaded 2 video's of them on Youtube. For the past 3 nights me and Dunking Donuts have played fetch the bottle cap before bedtime. I'm laying in bed and throw the cap to DD and she goes and gets it. In this video Brooklyn is also going after it while DD watches but when he doesn't come back with it, DD goes and gets it herself. "Don't let a man do what a woman can do better herself", or something like that DD's thinking there.

This unfortunately is quite dark but you can see DD though.

I've mentioned how Brooklyn thinks he's a part cat, part dog and part flying squirrel. Well, here's a video to prove the squirrel part. Brooklyn doesn't let things like heights to come between him and his destination. If there's nothing to climb on, he'll fly...or jump. I think he has a little bit of an engineer inside of him. Takes after his mama. So proud of him!

Interview

So, to promote the Forssa Pride Party I did an interview with a local independent magazine. That was published today. It's obviously in Finnish but here's the link anyway. My picture is also on page 5.

I gotta say I'm little nervous about going to work tomorrow. I have been as open about this as I can without actually saying anything with my rainbow bracelets and tattoos but so far no one at work hasn't said anything. I think that will change tomorrow. Let's see how many conversations suddenly ends when I walk into a room. Both of my bosses know and I told the head of our department that it was happening so he knows. And I guess I need to keep my eyes open when I'm in public to see if anyone has any reactions. Guess it's too late to take it back now, huh?

Shit you should have let go years ago

(Once in a while I'm able to produce a post about something other than Forssa Pride Party. This is one of the few until the date of the party.)

I think a "Thank You" is in order. I'm not sure if I've done this before and I'm too lazy to go back in time so if this something I've done before, I apologize.

My parents sold their house of 24 years and it needs to be empty by the end of this month. We had 2 HUGE attics and a basement. Over the years a LOT of stuff was stored there. It's like an episode of  hoarders there! Stuff from years ago that they thought they'd maybe need but never did. Broken toys, clothes, boxes, furniture...After seeing just how much crap was there I was thinking how lucky I was that T (and the airline regulations about number of bags a passenger can bring and their sizes) made me throw away everything that wasn't strictly necessary when we broke up. I've collected all kinds of little nick nacks over the 2 years I've been back but had I brought over all the stuff I and we bought while we lived together I'd be swimming in stuff. So thanks for that favor! That stuff is in a landfill somewhere in USA instead of in Finland.

My fabulous gay life

I'm waiting for my cup of Dunkin Donuts to brew and then I'll get ready for my interview regarding Forssa Pride Party! YAY! Expect it to hit your household next week...except if you're not in the Forssa region...or don't speak Finnish.

(No cats were harmed during the making of my cup of coffee)

Forssa Pride on Facebook

I'm super giddy right now! It's hard to concentrate at work sometimes when I'm this excited about our Pride Party! And We've had so much positive feedback already and people defending our idea to have something like this is a small town. The Finnish gay community is coming together.
