Garden of the Gods
OK, on my next vacation (haha), I’m going to The Garden of the Gods. It looks amazing! I miss my friends so much. When I think about my "Bloomington Buddies" and my LR Peeps (don’t ask), I want to squish them all into one little town (with mountains and lakes and a cool downtown and the perfect climate and the perfect 40-hour a week job) and all live 5 minutes away from each other with enough space to not drive each other mad, but close enough to have people to have dinner with a few times a week and parties sometimes on the weekends. I do love the Internet for making all my friends just one click away, but sometimes, I want it to be real. My open invitations to visit friends in Carbondale, India, SF, Austin, Denver, and New York are so appreciated, but there’s no time or money to go. Some day soon. (No, Nanu, I will not take down your picture!!)

I LOVE Garden of the Gods. I once stayed at the Navigators Conservative Christian Compound adjacent to the Garden of the Gods (It was another “ex-gay” life-altering attempt) and we had free access to the Garden of the Gods. I made the trek up to the Bowls. Almost killed myself, but it was so worth the effort.
I love it there at twilight as the sun sets and changes the rocks all vibrant colors. Yes, go, and when you are in Colorado Springs, pop in and say hi to Dr. Dobson at Focus on the Faggot. Actually you can have a tour of their compound too (which is on the hill over looking the air force something or other. Lots of military and planes. Very butch. Very oppressive.)
