Monkey’s Big Adventure
In the beginning, there was Monkey:
and it was good.
This past Sunday, I dropped my laundry off at Do-Duds. When I went to bed on Sunday night, I realized that Monkey was not in my bed. Hmmm.
On Monday morning, I called Do-Duds and found that Monkey had in fact, stowed away in a sheet and had taken a trip to Do-Duds.
Later that day, it was clear that not only had he gone along for the ride to the laundromat, he’d also taken a spin in the washer, and then in the dryer. He’s very clean, but a little misshapen. I hope he had a nice time.
The reunion:
Welcome home, Monkey!
Regarding Dehomosexualization
I was asked to remove all identifying information about Zach. Now see, I just used his real name, but no last name. See, people cache web pages, so anyone who wants to find out his information can find that out if they really want, but I don’t think that anything that he had on his blog is likely to put him in any danger. I really don’t. And anyway, he hasn’t even been able to be online because he’s off where people are trying to get the gay out of him. It isn’t going to work, and we all know that, but his parents are a bit confused. They think they are helping. I’m sure their motivation is that they want to help him, but what they are doing isn’t helping.
Once again, I ask you to write him a supportive message. I logged on to the GMail account I created for him just now, and there are 43 messages there. I didn’t open the messages to read them, because they belong to Zach, but I can see the first line, and the messages look supportive. I want him to find hundreds of these messages from people who care: people who know that gay isn’t a choice, and people who know that being gay doesn’t mean your life is a waste. People who are gay themselves, or who have wonderful gay people in their lives. Just anyone who cares.
The address is zach.inbartlett@gmail.com. I hope you’ll use it.
What Do You Think?
Aaron has made some nifty changes in my sidebar, and I’d like to see what you think about them. Now, under the header "Archives," you see the words "Select Archive." If you hover over that, you will see all of my blog archives, month by month. It seems a little redundant to have the header almost exactly the same as what goes under the header. I was thinking that either the header itself should be what you hover over to see the archived months, but I worry that people won’t get that you are supposed to hover to see the archives. The other option is to have it say "Hover here to see all archived months" or some other directive, but Aaron is here saying he thinks it’s kind of lame when things say stuff like "Click here." Damn, I’ve been writing that for ages. The Category section has the same set of issues. What do you think would be the slickest? I’m aiming for the slickest blog EVER, and so I need your help, Dear Readers.
