Remember, Remember

Remember, remember the fifth of November,
The gunpowder treason and plot,
I know of no reason
Why the gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot.

1 Corinthians

Love is always patient and kind; it is never jealous, love is never boastful or conceited; it is never rude or selfish; it does not take offense, and is not resentful. Love takes no pleasure in other people's sins but delights in the truth; it is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope, and to endure whatever comes. Love does not come to an end.

1 Corinthians 13:4-7

Time…

Time passes.  Even when it seems impossible.  Even when each tick of the second hand aches like the pulse of blood behind a bruise.  It passes unevenly, in strange lurches and dragging lulls, but pass it does.  Even for me.

I hated her, SOOO much!

Apparently, I have been a bad gay. Go ahead, take 10 points off my queercard. I just recently netflix'd Clue. If you didn't know that the board game was made into a movie, please let me know so I can feel better that I had no idea this existed. Anywho... after watching this hilarious movie... I just can't get these two scenes out of my head... and yes, I laugh a little every time they replays in my head. I need to buy this movie!
