Hello friendlets. This week my life’s like the opposite of a country song. I got my teeth cleaned, I got a job, and I got a therapist. Yeehaw! You should try out the
make everything okay button, it’s like magic. This time around, we had 50 pictures of cute girls on bikes, 100 lesbian magazine covers, and 40 lgbt friendly colleges. That’s a lot of things! You got help with binding and stretch marks and Laneia rapped like a white girl. In heroes new, Carolyn talked about Geena Davis, Gabby wrote a love letter to Christina Santiago, and Emily mourned the loss of Jack Layton. Riese caught you up on the Lawrence King trial and Katrina gave you her thoughts on “Watch the Throne”. Riese is going to Manchester Pride and Alex and co. are going to Shedonism in Las Vegas. Alright then, let’s head over to Brianna to see who we’re talking about this week.
I’ve reverted back to my 13 year old self in an effort to complete a game that eluded me in the early 2000s: Final Fantasy X. I hadn’t turned on my PS2 for something like seven years until recently and I’m stuck in a time warp. Those of you reading this probably have a Playstation 3/Wii/Xbox 360 situation happening and so I invite you geeks to come make fun of me in Christine’s group, Autowin Gamers. Or you could talk about more recent games. Whatever those are.

The Preach Award to Zinnia: “Personally, I’d say that children only need to be protected from the insinuation that LGBT people are somehow *not* within the norm and that they are some kind of social “issue” that must be addressed privately by their family rather than regarded in the media as simply normal.”
