I'm Back... If I Can Keep It Up... That's What He Said...

If anyone is keeping track of my blog anymore, yes, yes, I am alive.

I have started 8 posts since my last one, that never left the chopping block. They probably will all remain in my "edit post" box for another month till I get sick of seeing them and delete them.

So why such a long hiatus? I don't really have a good reason.
I could blame it on school, but honestly this year, school has been amazing. I'm on campus two nights a week for a total of 12 hrs. I'm getting the high scores on assignments and tests, which is truly a testament to what a student is capable of when he takes classes that interest him. I don't feel like I'm putting in very much effort, but I'm surprised at how much information I'm retaining.

I could blame it on work, because I have been getting more hours. However, that usually I think of topics for my blog while I'm on the clock.

I could blame it on a lack of drama.... we all know that for a gay mormon boy it never ends.

So really I don't have a good excuse :/

Here's a quick up date:

• I'm no longer a teenager. I'm an old man now.
• My parents went on a double date with Todd and I for my birthday. Todd had set up a surprise dinner and invited my parents to come. It was the best gift they could have given me. I was pretty close to crying.
  
• My dad has been doing great. My father reminds me that he is worried and concerned about the "big picture" but he is glad to see me happy.
• Mom has been struggling with some things. She wants to let Todd and I know that she loves us, but she doesn't want us to get any inclination that she accepts or condones our lifestyle. (I.e. She wants to hug Todd. She loves him, and knows that he's been going through some hard times with his family. However, she chooses not to hug him because we might perceive it as acceptance.)
  
• My parents biggest issue is NOT that I'm gay and have a serious boy friend. It's that we are having sex out of wedlock. Huh... I wish I had the option of wedlock here.
• I'll be heading up to Utah in a couple of weeks!
  
• I was part of a panel talking about homosexuality at my school. It was one of the coolest things EVER. There were SO many people participating, with various knowledge of homosexuals (They ranging from: People who were sure they'd never even met a gay in there life, all the way to to a kid who's parents are gay). Enlightening people is awesome.
• I love the length of my hair at this exact moment.
• I got a visit from my best friend a couple of months ago. It was awesome to see him.....I miss talking with him.
• I am loving the direction my life is headed!
  

Anyway I think that's it for now. I'm trying to get back in the habit of blogging. We'll see how this attempt goes :)
