I think I have a crush on a drag queen.

We all go through phases right?

My last phase was the phase of the funny. Comedians and comedy shows alike just kept poping into my life. Not only did I have the privledge of watching Kevin Nealon, Kids in the Hall (for free thank you Meg and Chris!), and Eddie Izzard but I also saw a TON of amatuer comedy - I even had a close friend venture into that realm.

Now to be clear, this is not quite the same as that phenomenon of "I was thinking about buying the XL7 Bladdity Blah Red Car and now I see it everywhere!", or "I just learned about transcendental meditation and now I can't pick up a magazine or turn on the tv without hearing about it!" But I do think these two things - phases and coincidental connections - are close cousins. The distinction is - and correct me if I sound way off here - that "phases" are more about your life's happenings over an extended period of time, whereas "coincidental connections" are more about you just paying witness.

My point is, I think that I'm about to enter the phase of the transvestite/transgendered/drag queens, LBGT at large. At least that's what I'm hoping for. And I figure Antony Hegarty (above) and a crush on a drag queen puts me off to a good start. Oh, and my lesbian cousin got married yesterday to boot!! Come with me to Hey Homo??



P.S. No, I do not personally plan to become a transvestite, transgender, or drag queeen ... or lesbian. "Not that there's anything wrong with that!"
