This blog has been keeping track of my adventures since 2004. The stories and the adventures have come from my college dorm room to Uganda, Peace Corps Kyrgyzstan, learning Dutch in the Netherlands to living in the wilds of Homer, Alaska. I went back to school in Amsterdam to study Theaterwetenschap (Theatre Science) at University of Amsterdam. And now my adventures as a Fruit Fly, a Sexy Unicorn, and creating a movement with Team Sparkle in Chicago.

No I like men...

When ever people find out I'm an Athlete and they don't know what sport I play they'll be like, "Oh, you're on the softball team?" I never know how to respond to this, "ummmm....well...no... I like Men." I mean honestly when I hear them jumping to conclusions that I am on the Softball team they might as well go, "So you're a lesbain....." Yeah... No. I could never be a Lesbain. I mean besides the whole not wanting to have sex with a woman part I have enough woman friends to know that I would never want to be talked about the way woman talk about the men they are dating or have slept with. And oooooweee having to deal with how crazy and irrational woman are. You would find me shell shocked in a corner like, "She said she wasn't mad but she seems mad. Why does she keep saying she isn't mad when she is acting like she is mad. And why do I always have to pay for everything? Why do I always feel like she is analysing everything I do? I was just being friendly to the waitress, not hitting on her. She honestly looked fat in those jeans what was I suppose to say......"Yeah, I think I'm going to stick with men. They may be simple but they are easier to handle and they don't care what they look like in their jeans, and I love that!!!
