Homoversary

I was on my way home from work the other day reflecting on my weekend, the soiree at Monticello, the singles party, them good cocktail meatballs, the margaritas, New New's Pink Lemonade Cake...y'all know how my mind goes, and I was thinking I wanted some new Js. So I was thinking since my Bday ( Nov.7...save the date.) was coming , maybe I can ask Daddy to buy me some. Then I thought how silly I am at almost 28 years old ( OMG 28 !!! I may need to do a post about that later) thinking about asking someone to buy me some Js of all things. So 28 started me thinking...how fast time goes... ten years ago I was 18... then I realized something. A little more than 10 years ago...about 12 years ago during this same week , I was attending my first ever gay function.

I was a 15 y/o junior in highschool with my Reebok Classics and my Gap plaid button down attending an Autumn Madness Ball with new acquaintances, soon to be new friends. I was terrified, nervous, excited, anxious, nauseous, and every other emotion. I saw many new faces and many familiar faces as everything was coming together for me. I saw fem queens and butch queens and all in between. I had no idea what was going on, I thought the police or Jesus himself was gonna break through the wall at any minute and tell us all to leave. I just thought that something had to be wrong with this. Anyhow, the ball ended somehow with a little bit of a fight ( of course ) and we continued on to a club. Don't ask me how they let my young ass in, but they did. This was even scarier to me. Just so many men dancing and kissing, I was just so overwhelmed. Then from the bar steps my older cousin with a heineken in his hand. I was freaked out !!!!! We shook hands and I kept it movin...I was home by midnight I think. ( Lawd I was grown huh)

Yeah so after that first night, it was over...soon came boyfriends, first kisses, silver jewelry, shaped eyebrows, nyc, spins and dips, Fathers of this house and that house, beepers, oral sex....and all within the next year!! LoL...my goodness...

Anyhow so... Happy Homoversary!!!
