Beer
From the first sip of Miller Lite I had at my dad's softball game, I knew beer would be a part of my life forever. It has brought me through high school parties and rugby songs, through awkward social moments and best friends forever proclamations.

When a drag is fun
In celebration of our friends' engagement, we went to watch a drag queen perform at the gay bar Therapy last night. Sitting in the front row, I was obviously a target, but "Shaquita" had me pegged as a minority audience member from the start (baseball cap and beard don't blend in this environment)--constantly taunting me (in a flirty and friendly manner) with her privates (real or pretend). I may not fit into gay culture, but I can definitely appreciate their sense of fun. I love feeling like I can travel exotically within my own city.
