On the *Up* side, for now

Whooohoooo! I finally have something positive to post about *grin*.

So tonight, I decided to go stag to this social group that meets every Tuesday night. I've been trying for the past several weeks to get my friend to go, but she doesn't do as well in social settings as I do, so I finally said "whatever" and went all by my self! Besides, Ray Hill, our local controversial radio talk show host/"Citizen Provocateur" was going to be speaking at tonight's meeting. Figured that would be pretty cool to see him IP. And it was. He brushed me up on a ton of history behind the GLBT community in Houston, had some amazing stories to tell.

Anyway about this group...I actually found them online one night (morning?) during a bout of insomnia. They do weekly meetings, rap parties, picnics, theatre outings, etc etc etc...so I'm like "WOW!" I could sure use a life right now. So when I get there tonight, not knowing what to expect (hoping for a few tombois, butches, hell even a fellow femme would have been nice), I find a roomful of flaming queens lol. They were a trip! Apparently, this group is fairly new, just started 2 months ago, and I am their FIRST LESBIAN!!! They were so excited about that, made me feel really special. Oh yeah, I am special *giggle*. I went out to eat with them afterwards at a deli, got caught up on QAF since I've had a temporary lapse in TV land, got invited to go to some waterpark near San Antonio (schlitterbaun?) with them next month...it was pretty cool.

So that was my night of fun and entertainment. I'm back home now, fighting off another case of sadness...Just wanted to contribute something upbeat for a change!

Love y'all! ~~sadie

The first lesbian! The way you said that sounds so funny! For once it was in a nice way, not "OH MY GOD, A LESBIAN! Quick, sell the house before property values go down!"

Nice to hear ya had fun... whatcha have at the deli?

Schlitterbahn -- it's the hottest coolest time in Texas! :) It's in New Braunfels... between San Antonio and San Marcos. If you actually go, you WILL have a blast.

Oh.. and congrats on being their first lesbian. LOL Are you going to be going back?

Sadie I loved your post, it brought back some fond memories of my own in similar situations. Some of my best friends through the years have been those flaming queens and they are a fun bunch. I'm so glad you got out and met some folks, eventually the lesbians will appear although they are less likey to step out in the spotlight as the queens are lol.
