Yesterday was the Gay Pride parade here in Portland. It was quite a lot of fun, and it was neat seeing people I know in the march. Next year we'll be marching.

My best friend wore his cutest mini-skirt to, "honor Stonewall and all the drag queens who had to throw rocks at cops so we could have a party." Ha ha ha! That wasn't the only reason, of course. He's just deliciously sarcastic. And he looks great in a mini-skirt!

My boyfriend came with us. Not really his scene, or should I say, not something he's really been exposed to before, but he had a good time, and got a big kick out of seeing me get all flustered and shy down at the Waterfront when this simply beautiful girl looked at me with a sparkle in her eye and a big smile on her face. You always know when someone is admiring you, and this woman was giving me the look. I know I blushed. Wish I wasn't so shy! Wish I'd talked to her.

The weather was beautiful, and I got sunburned, so it was a very good day.
