Wait On Me-Part One

One simple gaze upon the waitresses soft face and Lily knew what she wanted. She searched the girls chest for a name-tag but did not find one. Maybe she left it at home in a rush to avoid being late for work or maybe she did not want anyone to know her name, but Lily was determined to get it.

“Excuse me!” Lily had to yell across the room to grab the girls attention and her palms began to sweat. She didn’t prepare for the conversation coming.

Lily barely heard the girl call out “just one minute sweetie!” from across the room. The waitress had her back turned so Lily had a chance to admire her gorgeous figure. She was just perfect for Lily. She was not a thin girl, which made Lily extremely happy. Lily always had a thing for girls who were not “fat”, but knew how to eat. A little thickness in the hips and legs never hurt. Before Lily knew it the waitress was turned around and heading straight towards her. She was always the happiest waitress there and that was very appealing to Lily. She didn’t look a day over 25 which was good because Lily was only 21. She had her auburn colored hair pulled up but two strands hung loose down the left side of her face, Lily had tried to imagine how long and curly it would be if it was down. Her eyebrows were thin, she obviously took pride in her appearance and was aware she didn’t need makeup to look good. She had light blue eyes and a beautiful smile with very delectable lips. Lily lost herself looking at this girl, she was ready to pounce. Lily was willing to do anything to have this girl in her arms and even more so in her bed.

Virginity is a social contruct

Virginity:

• is sexist
• is heteronormative
• commodifies sex
• commodifies young cis-het white women
• contributes to rape culture
• contributes to slut-shaming
• erases queer folk
• erases transfolk
• frames a woman’s worth as inversely proportional to the number of dicks that have been inside her

Thank you “glasscoffin”.

It’s not something to play with.

I went to an AIDS/HIV seminar today. I learned a lot! 1 out of 5 people who haven’t been tested, have it and do not know it. You can have it for 5-10 years without getting symptoms. Over 30,000 people in NC have HIV knowingly and over 9,000 have full-blown AIDS knowingly in NC. That’s just the people who know. Also, the waiting list for HIV/AIDS medicine in NC  has over 700 people on it. Keep in mind that’s for medicine that costs $1600 a month. You can get it from blood, semen, vaginal fluid, and breast milk. You can only get it from human to human contact. It is possible to get it through tattoos because it can survive in ink. 100% bleach kills it, but unfortunately we cannot pump bleach into people. At the end of the seminar, the speaker told us she is HIV positive and has known for 30 years. She had to have an abortion because back when she found out, there was nothing they could do for pregnancy with HIV (she found out when she got pregnant). Now they have medicine you can take during your pregnancy, medicine for the baby when it is born, and then once born after 18 months the child gets a new immune system and can be HIV/AIDS free. After hearing her story and hearing the statistics, I got tested. I am negative, thank goodness. You may not be, so please go get tested. ALFA does FREE HIV/AIDS testing and all it takes is a finger prick and 15 minutes. Please go get tested, set up an appointment and do it. Better to be safe than sorry. ♥

ALFA is in NC, I am not sure about other states.

I did not choose to be gay, but I don’t wish otherwise either.

There’s this wonderful and amazing guy. He’s attractive, smart, kind, funny, and just everything. He brought me rose after he got off of work tonight and it made me really happy. It’s been awhile since someone has tried to “woo” me. I care about him, I truly do… And I do like him as if it were a crush. I just don’t feel like it’s going to happen. I can’t make myself do it. It just doesn’t feel right. It feels so horribly wrong and it just hurts so bad. He knows I like women. I’ve been completely honest and open with him. He knows exactly how I feel about everything and he is trying so hard. I don’t want to hurt him, but I can’t be miserable myself. So to anyone who believes I choose to be gay, you’re wrong. I was born this way and I honestly cannot help it. I’ve tried. I lost my virginity to a man and still cannot find myself attracted to them in the ways I need to be in order to have a productive relationship with one. I’m not going to regret who I am and wish I could change it, I just wish it didn’t hurt the people who like me.

Homosexuality may not be okay in everyone’s agenda. That’s fine, everyone has an opinion they are entitled to. BUT it is NOT okay to attack someone over their sexuality. So please, please pass this on after signing it.

Thank you.

National Coming Out Day!

I thought I’d share my coming out story. February 2012 🙂 So I stayed home from school “sick” and sat on the couch and kept thinking about how to tell my mother. I started crying and just couldn’t take it anymore so I walked up to my mother in tears. She goes “What’s wrong?” And I tell her straight up, “Mom, I’m gay and ____ is my girlfriend!” Still in tears I can’t stop crying, she LAUGHS at me. Lol. She laughs and says “I know you are. As long as you are healthy and safe and you reach your goals in life I don’t care who you love.” It was the best feeling in the world to know she loved me and didn’t care where my heart falls. I love you mom, Melissa Throop Henry. Happy national coming out day. ♥!
