Yeah, that kinda gay is taxing on everyone's nerves. The closest to shove it in your face gay that I get is my partner and I hold hands as we walk about town, just like any other couple ever.

Don't forget that not everyone who talks about things happening are activists. The closest I get to being part of the "scene" is that I'm part of OutServe and we get together once a week to have dinner, do some job mentoring, or go somewhere as a group of friends. Because frankly, activism is way over my head and those folks scare me sometimes. Especially when they yell at you for not doing enough because you didn't want to cause a scene and "stand up for your rights" under DADT.

Can't lie. For completely self serving reasons I'm vastly more concerned about the SCOTUS ruling on DOMA. My partner and I are both active duty Navy, so, we're getting worried about what will happen when she comes up for orders in a year and when I start deploying to the Horn of Africa later this year. Yes, come August things will be better when the memo that DOD recently put out takes effect for the military, but there are still some very scary and shitty things that could happen without us having equal rights to heterosexual couples in the military. We aren't married yet (but we could be since we're stationed in Washington DC presently), but I foresee it on the not too distant horizon. Honestly, within the next year in all likely hood.

I am so so stoked to hear the Rhode Island news!! Yay!

I've never failed and I don't intend for this to be my first. My weight is coming down a little, but I finally appear to be losing inches. Seriously. I've never had it take this long to lose inches before. It is definitely annoying since I've finally gotten to a really good and fit place. I am just definitely getting screwed by the navy's idea that because I'm all of 5'3" I must be thin, not the muscle laden shape that I am. I've always weighed a lot since I was a kid and I've always been super strong because of it. I am just a very densely built person. When I was 14 I was only 5' tall but I weighed 145 and every day I'd carry a 95lb hay bale in each hand and could easily toss it over a six foot tall fence into the pens. My fitness level isn't really a question for me. I spent the past five days running up and down six flights of stairs carrying boxes all day each day for move and only stopped each day because my gf and friend who were helping me just couldn't do it anymore. I'm fairly certain my actual body fat percentage right now is about 28% but, according to the navy tape I'm about 34%. I've got another week before my weigh in, so, a few more distance runs and some sprint work in addition to my lifting routine and I should be ok.

Holy crap do I hurt everywhere. Spent the last three days moving out of my fourth floor apartment into a storage unit on the second floor of a different building. I don't know how many times I lugged shit up and down all eight flights of stairs but yeeeeeeesh. I definitely lost some points though because I haven't been eating in a way that even resembles paleo. Almost there though. Just one week in my gf's place and then we are in our apartment. So excited.

I dig your new workstation. I'm kinda jealous. I'm thinking about setting up something like that for myself in my apartment. Yay chiropractic!

WOOOOT! Go Brazil!!!!!!! Enjoy those celebrations!

I think the best definition I have yet heard for pan-sexuals was the simplest, "I love ALL the peoples!" She was an epic friend.

Well, didn't get a workout in yesterday and I made the decision to hold off on rugby for the rest of the season. I haven't been to enough practices to play safely in a game, and I'm in the middle of a move. Which, leads me to today. I haven't worked out today. I have however, carried boxes down six flights of stairs and then up another two flights of stairs to my storage unit in my new building. Sooooo, go go non-traditional workouts!

I'm a prop. Just started learning tight head this season.

63" or 5'3", but yeah... 6'3" would be absurd at that weight. I'm doing ok for now. Down to 179lbs. I've been cutting out the carbs and more veggie and lean protein. I've swapped my post workouts to an apple. It works for now. I'm not as concerned about actually losing weight as if you can pass tape, then weight doesn't matter. Which is good, because yeah, I don't think I can ever get down to Navy weight again since I'm in love with strength training now.

I'm so so sad. I have been trying to play with my team all season, but between my schedule, the end of my Navy class, and now moving, I've finally had to knuckle under and just drop the season until Summer 7s starts up. I hate being an adult sometimes.

Thanks! See, I'm that way about balls too. My ball handling skills are HORRIBLE. So, I play as a forward instead, which means I dash about the field trying to crush the folks with the ball on the other team, or trying support the ball handlers on my team. It is awesome.
