through the years

May 25, 2006 | Filed in Life | 1 Comment

I love the month of May. It is my favorite month of the year. For some reason, it is always fun, interesting, or life changing.

Savage Garden9 years ago – I was 15 and I had just gotten internet access at home. Up until then, my gay feelings remained in the closet and I didn’t have an outlet. But the internet gave me the freedom to explore. I remember going online and searching for “gay”. I stumbled upon a website of gay porn. The very sexual photo I ever saw of 2 men was a guy sucking on this monster cock. It was taken from an awesome angle, and I went back to look at it everyday.

I also discovered the wonder of chatrooms. That’s where I met my first internet “boyfriend”. One of the hot songs at the time was “I Want You” by Savage Garden, and this guy’s chat handle was “SavageFan”. I wanted to savage this guy’s garden, if you know what I mean ;)

He had a nude photo of himself, and I thought he was the hottest thing. My chat handle, by the way, was SweetDreams15. HA! I know, that’s hilarious now. But at the time, I received a lot of private messages, that’s for sure.

5 years ago – I still lived in Illinois, and Rodney and I were 2 months into our relationship. It was still the honeymoon period, and we were still adjusting to each other’s personality. We were some fiery queens, you know. Imagine all the attitude of Whitney Houston and multiply it by two. That was us. I guess we’ve mellowed out a lot. But there’s nothing better than young love in the spring.

3 years ago – I was preparing for college graduation, with a GPA of 4.0, and I was very proud of my accomplishments. It was a really good time. I actually skipped college when I graduated high school. I went right into working as a graphic designer. But I’m glad I finally decided to go to college, because it was the smartest thing I’ve ever done.

1 year ago – I had a job lined up in Nashville and we were making our plans to move. I’ve changed so much in such a short amount of time. Thanks to blogging, and the extremely open atmosphere I work in, I’m finally able to be myself.
