My Weekend Crush

I’m shamelessly stealing this idea from Dorothy Surrenders, whose weekend crush this special Pride weekend is: Maria Bello. Yummy, mhm... can't ... form ... sentences. Hmh. I'm in a happy place right now. Seriously, I think Maria should have been on my top ten list!

When I saw this video of Ellen and Portia in Italy, I had an urge to hop onto a train and go down to Italy to catch a glimpse of them IRL. However, I'm not a paparazzi and therefore would not be able to find out where they are so I fought the urge and remained where I am. I love Ellen so much, she really is my hero. When Ellen came out in 1997, I was 9 years old and had no idea who she is. But, as I came out and tried to live my life as a lesbian, she was one of the people I "turned" to for advice. And she gave great advice. Not only through her show "Ellen", but also through living a proud and full live and entertaining me and millions of people with her great sense of humor. Personally, I think Ellen came out for herself. I know what it's like to hide a part of yourself and I feel that she must have probably felt like she was dying inside a little by not being honest. Ellen is a great role model and she definitely fought hard for our community, dealing with not finding work for three whole years. I can't even imagine what that must have been like for her. Ellen seems very smart, nice, genuine and a great soul and she really is my hero, a person I can look up to and strive to be like. There's so much I could say about Ellen, but no matter how many words I use, no words will really express how I feel about her.

This summer, Ellen will marry Portia, "her right piece". I wish them both all the luck in the world and when I see videos and pictures of them together, I fell like they already have that!

Sorry that this was late, I haven't really felt like writing lately. I promise to post more next week!
