You know,<\/strong> even in the 12 years or so since I\u2019ve been in high school, I can see that things have really come a long way. Check out this great story about New Orleans’ gay prom<\/a>. It’s so sweet I\u2019m about to pass out from a hypoglycemic fit. All things being equal, I would much rather worry about finding the right skaterboy to take to the prom, rather than finding the right beard or sympathetic female friend. (Props to Don<\/a> for the link. Go read his saucy site.)<\/p>\n And for the record, I did not go to my high school<\/a> prom, even though it was being held at the swanky Plaza Hotel. However, I did go to another prom at the end of my freshman year of college<\/a> at the highly overrated Tavern on the Green. It was there that I began to really appreciate the charms of the beautiful woman (not my date, but that\u2019s another story altogether) who I would date for the next year-and-a-half. Yes, it\u2019s true. Actual, true love \u2014 with a chick! Life is a journey, as they say.<\/p>\n Now that I\u2019m working from home again, I\u2019ve been playing all these CDs I have that I never liked enough to listen to all that much. (Ouch! Did that sentence throw grammar to the wind, or what? You try diagramming it.) so I slap in this Hooverphonic<\/a> CD someone sent me and suddenly realize that I own the piece of music from the vapor-colored Volkswagon commercial<\/a> that everyone seems to be scrambling to identify. I guess I was cool enough to dismiss it months ago. By the way, does anyone else think that every under-30 dot-com millionaire is scrambling to be one of the 2000 lucky owners of those things? I bet we see a hundred of them up on eBay<\/a> before too long, at double the price.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" You know, even in the 12 years or so since I\u2019ve been in high school, I can see that things have really come a long way.
