Despite my whining, directing makes me hot, and we're making good progress.

I hate my gf's comprehensives. I want to make it better but there's little I can do and no time for it besides. The whole process seems arbitrarily torturous, which I realize is the point, but really sucks when it's happening to someone you care about as opposed to existing merely in a conceptual and exacting manner. Obviously, she's more than equal to it, but still -- suckage.

Tomorrow I'll be home and able to chill by 8pm, and I'm really grateful for that too. Especially since we're doing a three hour rehearsal on Thursday.

Finally, remember the story of the kid who was being sent to some camp by his parents so he wouldn't be gay anymore? Well, it looks like it was effective at least in the short term. The whole story makes me sad. http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=7428306&blogID=39349496&Mytoken=20050809220730

Here's a wild idea: maybe he actually managed to get some perspective on the whole thing.

What annoys me the most about this entire clusterfrick is that no one's paid attention to the central issue involved here: Zach is sixteen years old and attempting to make a major life decision. Such decisions entail a level of responsibility for consequences that he clearly wasn't ready to handle. It seems to me that the time spent at Love in Action has been beneficial to him.

Of course this pleases no one in the gay activist community, because gay advocacy has a nasty, infantilizing quality about it that denies such things as personal responsibility. Judging from just a handful of the 450+ comments on his latest announcement, the focus continues to be on vague issues like sexuality and not on the human center at the core of this little melodrama.
