s p a r k l y !!

Today calls for an official reconnection of the Baptists. You all had better be hitting your local CD stores today. Or your Vice Queen will have a WHOLE lot to say about it.

Love you, loves.

I stumbled upon my pictures from Elmer today, and it made me realize how much I really miss you all.

Hello all. I miss the Baptists world... what has happened to us?

Anyway, I'm bored, so I just made a Baptists group on Facebook. http://wesleyan.facebook.com/group…
If that link doesn't work, look it up; it's called "Let's All Get On The Baptist Bus."

I know not everyone has Facebook... but if you do, check it out!
Memebership is technically closed (mainly because there's a lot of people out there whose not-smartness makes me sad inside), but I'll trust anyone who asks to join to be a Baptist.

Oh, and if I can keep up with it I'm making everyone admins, so f-around with the profile, etc. to your heart's content, and make yourself officers.

So today my family went to NYC. I've never seen a broadway show, and they decided that it was about damn time that we went. This in itself made me really happy. So we go, and we decide to see The Producers. Needless to say... it was amazing. It was hilarious and everything was just... it was how I imagined it. But it is so much different in person. The lights, the actors, the dancing... fanfuckingtastic.

So after it was over, I was feeling pretty happy. It's hard not to after seeing something like that. We stop at a place, get some food, and start walking back to Penn Station.

Then I stop walking. I didn't know if I was imagining things and the heat was getting to me. But when passing people cleared out of the way, I realized I wasn't imagining it at all.

Rufus Wainwright was standing on the sidewalk talking to some lady who had far too much make up on. Rufus FUCKING Wainwright. I cannot even explain my adoration for him or his music. Everything he stands for and the messages he sends. I have loved him for quite a while. One of the few people who I've ever bothered buying every CD by. One of the few musicians I respect.

But there he was. Perfect. Gorgeous. And wonderfully gay. I don't know what to do at first. I was afraid to approach him because well... I don't even know what to say. So with a sheepish grin I walk up and say, "You're... Rufus Wainwright..." He smiles and says, "Yeah!" I mention adoring his music, and we talk briefly. I kind of zoned out because I kept thinking, "Am I imagining this?" But no.

So I ask him if he will sign something, and he is so polite and says, "Of course!" but I can't find a pen... luckily my dad had one. I have now confiscated this pen because it has Rufus cooties on it. But I don't have a damn thing for him to sign. So he gets out his wallet, looks through it, then pulls out a receipt. He says, "This is an art store receipt. So this will be extra personal." I laugh and say something like, "That's really appropiate..." because I was thinking about one of his songs. He laughs and nods, scribbling his name onto the back of the receipt and then hands me it and the pen. I thank him, exchange a few more words, then depart.

It was just... the MOST FUCKING RANDOM THING EVER. Walking down the street... then WHAM! Rufus Wainwright! He was amazing and so so so nice. I still can't even believe it.

So I look at the receipt afterwards... and at the bottom... in case anyone ever doubts that signature on the back... there are the little X's followed by the last four digits on his credit card, then underneath it says, "Wainwright, R." I seriously need a scanner specifically for scanning it.

Holy fucking shit. Rufus FUCKING Wainwright.

The goddamn amazing gay messiah.

A year ago right now what were you doing?

I was having one of the best times of my life.

One of the first major chats in forever...

ok. some of you know me. some of you don't. some of you hate me. some of you are llamas. whatever, i don't care.



i just am updating because by this time last year we had all our plans set for appel farm festival in june. well, not ALL plans but we at least had some sort of plan. there has been talk of something happening this June again, and i need to know if there is something so i can plan other things this summer too.


i'm not good at planning, so i'm not keen on being in charge of that. i just want the people who are interested in a baptist meetup this summer to reply with a "YAY" or a "NAY". if you do replay with a "YAY", also list where you would like to have a baptist meetup and what days are best for you.

and if you say "NAY", i will make you walk the plank.


in short, i just want to know if there will be a meetup this june. sppppannnnx.


p.s. - i hope we can all find time for a chat or two soon.

sparkley legged baptists

Are the baptists dead?




p.s. this is akio. new journal. once more.
