Things:

Feeling way better about my trip to California...hoping to spend a lot of time really seeing everything there is to see in San Francisco

I think my bike gets hit on more than I do when I bring it to school. It makes me laugh.

I had an amazing interaction with perfect strangers the other day. I was studying in Ybor (yeah, yeah, Ybor City...) and these two older men were sitting near me and one asked what I was studying (which, if you know me, is the best question to ask)

I replied that I was reading an article on Drag Performance, pertaining specifically to Drag Kings for my Queer Theory class (which I need to copy for you David J. It was really good).

Instead of getting puzzled looks or shrugged off, both of them chimed in (and both were very straight men, mind you) about gender construction/performativity, etc. It was AMAZING.

Then we got started talking about why nothing is definite because of different cultures and also about our racist issues when one of them said he goes to Ethiopia all the time. When I asked why he said it was because he just opened an orphanage there and plans on opening 100 centers just like it in the country. The other does similar humanitarian work.

I told them about the dorky bike co-op, but they were so excited for me. I handed them a flyer and he gave me the name of his organization. All we talked about was how local grassroots work was so important. The guy with the orphanage makes sure that only Ethiopian people are involved...he just provides the organization skills and the money. One of the guys even hugged me at our departure. This was one of the first totally non-creepy older-dude interaction I've had. They were completely respectful, understanding and listened to me and I them...

It was fantastically refreshing. Who knows if they were just playing like the guys from Wedding Crashers...it was awesome.
