I Got My Pride...

As the week goes by, I've found myself preoccupied with so many things, my blog has suffered. I do sincerely apologize to my dear readers. Never fear; there will be my regular "road trip" posted tomorrow still! Believe it or not, I have enough stories to last throughout the summer and into the fall.

Otherwise, tomorrow I'll be heading to the haunted Mansfield Reformatory for an overnight paranormal investigation. The prison is quite notorious for it's hauntings and was even featured on an episode of Ghost Hunters. Though we'll be permitted to stay until 6:30 AM, I know I won't be lasting that long. It should prove to be an interesting night. At the very least, there will be fun and amusement to be had.

The main reason I won't stay all night is Saturday plans. It's that time of year again. Rain or shine, northeast Ohio will be having it's annual Cleveland Pride celebration at Voinovich Park. Though I'll probably be sleeping through the parade, I'll be at the festival itself in the afternoon. It will be interesting to see what this year brings... and who I happen to see. And if you happen to be there, don't hesitate to say hello if you see me. I swear, I really am a friendly person!

Later on, my friends and I will head over to Union Station for dinner, drinks, and perhaps a show. I'm already planning on having a long island iced tea that night, unless there happens to be a decent drink special. By that time, I'll need a little libation to relax and unwind.

Over all, it's a crazy few days ahead. But it's that time of year to let your hair down (which is actually possible for me now that I'm letting it grow out beyond the usual buzz cut... or as my friends say, "turning emo") and enjoying life. Freedom and celebration will be in the air. And for me, it's a time of major change.

This summer could prove to be a pivotal turning point in my life...
