I see your truuuuuuuue cooooooloooors...very early morning post...

If everything goes as planned (or more like if I don't pass out after painting class tomorrow night) there might be a 90% chance that I'll be posting my actual work tomorrow night, along with all of the other stuff from the last critique as well.

So, since I was in a happy mood today, I was looking up some Cyndi Lauper music (yeah I'm a nerd...). But anyway, I found a video where she won an award from the HRC (Humans Rights Campaign) back in 2005. She was introduced by the two female singers from the B-52's (Cindy Wilson and Kate Pierson). In her acceptance speech, she talks about how so many people have problems with being "different", and sometimes people do stupid things (such as committing suicide) because so many people have hurt them because of their differences. She then ended her speech with singing her song "True Colors" which she has used to help promote gay rights with HRC. The video really brought me to tears since I almost lost one of my best friends in high school since he realized how hard it might be to come out as being gay. He is probably one of the most sweetest and peaceful people in the world, and even though this happened almost four years ago, I still cannot believe that he would think that he would not be accepted and loved this way. Our high school in itself was nicknamed "Gayside" since there was such a huge gay population already, and there were many people who were part of GSA (the Gay/Straight Alliance). I haven't seen my friend in awhile now, but the last time I saw him he seemed really happy for once!

So, here is the vid to when she gets the award. Her Queens accent is almost as thick as Fran Drescher's, but not as nasally! My accent disappeared, but you should hear my Grandma...
