True Colors Shining Through

So, the big True Colors Fundraiser was last friday. Jdog, trixie, leroy, and I attended. lots of folks came out to support TC. It was a great event.


In telling Leroy about TC I mentioned that I was a mentor and he said something that I have heard before..laughter and a "wait, you are a mentor?" What? Of course! Maria said - you can't mentor someone. How is someone with issues a mentor? And Leroy just laughed. And, ISSUES? Who has issues. So what I need the hypochondriac's handbook (there is one but I am afraid to get it because i think it would just feed that particular issue). So what I snort purell and lick that little purell stick we are working on - patent pending. I have so much to offer a little mentee. I'm a wise old sage. WISE I tell you! I can offer like a kazillion things to someone.

So, another "issue" is apparently my "judgementalness." Whatever! I am the queen of diversity and tolerance and acceptance and open mindedness. QUEEN I tell you. But at this little TC event I realized that I learned all my stuff from my big cuz. He walked through this whole event saying things like "You ain't foolin anyone" to the drag queens. And "you look likea man" to the lesbians. And my favorite line of all time - "he is such a queen, when he talks a pocketbook falls out of his mouth." This is the man who MENTORED me so who the F is a bad mentor? huh!?
