I've been putting off doing my taxes, because I knew I'd probably owe money. I don't necessarily mind the activity itself, if I'm in the right mindset. But I just hope I never get audited, but I'm sure I'm ripe for it given that all of the values I enter are round numbers. Office expenses? $500. Supplies? $500. Estimated value of donated goods? $300. I try to lowball things, just in case. I don't keep receipts. I could sit down with a year of bank statements and figure it out, I'm sure. Either that or hope my tax auditor would accept sexual favors. The questions were sort of funny on the online program I was using, because they kept awkwardly inserting the phrase "youth educator business" in an attempt to personalize it. In the end, the damage I owe is $239 to the federal government and $59 to the state, because of being 'self-employed' for a 1/3 of my income last year.

Most of the crowd was strangers to me, and during one of my sets, while dancing in the booth to "Ain't No Other Man", I scanned the crowd to see how people were responding. I notcied on the other side of the room, up on the stage, this cute fag rocking out to the song, singing and dancing with complete enthusiasm and freedom. I was pleased they liked the song as much as me, then laughed because I realized the "fag" was [livejournal.com profile] loosethread.

Dan Savage gets on my nerves a lot so I'm not sure why I decided to click on his column this week until I got to the end, and read this:

...remember this: it takes more guts to be an out swish in our society than it takes to be a str8-acting, A&F-wearing frat-boy clone.

Amen.

Yes, amen to that.
