February
I held a Kick the Crap Out of Love party where everyone was supposed to watch movies with karate and explosions around Valentine�s Day, but we instead stood in my kitchen, talked, and drank. It was a great night.

March
After four years of knowing each other online, I finally met Catie when I went to NYC for some random weekend fun. I rocked NYC with my afro wig and pink sequins skirt. I also ran in beautiful Central Park. And as an added bonus, I also met my online friend Kate for brunch.

April
The Chicago Gay Men�s Chorus presented The Ten Commandments. I was chased by Egyptians trying to steal my baby, danced by the Red Sea, and was on top of a sea-side pyramid. I also hit the high note at the end, if you listen to the recording carefully.

May
I saw Conan O�Brien at the Chicago Theater. I also fulfilled a daydream that I�ve dreamed for three years.

June
I ran the Salt Lake City Marathon, and I met Abel and his wife for dinner.

July
I attended my family reunion again this year. Those are some crazy folks, and Uncle Paulie�s 30th anniversary of being out of the closet was a great party!

August
I rocked Vegas like it�s supposed to be rocked! I stayed out all night both nights I was there, wore skimpy little dresses, went VIP at a club, and gambled with someone else�s money.

September
I attended my first Margarita Tuesday. A frozen pitcher for each of us, porn on the iPod, Hubbard Street Adult Video, Officer Tony, free gin and tonics and vodka cranberries, Trump Tower construction workers...

October
I made a lot of actuaries really, really happy.

November
I did something anonymously nice.

December
This was the month that never ended: multiple parties, a CGMC show where I danced as a toy soldier and as a snowflake ballerina, two weeks in Houston, eBay auctions galore, and finishing it all off with a trip to Atlanta for New Year�s Eve, where I�ll meet another online friend for the first time.�
