Welcome to Fat Lesbian; a blog for the queer, the proud, and the somewhat flawed.
I'm turning 30 this year, so obviously my thoughts have turned to my imminent demise. This is not to say my life is over (I just read 60 is the new 40, which means I'll probably retire at 87). It does mean I've begun to think about what I have done, and what I want to leave behind. So far my legacy consists of a 4x4 foot painting of an elephant which sits over my desk...
And since I can't create a vampire progeny to carry on the blood line, I'm looking to increase my holdings. Ultimately, I would like my paintings to be worth thousands when I'm dead, but before I achieve recognizable dead artist status, I'm going to try to do some good. How? Well that's the sand in the panties.
Ideas for improving the world (to varying degrees):
3.) Create life changing volunteer organization that brings mentoring, life skills, and the arts to underprivileged queer youth.
2.) Wash out the dog food and peanut butter jars before I put them in the recycling.
1.) Complete a 100 mile bike ride to raise money for an as-of-yet-undetermined good cause.
Numbers 1 and 2 I'm totally doing. Number 3 is a long term goal.
In the meantime, I will be sharing my experiences being queer in corporate, learning to road cycle, and offering general commentary on the world as we know it.
I can't wait to get started!
Sincerely,
Fat Lesbian
