Volenteering and Creepy People That Try to Pick Me Up

Last weekend was busy with volenteering. I was working with Transportation Alternatives to get people to write letters to the New York State Senate so that the MTA does not cut services and raise fares by 23% as they have planned. We were stationed in Park Slope and it was freezing which was disappointing since the day before was 60 degrees. The upside was that we were in front of Gorilla Coffee House so it was easy to duck in for some warmth and fair trade goodness.

After we closed shop I headed to the East Village to meet up with Justin. We went out for a progressive dinner. That involved appetizers from Momofuko, Japanese Fusion and brusetta and pizza at Three Cups, a Sicilian Restaurant. Although the old man sitting at the table next to us did feel the need to slap my butt when we were leaving (creep-o uno of the weekend). We then headed back to Justin's apartment and played with Zack's new Rat Terrier. Dessert was vegan Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream from One Lucky Duck.

Sunday during my weekly Trade Joe Run I ran into Sam from Dearborne (aka creep-0 duo of the weekend). Seriously why do guys think it is okay to blow on your ear after knowing you for about 10 minutes? Moments like that convince me that the majority of single men out their are creepy and therefor I should never marry. Which is ironic since my other volunteering has to due with passing marriage equality in the state of New York.

Sunday I trained facilitators for a marriage equality event. After that I had dinner with Esther and Mikie. Monday was a Snow Day! Tuesday was the marriage equality event. It was a huge success. I had to introduce comedienne Judy Gold, which made me nervous but it went well. The ultimate complement for me was that I had two people come up afterwords and ask me if I ever thought of becoming a performer. (Pipe Dream!)

In other news I have lost almost 70 lbs and was cloths shopping since all my pants are falling down. I have not found anything I like but because of the economy stores are practically giving clothes away.
