Coming Out To An Old Friend

1/11/1990

An anniversary day.

12 years ago today, it was orientation day for new law students at Western State University College of Law in Fullerton, California. I was just starting my law school experience. Scott was also staring his law school experience as well . He was from a Midwestern State . I was from Northern California. Fullerton is in Southern California.

In honor of the anniversary day, I returned Scotts phone call. We had a long talk. We basically acknowledged that doing and following the Soul Urge “is” satisfaction.

I “came out” to Scott during our phone call. He said “I’ve had those desires too.” And “if you get sick, let me know if there is anything I can do.”

We acknowledged our deep friendship “always.”

End of this part of the entry.

Notes 6/12/2024

 Scott and I  met at the beginning of law school in the spring of 1978. I was 22 and I think that he was about my age. After law school, he moved to the East Coast to practice law and I moved back to Northern California.

I didn’t come out as a gay man until 1984. So, I spent all of my law school years, 1978-1980, playing it straight. 

I didn’t remember ever having told Scott that I was gay until I ran into the above entry yesterday. The journal is a marvelous vault of life’s submerged truths.

 When Scott said “If you get ill, let me know” he was referring to Aids. There was no cure for it in 1990. Very sweet of him to offer support had it happened to me.

 It’s been decades now since I last heard from Scott. But, with the journal’s magic, we reunite again here. And our gay bond connection thus spans the years.

(I did not use my friend’s real name in the blog)

A few months later, two little babies were brought home, and Roman was very excited. His dads had explained that no one ate a baby, and that he would be a big brother soon. Of course, they said it was only one baby, so why were there two?

“Daddy, did you steal a baby? Stealing is not good, I learned that at church.” Roman said after a few minutes of silently staring at the tiny humans. He didn’t know what he said was so funny, but his dads were laughing, so he must've told a joke. 

“I didn’t steal a baby, Little Prince,” Remus started, snorting with laughter before continuing, “Sometimes people give birth to two, or even three babies. Most of the time, you see it on the scans, remember the ones I had to check if the baby was a boy or a girl? Well, when we should’ve seen two baby boys, this little one hid behind his twin!” 

While his daddy was talking, Janus lifted Roman onto the couch so he could see the babies closer. Immediately, he fell in love with the tiny little people. The boy smiled widely and stroked the closest one's cheek. 

“Hello baby! I’m Roman! You’re very pink. Are you a piggy? That's okay if you are, I like the piggies at the zoo.”

July 2013 Mask Shoot

Some shots I took of some taxidermied masks a friend of mine made.

Unfortunately, some subset of these I did not take, and other than the ones that I'm in, I'm not sure which those are, but I'm reasonably certain I took these ones:

Under the cut are ones I know I didn't take because I'm in them and/or they're clearly from the same set that I was in a dress for (which means I wasn't shooting).

Hilarious sequence in which I try to put on a dress in a field:

Anyhow:

Delilah Bellerose

This is a Deaf character that I have created to hopefully use in future animations to help develop and further my skills. Once those are made, feel free to ask Delilah questions and comments. Her series will be interactive. I will also try to incorporate a bit of information about the Deaf culture and community, so if there is anything specific you would like to know about, let me know. I hope you all will enjoy Delilah as a character and maybe learn a few things along the way. I see you soon, Cupcakes!

Deaf Culture Fun Fact #1: There are actually 2 ways to spell the word “deaf”, with each one having a different representation. “Deaf” with a capital “D” refers to someone who is apart of and active in the Deaf Culture and Community. While “deaf” with a lowercase “d” refers to someone who has severe or profound hearing loss. This is why Delilah is a “Deaf” Character, yet her Bio says she is Hard-of-hearing.
