day after first quarter (first entry)
may 30, 2001 ~ 8:27 a.m.

So I've basically finished coming out to my parents, even though we never really spoke about it. But we didn't need to, really, because they're perfectly gay-friendly. They've been giving money to the Human Rights Campaign for years.

I'm pretty sure they suspected it before, but now I'm damn sure they know because I've been drinking out of my pride mug and leaving the Washington Blade around. I just wish they'd say something, because that would make it seem real and final.

I got back from a backpacking trip two days ago and I'm still somewhat sore. We got rained on a bit and had trouble lighting a fire, but it was wonderful anyway. The forest was filled with oak, white pine, and rhodedendron, and along the trails there was violet, tansy ragwort, blueberry, blackberry, wood nettle, plantain, jewelweed, greenbrier, wood strawberry, and garlic mustard. We saw a rabbit, several deer, including a fawn, and what looked like bear droppings.
