Being Super Heros and Snowmen

I have recently gotten the opportunity to be characters for my local street festival downtown. It is so fun. I wanted to share some pictures and favorite memories

Yesterday I was "The Flash" Gordon which gave me the motivation to learn about this character. I knew I played football, I had a theme song from Queen, and my archenemy was Ming. Thank you various people I asked!

So I walked around downtown and people said "Hey flash!" And I said "Hey! How have you been super today?" Someone said "You are wearing a boy costume" To which I responded " SUPERHEROS HAVE NO GENDER!!"

I even got to hang out with my friends. It is always fun for me to see people giving me the once over and that happened quite a lot. I even got to experiment with lowering my voice down an octave. 

I also got to hang with kids which may be the best part. They totally believe you. Call you flash and it is the best. This time, I met a kid named Batman. His parents told me he makes them call him Batman at home. Isn't that wonderful? We went to our local art museum together. I was giving out free coupons. And he would say "look, that is me!" Because the art exhibit was all about superheros. It was a good time. I love love playing.

In December I was Frosty the snowman. People couldn't see my face this time and it was great because I could stare at people without them knowing or I could laugh under my mask. I had a GIANT head.

I rode a bus with people commuting back home from work. I even danced with kids and people asked me if I know Olaf. To which I responded "of course!"

The band gave me shoutouts and Adults poked me. It brings out the inner kid and fun in everyone.

So I just think community engagement is super important and I value it a ton. I am so grateful to be able to work for my city to be all of this characters. It is so fun. Acting + Activism = LOVE.

I love when passions combine.


How do you have fun or be a kid?

Nine months later I emerge with the hopes of being vaccinated soon. FUcking hell. What a trip. This pandemic is going to require a lot of processing in the future but for now, I want to share and record some things I am very proud that I accomplished over this period of time. I was able to help start and run a campaign to eventually get my high school drama teacher who spread the rumor that I called the cops at a cast party which ruined my social life at that school while stalking me and my friends and constantly trying to get me in compromising and damn disgusting and gross situations. His charm to his superiors and the gaslighting and abuse of students has been heavily weighing on me in a way I have yet to fully deal with. I spoke out in high school and was silenced, threatened, and made to feel unwelcome. Yet the internet and living in a whole separate continent does wonders for confidence. I helped create a petition, gathered testimonies, and launched this campaign with my friends

Rainy Night Writing

There is something quite different about writing when it is raining outside than when it isn't. I despise my frozen toes and fingers, yet I love drinking chocolate almond milk with banana bread. It seems almost enchanting, like creativity is plopping on your rooftop. Writing in the rain, so odd. Writing in the rain It is like laughing during a thunder cloud, in perfect harmony with nature, rhyming and paralleling the weather, writing in the rain, creativity pours from you, as you hear the pitter patter, you wonder where the drops will all go, writing in the rain, a clean slate to begin again, a downpour of ideas, soon to come again, I love writing in the rain.
