And Brody makes 69



I'm pleasantly surprised that this school has a small office space dedicated to sexual and gender diversity, called the Q Centre. The Q Centre only started last year. I finally summoned up the courage to walk into the Q Centre and ask to get a membership with the group Queers on Campus. I had my own doubts and insecurities about walking into the Q Centre and someone sees me or the people in the group might be cold toward strangers, or whatever. Sort of unreasonable fears? I dunno, I'm just naturally anxious.

I approached the door. The door was kind of closed. I thought, "arg, I got all worked up and walked all this way for nothing!" I was walking from the hospital, where I work, which was about 20 minutes away. There were people inside the room talking, so I opened the door and asked if I could get a membership. To my relief, the people in the Q Centre were quite nice and welcoming. They were telling me about the various events they will be having, including a showing of the movie You Should Meet My Son! this Friday. Haha, what a coincidence; I just blogged about that.

Incidentally, those people at the Q Centre were all really tall. I'm kind of short to begin with, and I had to walk around with a massive Asian girl, about 6' 5" or so?, through the food court to the lockers to get my membership card. We chatted along the way, and my head was turned pretty much vertically upward to see her.

When I arrived back at the office, anxiously fluttering the membership card in my hands, a dude named Zac (see the Facebook screenshot above) told me about the Facebook group and got up to show me where the venue for Friday's movie was because I don't really ever go to main campus. Zac had blue hair and was quite tall, of course lol. Everyone there seemed relatively friendly.
