Those were some really, really good cookies.

In my defense, I’d never been to a burlesque show before. And it was hot outside.
Besides, I have nice legs, so to wear pants would be to deprive the world of a great wonder.

Another moment from the same conversation:
“How long was the trip?”
“Oh, 2 or 3 hours?”
“5 1/2 HOURS, JESSE!”
I owe Adoria, big time.

I still may not have a lot of friends here in Portland yet, but that hardly means I’m alone out there in the world.

Kayla’s officially a good egg. Expect to see more of her in these pages.
And in general if you’re a person I actually hang out with.

The physical transformation I’ve undergone, going from over three hundred pounds to just a little over two hundred, has been nothing next to the changes I’ve made to my very identity.
I rewrote everything so completely that I’m still filling in the gaps in my new backstory. I’m still finding missing pieces that need their narratives attached or discarded.
This hasn’t been a result of a loss, but of a gaining of identity. A return to the true north that had been hiding in me since childhood.
The internet was a place that I could begin this process in a relatively safe way. I could be a version of myself I felt comfortable letting the world see.
The fact that the “internet Jesse” was probably even more fucked up than the “real Jesse” is telling, but that’s a subject for another day.

Ice cream with Sam.
A good day.

Today, I met with artists in a studio, got rather drunk, and helped create two collaborative paintings. I celebrated having been cast in three different upcoming shows here in Portland (in minor, chorus roles – but I’ll be on stage again!), talked about comics, shared my work, and made new friends.
A good day.

A rare landscape from me. I need more practice at these, clearly.
