The new social trend is the "coming out," and actors, neighbors and even spouses are doing it. And that's great - if you're gay, you might as well live an open, happy life. (unless of course you're in the military)
But now it's chic for even fictional characters to be gay, as J. K. Rowling has brought her Harry Potter character, Dumbledore, out of the closet.I hope she gave him time to tell his parents first.
Yes, Dumbledore is a donut puncher, and children everywhere will be thumbing through their books ravenously, looking for signs. Sort of like the first time you leave a ten-year-old alone with a dictionary. The first word they look up is "vagina." He he he he he!!!
We should have seen this coming all along. I've not even read the Potter series, yet I had my suspicions. So I've compiled a list of signs we all should have seen that Dumbledore was a "confirmed bachelor:"
1 - All those "layovers" in the Minneapolis airport.I spent my entire breakfast writing this. Note to self: Find a hobby.
2 - First name? Albus.
3 - His title was Wizard, but they all called him Queen.
4 - He was the "headmaster" at the school of wizardry David Copperfield attended. (allegedly)
5 - In the movie series, he was first played by Richard Harris. HELLO?!?
6 - He always tried to show Harry what he called "the headmaster's log."
7 - He always tried to get Harry to touch his "magic wand."
8 - Middle name? Percival.
9 - That whole stint working part time at Deb.
10 - Griselda Marchbanks, Head of the Wizarding Examinations Authority, remarked that the young Dumbledore had "...done things with a wand I'd never seen before."

What...are you smoking the crack again?
You know, I've heard tell that writing can be considered a hobby. *smile*
(by the way, is *smile* more readily accepted than the little sideways emoticon?)
I think as long as you weren't eating Lucky Charms for breakfast while you were writing this, there's nothing at all to worry about.
Note to self:
Amend current vocabulary to include words "can-diver" and "doughnut pincher".
Use 5 times a day for first three weeks.
Use 3 times a day for the following month and then liberally for the rest of time.
Thank you.
