I haven't had a lot of time on my hands lately, but I wanted to take a moment to finally post a big, fat, happy HOORAY for NH legalizing gay marriage!
I have never felt so happy, so elated, as when I heard the news that our state had made the decision to change Kris' and my status as second class citizens. What a good way to kick of LGBT Pride Month, right? :D
Kris and I hugged and cried the biggest tears of joy when we heard the news. I felt happy and proud and overwhelmed.
The law won't be in effect in time for our ceremony, but that's okay. It'll make a great one year anniversary gift to ourselves to march over and sign those papers. Or, if we play our cards right, if one of us gets ourselves settled in a situation that we have insurance, maybe it'll even make a nice New Year's celebration. That'd be awesome, wouldn't it? At any rate- it's nice to know that the option is there, finally. It's nice to know that we're on the way to getting our lives into a place where we can face that possibility with a smile and a wink and know that it's real; the possibility is real.

Meet the Brides
Marie (aka Haslin, aka Lady-Az, aka Morgainelefae, aka Danger Jane) has too many online aliases to keep straight. She likes to draw and write an awful lot. Right now, she's an associate editor for the Queer Speculative fiction and poetry journal, Collective Fallout. She is in the process of applying to grad school. She has a B.A. in the Interdisciplinary Arts from Chester College of New England, in which she focused on writing short fiction, sequential art and illustration, book-making, print-making, philosophy, lit-crit, and art history, among many things. She also loves the color orange.
Kris (aka Saurou) is much better at keeping her online aliases simple. She just graduated from Chester College, with a B.A. in Creative Writing, where she focused on short fiction, nature writing, medical writing, and memoir. She's working on completing a novel-length memoir/nature/medical writing manuscript entitled "Out of Joint." Some of her favorite things include tree-hugging, dirt-worshipping, philosophy, guinea pigs, and the study of human sexuality. She likes to blog, make and sell jewelry, and keep her scatter-brain academic fiancee in line. She's also very cuddly.
Together, their powers combine to form an awesome tag-team of tattoo-loving, sex-positive feminist, literature-gobbling, magic-believery, gamer-geek, academic-minded chickadees. Which is awesome, because they're in love.
