A Brief Introduction to the Craziness that is me

Hello world,

I have decided to start a blog. It will be my 11th or 12th run at this, but whose counting? It will, however, be my first autobiographical approach because I have given up on attempting to recreate various themes. So here it goes. Who is Alex? What defines this amazing person?
I guess the first thing people usually comment on is my gayness. I am not the most flaming personality. Granted, I love Showtunes, I hate sports, Cher is my idol, and I belong to four gay groups on facebook (one of which I created). Okay, I am not the straightest personality either. On the Madona scale of gayness I lie somewhere between Jack from Will & Grace and Niel Patrick Harris. I have been called everything from "the gayest person on the planet" to a "bro-gay." I came out last summer and have done all right. I wouldn't call myself a success story, but I doubt lifetime is itching to make a Prayers for Bobby 2 based on my life. Anyway, if my life were to be a movie, the title, Twink College Boy: Figures out Life, would sound more like a porno than anything else.

I am one of those pretentious college kids who thinks he knows everything. I'm 20 going on 21 (less than days 10 days in fact) and will soon be charging headfirst into the oblivion known as adulthood. I am stuck in an awkward in between right now, too young to drink and too old to not know any better. I go to Skidmore College (Go Thoroughbreds!) and am majoring in Government, which is my colleges special way of saying Political Science. It's a very small and very gay school that prides itself in being in the middle of the woods. Oh and weed. The smell is rancid everywhere on campus.

For the summer I am doing absolutely nothing. I had an internship for someones political campaign that I obtained through nepotism, but the guy lost. I even bothered to get funding through my school so I wouldn't have to mooch off my parents like the white person I am. Unfortunately, in the last three weeks of the campaign the evil Bill Clinton (and yes I recognize that I am biased) endorsed the opposition for the primary race, leaving my summer plans shattered. I am now at home, stuck in the seaside nightmare known as Cape Cod, keeping myself entertained through a series of pretentious projects.
