On the evening of December 17, 2009, 18 year old Joseph McElderry of South Side, United Kingdom became the 4th winner of the BBC talent show, The X Factor. From the beginning of competition, Joseph won hearts all across the U.K. and on that fateful night, he received in excess of 19 million votes.
And on July 30, 2010 he posted this message to his website. a scant 6 weeks after his 19th birthday, he wanted to tell his fans that he is gay. In this day and age, it's still a courageous act. Add to this the fact that he's adorable and talented and well, it doesn't get much better in my book.
I was born on a bitterly cold end of January night in the year 1961. It was seven years to the day after the birth of Oprah Winfrey, and one year before the death of Robert Frost on that same day. Cool associations both.
I was the first child of older parents (my mother was 42). I love the color yellow. I am single, and fascinated with life.
