Because we never really know each other as well as we think, in response to this post I'd like you to ask a question. Anything about which you are curious, anything you feel you ought to know about me. Silly, serious, personal, fannish. Ask away. Then copy this to your own journal, and see what people don't know about you.

are you glad that you moved out to w.ma?

From: [identity profile] judecorp.livejournal.com
Yes and no. Yes because it's beautiful and quiet and full of hippies and it smells good and I have a yard.

No because we just got another freaking foot of snow... and because a lot of interpersonal things didn't really happen here the way I thought they would/wanted them to.

If they were paying decent money, sure! Of course, WHY they would want me in their magazine is another thing entirely. ;)

Do you think you'll have more children? If so, will you get pregnant again or Jen or will you try to adopt?

Date: 2008-01-15 02:06 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] judecorp.livejournal.com
Sadly some of it depends on finances, but Jen really wants to have a baby. If for whatever reason that didn't work out, I think we would adopt through foster care. I don't know that I would ever have a baby again. I really liked being pregnant but I still feel really guilty that Punk wasn't able to be breastfed, and I think kids should be breastfed if at all possible. So hopefully Jen will be able to do that.

Oh wow, I never thought of that!

Umm... umm... I don't really care at all. Like not even a little bit. It matters zero to me. I just hope she finds a person (or two) that treats her well and loves her as much as she deserves to be loved.

That's a lot of questions! CHEATER!! ;)

I have known Jen since 1995. We were both involved in the same online community and it would have frequent parties in random places. A lot of those places were on the East Coast and I went to most of them. In 1995, Jen went to one at a friend's house in MA and we became friends. We have been friends ever since, although she did sort of lose track of everyone for a while when she was in grad school in CA.

After A. and I got divorced, I started seeing [livejournal.com profile] kungfoogirl who I also knew vaguely through the same online community (and umm, she also dated my brother *hides*). She had stayed online (I had dropped off the radar) and I guess Jen had gotten back on when she was breaking up with her long-term girlfriend/fiancee. So [livejournal.com profile] kungfoogirl and Jen got to chatting, and somehow the chatting was about me, and Jen asked C to pass me her info. I called her on her birthday (easy to remember, it's the same day as mine!) and we got back in touch.

She started wooing me hardcore after that and we decided to travel together to a New Year's party in Delaware (internet peeps) and after a lot of dramarama, proceeded to do a lot of making out and have been together ever since.

We are married (thank you, Massachusetts) and were married on May 13, 2005 in Boston City Hall on a random afternoon when I took a half-day off work. [livejournal.com profile] carina_s and [livejournal.com profile] gimmeapony were sort of randomly our witnesses. Then we went out for sandwiches. Then I called my mother. She was pretty pissed about that. ;)

On the Road by Jack Kerouac is my favorite favorite. However, I am also very fond of Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson and The Boys From Brazil by Ira Levin and The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton. And many more.

Hey its Married Lesbian Mom (Melissa)...

Do you ever wish for the days of being kid free...if just for a moment....?

Re: Question

From: [identity profile] judecorp.livejournal.com
There are a couple of kid-free things I miss sometimes, like:

being able to take a shower when I want to
eating when I am hungry
getting a full night's sleep
driving without worrying about a baby in the back

However, I wouldn't trade any of it for a second. Ever.

What has been the best change in your life since Gus was born? What about the worst?

Date: 2008-01-16 01:38 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] judecorp.livejournal.com
Well, the best change - I really and truly, 100% without a doubt, learned what love is. Now I'm much, erm, stricter in my relationship because I have a bigger, better definition of love.

The worst change is how much Jen and I have struggled as a couple. Between the lack of sleep, the changes in roles, the stresses of different medical issues with the baby, the lack of time for intimacy, etc.... well, it hasn't been pretty most of the time.

can you expound on your diapering experience with Gus? You are using cloth right? What are the ups and downs of your experience???

Date: 2008-01-16 01:47 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] judecorp.livejournal.com
Yes, we cloth. We do use one disposable diaper at night, mostly because we don't want to wake her up to change her and when she sits in cloth pee like that, she gets a rash. So in the disposable, we're able to slather on the zinc oxide cream.

We started with prefolds and covers when she was a smaller baby. I loved them because they are so easy - you don't have to stuff them or fold them or put them together or whatever, just throw them in a pile and the covers don't need to be washed as much. It was awesome but they were prefolds/covers that we borrowed from friends and they were small. She grew out of them. *sniff*

Now we predominantly use bumGenius 2.0 one-size pocket diapers. They are microfiber and PUL and they hold a LOT of pee. Like, a lot a lot. We could easily use them overnight with a little bit of stuffing but I am paranoid of butt creams on my diapers. I love the bGs for ease of use, absorbency, etc. I just hate stuffing the stuffers back into the pockets after I wash them. But it's a small price to pay. I also, I'm not going to lie, don't love rinsing the poo out every day. ;) But I love using cloth!

are you friends with your exes?

Date: 2008-01-16 01:44 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] judecorp.livejournal.com
Most of them, yes. The significant ones for sure. I currently am in active contact with both my Big Deal Super Serious High School Boyfriend and my Ex-Husband, as well as a bunch of people I dated/hooked up with/etc. And the ones I'm not in contact with I would be friendly and chatty with if we saw each other. I am a phenomenal keeper-in-toucher.

There is one ex that I have no desire to speak to - a high school boyfriend who I remember only for his "bad touches" - but that's about it.

ok- another question and a favor at the same time. can you get a ruler and measure August's feet and hands and tell me their length in centimeters? From heel to tip of big toe, and from heel of hand to tip of middle finger? people keep telling me that Harris' hands and feet are humungoid and I would like to compare!

I am going to have to find a ruler, but when I do, sure!

I'm not going to be much help, though - August's feet are teeny weeny!

Are you and Jen planning to have more kids? =)

Date: 2008-01-16 12:25 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] judecorp.livejournal.com
Jen would like to have a baby, and I would love to have more kids. Hopefully we will someday have money because while we are floating along (thank you, savings) with one kid, we would need more money for #2 (especially for sperm, etc.). So we'll have to see what happens.

If for whatever reason it doesn't work out for Jen to have a baby, I'd probably like to go back to my original plan of foster-to-adopting.
