Quick quick like bunnies!

[judecorp]

(Is that an expression everywhere or just here in Rhode Island?)

I learned some interesting things about myself today.

1. It's weird being somewhere where everyone calls me "Judie." I don't feel like a "Judie." It's probably as weird as when they call my brother "Ricky."

2. I was told today by someone I've known since I was 12 years old that my current look (hair, clothes, mannerisms) are much more me than anything she's ever seen, and thus, I look better than I ever have. Consequently, she had the most darling pigtail braids today. Very cute. Apparently my mother told her (Laurie cuts my mom's hair) about my haircut several times and always made it sound incredibly unappealing, so Laurie was surprised when I got out of the car. I believe her words were, "I like your hair. I like your hair better than I've ever liked your hair." (And she used to cut my hair.)

3. I like to listen to people and help them with their problems, but I like when people want to listen to /me/, too.

4. I don't like it when it's so hot and humid that my clothes are sticking to me. I dislike it so much that I was willing to remove my shirt and lay across my friend's bed in a sports bra and shorts. HOT!

5. I guess, Lara, that I'm officially "wall to wall gay" now. I was asked today, "So, like, are you still saying you're bisexual or are you just, like, totally gay? Because no one believes that bisexual stuff."

6. I like driving my mother's Altima. It's niiiiice. But I still love Gargamel.

7. I have a hard time thinking about my and Jennifer's trip to Provincetown. There's something heavy and wistful and leaden about the memories, and while they bring smiles to my face, I wonder what happened to those two girls on the beach, the ones whose worlds simply stopped for each other, the ones whose laughter formed the other's breath. I saw a magnet from Ptown on Laurie's refrigerator and I just dropped me way down. Poo.

8. Okay, this isn't about me, but Ryan is the bestest boyfriend ever. Thanks for the email!

Oh man, too weird, right before I saw your update, I was checking out this person's journal (friend of a friend) and thinking how cute her icon was!

"Bunnies! BUNNIES THATS MY THEORY! BUNNIES!....

...or maybe midgets?"

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Meep! Midgets!

[scottopic.livejournal.com]

No such thing as bisexual? Then what the hell have I been doing...? :-O

[auntiesiannan.livejournal.com]

Eek! That means I don't exist! :O

[michael622.livejournal.com]

I think she meant that nobody believes that *she's* bisexual. :) Not that nobody believes bisexuals exist. ;)

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

I KNEW IT! YOU ARE A FIGMENT OF MY IMAGINATION!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

No, no. My bad. Not that /bisexuality/ doesn't exist... but that /my/ being bisexual doesn't exist. :)

Weren't we just talking about this very thing Monday night?!

Ah....now that makes much more sense.

I think.

Where I come from (Massachusetts), you use the singular :
Quick like a bunny!

And frankly, I agree with her. No one really believes I'm bisexual.

Re: Bunnies!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

I wonder if other parts of the country use the "quick like a bunny(bunnies)" expression. I know I've never heard it in Ohio, but we used to say it all the time in school.

p.s. I believe in bisexuality. Very much so, actually. I just think I'm a lot less bisexual than I thought I was. ;)

Nevah heard that expression before...

Jude, I think you picked the wrong week to come home. Heat warnings today as it will approach 100 degrees. However, you are more than welcome to come by my *air conditioned* place today and lay across my bed in a sports bra. ;-P~

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Woot!

Well, it was in the 90s when I left Columbus, too. However, if you'd like, you can come pick me up in Woonsocket and I will gladly lay across your air conditioned bed.

But will you do it in a *sports bra*? Haha!

[prunesnprisms.livejournal.com]

One time your brother was in the neighborhood, as it were, and ave me your grandparents house to get in touch with him by phone. I called, and asked for Rick, and in the background you could hear "Ricky? Ricky? you have a phone call!"

I nearly dropped the phone it was so funny.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's so funny being here and hearing things like that. My poor uncle - he's like 56 years old and they still call him "Joe Jr." I swear when I was a kid I thought it was all one word... and his name was "Joejunior."

My family is so funny.

PS: "Wall to wall gay". LOL!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

That was an expression used by a rabbi in Trembling Before G-d.

[mayna.livejournal.com]

You called yourself Judie to Bill on the phone and he was like WHO?? I call you Jude and he tends to refer to you as Smurfchick. hehe :-)

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

It's funny, I think of myself as "Jude" (never smurfchick, or D'Arcy, or any of the other net.names I've had over the years)... but I almost never say that. It's like ingrained or something, and it drives me nuts.

Probably because when I have to give my name for something and I'm all "Jude," they're like, "what?" "Jude" "what?" "Jude" "WHAT?" "Judie" "Oh."

I call him diannaandBILL. Accent on the Bill. :)

[juliann.livejournal.com]

I'd listen to you if you would just talk to me!

I miss my mama!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

We talked some in my hot bed of love, and I was glad for that.

<3

I've heard it

[clockwerkdragon.livejournal.com]

Yep. I've heard it before...4th grade teacher was the first time I heard it, and she was just a few years out of india.

Interesting. Thanks!
