For dinner, I had macaroni and cheese. To drink, Tang. @set me=5 years old.

This reminds me of the book I finished a week or so ago. Tomboys: Tales of Dyke Derring-Do. Some of the little vignettes and stories were so beautifully nostalgic, so eerily similar, and so poignant that I got misty-eyed. I'm not one that's always rattling about having to be with "the community" or whatever, but I loved being able to read and relate to all of the writers. And in reading the stories of tomboys throughout the last 50 years, miniature genderfuckers who (mostly) grew up to love women, I couldn't help but remark that my family was foolish to be surprised.

I mean, duh. Look at me at 5.

(On that note, I'm going to go kiss my girl.)

I was one of the biggest tomboys ever. Sure my mom put me in dresses for church but it wasn't my doing. For birthdays and Christmas I always got sporting equipment -- and for sports that back then were considered boy sports (football, soccer, baseball...). I did girl scouts only because they wouldn't let me in boy scouts, but I got my mom to be the troop leader so I could do all the "cool" badges (like Computers) instead of the "icky" ones like sewing.

Except for a few odd years in High School where I hung out with another tomboy, my friends have always been male. I really couldn't relate to women at all until after I'd been married a while.

So of course since I was SO much more comfortable with the guys I dated em. It was never some kind of gender decision it was just "boys are more fun than girls" :) I even had anal sex before vaginal sex. So I guess I really am a gay man after all. I blame my gender orientation on all those years of sitting in on my mother's interior decorating lectures. It's made me a trans diva. Er, or something ;)

All of the boys I dated were friends of mine, especially in high school, when I would "need" a date for something like Prom and so I coupled up with one of my guy friends. And then we would start dating, which was fine because we were friends. We always broke up because we were better off as friends, though.

I did a brief stint in Brownies but they bored me to tears. That's sad, because I really wanted to be a Brownie and a Girl Scout and go on camp-outs. My grandmother was active in Girl Scouts, but she was "old school" girl scouts and wanted to do all the cooking and husband-prep stuff.

Aah well. You can come decorate my house.

I will see you at the wedding, at a bare minimum. The rest of your time looks like this:

tomorrow: I get out of work between 7-7:30, and then I'm free
thursday: I get out of work at 6:30. It's Date Night, but I want to go to Take Back The Night at OSU instead
friday: Jen and I are leaving work early and doing godknowswhat. We had discussed going away for the night, but likely won't.
saturday: wedding!

After the wedding, we /might/ be driving to NJ so Jen can see her childhood home for the last time. Not sure.

But I want to see yooooooo!

I think the Other Prom is on the 30th of May. Take Back the Night is an annual rally to combat violence against women. :)
