1-2-3-4-5 Senses Working O-ver-time

[judecorp]

I got up way too early. I actually woke up before the alarm, at 6:45. Ugh, since I fell asleep around 2:30. But I should be used to this. :) I went to church and it didn't even get struck by lightning or anything. Score! It was funny - I still know the Mass by heart, and they played songs that I still remembered the words to. Wacky!

So I went to breakfast with dad and the grandparents, and then Laurie and Donna came to pick me up and we went to see my Mom. That went well. We took the sailboat out. I haven't sailed in years and years. I think I have a pink, sunburned face. Whee! How un-goth. There was no wind, though. Then we went out to dinner and John (Mom's husband) paid - double score! I have shrimp and scallops. Mmmmm, east coast. Mmmmm.

Laurie and Donna left after dinner and I stayed with Mom for a bit. We walked the dogs (two beagles, so cute) and I took the more active dog and ran with him for about a mile until I was totally exhausted. It was nice to run. I felt in shape and happy with myself. Yay!

On the ride home, Mom and I got to talking about same-sex marriages. I let her know that Laurie and Donna are a couple (she had no idea - DUH mom), and I guess that got it started. It shows how little my mom knows about me (or chooses to ignore). Le sigh. Oh well, we can't win them all. Not right away, anyway. I will keep battling.

I miss my pretty princess and my karate smurf and my jodie very very much. And my kitties! I want to rub my face in soft kitty fur and love all over them. Meow.

In less than a week I will be in NY! This is so amazingly cool. I am trying so very hard to think only of the good things and not how devastated I will be to leave when my trip is over. I'm not even there yet and I'm thinking about leaving! Ugh.

Alright, I think I'm going to harass my dad for watching a Johnny Depp movie now. Tomorrow is Chris's cookout, though Dad has informed me that he doesn't have time to bring me to the train station in the morning (*sulk*) so I will be late for the party. Dang it all.

I'm online, and paging A. This is very hard, and I'm exhausted from the afternoon in the sun sailing and the evening running. I am getting emotional and think I need bed. Or love. Or love in bed.

Missing the Mew Mews

[binkiegirl.livejournal.com]

I'm absolutely dying to get another cat. After Jasper died, I thought it would be a long time, but I've hit that pregnant-woman-seeing-a-new-baby-and-getting-all-weepy about seeing other cats, so I think it's time.

I'm planning to get 2 kittens, just so I can raise em up like Jasper not to be skiddish or destructive. I just hope this one lets me have plants. *sigh*

I remember having a Christmas party right after I got married and two of my friends came over. They're a same sex married couple. I hadn't said anything to J, and afterwards he was amazed. I think it's so funny when people try to be all hip and stuff when he was obviously a bit freaked out by it. Twaz a good lesson in diversity, methinks. Sides, they?re such a cute couple. BTW, they're the ones who are taking me out after D-Day.

Hope you have fun at the HooBque!

When we first got kitties, we got two littermate brothers (Daedalus and Icarus). When Icarus went into kidney failure (sad, sad) and had to be euthanized, we went to the shelter to get another cat for the Big D, because he was horribly lonely. But nothing could replace Icky for him. I don't think he's recovered yet. :( Poor little guy.

Good luck getting cats! I can't wait to play with your little kittens when you get them!

Well, to my mom's defense, she is very cool about most things, she's also just very honest when she's not. And I always know when she starts a conversation with, 'I know you won't like this, but...' that it's a) a multiversity issue and b) she knows where I stand on it. Hee. Moms.

Hee. Moms.

[cfred.livejournal.com]

I dunno. I think, to some extent, it's just an inherent thing with parents/mothers.

Kayt and I were talking in the car. I mused, "You know, my grandparents could've freaked their parents out by bringing home somebody of another social class. My parents could've done with somebody of another race. I could've done it with somebody of the same gender.

"What will our kids have to do to freak *us* out?"

To which Kayt replied, "I dunno. It'll either be, 'Hi, this is Bill, he's genetically engineered,' or 'Hi, this is Bill, he's not genetically engineered.'"

Re: Hee. Moms.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Heh. Kayt is funny ha ha.

My kids would be able to freak me out by being conservative. Hands down, that would be the one thing that would drive me batty. Conservative kids. :)

Re: Hee. Moms.

[cfred.livejournal.com]

Play it safe, then. Don't name any of the kids Alex. :)

(Actually, conservatism was the first thing I thought of. Then again, I don't think that would freak me out, because I know how conservative I was growing up. Then I got to college, went online, and between the two, all bets were off.)

Same Sex Couples

[cfred.livejournal.com]

Now, don't get me wrong. I'm cool with the idea. But sometimes I wonder if my brain overstretches the facts and sees couples where there aren't.

I can think of a couple of examples, people I know in various manners. In each case, it's older (i.e., well past college) women who live together (in one case bought a house together).

Again, circumstances kept them from over commenting on their status, and I couldn't exactly go, "Say, are you two...?" So I never confirmed it.

But hey, whatever works for them, far be it for me to go nosing in.

If it were me, I would be thrilled to have someone "nosing in." Then I wouldn't feel quite so invisible. I know that a lot of times when people are trying to 'accept' me, they just ignore everything. Case in point, my mother. My mother made a homophobic comment on Sunday and I called her on it. She didn't show regret, though, until I told her that Laurie and Donna were together, then she said, 'Oh, I can't believe I said "that faggy hat".' I was like, 'Umm, mom? You shouldn't have said it anyway, not to me, not to anyone.' But it's easier for her to 'forget' that I like women, too.

Nose away, Fred!

Johnny Depp?

[awl.livejournal.com]

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (http://us.imdb.com/Title?0120669) alone makes him pretty spiffy in my book.

Re: Johnny Depp?

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

You know, I liked him in Edward Scissorhands and that's it. I didn't like in in Loathing. I just plain don't like him at all. I have no idea why. I think it's from when I saw Cry Baby all those years ago. Or something.

But he was a great Edward. And in Chocolat, he didn't make me ill.

Re: Johnny Depp?

[kungfoogirl.livejournal.com]

He made me all girly and giggly in Chocolat. I don't really know why. But I thought the boy was MUY sexy. And I just adored him in Edward. As mucgh as this might make me lose some cool points with the Smurf, I am a Johnny Depp fan.

Please don't hate me TOO much for that one.

Re: Johnny Depp?

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

You know, for everyone who doesn't like Johnny Depp, there has to be someone who does.

And we'll trade the coolness points - you for Johnny Depp and me for Reese Witherspoon. How's that? :)

[kungfoogirl.livejournal.com]

Your karate smurf misses you too!

[noog.livejournal.com]

I dunno about kitties... but you can bury your face in my pussy anytime...

Yowza!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

My dear, I have missed you and your sweet snatch.

[noog.livejournal.com]

And I've missed you snatching me.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Now that you are back in the corn, I am closer to you and to snatching you away and stowing you in my car.

[noog.livejournal.com]

Oh good! I've always wanted to roll around in the backseat of see your car!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

I can show you the stickers and the smurf inside and my hot, naked body.

[noog.livejournal.com]

Yay! I get to be inside you your car.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

And then I my car will take you for a ride. :)

[noog.livejournal.com]

All right! Can we go down on each other a hill in your car?

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

We can go up and down and up and down. And then I will eat you out drive on the interstate.

[noog.livejournal.com]

Good plan! I like it when you're on top of me things.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

I'm such an excellent lover planner.
