1-2-3-4-5 Senses Working O-ver-time
Sep. 2nd, 2001 07:06 pmI 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
Date: 2001-09-02 07:55 pm (UTC)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!
Johnny Depp?

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.

Date: 2001-09-03 11:34 am (UTC)Same Sex Couples
Date: 2001-09-03 06:07 pm (UTC)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.
Yowza!

Date: 2001-09-04 07:45 am (UTC)And we'll trade the coolness points - you for Johnny Depp and me for Reese Witherspoon. How's that? :)
Re: Same Sex Couples
Date: 2001-09-04 07:01 pm (UTC)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!
Hee. Moms.
Date: 2001-09-04 08:35 pm (UTC)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.'"

Date: 2001-09-05 09:07 am (UTC)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.
Date: 2001-09-05 10:16 am (UTC)(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.)
