Random Acts of Not Fitting In

judecorpYesterday, my Jennifer and I received invitations to a bridal shower being held for one of my best childhood friends. Yes, invitations. As in, we received two. One for me and one for her. That was weird.
I mean, I understand that it's a bit out of the norm for someone to invite both halves of a couple to a bridal shower (since it's usually just the girls and the boys stay home). But two invitations, individually addressed, sent to the same house? That's just bizarre. The Maid of Honor should have saved herself a stamp. (And she probably should have put THE BRIDE'S NAME on the invitation, too, since Jen was like, "Umm, who is this for?" Since I knew the people I guess I didn't even think about it.)

Last night we attended a little cookout at
Jeff and Melissa's place, on their new sweet patio with their cool fire bowl thinger. I absolutely adore them and I adore their friends (heck, they have good taste in friends, what can I say?), but I left last night feeling so... queer. I dunno.
It's not unusual for Jen and I to be the only non-straight couple in groups and it's not really a terribly big deal, but sometimes I just have one of those "one of those kids is not like the others" moments where I just kind of look around and go, "Buh?" J&M's gang of friends has been hanging around together for years, and that's cool. They're all very close and I love that. Somehow Jeff and Jay started talking about a couple of times when Melissa and Ami (their wives) got drunk and made out with each other... and how they should get them drunk again so they can do it again.
And all I could think about was, "DEAR GOD, WHO WOULD HAVE TO BE DRUNK TO MAKE OUT WITH MELISSA OR AMI??!?!" I mean, these are intelligent, beautiful, cute girls! Gosh, I wouldn't have to be drunk to make out with any of them! (That goes for Jeff and Jay, too - they're hotties!) It was just so funny, because I mentioned that I would never need to be drunk to kiss Melissa, and Ami said something like, "Me either, but to put my tongue down her throat..."
And then my mind went to: 1) Does anyone /really/ put their tongues down anyone's throats when they're making out? Am I weird because I've never put my tongue /in a throat/? And then 2) They're just tongues, people! A little tongue-kissing never hurt anyone, never made anyone queer, and never requires embarrassment. KISSES ARE FUN AND DELICIOUS.
So then I felt like the weird kiss-slut on the patio, because heck, I would have stuck my tongue into every single person's mouth there probably, if it ever came down to it. It's just not that big a deal to me.

Man, now I want to go stick my tongue down someone's throat. Any takers?

What was great fun, yesterday, at pride, was watching all the straight boys who COULDN'T let go of their gf's arms. NOT hand holding, or anything normal like that, but holding onto the gf's arm in a "see. I have a girlfriend. I'm just here in support. See? supporting. Yep. That's me. Supportive. Honey, come back here."
