Hola non-biking friends,

You both have suggested interested in playing in the
water. I am planning on going to either Barton Springs
(more likely of the two) or Hamilton's Pool Sunday
afternoon for some nice relaxing, cool, wet fun and I
wanted to see you. Either one or both of you
interested in joining me? If so please let me know a
good time for you.

=)

Argh. I dont' know why I even bother. This all started
with "Wanna do a girls night out on Friday or
Saturday?"....so I said Friday would be best for me
(was thinking of going to the beach or at least
swimming somewhere out of town on Saturday)...so this
is her final plan from all that, apparently.

It is not a "Night", It is not on Friday or Saturday.
So why the FUCK did she even bother asking for input
on when/where? And, more importantly, WHY DO I KEEP
BOTHERING?

Anyhoo...how is your Tuesday going?

Sweetie is working on about day 2 or 3 of not brushing his
hair, day 5 of not-bathing and not wearing clean
clothes, and it's been at least a week since he
shaved. I am sorry he is unemployed & feeling bad
about himself, but this is just getting NASTY. WTF. I
have been out of work before, but at least I was
clean, if depressed and miserable & self-hating.

I have one thing to say re: e, which is: "Non-biking
friends" ?!?!?!?!?!? She could just as easily say, "less interesting
friends," "non-real friends" .....

I am very sorry to hear about Sweetie's weirdness - that must be so hard
to deal with. *hug* I am hoping things get better for both your
sakes.

My Tuesday is going okay - a little slow, actually, but in kind of a
scary way. Like, there's something I could/should be doing but
somehow forgot or ?? At least I can take a few moments to pack,
though - I've hardly done anything on that front.

Upside: I found a job listing for the Courts Editor of Law.com,
which is a legal news, etc. website geared primarily toward lawyers.
It's been around for awhile (not like a .com startup). It sounds
pretty cool. The headline is: Have a law degree but don't want to
practice? Uh, yeah. Better finish up my resume before things get
nutty.

XOXOXO! Love you!

1575 Hurting Pace's feelings.

Aug. 19, 2003

 

 

Totally bad timing on that, too, because Pace & Erin just broke up.

But...feh.

It all started with Portal of Evil posting a site of medical
oddities, notably ones centered on female ovary & uterus disorders. I
found some of endometriosis, my personal demon, and posted them in my
LJ, just to sort of refute all that nonsense in C--T about how cool
menstruation is and how awesome the uterus is and how wonderful it is
to give birth and how evil and rotten men are who invented hormonal
birth control and how deluded we women who use it are.

So Pace posts a little flippant "Jealous?" in my comments. No biggie.

My answer was...tactless. Basically I said I didn't understand why
someone would willingly choose to be female. No answer.

And then, on realizing how tactless that was, I also realized that
the womens movement members who believe that womanhood is only
achieved by having a functional uterus are also rejecting women like
Pace, who (for whatever reason) have *chosen* to go through with
various chemical treatments & surgeries in order to be outwardly
female.

I guess I need to try harder to explain/apologize to Pace.

Lots of my friends have hobbies & interests that don't interest me. I
have friends who absolutely *must* attend every weekend of every
renaissance faire. I have friends who are as adamant about being at
HFS stuff. Collecting X men comic books, or all the works of ____
artist. Max is intent on covering himself with tattoos (matching his
outer self to that which he perceives as 'self' or playing "look at
me I'm a freak"?) Not my place to question or judge. People need to
do whatever makes them feel good about themselves & their lives. I
wasn't trying to belittle Pace's choice, just really ... I don't
understand.
