It's hard to deal with the fact that I'm not what my dad wanted.(Even accepting that, socially, he's about an inch from autism and it's not really my fault he's a misogynist.) But I'm already a minority, you know? Everywhere I go that's not the doctor or the benefits office, it's like "Miss, are you sure you mean to be *here*?" I wish my family could be the one place that wasn't true.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Yeah, that storm cell over Wisconsin is HUGE. The one heading to the southside isn't nearly as big.

I am so sorry that your father is such an asshat to you. Also, strangers really need to learn to mind their own business.
I know I am extremely lucky that my mother never made me feel that my disability made me different from anyone in any way, but unfortunately I stopped believing her when I started school.

I love you guys so much. I'm really proud of us.
And yes, I belief Teppy is right. You can't live a life free of demons, any more than you can live a life free of fear. But you can learn to deal with it.

The current thread title strikes me as very appropriate today.

erika, I'm sorry that your father can't see how awesome you are. There are days I want to fly out there and shake the shit out of him.

Sigh. Kids suck. Sadly, sometimes teachers and administrators can suck too. (Not to say anything against the buffista teachers here, but...ay).
Finally sent out my invite to have people come watch So You Think You Can Dance. I hope peopel come over, that'd be fun. And the girl I went on the date with, from the internet, on Wednesday, emailed me (and texted me!) from Vegas (!), so clearly she enjoyed it much as I did. So that's good. Though I'm not sure I want to get in her pants, I definitely got an awesome friend vibe, at least. (Pants is still possible, not yet ruled out, though not super likely)

There are days when I want to let you do it, Anne. Or give him to ita as a practice dummy. Luckily, my mom makes up for it a lot.

not your mom's socks.
since I know you're not a hugger
er. sorry about that. I couldn't put what I wanted to say into words very well. Though I sure am glad a lot of other people here can. And do.
still very hot here. especially with the AC deciding not to work about 2 hours after we turned it on for the first time this season.
