Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Now I'm really curious where the cucumber ended up. Tell us when you find it, 'kay?

hip deep in pie

I hope it won't be a gooey mess. I'm starting to wonder if maybe I forgot it at the grocery store. (I packed my own bag.) I am certain I picked one up, and checked it out. Where it went after that is a mystery.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I hope you find your cucumber Sue!

Temptress, sure, but without Eve, Adam would still be ignorant.

I never understood the hatred Judas either. I mean for Jesus to have died for our sins in the manner that he did, someone needed to betray him. Shouldn't we be happy that Judas did, otherwise-- no resurrection, which is pretty much the foundation of the Christian Church?

All the weddings are making me weepy. Especially little olf people getting married. I think of how much my grandparents (heterosexual married couple) couldn't STAND each other when they were old, so I think it is great that these people are still together and seemingly happy, and they get to get married!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Phew! Good thing they're getting themselves wedlocked, in that case!

This is what I'm saying. I don't know why they couldn't have made honest women of each other before the baby was born.... oh, right. Yeah I do.

I swear, for the past several years I've been glad to be from Massachusetts, so I can get gay-married in my home town. To a man, presumably, but still.

And the whole "Jews killed Jesus!" idiotic thing. Aside from it being the Romans, isn't the crucifixion the whole basis of the religion?!?!? Fulfilling prophecy and shit??

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

But I often joke that I wouldn't mind surgery to be a few inches shorter.

You don't just have educated white American male privilege, you have educated TALL white American male privilege.

God, my head is dizzy with work and notes and work and notes and phone numbers and more notes.

Getting much more used to handwriting, though.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

All the weddings are making me weepy. Especially little old people getting married.

I know! Between Phyl and Del (OMG I AM LONGTIME FANGIRL); and a pic from one friend's monster flickr set from Boston Pride of two dudes in a rickshaw-thing with a "54 years together, 4 years married" sign, and a hot young thing to pull the rickshaw; I Am A Sucker for the senior set today. I am a gooey mess, and not in the same way as Sue's cucumber. Also, Google made me all misty-eyed just by replacing the vertical border between search results and ads with a rainbow banner when I went to confirm the spellings of Phyl and Del.

I don't have this. And I had to perform multiple searches to even get ads, which was weird. (Note: test & caribbean queen are not so good, but central services gets you something)

amych - SFGate has a picture of a picture of young Phyl and Del, shown at their wedding.

The whole ever-expanding series of pictures at SFGate is pretty awesome.

t eta Also, from one of the related articles, about folks planning weddings:

But no toasters or gravy boats, please. Like many same-sex couples, Thomas and Dresser are asking guests to donate to groups fighting the November ballot measure.

Jill Sweringen, 46, and Barbara Schoeffel, 43, are planning an event in their backyard in Miraloma Park in September. They've already visited a stationery store to pick the invitations, which Sweringen described as an illuminating experience.

"He made us look through all these books to choose colors and fonts," she said, noting they chose amethyst and creme brulee. "Which is essentially purple and cream. ... You can kind of see why people might elope."

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I looked at about 220 pictures of weddings this morning. I kept having to pause to sniffle.
