OMG, so earlier I tweeted this:

Couldn't eat breakfast AND make it to yoga, and breakfast won. Later, Slut March and Pride Family Picnic. Westboro Baptist at both!

Now, occasionally I've had random people reply to my tweets, and I got two from this one. One saying something about "Is yoga really good for you?" with a link I didn't go to, and one saying this:

Be there girl! :-) Don't let lunch stand in the way! >[link]

From someone I didn't recognize. So later I was like 'Huh, wonder who that was/what that's about" and went to look...and she wasn't meaning the yoga, she meant the Westboro Baptist--the Phelps clan tweets! Weird.

That's....super weird. So she was reading it as you supporting Westboro Baptist at both events, and encouraging you to attend?

I feel violated somehow, and I'm not even involved. Like, maybe I should shut down my twitter account now that I know this, creeped out.

Heh.

Although it's probably just coming on the heels of my mom's car saying "nevermind" to me and playing me Celtic punk off my phone as soon as I get in that's making me start to thing unsettling things about this whole convergence technology bit. I go through these luddite phases. And then I just accept the new (violation of privacy) normal and move cheerfully forward.

Ew, meara. Ew, ew, ewwwww.

Dear God, I'm so blind tired. Long, long, long day, including BART rides, Father's Day brunch with my dad, and a late afternoon birthday barbecue for one of Hec's oldest friends, and starting out with this event.

During said event I narrowly avoided punching some idiot in the neck when she got right in my face and demanded, "Who are you, anyway? Do you even go to this church?" (at which a good friend who can read my mind after years of improv together at the RenFaire touched my arm with a touch that said Please don't let your head explode, and also don't rip out her brainstem with your bare hands and stuff it up her ass) and then followed up with, "And you know Father [Formed This Parish's Identity And Has Worked Like A Dog And Known No Other Home For 35 Years] is a freeloader. He hasn't paid a penny in rent."

JZ, you're a better person than I am. I would have kicked her in her lady parts and then head butted her when she was down.

So she was reading it as you supporting Westboro Baptist at both events, and encouraging you to attend?

I guess! Which....ew. I think a lot of it weirds me out because at first I assumed she was some random yoga fan saying go to yoga!

JZ, at least you're getting a little press for it? It's a start. Though it sounds awful.

the Phelps clan tweets! Weird.

Weird indeed. And her indie outfit with hatespeech text written all over it is giving me cognitive dissonance.

Maybe she was just trying to win you over with kindness? Invite you to join the WBC Love Fest. ::boggle::

Oh JZ, what an ugly way to push away the congregation. So sad.

::tap, tap::

Is this thing on? Did I kill not only the thread, but all of b.org?

Hi, JZ!

I got soaked this morning. It's been raining constantly and I couldn't find my umbrella. So, I'm freezing in the office a/c and wearing a big sweater.

But, I'm still damp.

I overslept for some reason, but still managed to find my umbrella before leaving. So only my ankles are wet.

I have been too busy this morning getting grossed out by the NYT Vows column with the 21-year-old.
