A black open house? Wtf? Dang.
Though I suppose I could have horribly racist neighbors too--I just don't talk to most of them, so I wouldn't know!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
When a house across the street from us was for sale, I happened to be outside when a white couple showed up to meet the real estate agent; they got there before the agent, and started yelling questions across the street to me, including "What's this street like?", "Do you like living here?", and (with a slightly dropped volume) "Are there a lot of [pause] black people here?"
Folks, you are in the WRONG neighborhood if that's an issue for you. (They did not buy the house.)

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I hate that dropped voice "black people" thing. Just because you are pretending to whisper doesn't mean it isn't rascist. My neighbor says things like "I think our other neighbor is a drug dealer because he has a lot of (sotto voce) black people) visiting"

I think my eyes bugged out for a second, and then I cheerfully yelled back at full volume, "Oh yes, Northside is very diverse and there are a lot of black families here!" followed by a great big fake fuck-you-you-fucking-racist smile, and then I went inside before I had to endure any more questions.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
The bigger the hair, the closer to God.

I was thinking of getting my hair cut short again, but now I'm afraid.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Oh, oh, oh....we need to pool our money for this castle!
Well, I can chip in for about ten square feet.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I think tonight, I get my pancakes.
I also have a haircut tomorrow. I'm slightly tempted to do something different with it, but I have no idea what, so.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, crap, I forgot I need to drive to Sacramento after work. I seem to be kind of flailing through today for some reason.

And woohoo, someone called our realtor and asked for a showing of the house.
