I gotta work soon, but wanted to throw a post up first. BFF gets cranky when she doesn’t have something to read.
Well I don’t think I’ll be hooking up with Scrubs again after all. I have recently discovered that a friend of mine likes him and, although she knows about us, I don’t think I want to continue to infringe on that. After all, I’m not going to “date” him or pursue a future with him, so I’m gonna bow out of that situation. Plus, it seems my options are wide open as of late.
I got a call from Stupid Cuteness the other night, late. I was asleep, so it was a missed call, but it’s good to know that he’s still around if I “need” him. I’m not sure how I feel about that, being that I really liked him and his flaky behavior frustrated me to death. Although I did enjoy our naked time, I still have a squishy spot for him and that’s dangerous for me. He’s proven to be the complete opposite of relationship material.
And I know that I swore off Vanilla Ice, but we talked for a while last night and I think he might deserve another shot. (I hate that he’s so cute.) We went through a kind of back-off phase after the Scrubs incident, but he’s been calling me more regularly lately. I think I might see him tonight after work, but I’m not sure yet. Hopefully BFF will be available after softball because I’d like to have a buffer.
Then there remains Future Doctor. We still text, exchange interesting photos and email each other every other day, but with him still out of state, I’m not exactly sitting around holding my breath and polishing my chastity belt.
Off to get ready for work now… And I think I’ll shave my legs again.
Peace and choices.
They have finally redeemed themselves. I got a call back from a nice man, in the 404 area code, informing me that all was right in my BlackBerry world. I can once again, send and receive pictures. Hallelujah!
I was so fucking thrilled that I almost screamed into the phone. THAT’S how ridiculously long I’ve been without picture messaging. I was, however, so overjoyed that he started laughing and said he wished he were here. I’m guessing he wanted a celebratory hug or something. I would have totally given him one.
Oh happy day!
Peace and multimedia.
So I recently had a meltdown over Bakersfield refusing to perform wedding ceremonies for gay couples. You would think that once the Supreme Court had it’s say, this would be decided and final. Unfortunately I share a state with narrow-minded assholes who think they know what’s best for people they don’t even know. Because of them, we Californians will be voting on this issue in November.
My fave bloggy friend has published a post about this issue herself, as well as a link to the Equality for All Web site. It is there that I went and vowed to vote NO. Specifically:
I Vow To Vote No on a statewide ballot initiative that is intending to amend the California constitution to ban marriage for gay and lesbian couples. Gay and lesbian couples deserve the same fundamental freedoms that all Californians enjoy. I hereby Vow To Vote No on any constitutional amendment that stands in the way of equality for all.
I realize that this may not be a passionate issue for everyone, but as someone who has friends and family members who are gay and lesbian, this is a big fucking deal to me. And people who strive to take basic rights away from my friends and family piss me off.
Everybody matters. God loves ALL of us. And we all deserve the same basic rights of life. Period.
Peace and Equality.
If it’s possible to die from a hangover then it will happen today. It doesn’t help that it’s a thousand degrees outside. Even my dogs look hungover.
Have you ever had Tuaca? Here’s the thing: I love to shoot it chilled. And I either consume it sparingly, or I drink it like I’m going down on a plane. Last night was not a “sparingly” night. Last night I was on a Cessna headed for a mountain.
I met up with my girl Becca after work and we were soon joined by several other girlfriends. Some of whom had been drinking since like 3 in the afternoon. I was in good company. We laughed, we drank and we laughed some more. Everything is funny when you’re drunk.
I ran into Scrubs and we bullshitted a little bit. Every time I see him I get flashbacks of our night together and I then have to get the hell away from him. I’m 85% sure that I’ll end up hooking up with him again at some point, though. I rarely deny myself good stuff in general, so I don’t see why I should put a ban on the goodness that is Scrubs. The guy’s got skills where it counts and I think I should benefit from that. Again. But for now, I’m behaving myself.
I never did make it home to hang out with my neighbor and his Cute Friend. I fully intended to, but I was having too much fun being out in the world. By the time I was done with that, it was very late and Neighbor was in bed. Maybe they’ll hang out again soon. I’m really hoping so.
I must go now and catch up on my blog reading, asprin taking and water drinking.
Peace and high quality H20.
I’d like to give a quick shout out to all you dad’s out there. I have nothing but love and respect for men who actually raise their kids these days. (This includes Step-Dads!)
So here’s a big high-five and a 40 oz. bottle of malt liquor. Enjoy your day!
Today is my Friday and I intend to treat it as such. First I must get that pesky “job thing” out of the way, then I’m headed out into the world where beer taps flow freely and Tuaca is kept cold.
If I get a call from my neighbor, perhaps I’ll also be having a beer or two with him and his Cute Friend. Perhaps.
Peace, dads and beer.

On May 15th of this year, The California Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage. A decision that I, personally, support whole-heartedly and that made me very proud to be a Californian.
About a week ago, one of my girlfriends got a call from her hometown courthouse in Bakersfield, CA. She and her (male) fiance (who will be deployed in August) had planned to marry there in July. She was told that they would not be able to get married there anymore, as they were putting a stop to all civil ceremonies as of Friday the 13th. She immediately knew why, although they didn’t outright tell her that they did not want to marry homosexuals.
A few minutes ago I was reading my Yahoo! homepage and came across a headline that read, “New law prompts Calif. county to halt all weddings“. I immediately knew which asshole county they were speaking of.
According to the article, the County Clerk, Ann Barnett, stated that “the increased demand for ceremonies would overwhelm her staff and pose office security risks.” Are you fucking kidding me? I’ve BEEN to Bakersfield. It’s a fucking shit-hole, nothing town that most of the state simply drives through on their way to places that DON’T suck. I find it very hard to believe that there are just hundreds of gay couples dying to get married there. I’d die of fucking shock if there were FIVE. I’d also like to know exactly how gays are security risks. Do they all carry guns now and threaten to kill those that don’t believe what they do? Oh wait… that’s not gays… it’s fucking intolerant, ignorant, “Christian” heteros.
The rest of the article states, “She made the announcement after learning she could not marry only couples of her choosing.” No. Fucking. Shit.
Ann Barnett is a homophobic, backwards-thinking moron who should NOT be allowed to shut down the courthouse because she doesn’t want to marry gay couples. I don’t want to deal with assholes, who’s faces I want to rip off, but I do because THAT’S MY JOB. Guess what YOUR job is Ms. Barnett? Marrying everyone who has the legal right to BE married. Period. If you don’t like it, find another job where you can inflict your bullshit on others without infringing on their rights.
Peace and motherfucking equality.
Today is my day off and I am not doing anything that requires going out in the 102 degree weather. That and, although I’m not really a superstitious person, bad things are less likely to happen to me if I’m in my living room. Thank you Jake Titus for giving me several reasons to stay indoors today. (If you haven’t read his post, please do… It’s hilarious.)
So far my laziness is off to a good start. I haven’t done anything other than scramble a couple of eggs and text with my Future Doctor. He’s someone I dated an eon ago, but our timing was always wrong. We got back in touch a few years ago thanks to the handiness of MySpace. However, with me being with D., and him being super busy- we still haven’t seen each other in over a decade. (Thank God for pictures.)
The last couple of months, Future Doctor and I have been in contact a lot more than usual. Phone calls, texts and emails have given us motivation to see each other again. He’s moving back to California soon, to finish up his education, so we’ve been making plans to get together. His family lives where I do, and he intends to move back here when he’s finished with school.
I must say I’m very excited to see him again. I’ve known him for so long and I just adore him as a person. He’s an incredibly sweet, down-to-earth guy. It also doesn’t hurt that he’s hot. (Gotta love perks.)
Anyway, I have no expectations other than being the friends we’ve always been, and picking up where we left off… so to speak. We may have sucked at timing, but we were excellent at other things. I am definitely looking forward to that.
Peace and hot doctors.
