My parents and I love to argue, especially about religion and such. Somehow the subject of homosexuality came up today. My dad stated, once again, that he thinks it is a sad thing, that if any of his kids were gay, they would have to move to San Francisco to find their 'community.'
Now, I've told my mom, not dad. But mom kept mum, still in denial I suppose.
I said, "Well, dad, let's say I were gay. Would you send me to one of those Christian Camps to be cured?"
Dad: "I would research every venue I could, until I was sure there was no possible way to change it. And then, if there was really no way, I would show you so much support, why, I might become gay myself."

It was this odd mix of offense/warmth that keeps me miserable but happy in this family.

I'm going to just come out plain and simple soon, no beating around the bush (um, yeah). Or I can do it this way

video parodies

Old, but I like them and finally found them on Youtube.

Mad TV parodying Destiny Child's video "Emotions"

Deep House Dish (SNL's take on the house music scene)


With the awesome Kristin Wiig singing "Tired"
Maya Rudolph "Tiny Moves"

my sis

I think I'm mentioned before my obsessive-compulsive nature over people sitting/ laying in my bed. I think it's gross. Some people didn't know this, like Nancy, but since they were my guest I didn't say anything. My sister should have gotten it by now, though.


Me (walks in to see Jenn laying in my bed): Jennifer! What are you doing?!
Jennifer: Hi.
Me: What..you have your own bed. Why don't you go there?
Jennifer: I peed in it.
Me: Get. Out.


(picking up buffalo wings to-go for dinner.)

Me: Ugh.
*rolls down the window
Jennifer: Hey, roll the window back up.
Me: No, the Parmesan wings smell like ass.
Jennifer(wistfully): I wish my ass smelled like that.

Me (driving) : Ooh! I think they're throwing that bbq grill away. Let's get it!
Jennifer: No! Gosh, what is up with you taking people's trash? Mom and dad already have a grill. Use that.
Me: I'm not going to live at home forever jenn. I'm collecting stuff for my future home. I'm nesting.
Jennifer: That sounds weird.
Me: Fine. (drives on)
Jennifer: So you got any crushes? hmm?
Me: No.
Jennifer: Really? New crushes? Anyone?
Me: No, nothing. (sings softly in falsetto) Makin' love, outta nothing at all.
Jennifer: Depressing.
Jennifer (sighs): Ok, let's get that bbq for you then.
Me: Yay! Would it make you sad if you saw me staying up all night, polishing it?
Jennifer: I would cry for so many reasons.

gaydar

What is gaydar? Is it real? I wish I had it, because I need to sotp falling for straight girls, and I'm too shy to go to bars and places and chill with total strangers by myself.
Where can I buy a gaydar? at the Gaymart?

Crushes

I've never gotten to talk about my crushes to anyone before, now is the time to start!

1) Kristin Wiig- Cute and funny. She's really skinny now on SNL, and I kinda liked her better when she was rounder and performing with the Groundlings. So smart and girl-next-doorish, but so much more. I love the little smile she gives when she's singing that song on the Deep House Dish skit "Tired" *youtube has it* and her Penelope character cracks me up.

2) Ellen and Portia- Er, not into threesomes, but I'll take either.

3) Tina Fey- I used to like her a lot, but it has waned because she's grown to resemble my 3rd grade teacher and it kinda creeps me out.

4) Claire Danes- She reminds me of this girl I crushed on in high school, and she's just beautiful in her newest movie, Stardust. Sigh. I hope I can find someone who makes me shine.

5) Hilary Clinton- I was feeling bad all these other women were solely from TV. And why not hilary? She's smart, witty. i don't know, there's something about that twinkle in her eye that catches me.

6) Angelina Jolie- Do I need to explain?

7) Milla Jov...that girl from Resident Evil- kick ass! and hot! ...and hot!

I will be thinking of more, I know i'm missing a few.

16 month old neice throws a temper tantrum. It's horrible. She pulls off her diapers, screams and then flops down in the middle of the kitchen floor.

Julie: She's like this all the time. If she had been the first, I wouldn't have had anymore children.
Me: Babies do that when they get frustrated trying to communicate.
(watches as baby proceedes to flop around the floor more.)
Me: It'll be over soon.
Julie: Yeah...
Me: for me.
Julie: Awww, you get to go home, but we're stuck here. (points to my cousins Phil and Robin) They're stuck too.
Phil: Yeah. Heh Heh!(turns quicky with a desperate look and whispers behind his hand ) Help us!

Don't buy that prius

Not if you're buying it to save the environment.
Public health school..2 days and I'm already learning so much.

There's a lot of articles online about how Hummers use less energy than the Prius when you total in production and lifetime.
While I find it kind of shady, the bottom line is that the Prius will use up more energy via production (mining the nickel, shipping the nickel via ...ships...that guzzle oil, etc.) then it will save in gas.

Here is the original article with the hummer comparison:

Building a Toyota Prius causes more environmental damage than a Hummer that is on the road for three times longer than a Prius.As already noted, the Prius is partly driven by a battery which contains nickel. The nickel is mined and smelted at a plant in Sudbury, Ontario. This plant has caused so much environmental damage to the surrounding environment that NASA has used the ‘dead zone’ around the plant to test moon rovers. The area around the plant is devoid of any life for miles.The plant is the source of all the nickel found in a Prius’ battery and Toyota purchases 1,000 tons annually. Dubbed the Superstack, the plague-factory has spread sulfur dioxide across northern Ontario, becoming every environmentalist’s nightmare.“The acid rain around Sudbury was so bad it destroyed all the plants and the soil slid down off the hillside,” said Canadian Greenpeace energy-coordinator David Martin during an interview with Mail, a British-based newspaper.All of this would be bad enough in and of itself; however, the journey to make a hybrid doesn’t end there. The nickel produced by this disastrous plant is shipped via massive container ship to the largest nickel refinery in Europe. From there, the nickel hops over to China to produce ‘nickel foam.’ From there, it goes to Japan. Finally, the completed batteries are shipped to the United States, finalizing the around-the-world trip required to produce a single Prius battery. Are these not sounding less and less like environmentally sound cars and more like a farce?Wait, I haven’t even got to the best part yet.When you pool together all the combined energy it takes to drive and build a Toyota Prius, the flagship car of energy fanatics, it takes almost 50 percent more energy than a Hummer - the Prius’s arch nemesis.Through a study by CNW Marketing called “Dust to Dust,” the total combined energy is taken from all the electrical, fuel, transportation, materials (metal, plastic, etc) and hundreds of other factors over the expected lifetime of a vehicle. The Prius costs an average of $3.25 per mile driven over a lifetime of 100,000 miles - the expected lifespan of the Hybrid.The Hummer, on the other hand, costs a more fiscal $1.95 per mile to put on the road over an expected lifetime of 300,000 miles. That means the Hummer will last three times longer than a Prius and use less combined energy doing it.

1st real interview

I interviewed with San Antonio last week. One professor asked me if my hobbies included Art history. I said truthfully no, though I had taken a general course or two about Art appreciation and history. She explains that Pathology and Art parallel in that one develops the visual acumen to identify markers that reveal the artist/cause of the piece/specimen.
I almost said, "Well, I liked playing 'Where's Waldo' as a kid," but I realized that while looking for a plasma cell in a sea of endometrium might be similar to finding Waldo, the comparison was lacking a lot of what the Art History analogy covered. So I kept mum, and I believe wisely so.

I came out to my sister and my mom three years ago.
If there had been a giant explosion, I would have been ready. If there had been nonchalant acceptance, I would have cried in relief.
Instead, they just ignored it. I could have screamed and it would have been as if I was not there.
It's been awhile, but I think I'm ready for round number two.
