who you never know, might surprise her
I wish her fears about her family weren't based in reality. Hub, who has known her parents for at least 25 years and knows her mom's parents, said they probably would disown her. Being gay, or different in any way, just isn't acceptable. This is still a very conservative/backwoods area.
She was telling me this past week how much respect she has for Louganis. Seeing him do what she wants to do and be gay has helped her quite a bit.
She has the drive to do anything she puts her mind to do. I want to see her get out of this area and pursue her dreams. She already appreciates the people out there that are rooting for her and accept her for who she is.
Trudy, i got my *ahem* from an lj comm involving hearts. if you don't know what i'm talking about let me know.
She should tell him that. I've met him twice and he's pretty damn sappy.
Just heard at the bar: it's a UTILIKILT, bitch!
Make sure she investigates the programs she looks at very carefully--I know for example that some women's basketball programs at the college level are very anti-lesbian (to the point of smearing other programs and trying scare tactics on recruits' parents saying other programs will make your daugher a big gay and the coach is a big dyke, etc etc), and very much promote their "family friendly" aesthetic. Whereas others, while still mostly insisting their players be vaguely on the DL are fairly cool with it. (I have a couple queer friends who played college level ball). Obviously when it's not such a team sport, it might be very different, but...
Is Drew in Chicago?
So that's where he disappeared to. I was beginning to wonder.
Actually watching the olympics here
our floor is finished. as in done. as in tomorrow I get a dinning room.
( we are not thinking about the kitchen floor tonight)
So my baby girl is 5 now! Ye gads.
We went to a kindergarten playdate, she opened her presents from mom and dad, and grandpa came to visit, but mostly today was spent cleaning house for tomorrow. Now me tired.
my kind of athlete. not to mention Paul Hamm's performance directly following all of that mayhem.
men's gymnastics lacked a lot for me this year without the two of them competing.
