Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, he's definitely a manifesto.

I should put this hilarious picture from my early childhood some family friends sent recently -- I am definitely as unisex-looking as possible, but it's not like my parents didn't want people to know I was a girl.

Punishingly Intricate

I have a frozen pizza in the oven. I took the plastic off with my own hands.

Us too! I fancied it up with olives and sundried tomatoes.

Glad Dita showed herself!

We had no problem using our credit cards in Ireland last summer. Mostly we tried to get cash from ATMs though because the charge was the same and there was no additional interest charged on it. Oh! We did call our various banks and let them know we'd be going abroad, where, and for how long. So excited for you, sara!!

Really?? Skull-print is "hyper-masculine"?

Why sure, just look at the raw machismo dripping off Chris Colfer and his skull print pants here: [link]

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I got called "little fellow" more than once, because I was invariably in my brother's hand-me-downs. My hair has always been short because my mom didn't want to fuss with it. So, yeah. Totally unisex, totally not political. I did get my ears pierced at age five, but I don't think that was why.

None butcher.

My gender-neutrality was political (I had overalls with the male-female equality symbol on them), but certainly wasn't about erasing gender!

The big no-no's are hyper-masculine outfits like skull-print shirts.
So my skull-print shirt, tights, and two different skull-print skirts are hyper-masculine? I had no idea I was so butch.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

When I was a kid, I preferred overalls over pretty much any other type of clothes. My mom liked frilly dresses, but since I wanted the overalls, she let me wear them, though she did usually buy them in girly colors. My hair was usually relatively short, mostly because I didn't like anyone fussing with my hair, so keeping it short was easier than dealing with me running away from a hairbrush and hair ribbons each morning.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I had a leftover mashed potatoes so I was going to make (veggie) shepherd's pie. By the time I got done it was more like a chili pie. That's a thing, right?

hip deep in pie

My friend is parking her car in my driveway on snowy nights when they will be ticketed if they park on the street. Everytime her boyfriend drops it off, he knocks on the door to say hi and thank you, and I am always wearing grotty t-shirts that I wear as PJs and no bra. Sigh.

Sounds good to me.

We had leftovers for dinner too. A little bit of everything from the last couple of days.
