Also, you can tell it's not gonna have a happy ending when the main guy's all bumpy.

Indeed, I hope everything goes smoothly and painlessly, Suzi. Good luck!

msbelle, I value your courage in taking a stand. I'm so bad at personal political conflict.

Once I had a roommate's boyfriend ask me how I could be Catholic, because (and I kid you not) "Jesus was a Jew." Apparently his anti-semitism was so huge that it trumped everything else. Or possibly he thought that all Christians were hypocritically anti-semitic, I'm not sure. I couldn't bring myself to dig into his logic, and hastily fled the kitchen.

In other news, my dad has a new upper plate, yay. But the dealership can't fix my car stereo, and I suspect I won't be able to get it done cheaply and will just have to suffer without an iPod in the car for some time. Anyone know how much it would cost to replace a factory-installed stereo with one that actually, you know, works?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good luck with everything, Suzi!

Uh, what? I...don't even get where he was going. Did he think you should be Jewish? Or not religious at all? Or...huh??

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I think that he thought that nobody should be Christian because Christ was Jewish. But like I said, I was afraid to ask any questions.

I take it all in stride as long as it is not being attacky. I mean, I'm Awesome is pretty much the position I start with and go from there.

I also tend to say that I am not an expert and I fully own that not all of it is gonna make sense, but if I am gonna pick and choose, I am gonna go on the side of inclusion. I did tell this guy that people who condemn and vilify gays could come talk to me when they spend the same time and energy on adulterous heteros. I may still not agree with them, but they would be on more consistent footing. Don't wanna allow the gays, go for it, but stop telling me I have to do the same, hatey mchate hate.

Preop appt went great. I don't have to go no weight bearing on that foot. I can use my heel. That was almost the best news. Better was discovering my doc is a cello total Iron Maiden fan.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Well, who wouldn't like Iron Maiden on the cello?

Seriously, I'm glad it went well, and I hope the surgery and recovery are easy peasy.

The smart career move would be to choose the work dinner, but I think I'm going to choose friends.

That's probably the smart life choice, at least on occasion.
