Inspiration

Tomorrow Obama will swear-in as the next president of the US of A. One of his biggest supporters from the beginning has been Oprah. I'm watching her show (well it's on in the background) and Demi and Ashton are her guests today. The whole episode is about Obama and the inauguration tomorrow. It's been awhile since the election and the joy and happiness that people felt that day has subsided a little. Listening to Ashton, Demi and Oprah talk about what it means to them and how they are ready to "get to work" and make an effort to unite the USA and it's people is bringing back that inspiration and hope I felt back in November. We will no doubt have the TV on in the office and everybody will be glued in to see this historic moment. Tomorrow will be awesome, one of those days you'll look back and say "where were you when...?"

I will be working a full day followed by a hockey game in NYC. Rangers and Ducks. No Teemu though. Sucks because the whole point was to see him in an NHL game before he retires but no such luck. Maybe he will play next season too!

Yesterday was the season premiere of the L-word and we were invited to watch it at T's friends house. It was a little lesbian gathering, me and T, T's friend from high school Tara and her wife Deanna (they were the hosts) and their twin boys, and their friends Kara and Dahlia and Elizabeth. They were all really cool and we hope to get together again soon. The episode sucked big time, as it's been known to do lately...well maybe not sucked completely since Jenny is dead but as far as actually giving you something with substance, not a lot of excitement. kinda BLAH. Anyway...at one point I was talking with Elizabeth and she was asking me questions like how we met, how long we've been together, the normal stuff. Then it got weird. This is how the conversation went
-Has T proposed to you yet?
-aaaaa aaaaa no...she doesn't do that". (Long time ago she told me she doesn't do proposals).
-Why not?
-She just doesn't do proposals
-I don't mean to stereotype you but she's more of the man and you're more of the woman...
-Aaaaaaa........no..........I'm more of the butch and she's more of the femme even if it doesn't look like that at the moment. It's just my hair right now. (T is def. more feminine than I am but her hair is REALLY short right now and mine is long. We don't have clear cut "roles")
-Why? How is your hair usually?
-Aaaaaaa......when ever it's short I want it to be long and whenever it's long I want it to be short. Now I'm growing it long...

Then it got even weirder. She asked me
-Do you think I'm more femme or butch? (Who asks that 5 minutes into meeting someone?!?!)
-Aaaaaaa....I dunno. Your hair is throwing me off a little. (She had a body like Shane, if you don't know what Shane looks like, shame on you! She was maybe 165cm, no boobs, well smaller than mine and mine are like grapes, no curves really and kind of boyish figure but long hair in a pony tail and I guess a little makeup.)
-My hair is throwing you off?
-Aaaaaa.... Your body type is kinda like Shane's.
-Shane??? No way! I have more muscles than she does. She doesn't have any muscles!
-Aaaaa....Your hair....
-I'd like to think of myself as feminine...
-Aaaaaa (As you can clearly see I was very articulate last night)

Than she went to Deanna and told her I said she was butch. Awesome! Then they laughed. More Awesome! Put me on the spot why dontcha! She was clearly a mismatch, in my mind anyway. And how the hell are you supposed to know the answer people are looking for in that situation??? She made comments about it later one too. After she left they said that she is a little people phobic when it comes to situations with many people. I guess that explains it but I've never had weirder conversation before with anyone I had just met 5 minutes ago.

While I still can (T is upstairs reading "Full Moon") I am gonna watch one of my shows from last week. Have a great week everyone!

Later peeps!
