The only withholding of the truth that I've been through was when my sisterthebitch insisted that I never tell Mom and Dad that I'm gay. She insisted that they would hate me for it, and for a long time I fell for that line.

It later turned out that she was trying to make my being gay a wedge issue between myself and Dad, I firmly believe because she was always bitter that I was born a boy, and therefor priviledged over her as a girl even though she was the older sib. Gender always has been a bugaboo for her - I hate to think what would have happened if her only child hadn't been a girl.

In any case, Dad has no real problems with my being gay, and is great friends with der B. But that wedge caused some real communications problems between us for years. And, given that we Whites usually have long lives (Dad is in his upper eighties, but acts twenty years younger), there's going to be a grudge going on between myself and Sis for quite a long time because of this.

*sigh*

Not in widescreen - not even VistaVision - here.

Not for me either, but I am using a widescreen monitor.

I still can't get the "Unseemly Button" to get me to page 2, but I've had no problems getting to the chat board. I, of course, blame a certain oaf from another site.

The book is mailed, BK, and I have some Christmas chores.

Okay i thought i was the only one who could not access page 2 of the notes.

Btw, re: switching the initials for the name game. I think the list should only be kept for the first set of initials. If the initials are reversed later in the day then i think we can keep track of it on our own.

Now, I'm going to tend to some computer stuff and then head downstairs to check the mail and start on lunch.

AOL still has me locked out of HHW (who did you p**s off there, BK?). I had to go to Opera to open the site.

On tv tonight:

Big Brother.

For me: Canadian Idol results.
In Plain Sight (i'm glad i didn't give up on this show because it is so much better than it was in the beginning. I really like it now).

You never take ME to the opera!

This evening I will have a new (to me) chair to sit in while watching the Olympics - and the matching footstool for propping my feet. Yes, I just called the home decor place and said I'd take the consignment piece they were holding for me. They're going to deliver it this afternoon.

I must run some errands now, but I will be back. . .I promise.

But if you lived in Chicago, you could go to the OPRAH.

Try clicking here for page two of the notes and the TOD.

For those who might still not be able to find it, here's the text from page 2:

Quote

Today, I am hoping to have a nicer, better day in which things run smoothly, and everything works the way in which it's supposed to. If not, I shall do violence to both an orange AND a persimmon. Tonight I'm supposed to go see some reading of a new musical in North Hollywood. Otherwise, I'll jog, do some writing, and try to finalize my notes on the Brain contract with Rodgers and Hammerstein, so we can wrap that whole thing up.

Tomorrow, I have no idea what's happening, Thursday I'm seeing Miss Sharon McNight at the Gardenia, and Friday I'm meeting with Mr. Kevin Spirtas.

Well, dear readers, I must take the day, I must do the things I do, I must, for example, jog, go to the bank (if the funds have indeed cleared), do some errands and whatnot, do a little writing and then see a reading of a new musical. Today's topic of discussion: What was the first adult book you read - how old were you, did you read it because you wanted to or was it a school assignment, did you like it, hate it, did it make you want to read more? Let's have loads of lovely postings, shall we, whilst I count the ways that I never want to have another day like yesterday.
