Happy Anniversary to Us!

[queerbychoice]

Yesterday was Susan's and my first anniversary. She had a vase of blue delphiniums delivered to my office for it!



I gave her the books Hons and Rebels by Jessica Mitford (the sister of Nancy Mitford, whose books The Pursuit of Love and Love in a Cold Climate Susan gave me for my birthday), Strike Sparks: Selected Poems, 1980-2002 by Sharon Olds, and Pieces of Air in the Epic by Brenda Hillman. I also gave her a sonnet, but I gave her that ahead of time, on Sunday.

And then we had a romantic dinner of frozen pizza. (We're going out to dinner next weekend, but we decided not to go out on the actual day.)

When I came home from Susan's place Sunday night, there was an evil message on my answering machine. It said: "Hi Cynthia! My name is John. I'm a volunteer with the Yes on Prop 8 campaign, to protect and restore traditional marriage. We hope we can count on your Yes vote in November. I'll try you again later. Bye!"

I so wish he had left a phone number for me to call him back at, because I desperately want to call him and tell him I hate his guts.

Happy anniversary. Nice flowers. Hmmm, John IS going to call back. 'Course it could be one of your friends playing a prank!

LDS (Mormon) 'Yes on 8' Game Plan

I've posted a letter sent from Boyd K. Packer on July 28th to the California LDS stake presidents:

Apparently, there is a plan in place to put up one million 'Yes on 8' yard signs at 7:00 am on September 22nd.

Off-topic, but I saw an Americanized rainbow flag of the sort you described for sale in front of a local queer-friendly sex toy shop (or "sexploratorium", as the sign said). Along with an even gayer version, where the 50 stars had been replaced with 50 pink triangles. Would you have been more comfortable talking to the couple next door if they'd had that flag?

That version would have been so startling in its uniqueness that I would have been driven to talk to them just to ask them about their strange flag!

Except that it really couldn't be, because if I even have any male friends who know my phone number (which I don't think I do), I'm sure they aren't close enough friends to be motivated to play pranks on me.

And if John ever does call back, he won't reach me. My phone line is pretty much always busy except when I'm not at home.
