Excellent evening last night, including lots of cuddling which I apparently desperately needed, based both on my mood improvement and a significant reduction of exhaustion last night.
Visited family today; still bemused by the degree to which this specific niece adores me. She has since she was _really_ small (6 months old?), which most children Just Don't Do. And it's not like I see her all that often. She's also one of the few children I know who don't drain me ridiculously after spending 5 hours around her, even considering she refused to nap because there were visiting people.
Nutty.
And, some linkage:
A born-again christian republican who voted for Kerry explains why. I think
tafkar linked to this. And to the following:
Explaining why Gays and Lesbians need to getBlack .
Fascinatingly, I think I'd not blink an eye at wearing a pin proclaiming that I am bi (but, keep in mind that I'm not in an area of the US that is known for being especially hateful about such things. And I'm female, which helps).
But... I think I _would_ be a little nervous (but likely would still do so) wearing a pin proclaiming that I'm poly. And I'm not sure _why_ I'd be nervous! Perhaps because I feel like I'd constantly have to be explaining it, and I just don't tend to have that kind of social energy...

Date: 2004-11-07 05:07 pm (UTC)Oddly enough I've not even considered putting something on my car until now. Partially because one of the reasons I put it on the bike was to increase my visibility (as an object that a car shouldn't hit, not as queer), which I'm far less concerned about with my car. Partially because my motorcycle is far more an aspect of who I am than my car is (my car being a hand-me-down that's useful rather than something I went and chose that really is for fun and not practical purposes), so putting other aspects of my personal identity on it seems more natural.
But now I want a "Bisexual American" sticker. Right between my "Watch for Motorcycles!" and "Remember when conservatives protected privacy and freedom?" stickers.

And hey, if you find 'Bisexual American' anywhere as a sticker or pin, I want to know where you find it!
