wispfoxExcellent 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![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
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 07:11 pm (UTC)See, I think that being visibly [something] is different than telling people explicit details about what you do in your bedroom. (Or someone else's bedroom, for that matter. Or the kitchen, or...
*distracts self*)
I certainly don't bring up anything relating to my social life in out-of-context situations. But at the same time, I can certainly see the value of being openly 'one of those people' even if you don't give everyone and his brother intimate details about what that means. I mean, honestly, even if I were to be wearing such a labeling device, and someone asked, they'd only get a description of what it _means_, and not what I _do_. If the difference here is apparent? I hope I'm making sense...
