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 get Black.

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...

There are, BTW, multiple types of rainbow bumper stickers. Some are the thin strips you mention, some are more normal sized ones (generally saying things like "Celebrate Diversity").

I am having this bizarre inability to remember which (if any?) I have of the various types of rainbow stickers I have on my car... I think I have one...

Yes. When I first saw your car I thought "Cool, who owns that?", given that I'd just seemingly landed on Puritan Planet. It was quite reassuring to see that it was either safe to drive around here with those kinds of bumper stickers or that there was someone who did it anyway.

"Puritan Planet" - amused.

I've never had any problems relating to any of the stickers on my car (also noting that I have a "Pagan Voter" sticker), at least that I'm aware of.

The one pin/button/badge (I can't remember which word is useful, so I'm using them all!) I have on my bag doesn't seem to get reactions from those who don't have reason to know, so I suspect that the fact that 'bi' and 'poly' are not spelled out make it something only those who already know are likely to get.

The most I tend to get in relation to my car is comments of "cool stickers, whose car is that?" - which never fails to amuse me, since I'm usually walking with whomever says that.
