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: 2004-11-08 03:36 pm (UTC)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.
