I'm sorry if some of you didn't get the chance to see the Lewis Black clip. Why just today I wanted to hear the pussyfeathers crack, and I was saddened to see that it had disappeared. Anyway, I'll keep posting more of my favorite comics. This guy lifts my mood when all hell breaks loose..
Speaking of moods, my mood was a train wreck during the last full moon. Not only was that week hellish in both work and personal life, I knew that there was a reason why things were going wrong. Alas on the full moon Friday (as per schedule on all full moons), I got my period. Yes, I don't need to worry about when it's due. My biological clock is in tune with the lunar cycle. It's weird. Like I'm a werewolf or something...I've read that a woman is empowered if she menstruates on the full moon. Anyway, to make a long story short, I talked to my dad that day (after a 3 month hiatus) and it was ugly. Finally I blurted that I had a period to tend to, and I couldn't deal with anymore for the night. Well, he said that he didn't have a bath all day and still had work to do...aaagh do I laugh or cry???!
There is a happy ending with this story. He broke the ice, and called last night. After years of endless arguments, I had a pleasant conversation with father and visited the folks in the evening. There is a God. He understood the pain and hurts, and gave me the greatest gift...a nice moment with dad. That's all I ever wanted. Later he sent a long email, which was full of warmth and generosity. Of course, he has always cared. Only that it was expressed in strange ways..
Okay that's enough sap for now. I had to share it with everyone! And I did have another great weekend! I was supposed to go out on a date (with, ahem, two guys), but they both had to work. I met them at the drag show. Down to earth people. No, I'm not interested in either one of them. But I liked their company. So, what to do but hit the town alone! I got all dolled up and went to my favorite bar (yeah it's called gay, but it welcomes everyone..which is why I love it!). They had a birthday bash for the owner, who is straight and married...yet, gets dressed up in drag to get into the spirit! It was a small crowd, but I had so much fun that I ended up staying till closing time. I wish I had pictures! There I am sitting at the bar, with the owner standing in heels, and yapping away for a couple of hours. Eventually he sat down because the shoes were killing him. What a riot! He had lots of funny stories to share. And I paid for one drink--the other two were treats from my new friends. I gave the bartender a nice tip!
I'm grateful to all the new people in my life--as well as the bright changes that have been developing!

Sounds like an awesome time you had with your dad, and you should always try to laugh. Life is too short to be pissed! I have not seen my dad in 9 years, and before that I hadn't seen him in about 6 years. Enjoy the fact that you have a glimpse of a relationship with your dad!
It sounds like I need to start hanging out in gay bars to meet nice women!
Awesome to read about the old man coming around. You needed it.
Period: I know this is your blog, but that's TMI. ;)
And regarding your dates... you're going out, with a guy, that you met, at a drag show? (Is he gay?)
Hi chick!!
So glad we finally got to catch up this weekend.
I told you things would start coming around. When you are as loving and compassionate a person as you are, how could they not?
Anyway, we still have lots to catch up on...we only got to speak a little under two hours...not enough time for us.
RM--You should go! Heck I don't want to go anywhere else now:) Indeed life is too short--I'd rather laugh most of the time. Sorry that you haven't seen your dad--that's quite a long time! Are you closer to your mom? 3 months of absolutely no communication was brutal.
Aaron--Is it TMI? In this information age, nothing shocks me anymore! It's a part of life. Sorry if you grossed out. Eh, keep in mind that I do have a medical background:) It's a body fluid!
I didn't end up going out with any date(s). Went alone, remember? But plenty of straight people hang out at this place! It's for everyone! That's how I met those two. Actually they're Indian, and the local bars didn't seem friendly to them either. Someone wanted us to hook up, but I thought he was a bit young!
Angel--Aaron would pass out if he heard some of the things that we talk about...hehehe! You know that I can talk to you about anything and everything. I never know what to expect! Thanks for all the support, especially during the last four years!!! Yeah we need at least three-four hours for a good conversation:)
Nice to hear that you and dad reconciled. And nice to hear that you had an awesome time out at the gay bar. Hope you are having a good week.
Good I am happy for you egg!! That is great.
