New Year’s Eve was pretty low key for us. I was still pretty out of it with this cold/flu thing I got going on, but better. So we planned on the usual festivities. Chinese food and champagne. While Richard was out getting the food (It turned out to be soooo good! China Max!) I called my mom. Somehow it helps to talk to mom if I am not feeling well. I know, I am a baby when I am sick. But I have been housebound for like 3 days with this! Anyhoo, Richard finally got back and I was starving! Finally ready for some solid food! So we pigged out and watched movies. I had rented (do you call it renting when you don’t leave the house?) 1408 and Transformers. I enjoyed both, but I have to admit Transformers was mostly cool for the effects. Then it was time for the Ryan and Dick ball dropping. As soon as 2008 rolled in my bubbly and cold meds combo had put me to bed. Fancy night, eh? But it was cool to wake up to 2 New Years greetings from Canada in my voicemail. I love that my social circle is on an international level.
So I really wanted to write one of those deep, joy and pain New Year posts. But I can’t. 2007 has just been pretty solid. I have maintained my relationship with my amazing man. We still live in the same place, that we love. We have the same jobs. We have some terrific friends that have become like family, and gained some new friends along the way. All in all it has been a great year. I head into 2008 feeling very hopeful and happy. Happy New Year, and may 2008 bring you something great!
So I would have thought I’d have had more warning about this “Coming Out Day” business this year. I mean, I know people! (I won’t name names, but you know who you are…) So you are supposed to tell your coming out story. Anyhoo, this is me trying to tell my stories. Or story. It’s tough. I have come out of more symbolic closets in my days that I get confused. Plus I had issues with duality when I was coming out. I did the “double life thing” really well. Really well. To the point where even I was confused. Still am, in fact. Heh. But if you listen, you can hear where the realities overlap in my memory, because there were a lot of things going on at once, but never did I mix groups. I kept everything separate. I think it’s my messed up mind, but it’s not.
Cuh-razy! I know. I do envy the folks I am seeing on the You Tube tonight though. Talking about how it was “easy, and a positive experience”. Right. For me it was a trip into the looking glass. So yeah. Here’s my talk about it. It is still such an overview. There are sooooo many sub issues. Sub stories. *sigh*
I would just like to inform everyone that at three minutes and four seconds after 2 AM on the 6th of May this year, the time and date will be; 02:03:04 05/06/07.
This date and time will never happen again
(via email)
So I got another good one I couldn’t resist. Email regurgitation. I know.
You know you are living in 2007 when….........
1. You accidentally enter your password on the microwave.
2. You haven’t played solitaire with real cards in years.
3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of 3.
4. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.
5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family
is that they don’t have e-mail addresses.
6. You pull up in your driveway and use your mobile phone to see
if anyone is home to help you carry in the groceries.
7. Every commercial on television has a web site at the bottom of
the screen.
8. Leaving the house without your mobile phon e, which you didn’t
have for the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a
cause for panic and you turn around to go and get it.
10. You get up in the morning and go on line before getting your
coffee.
11. You start tilting your head sideways to smile.
12. You’re reading this and nodding and laughing.
13. Even worse, you know exactly to whom you are going to forward
this message.
14. You are too busy to notice there was no # 9 on this list.
15. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn’t a #
9 on this list.
