DON'T SPEAK WITH ANYONE - YOUR NOT LEAVING MY SIDE


so the parents weekend was something that i was not sure what to expect at all - but i left with quite a sense of things - like i understand why the #1 man doesn't like going home that often - it really was a feeding frenzy with him - all these wrinkled grandparents and aunts and uncles reaching out and snapping trying to get a little peice of him - it was like watching barracudas going after a peice of meat - all this swarming and motion everywhere - and god forbid anyone else get anymore time of compassion - when he told one grandparent that he was going to leave that night - i swear i thought she was going to slap him!! - no doubt - i would have deffinetly got some slappin too - since i was the driving partner - hint...hint... - i was an excuse to not stay - and they didn't like that - but oh well -

when we got down there we spent some time with #1's sister and her live in friend? - er.......roommate - um.........lesbian partner? - i was really not sure what to call them - they have made quite a little home for the two of them - so i want to say that they are a couple - but the sisiter kept hankerin for some man - some guy that workds for thier father - it was weird - they were so lesbianic togeather - so who knows - my one major peice of evidence was that when i first got there i went to the bathroom and low and behold in a house of two females the tiolet seat was up - and before you say.....oh they probably just cleaned it - it wasn't that clean!!! - hmmm......

after the party and on the drive home i thought long and hard and i think that his parents hate me - his dad seemed to stare at me - everytime i looked at him i got this glare - and his mom didn't even speak to me but once - right when i first met her - it was even me and her in the car at one point in time - silent for five minutes before i excused myself to use the restroom - i swear - i so completely had this image in my head of me stuck in a corner of a room with his mother saying to me in an acrimonious voice "so are you the man who's screwing my baby?!" while both his parents click the safeties off of their rifles - oh man - but who knows - i just had this feelin like they knew -

otherwise i had a wonderful time - the first road trip i have ever taken with the #1 man - and hopefully the first of many to come -

PARENTS WEEKEND


so as the title suggests - this coming weekend i am going with #1 man to his parents surprise annaversary party - he asked me to go with him - and i got some time off work - so i will be making the trek tomorrow to indianola to this party - i think it should be fun really - i have never met anyones parents whom i have been seeing

but then again this brings forth some interesting questions - like per say....

What do i say to the people in the family that i meet? We are not exactly out or anything so what are we?

this mainly is the question at hand - what are we - what do i say - i will play, of course, the old pronoun game like it is going out of style - why not - and as for any questions pertaining to who am i - well i am a friend - that would be the safest explanation i think for them to comprehend - it would not be needed to go into any further details unless ok'd by the #1 man himself - and since i do not see that coming - i think i will play the part of a mute and rarely speak unless directly spoken too -

another interesting subtext is the sister - or the possiblity really of the sister being a lesbian and her knowing what we are up to - maybe she does - maybe she is expectionally preceptive and will figure us out - but nothing will be said unless directed to be said - so i figure again - the mute role -

overall though - i have never taken any sort of a trip with him - so i believe that this will be lots of fun and enjoyment for us to do something - i know he is not particularlly looking forward to family - but it will be fun i think - no - i know it will be fun -

OBJECTIVE THINKER


so i just keep learning more and more things about myself - but i believe that is a good thing - because the more i learn about myself and the more i think and apply this to the situation the more i should and will be able to keep things good and happy -

last night i received a test from the #1 man - and it was pretty interesting - if i remember right it was a personality assessment that his work does that will tell what kind of person you are in dealing with situations and temperment - now don't quote me on that - but i beleive that is what it is used for - anyway - i am an objective thinker - and i was quite shocked that it came out pretty true - infact - when #1 man was reading me the bio about what i was - i didn't hear anything listed in there that i thought was false about me - infact it was all pretty dead on true - scary that something that has 25 questions where you pick out words that are most and least like you can be so darn exact on who you are -

but on the other hand - i think it is a good thing to know this - it can be really helpful in showing what i will be like in the future for someone who does not know - how to deal with me in certian situations and what maybe to expect from me - ofcourse people would know more if they just hang out with me for an extended period of time - but who wants to do that -

the relevance of the personage
"personality is a physical matter almost entirely; it lowers the people it acts on-i've seen it vanish in a long sickness. but while a personality is active, it overrides the 'next thing'. now a personage, on the other hand, gathers. he is never thought of apart from what he's done. he's a bar on which a thousand things have been hung-glittering things sometimes, as ours are, but he uses those things with a cold mentality back of them." - from this side of paradise by f.scott.fitzgerald
