HBFN & Topsy Tuesday

The knife slipped and was stopped by a bone ... in my hand.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FN!

I know you'll never forget your 24th birthday.

(especially me drinking to make my hand stop throbbing and passing out early.)


***************************************************

This morning was almost ruined.

I sat down on the bus, paper in one hand, coffee balanced between my thigh and arm because it hurt to hold it in my left hand.
A lady got on two stops after mine.
She sat down really close to me, even though the bus was pretty much empty.
Annoying.
I continued to read ignoring her.

At some point the bus jolted, and I had to put down the paper to grab my coffee.
I sat there sipping it for a minute, and before I could pick up the paper again, the lady asked me a question.

"Are you pregnant?"

If I had had coffee in my mouth I would have sprayed it on her.
I just stared at her for an awkward moment, then I looked down at myself and back at her and said, "I wear a size 2, why do you think I'm pregnant?"

"You have a glow about you and I thought maybe it was because you were," she said, completely unabashed at my horrified face.

"No, I'm not," I said, in shock, but after a moment realizing that it was completely and 110% true based on what I knew about myself and NG.

Thank God, because she could have really ruined my Tuesday. I think a higher power is sending me a message that birth control pills are probably a good idea to add on top of condoms... so I'm going to go with it and put myself on them tomorrow.

I'm not superstitious but I don't pass on obvious signs.

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd two.

Today, at 4pm, we had bells go off for 2 minutes in remembrance for people who were killed during 9/11/01.

The director, who rarely talks to me and didn't check his e-mail, asked what was going on during the ringing of the bells.
The assistant director told him.
He said, "Oh, I thought maybe QSW was getting married!"
I stopped what I was doing to give him a look.
"Aw, QSW, I know you are dying to settle down and have children!" he said.

No, Mr. Director, I'm not ready.
I don't want to pop out babies right now.
And you know what FN says about you?
He says you married your wife as a nice cover up,
For BEING GAY!

If only you could say things sometimes...
