qtip at 12:17am on 17/02/2004So my oldest sister, Sharon, calls me tonight. She chats about nonsense and then works in the question "So why didn't you call anybody to let them know you were going to be on tv?" And so begins a 16 minute psuedoconversation that ended with me calmy telling my screaming sibling that I was going to hang up because she was full of shit.
The more I sit and think about what we did on Thursday, the happier I am that we did it. I know that we made history here in our state. I'm proud of what we did. I could try to say that it doesn't matter that they don't understand what I did or why, but that would be a lie. However, I am drawing strength from this. I feel even more resolved to continue, as my buddy Candace would say, "educating the masses".
Doing things like this is what I want to do, what I like to do....and I'm good at it to boot. This is the type of thing that I get a rush from. Kathy is the perfect balance to my personality when i do things like this. She brings the facts and figures into play, I bring the passion to the table (at least about the issues). This is what I've wanted to do for a long time. If i could get paid to do it that would be even better, but it's nice to know that I enjoy the fight, more than the money.
The upside to this family uproar is my baby sister. She's not a baby, she's 20...I think. She'll eternally be 12 in my mind. Robin is off at college, but only an hour and a half away. So she's been getting call fromher frinds about this too. She IM'd me tonight, to give me her support. She says to ignore our family and she still loves me no matter what. She's always had the best reactions to me and my flaming gayness...and I love her for it.
