When gay marriage was first legalized in California, I was excitedly emailing people this article about these two activists who had been together for 50 or so years. I had seen the pair on a documentary called Last Call At Maud's and they were so adorable. Here's the article about their wedding:

Well, today, I was reading posts on an LJ community I frequent and someone posted this:

I feel worse than sad. I feel completely indescribable.

.mountain bound.
We're packed and ready for our trip to the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee. It's been a long day and I am so exhausted my bones ache and my eyes hurt. I'm prepared to collapse, but can't yet. We still have the drive to Kathy's brother's house before I can crash -- and even then, probably only an hour. I am hoping I survive this week with a shred of sanity, among other things. Anyway, I will attempt to keep a log of the trip and post again when I return. I bid you adieu until next weekend!

.violent thoughts.
There's this guy who works for my boss's husband as his general manager. The last several days he has taken to patting me on the shoulder as a greeting. If you know me well, you know that I do NOT like being touched by strange people. I feel myself tense up every time he does it and I find myself fantasizing about stabbing him in the eye with my ball-point pen. Argh.
