December 21st, 2005the years are creeping by…
We just got back from the first Christmas party of the year… for me, anyway. (I try to get out of as many as possible.)
It was there, at my godparents’ house, when I realized just how old I really am.
Their youngest is 15. I changed his damn diapers and now he has a girlfriend who’s 16 (cute as hell) and he just bought her, her first diamond for Christmas.
Dear sweet lord, when did I get this old?! (Did I mention he’s 6’1″ and still growing?)
The dentist was uneventful. Nurse Ratchet attacked my gums and caused serious puncture wounds, but alas, no cavities. Really the best part about her was when we were talking about where I live and I mentioned it was kinda “artsy,” to which she replied, “Oh are there a lot of gays? I don’t like a lot of gays.”
I accidentally bit her.
I worked in coffee. In Seattle. The gay people are my people.
I think she gathered from my less-than-impressed expression that I thought she was nuts, so she quickly followed with, “I just don’t approve of the homosexual lifestyle.”
Did I mention my parents chose the dentist?
Yup.
You go girl!
We were watching a report on Britain making gay marriage legal yesterday with my parents, some numbnut was saying it was sinful and bad, and my dad said something nasty about him. I’m so proud. 😉

Anne.. me too. Go Anne’s dad!
Wendy… I was just so surprised I just kinda blinked and stared at her. Who the hell pushes their own agenda while cleaning someone’s teeth? I couldn’t answer back! And I’m good at replying to shit like that.
Jesster… rotfl. She was the dental hygienist and let’s freaking hope so.
Moxie… 🙂 🙂 Me too. But I think that’s why I have puncture wounds in my gums, lol.
