Merry Christmas and Thanks for the Bomb Threat
Ok-- SO I went down to the courthouse today to protest a ticket. When I got there, a huge crowd congregated out front. I thought "Oh GREAT" I'll be here all day long for this stupid ticket *sigh* There was something going on because there were so many officers from the Sheriff's dept around searching people while we slowly shuffled into the building. I finally got passed the security gate and rushed up to the courtroom so I could be up front . There were 10 people ahead of me. I sat next to this bald girl with a tribal tattoo on her head and huge plugs that stretched out her ears. There were 3 East Indian men that sat in front of her and just blatantly stared. I guess if you're gonna look interesting , be prepared to be stared at. It's so funny because I spend my whole like trying to fit it-- but I never do because people are often confused about my gender.
Gender is primal. As humans-- we need to distinguish gender in order to determine how to relate to a person. When gender is ambiguous -- some people are frustrated and sometimes even show animousity. Once I was in line getting food at a cafeteria and someone called me Sir-- the friend I was with corrected the woman and she was so frustrated she blurted our 'We'll if SHE were wearing the right clothes- People could tell" I laughed to myself cause sometimes I think even if I was wearing a dress I'd probably be thought as a big Drag Queen :) Oh well It just amuses me anymore .
So the court clerk comes out and says "Are you all here for Department A and have a 1030 appointment?" We all mumble "yes" She smiles big and says "Come on in-- All of your cases are dismissed today-- Merry Christmas!" We all look dumbfounded and in shock as if we haad all won the lottery. Everyone was so happy. It was the happiest group of people I have ever seen at good ol 850 Bryant. Thanks Santa :)
Thankfully Late
I know it's past Thanksgiving, but I want to say that I have much to be thankful for. I am thankful for my family and though they are far from the Brady Bunch-- I know that they are a big part of who I am and the reason that I strive to challenge myself in personal and spiritual arenas. I am thankful for my girlfriend. Her love and unending support is boundless. I am thankful for my friend-- without you I'd be lost. I love you all for all you give me. Did that sound like a Hallmark card?
