(no subject)
Took the day off to get errands done today. Went to a new dentist..GOD what a freak. He was just in this room, no waiting area or receptionist. He was about 104, and looked like the Grim Reaper (without the scythe). He wanted to do some major grinding and stuff, and i said 'i was really just here for a cleaning' and he said 'oh, we'd have to make another appt for that'. I flipped a little and left. LOL. I'm in this weird DMO where the list of available dr's is really short...gotta try to do something about that, i don't want icky teeth.
Finally rotated my tires today, they are happy. Took a little nap, and played with luke for a while...the longer you play with him, though, the more he wants. We have done a little work with the shock collar thing for the Eternal Barking thing (i can't even leave the room he is in without him going nuts). I only used it on him once.....now, if he's barking, all i seem to have to do is put the collar on him and he sulks at me. i'm not sure which is worse. I was really nervous about using the collar on him, but Glupaya said it was doing ok on her dogs. i used it on myself and it was unpleasant but not really painful. If it keeps people from calling the police once i'm back in town, so be it.
OH, good story for Glupaya: back when I was coming out, Glupaya was my roomate in college. I had decided I needed to tell her, because she was my bestest friend, and i was sick of saying 'i'm never getting married' when she would ask about my future plans. Anyway, I sat her down and did a few shots of Yukon Jack til i was just buzzed enough, and blurted it out. She, in classic Julie fashion, was like 'OH ok, that explains a lot. wanna go get some breakfast?' It was incredibly reassuring that she was teh same julie when she thought i was straight as when i was gay. I really needed that just then. ANYWAY so we went to TeeJaye's to eat and talk more, and this total flaming queen named Jimm (yes, two mm's) was our waiter. At some point, he lisped something about 'gawd, sweetie, you have the most wonderful curly hair'. I saw his hand start moving toward my head and i practically dove under the table to get away. The timing was just bad, and it practically scared me right back into teh closet (now, i just want all that hair back). So flash back to today. I go in that same Teejayes, well over a decade later, and that silly queen is still working there! I called Jimm over and told him the whole story (in a more flattering way) and how he had said that to me on the night I had just come out to my first friend. it was cool, in a trailer trash gay kinda way, and we both had a laugh- he remembered me, oddly- even that I had gotten a grilled cheese. He has no teeth now and has a male hair version of what Flo had on alice. OK, so i guess this story didnt' really have a point, it just felt kinda full-circlish.
