(no subject)

I'm at the library right now with Courtney. We're taking a break from studying so I figured I would update. Today has been a lazy day. I did some reading and some homework, but after that I watched college football all day.

I got a call from my mom this afternoon. A friend of the family died. He was in his late seventies and was not in good health, but it feels really weird to have him gone. He was a colleague of my mother's for years and he watched me grow up. He smoked a pipe and I used to get all excited whenever I smelled pipe tobacco 'cause I knew that it meant Dick was there. When I first came out and my mom started going to PFLAG he called her up and said that he wanted to go with her. We went to pick him up to come with us and he came right up to me and said "So you're a dyke then?" It was just his may of doing things. He had me come in and check out all these websites he had looked up about lesbians and gay men and seriously wanted to educate himself about the subject. He just rocked. It's just hard to imagine that someone who has been such a fixture in your life is now gone.
