my recent life: a linkful post
1) We had a beach trip, and now it's over. I have freckles to show for it, though.
2) We had a verlaine, too. His visit was rather ineffective, but still lovely -- we tried to go to the Visionary Arts Museum and failed. Then we tried to go to the BMA and failed. We then went home and succeeded at eating an enormous amount in the company of spillingvelvet and empress_jae and spillingvelvet's gentleman friend.
3) Joined Facebook, for some reason that is unclear to me. If you've got a Facebook and would like to be stuck in my social web, let me know!
4) On Monday, abundantlyqueer and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary. I can't say I'm surprised we're still together, but I'm surprised at how proud I feel about the 10 year thing. I mean, it was no great feat -- it's hardly been a chore, and isn't it a little ill bred to celebrate one's good fortune? Like having a "10 years of being rich" themed party? But proud I am nonetheless. I like having a name for our time together. Partner of ten years is a status, it's not fiancee or spouse, but it's not nothing. It's not nothing.
ETA: thank you all so much! I am so grateful for the love and support of our friends -- including, I would like to mention, aprilkat who took us out for a gorgeous meal in celebration... there were lobster mashed potatoes.
Sometimes I still feel grouchy and hard done by about the whole lack of legal status thing, but how much self pity can I really have when my circle of the world is made of people who deeply support us as a couple. We are so so lucky. ♥
