Aha! Finally I've found my intro thread!

I disappear for 2 weeks to play on the playa, and when I get back everythings changed.
I'm not sure I like it. Everything seems more complicated and difficult to find, my list of favourite threads has disappeared, and... well, it's going to take a while to get used to.

I have several large jars of the stuff. I actually like it... a little. And don't tell anyone I admitted to it.

I don't want to.
I feel lost.

Grrrrrr
Last night something that hasn't happened in a long time really P!$$&d me off.

We're having an unnaturally hot end to our summer, so last night 3 of us went to the park to hoop and spin and juggle in the evening sunshine. We were surrounded by trees of the most beautiful autumn colours, and had a great night.

Afterwards, Kim and I had to make a trip to the grocery store and get our shopping done. We were walking down one of the isles to get the last of our things, and noticed a guy walking towards us... black eye, and a look of hatred and anger on his face that I've never seen on a person before.

I was about to wait till we'd passed him, and then make some comment to Kim about him looking like he'd just escaped from the psych ward. I didn't know at that point that all the anger and hatred was directed at us.
He started yelling... hmmmm, how can I put it since this is a PG board?... 'derogatory comments about lesbians' at us and then walked off.

We ignored him and went to pay for our things, but were a little nervous about going out to our car. This store isn't in the best area of town, and although the car park is open, it's dark. In the end we went to talk to the security guys, and asked them to walk us out to our car. They hung around and waited until we'd driven out of the carpark.

I haven't experienced anything like this in a long time, and I didn't think Calgary would really be the place it would happen. Most people here seem to be fairly open minded, and it's quite an eclectic city.
I'm annoyed that I felt scared and vulnerable by such a small minded little guy.

Wow, I'm pretty new to the boards, but let me say, I'm sorry to hear that.

I know how that feels, and I hope for your sake, that nothing worse than that ever happens to you.

Makes me sad to know that in 2008 people still haven't learned to at least.... respect others. You don't have to like it, but at least respect that it's not your life and they can do what they want.

Also, on a bit.... dumber note, I'm surprised to hear a guy was anti-lesbians.... Most of my straight friends are just perverts, or course I think I have a good set of open minded friends.

*shrug* Be cool.

Mand, don't let it get to you - he's just a small minded person that you shouldn't concern yourself with. As long as you are carefull to keep yourself physically safe you should just forget about people like him.

You didn't say so I was wondering how he worked out you were gay and what triggered the extreme anger, but hey, it doesn't matter - forget him and pay attention to the positive things in your life.

Thanks guys

George, I don't really know how he figured out we were gay, other than being perceptive. If you imagine your 'stereotypical lesbian' I don't really look it. Kim is closer to that look though- short spiky hair (now blonde), and getting quite ripped from going to the gym.
We did absolutely nothing to trigger that anger other than being there.

Oh well, as you say, we do just try and forget small minded dumbasses like him.
We're also always careful to keep ourselves safe. Not so much to do with being gay, but living downtown in a city where crime rates and shootings are soaring through the roof at the moment.

And to top it all off we try and immerse ourselves in the happy shiney huggy community of poi spinners, hoopers, and burners.

Yup, that's pretty much life with the crew up here... hot tubs, wine, fire, dancing, and privacy from the outside world.

Yikes!
When did halloween get to be just 4 days away??!!

I've still got so much leather work and airbrushing to do for my costume, and so much sewing machine work to do for both mine and Kim's costume.
I really shouldn't do stuff like this at the same time as starting a new job!
