Won't let you know anything else, but I ended up liking it after I got out of the funk it put me in. :)That Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14437878362917429447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5816147226417130386.post-29532395846667994522010-09-16T16:36:52.177-07:002010-09-16T16:36:52.177-07:00@Chandelle: yessss. you know what is nice though, ...@Chandelle: yessss. you know what is nice though, when it can happen? when you meet with someone who doesn't know about yr mormon history and so they don't look at you like you're just turning 21 and having your first drink.<br /><br />i swear, that bugs the SHIT out of me.<br /><br />like today, "you drink <i>coffee</i>?"<br /><br />yesyesyes, i do. of course i do. i don't believe in that bullshit anymore. hi, i'm a grownup like you!<br /><br />keep me updated on the car situation, k? if you can't come we probably won't. still dunno if we can (in process of convincing eric we, uhm, should--pay cuts, skyrocketing insurance, yeah)<br /><br />it would be nice to go, even aside from the post-mo thing. i need to get out of town.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10268689890561878413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5816147226417130386.post-71649702329380702222010-09-16T16:26:59.279-07:002010-09-16T16:26:59.279-07:00Dude.

Just today, I hung out with a friend who isn't Mormon, has never been Mormon, has never really known a Mormon, doesn't know much about Mormonism (i.e. asked what percentage of Mormons are polygamists), and still I found myself talking about it. WTF is wrong with me? There's something that just isn't resolved, after all this time. (I MUST REALLY KNOW IT'S TRUE!!!) <br /><br />Anyway, I hope we can work it out to meet up in SF. The check-engine light is on in our car so it's not looking good. But if there's nothing seriously wrong, I'm planning on it.Chandellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02469510353021344718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5816147226417130386.post-11709154119707613492010-09-15T18:21:30.849-07:002010-09-15T18:21:30.849-07:00i always read, even when i'm not commenting.

But then I think, I talk about the anti-gay community, racists, Islamophobes, pro-genital mutilation people, and a lot of other things that tick me off. I talk about it a lot. I'd prefer it didn't even exist, but they all persist in causing harm to people I love, so I guess I need to say something about it, right? Maybe if mormons weren't trying to stop my brother and other gay friends from getting married and taking my husband's brothers away for a two-year mission so they miss things like our wedding I wouldn't be so upset.
