Gay Pride 2006
Current mood: cheerful
We had a great time at Pride on Saturday. We arrived later than we planned and the first thing- eh, person- we saw when we parked the truck was my ex and her new girlfriend. Short background on this- my ex was not a nice person to me, she did LOTS of very bad things including trying to kill me one night. Anyway, I got with Michelle and Teresa (my ex) tried over and over to get me to come back to her which was never going to happen. Fast forward almost two years later, Teresa tells me she has a new girlfriend which I was thrilled about because maybe that would mean she had moved on. She attempted unsucessfully to make me jealous many, many times and all the while I'm not convinced that she even has a girlfriend because she's a pathological liar and makes up a lot of shit- including people. So, anyway... last week (the last time we talked and the last time we will ever talk again) she told me that her and Cindy (aka the girlfriend) were going to be at Pride. She told me that Cindy was model good looking with blonde hair, blue eyes, size 8 or 9, the whole works. Now, you all know what I look like (for reference, check out my pics). I'm average at best though some think I'm better than average. I'm not a small girl which I'm cool with usually. I'll never be "model good looking", you know the drill. But see the thing is, my ex was never a vain person really. She's 23 years older than me and has no right to say anything about a person's weight (her 'girlfriend' or her posing as the girlfriend made several comments in an e-mail to me about my size, etc.) given her size when we were together. So, I know the comments were all designed to hurt me and truth be told, shhh, it did hurt my feelings a little to have someone say shit about my weight and whatever. So, I was anxious to see Cindy in a way that you are anxious to see the dentist. But, low and behold- once a liar always a liar....
Without being catty or hateful, can I just describe what "model good looking" apparently means? Apparently in Teresa's world and Cindy's world- models are in their 40's (when she's supposedly 33), have prison tats, wear clothes WAY too tight for a frumpy body that has had 5 kids, and spend hours at the beer tent and then stumble around the lawn. Apparently, models are white trash bar flies. Hmmm. Glad I'm not a model. And yet, there I was with my young, sexy butch wife and a lot of good looking friends. I wonder why Cindy and Teresa (who by the way never held hands, kissed, nothing. I wonder if it's a friend. Pathetic.) never came up to us and said hello or caused the problems they threatened to cause. Vengeance is sweet, don't let anyone tell you different.
So, aside from me getting my laugh for the day, we spent the day hanging out with our friends Dragon, Rachel, Sara, Shawn, Cheryl, Shalonda, and Shawn's son Ray. We saw a lot of great people we haven't seen for awhile. We enjoyed the company, the music, the weather, and just being around our gay brothers and sisters. Being able to hug, kiss, and love on one another without even so much as a look, something that straight people take for granted, is a wonderful, beautiful thing. I look forward to Pride every year and it never gets old or mundane. You know, one of the best moments? When it's over and everyone is leaving and the streets around Liberty Memorial are filled with gay people of all ages, shapes, sizes, and colors. For an hour or so, we outnumber the straight people. For a time, there are more vehicles with Pride stickers than without. It's an awesome thing that just makes me smile.
Happy Gay Pride Month!! Celebrate and be proud. We are great and beautiful people!
Peace,
Angie
