1. Cause I want to know you better.
2. amazing fashion and serious craftiness.
3. See above. But seriously, you're suuuper resourceful in a way I haven't seen before - all the material resourcefulness I have around me is always a little drab and junky (which I love), but your version is colorful and put together so nicely. That was long. But true.
4. Oh my god, that fucking kazoo ball gag!
5. Were the grownups in your life really crafty too?
6. Sheepy garters. yowza.

xo!

Most of the grownups in my life were indeed crafty. I really believe that learning to do crafts is like learning a language - it helps if you learn young, if you learn multiples ones and if it's reinforced in the home.

My Grammie O was my fav adult when I was a kid cause she did crafts with me. My Grandad O had a woodshop and I was using his industrial drill press by the time I was 5 years old. Mum taught me to sew when I was <4, and I build fences and baby barns with my Dad when I was a kid. Dad also loved rug hooking and he taught me to drywall my own bedroom's ceiling when I was a teenager. My Grampy M built his own house when my dad was a newborn, but I don't think he ever did stuff for pleasure. My Grandma M was pretty much a diva and her craftiness was pretty much confined to convincing people to cook for her and in maintaining her no-roots faux auburn hair until she turned 80. I was much closer to my Mum's side of the family (the O-side) and they were really influential to me. They are the working-poor side of the family, and my Dad's family has always been middle class.

I think that the thrifty-crafty thing definitely comes from my Mum's family.

Thanks for telling me all that, I love it!

Aaaaaah!

1. Umn. because I love you!
2. Drawings. Dead birds. And the gift I've been carrying around to give you.
3. Well. Everything? I love your voice most of all, and your teeth. And your for-serious down-to-Earthness.
4. That great walk in the park. My first memory of you was at your first Gal's check-in meeting and I remember liking you so much right away.
5. Wow, there's so much. What's your favorite way to fill up your time?
6. I love this one, and then i think there's one where you're waving that's super cute.

3, i wish you did!
4, fake orgasm memories make me fall over laughing.
5, oh god. years ago. my first introduction to them was not good. i'd be happy to talk more about this off the internet! :) too long to really get into here, you know?

[charlz-lynn.livejournal.com]

I thought that might be the answer. :)
Well, look, yet another great excuse for us to get together!

[rainbowrev.livejournal.com]

[charlz-lynn.livejournal.com]

1. I wanted to get to know you better, which is good cause it's the only way I see you now!
2. Boston terriers and rainbow boas (though I don't know why the boas. Pride? maybe).
3. I like how grounded you feel. I don't know you very well, but there's always this really nice air around you. However cheese-tastic that may sound.
4. Sitting in the sun and talking at pcc.
5. How is the settled home-owning life treating you?
6. The one where you have some kind of costume make up on... some anmal, I can't remember.

xo!

[hardheadhabit.livejournal.com]

pick me!

[charlz-lynn.livejournal.com]

1. I get to know what's going on in your life that way.
2. Poetry and politics and polyester-blend pants.
3. You're completely honest. And you have a wonderful voice.
4. The bonfire. My god.
5. Well, it's like your question to me: Does the teen ever come at you with homophobia? Does she express a wish/want/need for normalcy?
6. VPL and another question: is that your ass??

[hardheadhabit.livejournal.com]

what is VPL? and no, it's not my ass. i was visiting shawna and billy in austin for halloween 2003 and billions and i were at a thrift store when i spotted mrs. 3way wedgie. i was fascinated and stalked her to attempt a photo. when we were leaving, i spotted her leaning up against that truck, so i made bb do a very slow drive by so i could get the shot. i know, it's so sick and wrong!

[charlz-lynn.livejournal.com]

Visible Panty Lines.
I was hoping not, but you never know what people will look like in a costume.
Hahahaha.
I love that story, i can totally see it.

Re # 5... Whoops, sorry, that wasn't your question to me, it was notyourmama's.

[hardheadhabit.livejournal.com]

we are truly blessed in this regard. her not being the least bit homophobic is due to a lot of things, i think. first, i never suffered from any internalized homo hatred and no one in our immediate family displayed any overt weirdness. the only uptight people we encountered were my (female) ex's parents, and fortunately, we didn't spend much time with them. we had the distinct privilege of being able to surround ourselves with all kinds of family for holidays, celebrations and performances.

my personal motto has always been 'if there's nothing wrong with it, then there's nothing wrong with it'.

oh meme train, i can't help but get on you.
