Impromptu
Seattle Pride was this weekend. A great time... but more on that later.
I live across the street from this man and his partner. I'm honored.
Oh, and I also got my ear pierced (again!) this weekend... at Sin City in Capitol Hill by a man named Sweet Sweet Ted (and he really is sweet, too!). To be specific, my upper left cartilage now has a hole in it. And Sweet Sweet Ted offered to reopen my lobe piercing and give me a matching one on the right ear, too. I'll see. This man was truly kind. My nerves were already frayed, especially since this whole ordeal was impromptu (Z: "What should we do before the Dyke March?" Me: "I could go get my ear pierced.") - But Sweet Sweet Ted was so nurturing that I was about to propose marriage by the end of it all. Z took some photos, so I might post some hilarious shots of me before the needle was even brought out (I have a deer-in-headlights-and-sweaty-palms expression that could win me an Oscar... except the feelings were genuine).
Do I look nervous to you? Affirmative.
The ear looks okay. But, it's tough not sleeping on my left side.
Yikes.
