Why are YOU awake?
Me, I just got a crazy-ass phonecall from my boyfriend's homophobic mom. She just found out that he's bi, but she thinks that means he's gay and should never see me again. Dammit, I don't CARE that he's bi, SO AM I and there's nothing wrong with that!

1. Maybe you're both ambi rather than bi
"Bi" means both, whereas "ambi" means either way is fine.

Oh, and the reason I'm up is because I found a picture of Kermit the Frog that is keeping me from getting any sleep.

3. Kermit?
I don't want to know.
:scared:

I don't care so much about the terminology, all that matters is that I LOVE HIM AND HE LOVES ME. But his conservative parents can't see past the issue of him liking guys too. I wonder what she'd think if she knew I liked girls too. Fortunatley my own parents are hippies who are cool with pretty much any kind of sexuality.

2. Because it's only 11:10, and I don't have to get up early.
I have to drive to the bay area tomorrow, but since I want to wait until traffic clears, there's no rush to get up early tomorrow AM.

8. A lullaby, maybe?

Holy, holy is his sacrament.."

14. I am in Montana, surrounded by mountians and deer.
I have only been to San Francisco as a kid, I went to the wax museum of medieval torture. A great place for kids!

13. Midnight laundry.
In the wee hours of the night, I don't have to wait in line while others are using the machines - they're all free.

By the way, doing laundry while on crutches is a huge pain in the ass.

15. My dear otherlander...
I'm awake because it's too early to go to bed!

Plus, I'm a little spooked since my husband isn't here...

He's in a sleep lab where they're trying to find out why his legs hurt at night...

I'm really OK, but I'm not used to being alone in my house at night!

:hi:

21. Seriously, though.... who the FUCK
calls someone at ONE IN THE FUCKING MORNING to say (falsely) that someone else is gay? I mean, that just ISN'T the kind of thing you call someone about at one in the morning. My first thought when I heard the phone ring was that one of my two remaining grandparents had died. WHAT THE FUCK? Homophobes.
