  Annie Difranco  I Know This Bar Im going to be a proud parent soon. And no, I wasnt impregnated by my icky dreams last night. Amy just suggested the two of us be co-parents of a black lab, the favorite from her moms breeding machines last litter. A girl. The naming competition will be underway when I get a pic to post up here. Having Amy help to pay for the things I cant afford in order to own a dog (responsibly) is making my dream a reality. A dog to take up to Julian with the family (I could never until it got all sorts of extra shots for ticks and things that cost far more than I can spare).
Someone to go out on walks with. A bedmate for single ol me. If I ever get another pet, itll be a dog. And it will be a lab like my parents dog, Anvil/Annie-Nanny/Piggy/Brick/Stinker/Baby Love. The dog that would run off a cliff if you told her to, but also a dog that would rather just follow me everywhere all day long. Shes a bathroom attendant too  Ive never taken a leak in their house without the long exhalation from a curious nose under the door to remind me that Ive left someone out but shutting a door.
I love her more than most people. Oh, a love. And a nice one that Thunder will like. Hes outside tonight because I caught him trying to pee on the drapes. But he keeps showing me that he understands the logic behind his cat box. Hes a little shit, but I love him.
He was nice last night, only shitting in my shower when I let him sleep in my room with me. ______ Death Cab for Cutie: Lightness Amy mentioned something about getting married in the church they were brought up in. and my eyes filled with tears. I dont have that. But suddenly and immediately after the subject was raised, I became pretty emotional. This was all on IM, the subject brought up by me anyway. Still that kind of affirmation, that kind of belonging The fractured lives of queers. Ill finish prepping for the interview. Then Ill start prepping for that article I aim to submit to the school paper. Yes, Im still right on the edge of tears these days. Please dont bring it up in person unless Im asking you to talk about it or if you can clearly see that Im not wearing mascara.
