Well, I do have a boyfriend now, so I can legit use that excuse, but I don’t like that I have to use that excuse. I hate how I can’t be honest to a guy without thinking that I am a “frigid bitch”. In reality, I’m the nicest...

Kris(bf): I Did! That's awesome babe!
Me: I feel conflicted.
Kris: Why?
Me: Because I feel like he's just handing out grades....maybe I'm just under-estimating myself.
Kris: Just be proud of your accomplishments!
Me: I blame my feelings on society making me feel I'm not capable of doing anything and then when I blow shit out of the water I blame society too for making me feel guilty and like I don't deserve it!
Kris: Lol just be happy and don't over analyze it!
Me: Stupid society.

One day I will learn not to procrastinate....
but still getting good grades even though I do shit at the absolute last minute is not a very good reinforcer (yes, this is a word now) of not procrastinating.
However.
It is a fantastic reinforcer to procrastinate anyway! YAY

And if you do, by chance, find yourself struggling with drowning, then no life-saving or otherwise procedure or act should be allowed to be administered. You got yourself into this mess, you have to live with the consequences.
You should see drowning as a gift.
You, there with the sunglasses! You’re just asking for it.
Also, if you were forcibly pushed into the water, don’t worry. If it...

Kiddo: "Mommy, when I am all grown up I will marry my brother."
Me: "Sweety, you can't do that. We're not supposed to marry brothers. Or daddies. Or uncles. Or cousins. Or grandpas. Or, grandmas!"
Kiddo: *giggles* "Grandmas??? But I can't marry girls, and grandma is a girl!"
Me: "Oh, but you sure could marry a girl, why not?"
Kiddo: "A girl can marry a girl?"
Me: "Of course. And a man can marry another man, too."
Kiddo: "...really?"
Me: "Yes. You know, some women like women better than men. And some men prefer to be with other men. And some even like both men and women. It's just the way it is, and it's all good."
Kiddo: "Oh. Ok."
Short pause.
Kiddo: "Mommy, when I grow up, I want to marry a girl! My friend Lisa!"
Me: "Sure, if it'll make you happy."
Another short pause, during which I can almost hear the little gears in her brain working.
Kiddo: "But then... our baby would have two mommies!???? And no daddy???"
Me: *smiles* "Sure would."
Kiddo: *considers* "AWESOME! So Lisa and I would both get to tell the baby what to do!"
And that was that. Accepting the facts of life without prejudice or hate. Kids are awesome.
