“This is about control. Women are not two-legged incubators. Our lot in life is not simply to produce children. Those women who choose pregnancy should be able to plan them. Those who don’t should be able to prevent them. And those who opt to have an unlimited number of progeny have that right as well—but they, along with their spouses, pastors and politicians, cannot, and will not, restrict other women’s choices and condemn some of us to death.”

- Denise Oliver Velez at DailyKos, writing about the proliferation of conscience clauses and how the right wing is infiltrating pharmacies to attack contraception and family planning.

Did you know that dogs who did not get enough nursing time with their mothers tend to nurse on other things, such as blankets? Káva’s mom died when she was two weeks old, and she very much enjoys a calming nurse on her “nunu.”

Joe & Cynthia: 1976

Rob & Alexi: 2011

I was organizing the hall closet for my mom a few days back, which is filled with all the family photo albums. I ran across a photo of my mom and dad at Disney World in 1976 that looked eerily similar to the one R & I took in 2011.

Exchange the lyrics “Just ‘cause I said it, don’t mean that I meant it” with “Just ‘cause I smelt it, don’t mean that I dealt it” for a more enjoyable song.

I am incredibly lucky. It’s to the point that I feel like I might actually be the luckiest person on the earth. I could have made different decisions that would have led me to different lives, and I just know this is the best possible outcome.

Sometimes I walk into my room at the end of the night, ready for bed, and I look down and I just take it all in. This guy, my dog, our home…these things might not be perfect, but they absolutely are to me. And I have everything. I have every single thing. And I’m so happy that the word happy doesn’t even begin to describe it. Guys, I have EVERYTHING. And I’m grateful.

More Evidence that I was Once a Dog

Wed, 16 May 2012 20:14:06 -0500

You know how all the pet experts tell you that, when training a dog, you should just ignore them when they’re behaving badly? Like, if they’re jumping on you, just turn around and don’t even look at them? If they start barking at you, just walk away into another room?

Dogs’ worst punishment (in a loving home, anyway) is to just be ignored. They don’t respond as well to spanking, yelling, and the like because they’re still getting attention.

SO NEEDY THAT IGNORING THEM IS THE WORST THING EVER. SOOOO NEEEEEDY.

And that’s me.

Wed, 16 May 2012 01:17:00 -0500

Unpopular opinion: Christmas is the worst.

I haven’t liked Christmas very much in at least a decade. It’s all become very material and guilt related in this day and age, and I’m not into it. Plus, the color scheme is awful. Whatever.

Then today, I saw a cuckoo clock with mushrooms on it, which reminded me of R. R and I went to Disney World right before Christmas last year, and we got German ornaments — a mushroom and a pickle — while we were in Epcot. We decided on them because German is the only heritage we both share. This purchase led to another: a Mouseketeer ears/hat ornament. On our drive back home, we found a knitted frog ornament (R may very well be a frog himself due to his springiness on land and speed in water). When we got home, we put all of our new decorations on the bare, reusable tree he got for us.

As a child, I didn’t feel very attached to my Christmas ornaments. Maybe it was because they were all really my parents’. Maybe it was because I didn’t pick them out. Maybe it was because I was a crazy kid, and I just wanted to be running amok instead of dealing with holiday ornaments. Either way, it’s different now. R and I have ornaments that are a testament to our life, our adventures, our memories, our story, our love.

And now I’m looking very forward to Christmas all of a sudden.

Political beliefs: Getthefuckoutarian

Wed, 16 May 2012 00:36:00 -0500

I am a registered getthefuckoutarian and have been since I was [15].

My strongest political beliefs lie in social issues. I’ll paste a portion of our social stance as stated in our bylaws:

Get the fuck out of my uterus.
Get the fuck out of my love.
Get the fuck out of my marriage.
Get the fuck out of my religion.

Sleeping: Then & Now

Fri, 11 May 2012 02:17:58 -0500

When we first started dating, R said, “When a man and a woman spend the night together, the woman sleeps better because she feels safer…but the man sleeps worse because he’s worried about keeping her safe.”

After about a week of that, the saying became only partially true. Now, when THIS man and THIS woman spend the night together, the woman sleeps better because she feels safer…but the man sleeps worse because that woman is all up in his business trying to cuddle and pet him and watching Scrubs on Netflix until 4am and getting up to drink green tea out of the jug, etc.

Q&A with Lex™

Tue, 08 May 2012 00:01:00 -0500

Sahmmy wanted me to answer the following questions, and I have nothing else to do, so okay:

I am a great bartender. What drink would you like me to make for you?
I didn’t drink until I was 21, and I didn’t drink anything but margaritas from El Giro until I was 24. I’m 25 now, if that helps anyone’s mind blow more quickly. What I’m trying to say is that my palate is still very immature when it comes to cocktails…but I would LOVE a rum and pineapple…easy on the rum and heavy on the pineapple.
If you were reincarnated, what or who do you think you were in a past life?
I’m having a great life as a human being now, so I assume I did some hard time as something we typically consider “lesser.” I really relate to dogs, though, I do. I ‘get’ them, and we know how to make each other happy. Maybe I was a shelter dog.
Have you ever had an experience with a ghost?
Several! Few people believe me…but why would I purposefully make myself look like I’m batshit insane unless it were true?
If facial features or your God given locks was no barrier, how would you like to wear your hair?
I do love my long, blonde hair, and thank God because my round, Czech face needs it to elongate. However, if my face was less circular and my nose was less hooked, I’d love to try a pixie cut like Emma Watson had. She looked incredible, and WAIT CAN I JUST BE EMMA WATSON INSTEAD?!
If you could perform stand up, what would your style of humor be?
Self-depracation is totally my brand.
How naked would you willingly get in public at your age right now?
How public are we talking? And are there society’s ideal “hot girls” around? Oh, forget it. I cringe about having to wear a bikini to the beach. My thighs just ain’t what they used to be.
The party sucks but you discover they have this beer, this band, and this guest? What and who are they?
Oh my GOD! It’s that magical beer that turns into Dr. Brown’s Black Cherry Soda with that chipped ice that is so good! AND WUT?! — CCR has reunited with John Fogerty and they’re here. JOHN GOODMAN (who I can’t decide if I want to marry you or have you be my dad), IS THAT YOU?!
Who will star as you in your Lifetime movie?
One time, back during, like, Josie and the Pussycats, this kid Peter Lyrene said he would cast Tara Reid as me in the story of HIS life. And at the time, I was a little flattered. Now, I’m like WTF. I would love if 1960s Brigitte Bardot could play me. But if no time machine is available, I’ll gladly take Chloe Sevigny.
Who on Tumblr would you most like to have coffee with if the globe and day care were not obstacles?
See, that’s just mean. It’s basically a 30-way tie. So, no comment.
Which of the 7 deadly sins have you committed the most?
Sloth, maybe? I’m so content to just laze around. But also envy…I am so envious of tall chicks and their mega long legs, chicks who don’t have rolls on their stomachs when they sit down, people with effortlessly clear skin, etc.
If you were an actor, what type of films would you ask your agent to get you?
Anything that makes women look witty, smart, sexy, and bad-ass all at once.
