What it’s like when there’s no box for you.
I agree with Mitchell who said this in the comments over there … I love her writing – always have – but this is one of my favorite pieces of hers I’ve read.
I still need to write about our Liza exploits. That’s one of the things I think I have left percolating for way too long.
I can’t post it there…I have an .edu ISP so I guess LiveJournal thinks I’m spam, but I wanted to say:
“Wow…I live in, like, the buckle of the Bible Belt, and my campus’ health-services form has a box for “transgendered” on it now. (I know, because some students filling the thing out were snickering at it. I shot them a “I may not know any transgendered people that live in this town but I know of them, so stop being stupid, you hicks” look, but that kind of look is too complex for people to pick up on. ”
I’m kind of amazed that a doctor in California didn’t have that as an option when my campus health services does…
ricki – Wow! Yeah, California needs to get with the program! Please create a box for Alex, california, I beg of you.
:)
“And if I cant have my Cocoa Pebbles in the morning, everyone pays.”
Alex is brilliant.
I tremble in terror at the thought of Alex without her 8 pound box of Cocoa Puffs. Terrifying.
Also, I loved: “At first I thought he had snorted some cocaine before the appointment – but then I realized he was just from New York.”
Sheila…its the Napolean joke..like…um how is her life analogous to Napolean’s????…freakin hilarious…Alex is to Napolean as Patti Duke is to angry!…hahahahahahaha…she’s the best AND an asshole all at the same time!…arent we soo lucky to have her in ur lives???…such a blessing!!!
hahahahahahaha “how is her life analogous to Napoleon’s?”
HA!
But you know, she gets away with that shit. As we discussed last night. She gets away with shit like that and it’s HYSTERICAL.
