Well I went to the doctor today and I do have a cracked rib, but he gave me some pills that make the world all better. After, I went for a couple of drinks (which I was quickly informed was against my best interest, but I did any way). As the night progressed, I was also informed that as an adult I should not have a roommate anymore. Apparently, in some bizarre way that makes me less of a person. I want to be very clear about this: I lived alone for the ten years before Katrina, quite comfortably. I choose to live with someone that is very cool and a nice compliment to myself. She is my friend and my confidant, and I challenge anyone to question this. And if any person thinks that it is odd for a gay man to live with a straight woman, I say get over yourself. It is rare that you find a friend that will watch-out for you, deal with your short-comings, and ignore your indiscretions. There is way too much judgment romping about concerning how people should be, or what they should do. I ascribe to being content and happy, which even with my bouts of depression I am very happy with certain things, my roommate and my friends (i.e. my family) are at the top of the list.
People who don't know what they're talking about should mind their own business. Why should anyone not have a roommate? Maybe the singular dweller is just difficult to live with.
ReplyDeleteI don't ignore your indescretions. I LIVE BY them! You're making me all teary~eyed with the beautiful things you said about me!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd having a roommate is quite COMMON among adults. Again, I say, DON'T think less of yourself because some judgemental crackpot says something. You are better than that...and THEM.
I have to think you are probably right Glenn. And Nise, just telling the truth, having a partner in crime is simply divine! hehehe
