So Excited

Two young men we know from Drag Bingo (not drag queens) are getting married next Saturday.
I cried about three times last night I was so damn happy for them.

B.'s parents are not supportive (they're not being ugly about it, they just can't get on board, even though they love C.), so Nancy and I are Mom stand-in's.

I told you we are on the Planning Committee for next year, didn't I? Maybe not. B. is also on committee.
Seriously excited.

I love this poem. Lifted from a moon, worn as if it had been a shell:

Success Story

My clothes are perfectly contoured
to my body. my shoes & socks
fit just right. My cat is a delightful
intelligent animal. My apartment
is great. The right location,
cheap rent. I eat the best food.
My friends love me. I adore them.
My lover is terrific & beautiful.
The sun is shining. There are trees
even in the slums in Washington.
I have tons of money & a gorgeous
air conditioner. Great art hangs
on my wall. I live a spine-tingling life
of delirious sex & intense happiness.

I cannot stop listening to this song:

"Slipping Away"

Wait just a little bit more

I feel you cause your breath is burning holes in my door

You love it when there's blood on your tongue and you're ready for war

But wait just a little bit more

Take what you came here for

I know you and I know you can't take anymore

You got me with your fingers on my throat and my head on the floor

You're taking what you came here for

So this is how I'm slipping away

Yea this is how you want me to play

You know I love it but it's stopping today

I'm slipping away

Oh I think that I should go

My house is burning out of control I know you hate it and you want me to stay I'm slipping away

Wait just a little bit more I'm watching as your lips are moving towards that horn

You're ready but I'm not quite dead and I'm not quite yours

So wait just a little bit more

Take what you came here for I'm ready for you flames crawling up my door

And if you give me just a minute I'll be out on the floor

You're taking what you came here for

So this is how I'm slipping away

Yea this is how you want me to play

You know I love it but it's stopping today I'm slipping away

Oh I think that I should go

My house is burning out of control I know you hate it and you want me to stay I'm slipping away

Wait just a little bit more

You hold me like I've never been held before

Your spider web is wrapping around my head like a big black hole

So wait just a little bit more

Take what you came here for I trusted and I promised to believe, I swore

That you would be the first and the last but I did not know

You take me but you'll take no more

So this is how I'm slipping away

Now this is how you want me to play

You know I love it but it's stopping today I'm slipping away

Oh I think that I should go

My house is burning out of control I know you hate it and you want me to stay I'm slipping away

And now I'm going to drag myself out on Pajama Day for a Med Deli run.
