Trouble came around here
Here in the south we fix something to eat
Steam risin up off the greenery
And we welcome the strangers we meet
Tonight I attended a soiree at Yanni's in honor of my expreceptor. Apparently she did amazing things for one of the VA clinics in an interim capacity and they wanted to celebrate her achievements with chicken souvlaki, spanikopita, and dolmas. It was fine...very cool doctors, nurse practitioners, and nurses. But in the middle of dinner the conversation turned to, of all things, her Southern Baptist church. And it went something like:
Expreceptor: Everyone is welcome to come to my church and visit.
One cool (hot) doctor: Well, is it kid friendly? I'd like to bring my kids.
XP: Of course it's kid friendly! It's "everyone" friendly.
OCHD: Well, is your church tolerant of all types of lifestyles?
XP: No. We are accepting of all types of religions and races, but definitely not all types of lifestyles.
OCHD (very diplomatically): Well, I'm not interested in my children becoming intolerant. I've worked too hard to teach them tolerance.
Me (pretending to be clueless, to XP): What do you do if you're gay?
XP: You don't come. It's a sin, God dammit.
Me: You just took God's name in vain. That's a sin, too.
XP (with a big, loud cackly laugh): God dammit then, I'm goin to hell!
Fuck that bullshit. Pick...either be "perfect" as you say everyone else should be and earn the right to cast stones or keep your mouth shut, live and let live, and leave the stones where they are.
I gotta get the hell out of New Mexico. I think my new long-term plan is to head to the Greek Island of Lesbos (where I imagine the souvlaki is incredible). Or perhaps until then, I'll just start following the Indigo Girls tour.

was Linda Evans there?
she mighta been one of our servers, come to think of it. but i believe she and yanni broke up.
surprisingly, i talked to more people with obnoxious religious views in calif. than i have here. though if i were to seek them out, i'd find them easily enough.
so are you over new mexico? moving on after graduation?
yeah. can you get my room ready?
nahhh...the kids love it here, so they can finish school. and then, who knows.
thats bullshit. i would have hocked a big spitwad into her stupid homophobic FACE. Maybe not as diplomatic as the hot doctor but i had a bad day so....
but the question is...would it have tasted like battery acid, that spitwad?
you should see that doc. damn.
sorry about your bad day. xoxo
omg. I don't think that is the source of the tangy-ness. try...somewhere else.
