Stranger things....

Went down with my parents to the Wines for dinner tonight, which is always lovely, because I miss them when I don't get to see them. Also, I hadn't seen Nina in positively years, because she's always been in Santa Cruz when I'm at her parents', for whatever reason. But she was there tonight, as was... her girlfriend.... Nina's gay. Yeah. The friend my age that I've known for the very very longest... is also gay. This is just too strange, and so of course we spent the evening giggling about this odd coincidence. 'Cause she'd not known about me either.

Stranger, though, since my gaydar for girls is so very non-existent, I'd been wondering for a long time about her, with absolutely no reason behind this. I play out scenes in my head, sometimes, of future events, or events that would never happen (I can get myself quite worked up sometimes, if I imagine something bad), and every time I pictured my next conversation with her, it came out that she was gay. So, strangeness. But amusing.

Grr

I want to see RotK so that I can read everyone's posts about it! Of course, by the time I see it, I'll have forgotten who's posted. So once I do see it, I shall post an entry saying so, and I'll expect everyone who's already posted about it to comment with a link to their discussion. :P (Or you can comment on this post, if you feel so moved.)

I have to wait at least until I'm back in LA to see it, which is a few more days; and then I might actually have to wait until I'm in Austin, after Christmas, because my parents are going to want reasons to escape the house. My uncle doesn't like doing anything except working and playing with his computer, and my aunt mostly just stays at home. So my parents get hideously bored, my mother especially, because it's her sister and mother that we're visiting; so while my dad can borrow my cousin's bike and go out for rides, my mother has to make nice. Personally, I love seeing my aunt and cousins, and even my uncle, but I obviously have a different dynamic with them than my mom does.

Now I'm going to go over to Heaven so that I can give everyone their Christmas presents. Yay.
