Subject:Make the sun shine on a rainy day
Time:08:39 pm
[public to Est]

This was a hard weekend for those of us who've lost a good mother. It's fun to send flowers to my friends who are moms, but I spent most of the day itself curled up in my tent having quiet time. This week, I've been rebounding from memories with an ungodly amount of time spent on silly websites.

So! That's my question for you: what do you do when you need to make yourself smile a little? My formula involves webcomics, really fudgy brownies, and really over-the-top 80s music. What's your secret?

A big orange-and-pink tent.

What a coincidence! I happen to have one of those right here in my house! Perhaps you'd like to come have some happy time in it? :-)

I go for my people. Kerri, JJ, you, Jess. Just a phone call or a videochat makes the worst day right again.

And when I can I go to the beach. No problem is ever very big when I look at the ocean and take in its enormity, or think about grains of sand.

Speaking of my people, Kerri says thank you for the beautiful flowers. Your bouquet is bigger than the one I got her. TJJ "bought" her jade earrings though so the flower-eclipsing didn't become an issue. ;)

You know you can call me anytime, day or night. Kerri too.

And that's a good idea, about the beach. I went a lot right after my mom died. Granted, my head was more in the "drowning myself" direction than philosophy, but I think it helped a little.

Ha! Sorry my flowers were bigger than your flowers. I'll give you an apology blowjob later. Yay JJ, he has good taste.

No apologies necessary, but I'll never turn down the other half of that offer.

And you know our phones and our doors are open to you 24/7 too.

I am in no way surprised by that.

And I do know, and I love you for it. Best Big Queer Family ever. *hugs*

We are! We could practically all live in a big commune, except that famous people probably couldn't live in a commune without being noticed.

Yes! Omg, how have you not? We NEED to do dinner.

My secret is a big fluffy orange cat. It works pretty well.

I have one of those! Well, actually, he's a small sleek orange cat with gender identity issues. They should be friends.

That could actually work. My kitty is weird about people, but he loves other animals. He lived at John's for a while, and used to sleep in a happy animal pile with Ge dog. We could have a kitty playdate. :)

Puck is kind of a scaredy cat. He was abused when he was little, so he takes some time warming up to new people. But he's better with animals, too. He likes to sleep on Sophie sometimes (our dog) and Obi is his big brother protector type. Kitty playdate, definitely!

Awww, we should really do it. John and Kerri talk about you all the time, the kitties could play and I could get to know someone who's obviously five tons of awesomesauce.

Five tons? Wow, I have a reputation! Yes, let's do it. I'd love to meet you finally. Between John and Simon I've heard lots of good things.
