So I don't remember how far the short-lived-German-fling saga had gone, but I caught up with her Tuesday and again today, and it was lovely and we spent hours talking and holding hands and she got a tattoo and a got a smooch and some cuddles and all was well and good (tonight she flies home, so not so well and good, but such is life). HOWEVER, as we were walking down one street, holding hands, a bunch of semi-school-age little shits started yelling after us "LESBIANS!!!". First off, where's the ingenuity in that insult? They merely stated the obvious. Secondly, it made me HUGELY, HUGELY uncomfortable, and screwed up the last hour I had with her, because I was worried about what everyone else was thinking. It was so strange, because I've never really been one to worry like that about what others are thinking, and all of a sudden, I let some ignorant little ignorami get to me? A brief snide comment, and I'm not only all of a dither, but also filled with all sorts of insecurities that haven't plagued me in years! Help! Ahhh, internet venting...
Well, like you said...technically they were just pointing it out. When I see a cute dog, I yell "DOGGY!" Sigh...but then they probably didn't rush over and make kissy faces at you, did they? And what a shame that these little snotrags are already being indoctrinated to hate by their awful parents. But hey! Let's focus on the positive! So awesome that you hooked up with the German chick again! (Oh yes, I totally remember her.) Bummer that it has to be a temporary fling, but sometimes those are actually nice...you don't get enough time with her to learn all the weird, unattractive qualities that everyone has, so you can both just keep your brief time together as a little slice of perfect.
Children often say bad things to people. I guess that this is just reality. Nothing to get to hysterical about. I have been called, "tramp", "bonehead" and "Joker". Like an adult, I simply ignore them. Retaliation or bearing a grudge, is simply stuping to their level.
Well, lucky for me, I don't have this problem. One, cause I look like a male. And second,you ain't gonna catch me holdin hands with anybody! That why I'm getting a dog to hopefully attract some easily amused females. But don't give a damn about what people say. At least they wasn't throwing rocks at yer ass. If they did or if it ever happens, then we could have a chat about it over some donuts and hot chocolate, eh?
Hey Bocks, sorry to hear that, that sucks. But from what I can tell you're a strong, rockin' woman and I'm sure you'll rise above these little bastards' comments. And I'm glad you enjoyed your time with the German chick, even if it was brief. Another good reason to travel to Germany now!
Haha, yeah. They were around 12 or 13, so they weren't really little kids, but they certainly pissed me off. Boston: You're right. It was the perfect length. Actually, I could deal with it having been a little longer, but you can't win 'em all. Spinningtop: Thanks! I'll do all the rising above I can CJKid: It'd have to be cyber hot chocolate and doughnuts, because Missouri is tens of thousands of miles from where I live. But thanks for the offer. Everyone: thanks for the support. It means a lot. I could hardly go to my family, haha.
