the monday boy

starfrostingMy one, vaguely-patriotic thought for today: I love fireworks. And what other country would be ostentatious and arrogant enough to fucking *blow pretty things up* for its own birthday? That's right, no one but the states. It's a fucked up sort of uninterrogated pride, but it's all I can come up with right now.
My grandparents and aunt and uncle and cousin and immediate family are outside right now for the party. My dad cooked a bunch of delicious Greek food-- spanikopita and tzatziki and souvlaki and salad-- for lunch, and I'm working on slowly getting blitzed on Bass. It's pretty delightful as far as a day off from work goes.
Sinem was great fun, wrestling and biting and grabbing each other's hair. I really do love almost-fagging-out with that boy, and I really would love actually fagging out with that boy.
Also my grandparents are ridiculously generous. It goes without saying, but they stayed up til 1 am so they could *let us in* to their apartment and put us up for the night. Is that not the sweetest thing. And then we wrestled on the floor and tried not to make noise. And then I exposed Sinem to that greatest of cultural artefacts, Barbar. The pop-up version. Ohh yeah.
Also, Nicole if yr reading this: Is Jonah a high-femme kinda genderqueer? Cos I met this femme named Jonah who had a tattoo that said "faygeleh" in Hebrew (!! *plotz* !!) who lived in West Philly and was super queer and super Jewish and I was confused if this is the same Jonah who leads menstrual health workshops. I kinda think not, cos isn't that Yonah? Who is not high femme? I don't know, but I figure I'd air out my general confusion.
Anyway I only hung out with this girl for like 10 minutes, but she sussed me out like whoa. Sinem and I were getting into his car, which was some fucken station wagon or something (I don't know how he got it or whose it was, but whatevs) and so naturally I started making cracks as to why the hell he has a minivan. "Are you some dad needing to drive around all yr buckets of kids?" etc. And Jonah said, "Yeah, he's the daddy and you're the little boy in the back seat. 'Daddy, Daddy, drive me around!'"
I mean, what the fuck?! How does this person who I don't even know suss out my kink that fast and with such accuracy??
It must be the faygeleh kinship.

Date: 2005-07-04 09:39 pm (UTC)I guess maybe I should edit my entry to say that national bombast combined with my naive 'amerika's the only one that does that!' reaction means that, well, my point remains...
the us doesn't need to know about the rest of the world. Not only did we invent democracy, we also invented firecrackers.
haha.
My sarcasm is in such poor taste.
How's the west coast treating you, love?

Date: 2005-07-05 04:17 am (UTC)I should.
But i can't cos the only way I'm personally made out of travelling money is by working, and I need to work in order to have it, and you can see my conundrum...
But yeah I mean at *some* point I should, just not this summer.
