procrastination is the bane of my existence

I'm sitting here making an entry because I don't want to write. I only have an hour of quality time before subwayslasher gets home and I lose the computer, and instead of writing Ch 3 of The Wedding, I'm thinking about how it's become a running joke that everyone thinks I'm a lesbian.

People are great with the assumption-making, aren't they? Starting with the assumption that your sexual preferences are any business of theirs. Besides, plenty of women don't wear makeup on a daily basis and like video games. My best friend likes football and is currently restoring a '67 mustang, now that's a hard one for guys to swallow.

I really just think that is a question that any girl who's okay with herself gets asked eventually. If you get along with other girls and don't participate in some strange expectation to validate yourself through men, people start to wonder.

To make you feel better, allow me to cast a scene of my own experiences in this area. It's one of the more amusing of my experiences, if only because I was in the right mood to answer back. I'll summarize and edit it down to a PG-13/R rating:

Scene 1: A generic night club for a friend's twenty-first birthday.

Random Guy: Hello. You are attractive, scantily clad, have large breasts and appear to have no interest in my advances. Are you a lesbian?

If I didn't have two brothers who would blatantly point and laugh

You know, my own brother used to tell his friends that if he wasn't my brother, he'd say I was a lesbian. Of course, looking back at pictures from those days, I do seem a bit dyke-ish.

Stupid men. Think just because you're not into them you must be a lesbian. You should've thrown your drink in his face. :)

"I'm thinking about how it's become a running joke that everyone thinks I'm a lesbian."

heehee, i recently had someone think i was a lesbian. i won't say who because it'll probably lead to her threatening to kick my ass. she didn't like it when i started laughing at her... i dunno, i thought it was pretty funny just because of the WAY the miscommunication occurred. :D

We aren't speaking of our mutual friend, are we? ;)

What? Of course not. We are NOT speaking of our mutual friend with the hair-trigger temper and name that rhymes with lacey. What in the world would make you think that?

I didn't think we were talking about that person either. Ha, that is too funny!
