Friday Blues

[myladylyssa]

It's a beautiful, sunny Friday, I have off from work, but I am not feeling so well. I took my partner S. and her sister L. to the airport this morning--they are going to North Carolina for the weekend for one of L.'s best friend's wedding. I opted to stay home to save airfare because I do not know this person well and also because she started

It's such a shame when people are treated differently simply because they are being honest about themselves. I've never understood it. Did your partner's personality suddenly change? Of course not - unless she became more relaxed because she was able to be honest. Prejudice is such a sad thing.

Hi, Cass! Thanks for commenting.

Prejudice is such a sad thing
It is. And as L. was really close with her friend's parents, too, it is very hurtful to know what they think about what is most important to her. And L's story is so wonderful--hooking up with her best friend of 15 or so years. *is a sucker for best friends who fall in love*

Thanks, Nivina!

I'm a very loyal person, but I'm afraid that if someone started treating me as a sinner, that would be the end of the friendship (and it's even worse if they say they're praying for you).

You can watch the first two movies while you wait. I've had my copy since Tuesday and I haven't watched it yet as I had other priorities and now I'm tired. It's not going anywhere. :)

Yes, L. was debating whether or not even to go to the wedding. I wouldn't have. And there is nothing worse than being told you are being prayed for in that way. *gags* Luckily, I have never experienced this kind of treatment from anyone I've known personally. One father figure once told me it was "just a phase," and for that and generally being a hypocrite and a creep, I told him to get lost.

It's not going anywhere.

True, true! But adult!Me had a hard time telling child!Me that. LOL. )I've been in a weird mood lately anyway, evidenced by the fact that I squeed like teenage!Me tonight when one of my favorite singers, Sarah Brightman, was the $2000 answer on Jeopardy.) I am feeling more reasonable about it now, especially with my flist's support!

I play the violin - badly - but I love sawing away! And it is a pleasure best experienced alone ; ) For harmony's sake!

I am glad you do not have to go. I hope your partner is fine with that. I don't have my EE yet either nor the time to watch it - all my frantic activity is before the holidays once they are here I just have to show up places so I am looking at some tempting free time!

Prejudice is everywhere - screw 'em. Life's too short, y'know?

I took three years of Suzuki starting at age 23. I got OK, but then I had to stop lessons because I no longer had time when I started grad school and I didn't think my teacher was a good match. Now with the first year of owning house, I don't have the money for lessons. So I tell myself I should practice scales and such and relearn to play the songs I once learned and improve on that.

Yes, S. is fine with my not going. She went to accompany her sister and because she gets antsy if she doesn't travel every so often. =) I feel quite fortunate that no one has treated me the way L.'s friend has treated her.

As for the EE, it is good to know that I am not the only one. It also helps to know that it is not and cannot be what we would like it to be, anyway.

I don't have the EE edition yet either! Am getting it for Christmas-but then we're going out all day so it'll be sitting there all alone waiting for me : (

And on the another subject you talk about-I find prejudice so sad. I think it enriches your own life if you try to accept and understand other people. That to me is true spirituality.

[myladylyssa]

I think the EE is waiting for me under the tree. S. better have gotten me that.

I love your icon! I had a friend who would call me a water nymph, so when I had the opportunity I jumped in a lily pond and had my picture taken. :)
