Well that should come as a relief to Yagon, it's good to know he doesn't have to do all that work.

I wasn't going to do it. I guess that's good then.

I will honestly do it on Thursday. This will be fun.

You shouldn't make commitments you are not going to honor. We will think less of you for it.

I can make such commitments.

Thinking less of me is hardly possible

Not to me it isn't.

Throw me the integral, I throw you the whip!

So got off the phone with the parents (two separate phone calls, of course) and kinda surprised.

My dad, I had no idea his political stance, but he said my mom called him at 6 this morning overworked about the situation and he told her that if I'm in a relationship she'll need to accept it whether she likes it or not.

My mom, after years of homophobic comments in general, and later directed at me (last year's "I don't support that lifestyle and won't accept it under my roof" standing out in particular), she surprised me with saying she loves me and accepts me as long as I'm 100% sure that this is who I am and that I own it, that I'm happy, and as long as whoever I'm with treats me right. Then she turned the phone call into a lecture about how I shouldn't push family away, though perhaps I wouldn't have been pushing her away if she weren't making homophobic comments every time I was around.

Congratulations, that is a happy ending. Ignore the petty stuff, if it doesn't get a reaction out of you eventually it will stop.

Still, those are plenty steps in the right direction. Glad to hear!

Thats good, that's very good. I can understand why she thought you were pushing away, but if she was inherently scared of your love choices, then her point isn't too valid. But, she came around, and that's what matters.

Moms are pros at pettiness, learn well at her feet young one, it comes from concern. Very happy ending.

This calls for feather boas.

I don't think my current crush would care.

My current crush isn't even into me so it's not like it matters.

Such is the nature of crushes. It's alright. At least they're not stalking. That's where they don't like you, not just aren't into you.

I'll probably get over it in a month or so and then we can have lovely movie nights without it feeling awkward. Not yet though.

I don't like to speak of the concept in depth, most rural of rural Ireland after all. What is a motorway. What is a functional water system. Why is everyone a second cousin.
