Aww, there should be a good amount of tourists not planning to go to the theater that will be in Times Square and unable to get anywhere so that should keep the shows open. I know how much you were all looking forward to attending the last performance and I'd be really upset if you guys didn't get to go enjoy it.

Nothing wrong with obsessing!

I really can not stop thinking about it. I don't know what to do.

See it again?

Those are always the best kinds of movies, the ones that stay with you.

I will, whenever it's released at home.

My mother told me that if I like it so much people might start to think *I* am gay.

Because I don't like men. AT ALL.

Ugh. People just don't understand.

I told my mom that I think the idea of two guys together is hot and she looked and me funny all night.

My mom thinks if I ever find a straight guy I like, it'll be a miracle akin to David and Goliath.

I only make her worry when I mention fence hopping and how gorgeous Sara Ramirez is

Billy Warlock's on TV again!

I like straight guys. Then I realize that they aren't worth the trouble and happily return to being the fag-hag that I've become.

I don't tell my mom I think two guys together are particularly hot, but just that I don't mind them. She'd probably never look at me the same way again if I told her that. She wants to see Brokeback, I bet you she feels nothing because they're just silly boys and they have no business being in love anyway. *kick stuff*

Exactly! They really aren't worth the trouble. None I've met, at least.

Haha. It was in the context of our conversation. I didn't just blurt that out. She knows how I feel, though. She was there when my family and I got in a huge fight over Thanksgiving.

I just don't enjoy closed-minded people.

My mother had the nerve the other day to tell me "I'm very liberal, you know!"

It's like "yeah, mom. And not too long ago you told me that you think it's 'weird' and 'unnatural,' and oh, wait, 'gross.'" Why she wants to see this film is beyond me. I don't have enough faith in her to think maybe she's changing.

Meanwhile, I still have a brother who uses "gay" to describe things he doesn't like, but he stops himself when he's around me. My friend from high school came to visit me the other day, and he must've said "ugh, that's so gay" like four times. I was so hurt. I don't know why *I* was offended, but I wanted to yell at him.

[greatdct]

Posted: 12/20/05 at 1:35pm

Because you care so much. It's become a personal issue for you in that way.

At least you aren't letting them change how you feel. It's sad that they don't understand, though. I wish more people would take the time to learn and understand.

I was talking to my best friend about that last night, on a few different levels. She had just seen Rent with two other friends of ours -- one of whom refused to find a way to relate to it because she isn't poor and doesn't have AIDS (she's kinda dumb and shallow) and the other who wanted so badly to impress that she made herself look dumb trying to pose as one who thought deeply and highly of it. We had a long talk about how hard it is for people not to be able to understand, and how we wish we could just sort of inject something into their brains to explain it to them.

I assume I'll go see Brokeback with my mom, but she'll tell me I'm a loser for being upset by it, I'm sure. She's a cynic, even if she can get over the gay part. And she'll probably have the nerve to try to hide my eyes when they have sex.

*is pre-emptively mad*

I wish there was something like that. Some people need to be injected. Some people need to open their eyes.

Haha, oh boy! Well, I hope she finds something touching about the movie.

I don't think I'll take my mom. She doesn't 'get it'. She wants to get it for my sake, but she just doesn't.

I'm in the mood to watch TNH now, but I already packed it. :/ I think I need to make some hot cocoa and snuggle up with my book and picture. :)

Posted: 12/20/05 at 1:46pm

My mom doesn't find something touching about ANYTHING. She said Les Mis was too sad for her. After Rent she was like "psh, stop crying," and said they were just whiny brats who should go get jobs. She'll probably be like "oh, they're just horny freakish cowboys." It's beyond me how you can't be affected by that story, but there are doubtlessly people who aren't. And it's not even typical love; they're certainly not often very loving with each other. She won't tap into that.

Hmph. Well, if you enjoy it and are moved by it then that's all that matters.

I can't wait to see it.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 12/20/05 at 1:51pm

She's the sort who will try to diminish that. She hasn't stopped giving me sh*t about Rent in three weeks.

"Why do you want to see it again? It wasn't that good."
"I liked it. So did dad."
"No, he just told you that."
"....."
"They should shut up and just get jobs. I mean, what's with Roger? He's so bratty."
"He just got out of rehab. Leave him alone."
"He can't get a job because he's sad?"

boo. I need to go study!

It says "three women who compete for his affections." Does that mean Bobby isn't bisexual?

Someone had better tie the wrists.

[greatdct]

Posted: 12/20/05 at 1:56pm

He's too pretty. It's just not fair. And he should always wear green.

I'm off to pack some more.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 12/20/05 at 1:57pm

Happy packing!

[greatdct]

Posted: 12/20/05 at 1:57pm

Haha. Oh boy! The wrists.

I can't wait.

Posted: 12/20/05 at 1:58pm

heheh. This is going to be muy interesante.

But I guess that means he's straight and just non-committal. hm.

Okay, gotta say I'm actually intrigued by Raul's eyes there (never did it for me physically...)

I gotta see Brokeback Mountain too. My aunt went on about it how ridiculous it was which pissed me off. And my uncle is the friggin biggest Bush supporter in the country, he drives me crazy some times. Figure there daughter is a lesbian. My aunt came to terms w/ it, asked her if nothing else, please find a Jewish women who's a doctor. Gotta love Jewish mothers

My immediate family is all socially accepting, though my mom thinks there should be civil unions not marriages and I argue w/ her about that and she would accept if I was gay but I don't think she'd exactly celebrate...I too find myself always defending them. One of my best friends always called stuff gay or would go like don't be a lesbian or something and I constantly calmy explained to her that it's inappropriate and she def doesn't say it anymore. And she loved the Rent movie!

My mom certainly knows what a fag hag I am. But she's prob the opposite of your mother Em-her and my sisters cry at EVERYTHING! Like couple lives happily ever after at the end of a movie and my whole family's bawling. I don't get it. I mean I certainly get touched and cry during shows and movies but not to that extent. We should combine our mothers, I wish mine didn't cry at everything we saw...
