Dancing With the Stars, watch out!

[meesasometimes]

Wendy and I had our first wedding ballroom dance class last night.

We learned some basic foxtrot, east coast swing, and waltz. It was kind
of daunting being the terrible dancing lesbians that you knew everyone was
looking at. There were some older men there with their wives that did nothing
but smirk at us the whole time. I almost never have something like that get
to me, but I guess I was just SO out of my box. Once we started dancing
it was full concentration and alot of laughing, it was kind of fun...I mean
we've NEVER danced together. 

Turns out that our wedding song we chose is just perfect tempo for an
American waltz, so waltzing it is. Next week we'll be broken down into 
groups depending on what dance we are doing so there will just be a couple
of us. Let the choreography begin!  

A.A. Bondy "Of the Sea".....there is someone to thank on lj for this song, I'm just not sure who!

I almost NEVER feel that way, I guess because we've always been a family and not a couple and we're parents first before anything else. We're kind of in a bubble that way, but this was MOST DEFINITELY a couple's thing and you could just feel the eyes. We did look at each other and say, "why did we not make our friends come do this with us?"

whatevs.

No worries if you don't want to answer this, but did you never feel like that before you guys were together? Like, it feels that way super often for me. Last year me and friends got kicked out of a pool for being too gay (like, hair etc, not even holding hands or something), for instance, which was an extreme case but it always sort of feels like that sort of thing could happen?

Ahahah, omg. That makes your line look all sparkly rather than unfortunate!

yay...got,it! We've been together for 18yrs, like since we were in college and 22, so I feel like we were both really sheltered in that way, even in college when I was out I had such a large circle of friends. God, I'm the worst lesbian ever when it comes to this stuff. I really hardly ever think about it, I just never had that feeling like I was different, and my sexuality is pretty fluid, I dated boys in HS, I just never felt an emotional connection with them. I saved all my boy love for Dean Winchester, lol...I have plenty of gay friends to remind me of all the injustices in the world, trust me...and I feel REALLY REALLY privileged and lucky to have just had really open friends and accepting families. And Maine is funny in that it's a young progressive left meets the older generation that really just wants to stay out of your business.

I wish that everyone had the same experience that I've had. I'm sorry that that's not the case for you. When I was younger I used to get A TON of grief for having my nose pierced tho, back in 1989 it was a pretty big deal LOL...yeah, not the same.

Sorry, I didn't mean to go all woe-is-me all over your journal, haha. And I'm glad you rarely think about that sort of thing, that means you're like, stable and shit.

I can't imagine the reaction to your nose piercing in the 80s, I had a weird enough reaction to a lip piercing in the 2000s, so.

that means you're like, stable and shit......is that the same thing as delusional? THAT....I most definitely am. LOL.

I don't mind discussing stuff like this, I mean I just live my life and hope that that's enough. AND GO US!!! we're piercing trendsetters:)
