Well, I just found out some disturbing news. (Well, aside from the fact that more than half our country seems to be voting for Mr. Strategery.). It seems the Elk’s club is only for men. Now, my grandparents were very active members, and as a kid, I had great times going to events with them. I had my heart set on being an Elk, but my mom said only men can join and then they bring their wives along. So basically, they’re not discriminating against women in general, but mainly women that never marry. Apparently, the Elk’s have lots of secrets, probably even a handshake. I think it’d just be a cool club, and I bet they have good big bands on weekends. Well, I just had this amusing conversation with my mom where I made up my new favorite word.

Me: Well, I’m basically a guy.
Mom: oh, that’s a great thing to say.
Me: Well, I am mentally
Mom: But physically, you’re obviously not
Me: Well if it weren’t for these damn hips, I could pull it off. Yeah, I’d walk in and they’d be like “you’re a well-hipped fella”

I thought well-hipped was a great word. I just realized a different interpretation as I typed, too. Maybe I’m too easily amused. I had fun with my dog today. We played tag, and whenever, I’d lay on the floor, she’d come up and run her nose under my neck. It tickled and I kept giggling. I found it hilarious. I’m finally getting her to play with chew bones, too. It’s so funny. I make her get defensive over it and then, I try to kick it out from under her. She was being so funny today. I had fun.

ugh well I’m trying to amuse myself to keep from going postal about the numbers I’m seeing from the polls. I still have hope, but it’s dwindling. The fact that this anti-gay marriage thing may pass scares me to death about the fate of the Presidency. I bet it can all be tracked to Christian fundamentalists, though. They’re worried about same sex marriage and abortion as reasons for a conservative President. Yeah, we’ll see what they’re worrying about when people start bombing us in the coming years. I don’t think that day is far off if that man is re-elected.
