I’m Feeling All Weird Today
And I don’t know why exactly. I kept trying to write a blog this morning and kept deleting the page. Nothing was coming out the way I wanted it to. I couldn’t even leave a coherent comment on someone else’s blog.
I ended up leaving this after deleting so many times.
How about I just write part of a conversation I had on the phone with my Norwegian grandmother from yesterday.
Grandma: So I guess you aren’t going to have a vacation this summer?
BeehiveHairdresser: Nope, not really, but I at least got away to Montauk last weekend with my girlfriend.
GM: Oh, you have a girlfriend? I haven’t heard of this. Is this new?
BH: We’ve been going out for months, I guess it just didn’t come up in conversation.
GM: Is she black or white?
BH:White.
GM: Oh okay, well that doesn’t matter anyway. As long as they are a good person, yeah.
BH: Yes Grandma.

Do you think she’d care if she knew that I was white AND technically a shi’ite muslim and quite possibly a descendant of a terrorist or two?
Not really. She would be much more interested in knowing how to spell you name. Then repeating the process on how to say it. Then say you name repeatedly while slightly butchering it with her thick Norwegian accent.
Good Times.
