I found your blog from your husband’s blog. I’m in his writer’s group. I LOVE this Smilebox. Great job!

Hi Holly!
After talking to you so many months ago I vainly tried to send you and email – I think I wrote what you told me down wrong, and then couldn’t find this area in your blog. Regardless, here I am. Wasting taxpayer’s money at work, listening to Roxy Music and trying not to order gadgets that my hedonistic alter ego is finding on Buy.com.
I Googled myself for grins today and found that our old head of the Crime Lab has written another book which mentions me and one of my homicide cases, so I went ahead and ordered it. What a curious finding… If you have time, drop me a line and let’s catch up a bit…

Ha! Maybe you’re on to something here. The uber-competitive parents I see on the swim deck could be using Krispy Kremes to mask the effects of the HGH they’re giving their kids. A little extra chub to cover the super-powered muscle underneath. Fat floats, so it wouldn’t slow the kids’ times. Hmmmm…

If we’re giong to give them something nasty, we should just shoot them up with HGH and be done with it.

Comment on That’s so gay by hollyhuck

That might just add to the existing confusion. This expression is fraught with enough subliminal meaning as it is, which is I think why my family would use it even when they knew I was gay. I could tell that they hadn’t thought about the expression and its meaning (or its hurtful effect on me). They had picked it up as hip slang and used it indiscriminately. But perhaps by using this expression in front of me, they were unconsciously expressing their confusion about my sexuality at the time, because now they never use the expression anymore. Maybe that’s because their tension about my sexuality has disappeared now that I’m married with children.

Maybe a more effective strategy would be to start using this phrase in a positive way. If you cook a really tasty meal, I could say, “Wow, this meal is so gay!” Or if I suggest we go out for ice cream after diner, you could say, “That’s a gay idea!”

I agree. There is something very basic and satisfying about a good story well told.
