My friend was up from Florida this week, but neither of us had the time to get together on our own. She is blissfully ignorant of politics, and had no idea of how the governor of her state is hurting transgender youth. Once I mentioned things as they are in the real world, she was a little upset. But then, most people prefer to tune politics out of their lives, as they don't see the value of knowing what's going on behind closed doors leading to smoke filled rooms. I'm not out to knock this friend, as she has a warm and loving heart. What I am out to say is that she made it to game night, and I had the first chance to see her in several years.
Tonight's game lasted way too long, and I tuned out long before the game was over. There were way too many things to keep track of in this game, and my mind wasn't up to it - especially with two strong minded fellows "arguing" about the rules of the game. I was only going through the motions, so that I'd have a pleasant evening - which I did.
After game night was over, I chatted outside with my friend and caught up on things. She knows I'm trans, and it doesn't bother her. If I weren't attached, I could see the two of us traveling together. But, I am, and want to keep it that way. All too soon, we had to part. She had to drive back to Connecticut, where she was staying until the weekend, and I had to drive back to my apartment. On the way home, I caught up with RQS on our nightly phone call. It'll be nice to see her again, and I hope that nothing gets in the way of doing so....
