What Made You Laugh Today ?

[Felix]

This kind of thing happens all the time, but my cat is getting really nervous when I try to practice making sounds my language doesn't have. I can't tell if he thinks I'm growling or something or if he thinks I'm about to sneeze (most claw-related mishaps in my house occur after sneezing too close to the cat) or if he can actually tell that I'm not vocalizing the same way I do when I'm talking normally.

Also my kid keeps announcing to total strangers that we have a cat, and often goes on to describe the cat and then ask the other person if they, too, own a cat. She's probably been doing this for the entire time we've had a cat but I occasionally notice and it's hard not to laugh. There was a fluff piece on the radio over the weekend where they interviewed a lady who writes mystery novels and asked her to give a lists of do's and don't's for people who wish to survive a mystery novel, and ever since then my daughter has been concerned that someone is going to break into our house and kidnap the cat, "because he's so pretty they might think he's a purebred." He's an old brown and white tabby mix from the pound, but I love that she thinks he's that special.

Oh my gosh, that is too cute!
How old is she?

Some random guy was walking down our road this morning with an England flag draped across his back like a cape... and a 1960s-era Batman costume held aloft in his right hand like a trophy. As you do.

So true.

OK, it was yesterday, but...

My doctor who is ripping my nads out on Tuesday asked me if I wanted him to get rid of a mole on my nose while he had me under.  I asked him if it looked malignant to him, and he said "maybe".  I shrugged, pointed to it, and said, "Really, this little thing?" 

He said, "No, I didn't notice that one.  I was referring to that big one below it." 

"Umm, that's a diamond." 
I guess I needed to clean my nose stud.

Ew! I'm glad it made you laugh though.

A bit of background, I have been going to the same family doctor (GP) for 25 years, he has helped through depression, illness everything. Four years ago (about? time flies) I came out to him as trans*, I was his first and still only trans*patient. He helped me get a referral and has been keenly interested in my progress, he has been wonderful.

I went to see him today for a 6 month regular BP etc check up, I walked into his office and his first words were:
"Nice rack"  "Oh I hope I didn't offend you!" and blushed, we had a good laugh and no I was not in the least offended.

Felt great in fact!!

My favourite not-very-heteronormative colleague just sent me a one-word email after I sorted something out for him:

"Splendid"

What a word - that tickled me.

Unfortunately there are two entire counties in Ohio that I probably can't set foot in now without being run out of town by angry mobs of people with quetionable genetics wielding torches and pitchforks.  I still hold on to a glimmer of hope that someone will eventually decide that the 1950s are probably actually over by now.

Some dork on Youtube said that I was crazy when I called him out on his transphobia. My response was: "The voices in my head would beg to differ with you."

Reading that someone was told by his "mates" that shouting "Oi wanker" was a traditional East London greeting.His black eye should be clearing up by now

That awkward moment when I'm composing a text to my boss, and my phone decides to auto-correct 'you're right' to 'you're tight'.

Thank goodness I caught that one before I sent it!

Thinknig about the other day when I tried to let my nephew learn some Russian.  He said he wanted to learn Spanish, but I said I wanted to learn Russian.  He told me "if you want to learn russian, then go to New York, because there are a lot of Russians there."  I told him "well, if you want to learn spanish, then go down to Mexico then."  We were also playing a basketball video game and I chose a team of short girls (the ladies from 3LW actually) and one of the girls dunked on him and my nephew goes "oh my gosh a girl dunked on me? I am so embarrassed."

I love him.
