Warning: Baby's head in microwave

Today is April fools day. I woke up today like usual and went downstairs to prepare some oatmeal. As I was about to open the microwave in a semi daze that I always am in the morning I found a baby's head in the microwave. hehe so funny or I thought it was. Abbie my roommate works with the Red Cross and borrowed it, it's great because it's made of soft material and sits upright so it's funnier, yes I meant childish I would not find such childish acts funny of course. I actually was not the one to discover it in the microwave, I wish I was. I went downstairs and it was sitting on the counter but I made sure to put it back in the microwave for the next set of roomies. But as I sat and ate my oatmeal I would open the microwave from time to time and just laugh. A good start to the day, and yes I did check for cellophane wrapping over the toilet seat before I sat down.

Alright what else is there to talk about so early on a Wednesday morning at Bean's well love of course. Well not actually love but the funny stories that come with it. So yesterday the drag king invited me to come along and hear a panel on LGBTQIA issues at UAA, University of Alaska Anchorage. haha they call it the alphabet now because it's getting so long so many letters. hehe I thought the "I" stood for indifferent and so that's what I told the Drag King because she didn't know either and then she said it out loud and it actually stood for interesex. haha how I like to lead people astray. Anyway that was not the funny part I wanted to talk about anyway. I feel like I always get in sticky situations here because the gay community is so small and I am so popular. Well only one of those is true, of course the popular part. Anyway I walk into the room a little late with the drag king, get a chair, take off my jacket, you know get myself situated. Well if you know me at all you know that I didn't take off my jacket because I never do. Anyway that was off topic but as I scan the room...yes you guess it I meet eyes with Sandi. Now I think I blogged about Sandi a little. The girl I met at the bar while the bamboozler was in Ecuador who walked me to the house I was house sitting at. Anyway we made plans to hang out the next Friday and I never showed up, no not because I was trying to be mean that actually comes quite naturally but because I was sick taking care of the devil dog at the bamboozlers house. Well so here I am at this panel sitting next to the drag king with the girl that I stood up four chairs away from me. Let's just say I counted down the minutes until the awkward interaction had to happen.

Paragraph break not because it's the right spot I know but I don't like writing really long paragraphs without breaks. So anyway the panel goes on for about 2 hours and then it breaks up. You know the type of break where you go and talk to people to clarify points or meet friends you haven't seen in awhile. Well poor me I don't know anyone so I can't pair up with anyone and I don't have any points to clarify on because I was too nervous to pay attention. Oh and the drag king has a line of people waiting to talk to her, kinda like the kissing booth. So yes Sandi walks over to me and I walk over to her and she puts me in a headlock and makes me say uncle. Haha no we sit and talk and it's not awkward at all. I explain what happened and the fact that I didn't have her phone number. I get her phone number, minutes go on, the conversation goes on and somehow I have a date with her on Saturday to go to some women studies event. I am the worst at saying no, well I would say I just like to flirt and keep my options open. Ahh no I can't say that on here because then people will think I'm mean. So scratch that I just didn't know how to say no. Anyway I left with the drag king who drove me home. This story will be continued as events unfold...
