A shout out of thanks to Kimbelle, Pixie and Gemme who have all helped me with packing this week. You gals rock!

And Pixie and Gemme get a special thank you for not taking a picture of me when I went boom today.:seeingstars:

My finger is now matching this font. I think I may have cracked something inside. I can't close it all the way. OOPS.

Other butches in other parts of the country are advocating for me to wrap myself in bubble wrap since I seem to have a strong propensity for falling down and going boom.

But, as you were there, you can vouch that I actually go more like HAHAHAHAHAHA when I fall down.

But only one; I kinda like having him around. :)

You should go see Dr. Sue.....she'd crack that chit right out of you! She's the diggity!

Arwen 12-27-2010 11:34 PM

I went to the Urgent Care people today.

X-ray says?

It's broke. And it needs to be re xayed in 7 days. At which point we may discuss a specialist. :|

I need help packing up the last of my apartment.

If anyone can help, please...I'll be there at 10 and have to stop the party by noon so I can go to work. Even if you pack one box and go, I will be grateful. Or put a box together so I can pack it. This finger thing is really messing me up.

I have a splint on my middle finger on my left hand. I waved to as many managers as I could today. :)

Anti-gay hate crime in Austin Christmas night
 
Hey y'all - I hope I am not double posting this but I thought it was info worth having. This happened at 4th and Lavaca.

Men claim attack after hug



AUSTIN – Two men say they were attacked after leaving a gay night club in downtown* Austin and their attackers were yelling anti-gay slurs.
Bobby Beltran and Christopher Ortega say they were attacked on the morning of Dec. 26 after they left Rain night club. As they were embracing, they heard a string of anti-gay slurs from a car full of men stopped at 4th Street and Lavaca.
“I just turned and I said, ‘That stuff's not welcome here in Austin. We don't accept that.’ and that really set them off,” Beltran said. “One guy came out of the car, started attacking him, then they put the car in park, jumped out and surrounded us.”
According to the pair, the slurs continued during the attack.
“It wasn't like a mob attack, like they were all just beating us, it was more like a choreographed dance. There was a guy on the right, a guy on the left,” Ortega said.
An official at the Austin Police Department confirms that a report was filed by Beltran and that the department is investigating. They say it is too early to say whether any arrests have been made.
"I always, whenever I travel, talk very highly of Austin and say it's so safe here, and it's safe and cozy and everybody gets along, and I am extremely shocked,” Ortega said.
Despite Austin’s reputation for acceptance, the case of Beltran and Ortega is not isolated.
Among medium sized cities, Austin leads the state in the number of hate crime motivated by sexual orientation, according to the FBI. During 2009, the FBI reported four such crimes in Austin, two in El Paso, and none in Fort Worth.
What the report can not explain is whether that means those cities are safer, or whether Austinites are just more willing to report crimes against them.
Beltran and Ortega believe police could have done more in the course of their investigation. However, they admit they were not able to provide a license plate or detailed descriptions of their attackers.

This is a report from a similar incident which happened earlier this year - the one that inspired the march against hate this year.

Gemme 01-01-2011 10:38 PM

Thank you, Pup and Oiler, for opening your home to a bunch of weirdos that enjoy your company immensely. Your hospitality and generosity are second to none and our new year could not have begun in a better way.

Now, if only I could get "Fly Like an Eagle" out of my head....:blink:

Glad the two of you were able to make the New Years party and we had all kinds of fun today with the two of you! We are grateful to have such good friends and were happy to see everyone last night, and to see our overnight guests this morning! Of course, we wish everyone the best in this new year and look forward to spending more time with you two and the rest of the Austinites this year!

oh yeah, I know what you mean. But I just like the thought about wearing shorts in the summer time vs nomex.

I will be living in the Beaumont area, a lot closer to Austin compared to where I live now..lol. I will be heading down on Tuesday.

ayup, looks like 2011 is starting out great! I hope the same for you to Glynn.

For everyone who wasn't at the party this weekend, I have some very exciting news. Well, I'm excited about it and I hope you will be, too!

I'm moving again. Here's the real news:

I am moving to Austin next month!!!!!!!!!!

I got a really great offer at a new rehab facility in South Austin that I just can't refuse. Plus, I didn't really wanna refuse since I'll be closer to all you loverlies!

I'll be staying at a friends house for the first month or so until I can get settled and find a place.

On another note, someone special will be joining me a month or so after I get there. She'll need some lovin from you guys since she's never really been around the butch-femme community.

I am so excited!!!

I was wondering if I could ask for some help? I have reserved the Penske (hopefully no fires this time) for January 29th. I'll need help on the San Antonio and Austin ends of the trek loading/unloading/organizing/etc. Also, does anyone have a reccomendation for a storage unit? I need to store my large furniture for about a month to a month and a half. I am really needing help since this is so last minute and unconventional. I am nervous as hell but am SURE I am making the right choice.

Okay, enough shop talk! I LOVE Y'ALL!! Watch out Austin!!!!!!

This was my last weekend off, so I *might* be able to help you on the Austin end, depending on the timing. I'd like to, though. Just let us know when you know a bit more.

As to storage, ask Gemme. :)

With his permission, I announce...
 
For those who don't know, my beloved, Organic, is in the process of making some big life changes and, as part of those changes, prefers to be called Ebon from this point forth. It's pronounced with a soft E, so it's like Ebony, without the y.

Yes, I'm his Ivory. :blink:
