Saturday was beautiful here in Brooklyn. My walk through Brooklyn to get to work was also beautiful, but it also made me laugh at myself like a crazed hyena. why you ask?
1. I left my apartment after looking up buses to go up to Smith College for graduation.
2. Where I would not only get to see some great people, and my favorite lil sister Caroline graduate, but also witness Rachel Maddow speak.
3. Ani Difranco came up on shuffle. 3 times. in a row.
4. I was wearing shiny new shoes, that no matter how cute and shiny they are, are still birkenstocks.
5. I was walking to Lesbian Herstory Archives in Park Slope.
and then: Attractive Brooklyn Male walks past and I think,
“Damn you Attractive-Man(tm) sauntering along to (inevitably) play with your Adorable-Baby(tm) and Painfully-Cool-and-Attractive-Girlfriend/Wife/Partner. Damn you.”
I looked at my feet, hummed my ani, thought of Rachel Maddow, trotted off to herstory and said to myself,
“Yep, Still Straight”
