Yelled at my mom for being a fucktard. Does that count as interesting?

Did you yell at her unjustly, or was she being a true fucktard? Chimed in from the peanut gallery, where he sips at his wine still.

Amusing yes, but, it is only interesting if she had it coming.

She's still not coming to the wedding. Apparently I'm making a mockery of traditional marriage or some such. shrugs

She thinks it's okay for her to stand up for her beliefs even it means not supporting her daughter.

So, you are not being married for land, animals, or political reasons?

Shrugs slightly and then slips over to give her a quick hug and a kiss on the cheek. Yeah, well, fuck traditional marriage. I'm sure it's been just swell for her. Smiles sweetly and gives her a gentle pat on the bottom before sliding back over to his seat.

Nope. I'm without a dowry too!

 

[Secondcitysaint]

How horrible, such a thing should be illegal! (oh and congrats!)

 

[Noon_Shadow]

Chuckles. She does have HUUUUUGE tracts of land. Huge.

Its all about her...err..whats the word? Oh yeah, idiom

 

[Scuttle Buttin']

Traditional marriage is as much a misnomer as the way people use the word "family" now. These people need to read their Bible a little more closely before someone that knows what's actually in it shoves it down their throat.

Thanksies. winks

Huge tracts of land?
Oh Noon, you're a bad boy.

Ironically these family virtues come from people who eat shrimp, wear two different cloths and shave their side burns.

They don't stone their children to death for disrespecting them, they work on the Sabbath, they wear jewelry, they let women speak in church, they touch women while they're on their period...

Cafeteria Christianity. Take a little of this, a little of that, don't take the things you don't like. It's all very convenient for them.

It's also proof that we don't get our morality from religion.

Snickers at the "shove down their throat" part.

He growls at her playfully, eyes twinkling. I'm a bad man, actually. But this is nothing new. Laughs softly.

But good sir, if we do not get our morality from religion that means the evil evil satan worshiping atheists do have morals and we should actually respect their rights and do such unspeakable acts like taking "in god we trust" off our money and stop having governors such as the illustrious Rick Perry hold mass prayer( wish is ironically against Jesus's word) for rain and fund scientific processes for seeding clouds to make them rain.

That is just wrong!

 

[IvoryTigress]

Slips quietly into the lounge...

 

[IvoryTigress]

A gaze shifts....a soft smile and a nod to a beauty...

 

[IvoryTigress]

Hello, Padawan
giggles

A smirk touches her lips.

How are you, sugar?

 

[IvoryTigress]

Sweaty
Hungry
You know the drill.

You, babygirl?

Indeed. I should doing a work out....but I'm playing WoW instead. *Iz guilty..*

 

[Lustful_Intentions]

I'm new-ish around these parts, but I like this thread:

How are you? Freshly showered, but exhausted
What are you up to? Contemplating my response to an SRP, tapping out some thoughts.
What are you thinking? When should I look into dinner.
What are you doing? Trying to capture my thoughts before they escape.

While your mother has a right to her feelings and beliefs, while she has made it apparent she does not like how you are conducting your life, she should still be supporting her daughter with unconditional love. She should come, put on a cheery face and be happy for you, regardless of how she personally feels.

*gives Vi a quick kiss on her cheek*

Needless to say, enjoy your special day and don't let your mother cast a single small shadow upon it.

 

[unmitigated]

She probably thinks it will all end in tears. After all, marriage is tough enough in the long term without a third person in the equation. But just because she isn't going to come around in time for your wedding, doesn't mean she'll never accept your choices. Give her more time to get used to the idea and to see your triad working. You're only planning to get married once and it will be a shame if she's not there but if she can't put her own reservations aside for your big day, it's probably for the best if she stays away.

Anyone about this fine morning?

Like I said before...sometimes things just go too far out of the paradigm we use. Being gay or bi is commonplace and known (well, for the most part...even if it isn't accepted) . Even gay marriage. Poly marriage, much like gender non-conformity, is still outside the usual realm of experience. And, just like anything involving gender and sexuality, it can feel like identity is being undermined.

I don't think she's all stuck on traditional marriage. I think she's just confused, and in conflict with herself, and is grasping on to something that appears to make sense (this bizarre concept of 'traditional marriage').

I also suspect that she'll either end up going, or will end up regretting it.

Y'all are fucking fabulous.
Period.
