Apparently Dar and I are not just part of but actual leaders of our very own Lesbian Conspiracy. ::throws labia shaped confettii:: Forget the cheap-ass toaster oven, we're after a fucking million dollar kitchen renovation!

Who's with us?!

ETA. Sorry to be so cryptic before; the meds were kicking in and coherence was trotting down the hall and out the door.

OK, so a friend of ours is in the middle of a messy separation that just got messier. One of the husband's friends for some reason has really taken a dislike to Dar (who he's met but he doesn't even have the brain cells to realize that) and has emailed her a few times to let her know that she's talking out of her ass whenever she chimes in with her opinion. The latest email was to say that she and I are engaged in a lesbian conspiracy to keep the couple apart. Bwah!

The last resort of the dickless wonders of the world. It's not that the husband is an abusive, manipulative asshole. Oh no. All of this can be laid at the feet of our insatiable lesbian desire to trick all straight women into the fold. And yes that's a pun :) Which Dickless Wonder #1 would totally not get.

God, it really brings back fond memories of my 20s, going out carousing with my girlfriends (who ran the gamut from 100% dyke to straight and happily married) and always always running into 1)"What are you girls doing out alone" which rapidly devolved into 2) "What are you, dykes?" when we told them to get lost. I say it's a fond memory because after 1 and 2 came 3 and that was us all shouting a joyful "Yes!" followed by a group make-out session that everyone jumped into. Then, of course, we'd be kicked out, but you know, there were plenty of other bars :)

My girlfriends were fucking awesome. Still are.

I'll edit for the explanation :) Hey, it's good to see you post. I was starting to worry.

Do I get a toaster? I want one of those four slicer deals.

Honey, for you we have the four slice toaster oven! Because we're just that good evil.

I figured that we could count on you :)

I'm editing the entry so I only have to explain it once, cuz I be a lazy lesbo.

I'm very curious now. Also? Have an imagination that runs WILD.

Is this the person that I think it is? And if he is, he doesn't remember meeting Dar?!? That's like some serious WTF.

And wait, hang on...*thinks*

OMG!! You're trying to recruit me!!!!

:P

Come now! Credit where it's due! You don't think he came up with that on his own, do you...man-hater?

The crazy, it burns us, precious!

You know, the Pamster may be on to something. The last missive contained the phrase "defiling the sanctity of marriage" and that certainly sounds spoon fed by someone else - like who talks like that?

Sounds like someone's pistol was loaded.

Heh...

Furthermore, on a more serious note, you've been nothing but kind to Frank, willing to calmly and compassionately respond to what really is just the ravings of a broken mind. I admire you for that, I truly do. You've certainly been willing to address it, and waded into hostile waters. I find the crazy is just too much for me.

Nobody can get him the help he so desperately needs. Nobody but Frank himself. Certainly not the useless kid (who is clearly projecting the issues of his own mentally ill mother and the damage her illness did to his own family) emailing you. Frank needs serious, dedicated professional help. Only when he's made serious progress addressing his own mental health issues -- the need to control Holly's every thought and action, the abject cruelty he's subjected her to time and again, the verbal abuse and manipulation that's been the hallmark of their relationship for quite literally years, his misogny, his own depression, and the heart-breaking damage inflicted on him by his mother and father, only then can he begin to heal and become a whole person able to freely love another. Maybe then they can begin to form a relationship based on mutual trust and love. Maybe then, for the first time in his life, Frank will know happiness.

I hope that for him. Because he deserves that as much as anyone on God's green earth. And I believe (like I know you do), that it's possible, with hard work, to transform a life.

And I hope that for Holly. Then her decisions won't be based on fear and abuse and anguish.

It's a terrible situation, no doubt about it.

I'm not sure she's talking about Frank-I'd like to *think* none of our friends would personally abuse Dar...

I also hope she isn’t talking about me. I don’t think so because:

1) I have never sent an email to Dar, and don’t even know her email address
2) I do remember meeting her last year quite well. I thought we had a very nice visit early in the morning when we both couldn’t sleep.
3) I was mad at Dar yesterday for something she posted in my LJ, but do not now nor have ever thought she was part of any conspiracy to bring my wife over to any side.
4) I have given a reading at a marriage of a same sex couple (granted 2 men) so I would think that the fact I have no issues with same sex marriages would be fairly clear. (I’ve attended others as well, but have only been honored with being asked to give a reading at one.)

So, although I do have some worries that she may mean me, it doesn’t seem to fit the facts.

I am sorry to see other friends of my saying how fucked up they think I am. Especially given that they haven’t actually discussed any of how I think and feel with me and are going on second hand data. But, what can you do?

So, if it’s about me, then someone is telling outright lies about me, what I've done and said.
If it isn’t about me, I’m sorry you all think Frank when you hear “abusive, manipulative asshole”.

I am certainly not talking about Frank. I never said anything like that.

However there are legions of people who love both of you and some of them can take things a little personally. No surprise there. Let's just move on shall we? If you have any direct questions, email me.

ANd also?

This is all going to end up making LJ wank if we are not careful.

No, really. I thought I was pretty clear that the email was not from Frank, but it was from one of your friends. In fact she's received several different emails from (I'm just guessing on this part) members of the troupe.

If someone has sent you or Dar an email about this it was without my knowledge or consent. And it sounds like it is not an accurate portrayal of how I feel about the situation. (Although as this is the first I’ve heard of it, I don’t know what it actually says.)

I apologize on behalf of anyone who has taken it into their head to send any email on my behalf. Despite what I’m told about myself being an “abusive, manipulative asshole” anyone who knows me should know that if I have a problem with something I say so. (Go read my posts in my LJ if you doubt it.) I do not have other people speak for me.

I’d love to email you to get the specifics of the emails in question. But, as I said above, I don’t have Dar’s email address. Mine is frank@hunt.org if you want to send me the details of who has seen fit to try and speak for me.

The world keeps turning, even as we sleep :) I think that means that we should be afraid to close our eyes, but I hope not. Heh.

"...into the fold" LOL!!!

It took me a second to get that, but when I did, I literally spit coffee all over my keyboard!

And speaking of evil work, how's it going? Is your boss due to come back soon so you can get your life back?

I'm. Wow. People's stupidity continues to astound me and it really shouldn't.

All of this can be laid at the feet of our insatiable lesbian desire to trick all straight women into the fold. And yes that's a pun :)

And it's a fabulous one, too. :D

RE you and the girlfriends - been there, done that. The other thing we've done is set up "partners" before going out so that if some guy is harassing us, we can say we're with one of the others, complete with hand holding, etc. :D Usually it works and the guy wanders off. Only once have I had a guy ask if I "share." (THEN wander off when I said no)

Ha! Actually hat tip to that guy, because that's not the usual response :) No, we had one incident where the guys got so pissed that they threw a pitcher of beer at us. But that was back in the early 70s before guys became "enlightened". ::snerk::

And the best part is, he didn't slow down long before he came up with that, either. We were amused. :D
