I think I offended someone horribly today.
Whilst eating lunch with Le Boyfriend, I saw friend Stepha. Friend Stepha informed me that the potluck dinner (yes, we do potluck, and no, we’re not boring and middle-aged… I think) that we have been planning with friend Paula may be postponed, due to the latter’s commitment to cook with friends from the campus Catholic network.
Naturally, I rolled my eyes and said something like, “God damn it. Stupid Catholic meeting.” Not because I hate Catholics, mind you (well, I don’t like the Pope, but that’s another issue altogether). It’s just that Paula’s Catholic friends seem to reside in a whole different area of her life, and it’s natural for the rest of us to get weirdly possessive of her when she’s with them (because she is that awesome, yes, it’s true). Of course, that little thing called context was missing from the conversation we were having.
Shortly thereafter, I noticed that the girl at the table next to us was eyeing me with white-hot hate. I also noticed the Catholic-style (I could be wrong on that one) cross hanging around her neck. Oh dear. She had spent most of her time listening in on our conversation, which was a little weird, but I didn’t mind it. I guess at that point, she’d heard more than she could handle.
What can I say? I guess there’s one more person out there who thinks I’m an evil bigot. They better get in line, honestly.

On the plus side, if she’s the gossipy type, you just gave here at least a half hour worth of material. And when she’s bitching about you to a friend, someone else will be listening in on them. That person will hear something out of context and get pissed off too, continueing the vicious cycle.
I say we blame everything on Paula. That usually works, no?
Yeah, but she does get us so much in net profit…
But I live in New York. I don’t NEED gas money anymoore.
I think that Paula is awesome and that Catholics in general are a bunch of bigoted assholes who see one of the biggest mass-murderers in history (the pope, that is) as near to a deity as a human can be.
I’m sure that makes me a hypocritical schizophrenic dickhead.
Having a bad day today….
