Bridesmaid
We've known for quite a while that Heather will have a handful of friends present at the wedding in Toronto. I doubted that any of my friends would come, though, since it's such a long way to travel. But the best news of this week is that my friend Elizabeth, who lives in the UK, will be joining in the festivities.
Elizabeth and I have been friends since Year 10, and our friendship came about almost by default. All of our friends were in the school choir, which rehearsed at lunchtime. (I, too, was in the choir for a time, but dropped out after we had to sing "From a Distance", the Bette Midler song.) Apart from the cool people, who weren't in choir and also weren't our friends, almost everyone else seemed to be singing at lunch time. So Elizabeth and I struck up a friendship that has endured to this day. I am so pleased that she can join us. A bridesmaid for me!
Kidding. Sort of.

hi dear,
i just read all your info an stuff but i was wonderin though i shouldnt be but wha was the reason that u were deprived of men wa happened and dont you feel this same sex relation to be unnatural unrealistic virtually with no answer what you say.
Please im not intending to hurt you, if somehow its disturbing then just excuse me) cuz im just curious to know.
Dear 'dear' - I don't think you quite get the point. Looks to me like Michelle and Heather are in love. Does the fact that you have been deprived of lovers of the same sex make you straight? Doubtful. Does it make you incapable of spelling and grammar? Possibly.
IMHO, you love who you love, and you're attracted to who you're attracted to, and anything else is just lying to yourself. As a straight person, which from your comments I assume you are, are you attracted to every single member of the opposite sex you meet? Every single one? No. I self-identify as bi-esque and I'm not constantly salivating for every human being that walks by. There are people to whom you are not attracted, and there are people to whom you are attracted, and it's the same for gays and lesbians except most of the people they are not attracted to are the opposite sex, and most of the people they ARE attracted to are the same sex. End of story.
As far as "unnatural" is concerned, what's unnatural about same-sex pairings? They happen in penguins, swans, wolves, ducks, dolphins and have been documented in just about every animal species that forms extended pairings. So actually, confining pairing to opposite sexes only is less natural than the rest of nature.
Grr. Guess it was a good day for a rant. Michelle, Heva, can't wait to see you in the States!
