#7 - Five Pet Peeves.

1) Lying.  I'm / our friendship / relationship is not worth the truth?

2) Partnership intolerance. We've never met. How would me, loving a woman (the way I love my husband), impact you?  It wouldn't.  I have never met someone who has said, 'I want a life of ridicule, one where I might lose my family, get beat up or die.'  You love who you love.  Bottom line. NOH8

3) People who do not use their turn signal.  

4) People who do not get involved.  "It's not my problem" Yes, it is. Someone needs your help.

5) Racial intolerance. It simply shows your ignorance when you can't get past skin colour.

#6 - Your views on mainstream music.

I have spent 30  minutes pondering the answer to this question. 

I always thought that music came in era's, these decade waves of style. But it seems that I have been jamming to the same bubblegum beat for 20 years.  I fear popularity has taken over where pure creativity once spoke.  The first thought that popped in to my brain was, "What do I think of mainstream music, I think it all sounds the same."

#5 - Things you want to say to an ex.

It took years to move beyond the betrayal.  I didn't think that the one you loved, your first love, could be the cruelest person of them all.  He should know that his callousness caused me to lose more than my father, I also lost a support system when a 15 year old needs one most.  At a time when all I could think of was Who will teach me to drive? Who will be there to cheer for me when I graduate?  Who will give me away at my wedding and what about the Daddy dance?  And how do I begin to tell people at school {Oh nothing, my dad died, what did you do this weekend}?  People were told a story of me, dancing and high-fiving my mom after returning from the hospital. Less the father I was speaking to just 90 minutes earlier.

All these years later, I still wonder why would my boyfriend tell such horrible lies?  It might be hard to imagine but many classmates believed that my mom and myself celebrated my fathers death.  As hard as it has been for me to forget those words, I know that fuckface doesn't even remember.

As angry as I would get, drumming all those feeling back up, I remember what is most important to me:  Knowing who I was then and who I have become - my Daddy would love the woman that I am.  Unconditionally.
