So, I attended the Republican National Convention this week. That was certainly ~~a shitshow~~ interesting. As a (rare, Democrat) guest of some old friends, I had the good fortune to be invited to this year's HomoCon, which is a party for gay Republicans put on by GOProud (I know, clever right? Even Republican gays are more creative than their hetero counterparts.) As a [...] straight, Democrat attendee I was obviously there as more of an ambassador, but it was great to see some familiar faces and I even got a disco ball keychain for my daughter. I also got to spend some time with my father during the RNC, and although he still hasn't quite forgiven me for turning out liberal, a box of cigars seemed to help him forget for a few days.

What are some other effective methods you use to help your parents forget about how they're supposed to be disappointed in you?

	aha. well enough. he doesn't bother me. i'm beginning to see that i'm in the minority, however. & you with loras? he's a man with a rather large personality from what i hear. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Alexis K/Dallas S hislittlerose 2012-08-30 03:50 am UTC (link)
	He's very [...] opinionated. About everything. Sometimes he can be a bit distracting. ~~Do you~~ Do you like what you do? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	i believe that 100%. i do like my job. though i could do without the people like our friend tristan. if you could do something other than politics, what would you do? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What the hell is wrong with her? I have absolutely no idea why she's so convinced that I'm gay. Anything else in the world? I would be a writer, I think. Same question, only - not politics. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Alexis K/Dallas S sonrisa 2012-08-30 04:01 am UTC (link)
	she's an angry person, it would seem. & some like to believe they know everything, when they haven't the faintest idea of what they're talking about. interesting choice. - oh, i don't know. i've never considered anything else, really. when i was in high school, i was interested in psychology.

	Re: Alexis K/Dallas S hislittlerose 2012-08-30 04:05 am UTC (link)
	I'm afraid I'm pretty boring. I like to read and play guitar, and hang out with my daughter. She's a big Chuck E Cheese fan right now so we're there pretty often. What's your favourite book? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Alexis K/Dallas S sonrisa 2012-08-30 04:07 am UTC (link)
	oh, that's a good question. i'm reading Franny and Zooey right now, so I'll say that. i'm also a fan of The Bell Jar. do you think you're boring or do you think i'll think you're boring? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Alexis K/Dallas S hislittlerose 2012-08-30 04:19 am UTC (link)
	Points for The Bell Jar ~~and that's your most intuitive question yet~~. I think you'll think I'm boring. As to why I care, I don't really know - except maybe that you stuck up for me with that crazy person down there. Close to any siblings? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Alexis K/Dallas S sonrisa 2012-08-30 04:25 am UTC (link)
	don't worry about me. for the record, i've formed no opinions about your boringness-to-interesting ratio, but i certainly am not leaning toward 'boring.' my twin sister coralie and i talk quite often. the others generally aren't interested in my life. do you like coffee? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Alexis K/Dallas S hislittlerose 2012-08-30 04:48 am UTC (link)
	I gave up coffee a few months ago, but now I'm hooked on tea. What about your hobbies? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Alexis K/Dallas S sonrisa 2012-08-30 04:52 am UTC (link)
	i like to read. why give up coffee? & are you determined to thwart me at every turn? (you can count that as two.) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Alexis K/Dallas S hislittlerose 2012-08-30 04:55 am UTC (link)
	That's two questions, and I don't know what you meant by the second one. I gave up coffee because it wasn't conducive to living stress-free. I still drink decaf, though? Do your family/friends know what you do? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Alexis K/Dallas S sonrisa 2012-08-30 05:01 am UTC (link)
	alright. they do. do you want to get tea downtown with me in the near future? i promise not to wear a low-cut dress. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Finally he gets it, although he's just left with more questions.] Sure. Ever been to Market Street Cafe? [...] Does that mean a more formal gown is in order? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Alexis K/Dallas S sonrisa 2012-08-30 05:07 am UTC (link)
	that counts as two questions, by the way. - & yes, on ogden. so long as the neckline is respectful, you may wear what you like. when works for you, dep? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Alexis K/Dallas S hislittlerose 2012-08-30 05:09 am UTC (link)
	Dep? This Sunday should work fine, as long as you're free. Do you usually ask near-complete strangers out for tea? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
