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?

	kept walking until i got here. i hadn't thought it out much beyond that. i was running away, so there was little planning involved. how do you think your life would be different without your child? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's hard to imagine. I'd be a lot more lonely. My life sort of revolves around her. Why did you run away? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	my father threatened to throw me out, so i did it for him. does the fact that the people in our heads had sex make you uncomfortable? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Are you asking if it made me uncomfortable that they had sex, or if it made me uncomfortable that they're gay? The answer to both is neither. When was the last time you were in trouble with the law, and why? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	i'm asking if it made/makes you uncomfortable to interact with me after the fact. a man called the cops on me a few weeks ago, but nothing came of it. mostly he was upset that once he proved himself to be not worth my time, i sent him on his way. it happens. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	ah, but my question still stands. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Awkward, maybe. Not uncomfortable. The two are quite different. Do you vote? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Alexis K/Dallas S sonrisa 2012-08-31 05:18 am UTC (link)
	interesting. i do. are you soliciting my vote? were you married at one point, if you're not married now? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Wouldn't dream of it. This is the one forum in the world in which I'm not expected to campaign. Pretty refreshing. I used to be married, yes. What are your [...] personal relationships like, if you have sex with other people for money? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Alexis K/Dallas S sonrisa 2012-08-31 05:42 am UTC (link)
	hm, in what manner do you mean? do i have a partner/friends? or what are those actual relationships like in quality? some people i know try to keep things very separate & that works for them. i've never been too concerned about strongly keeping work from "pleasure." are you divorced?

	Re: Alexis K/Dallas S hislittlerose 2012-08-31 05:48 am UTC (link)
	I suppose that answers it well enough. I'm no longer married, yes. Did you ever think about attending college or university? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Alexis K/Dallas S sonrisa 2012-08-31 06:02 am UTC (link)
	not a straight answer, but i'll take it. not very much. i liked school well enough, but i prefer more self-directed education. have you ever paid for sex? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	NO Of cour No, never. Favourite type of takeout? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Alexis K/Dallas S sonrisa 2012-08-31 06:18 am UTC (link)
	indian. i don't know if this counts, but Renly would like me to inquire after Loras. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Alexis K/Dallas S hislittlerose 2012-08-31 06:19 am UTC (link)
	What about him? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Alexis K/Dallas S sonrisa 2012-08-31 06:33 am UTC (link)
	he says, to begin: how is he? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Alexis K/Dallas S hislittlerose 2012-09-01 03:21 am UTC (link)
	He's bored, for one thing. He finds my job incredibly boring, mostly because I can't simply cut down my opponents with a sword. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Alexis K/Dallas S sonrisa 2012-09-01 03:36 am UTC (link)
	i can understand how that would be frustrating. renly is thinking something along the lines of him being the brains & loras the brawn, but he doesn't want me to share that. (Reply to this) (Parent)
