This dream was harder to discern from reality. There was a wedding (I watched Lethal Weapon 4 [archive.org link] last night which is probably what brought that on. The wedding/dinner was at someone’s house, and Tig, K, and my wee leetle cousin from Ottawa were all there (that I remember). The food was the strange part I think. It kept appearing from nowhere in the form of snack foods. I kept on wondering when the main course was coming, and kept on snacking on things (they even had sushi!). My uncle (or someone) gave me an expensive gold watch he got from the RCMP when he was in it (the thin, flat kind). This again I think was caused by some movie I watched recently with someone giving watches away. I kept on wanting to talk to K about something, but when I wanted to she was never around. Tig left sometime in the middle of the wedding without telling me, leaving me to wander around aimlessly for a while wondering where he was before K told me.
“Disappointing” was the title last week too, but I forgot to put anything relevant. I was at a LAN party last week and we watched a movie. Someone mentioned that the actor in it (for the life of me I can’t remember the movie or the character, but he was an older guy) was gay. One of the people next to me said “how disappointing.” Never one to miss an argument about something I of course asked “how so?” They replied that it was disappointing that he was gay because he seemed like he would be the kind of person who’d have a family and grandkids and such. My response of “so?” really meant “who the hell says he can’t, just because he’s gay you religious homophob”, but in a much softer way. I guess I just can’t stand it when people are like that. Granted, I never miss the opportunity to miss a fight as well 🙂
I think one thing I will automatically “fight” about is when someone has a strong opinion of something. I think it was taught young or something that there are always two sides to a story. If some says that “xxx is the only xxx for xxx”, I’ll say “but what about yyy?” I’m a huge Linux fan and use it for everything (except some games), but if someone were to try to convince me that it is perfect for everything, well, I’d say no, what about desktop publishing, what about people who need program x, y, and z. If someone tries to tell me that doing all your HTML by hand is the only way, well, that’s true most of the time, but when I wanted to make a quick page that I don’t care about (ie: the realtor home pages I was doing a few years back) I’d use frontpage because quite honestly, while it sucked ass, it was still quicker to set up a few nested tables in and throw some shitty page togeather than doing it by hand. When I want to do a page I care about (ie: my own) I do it by hand with zero questions asked.
Is this some huge character flaw? Probably. Do I care? Not really. I just found it “disappointing” that someone were to write of someone else because of their sexual preference, for religious reasons or not. Maybe they didn’t mean what I thought they meant, maybe they did. But it was still disappointing.
