So my dear friend Woodja was in town this weekend with his boyfriend Ed. Woodja's a great friend of mine from my days in Washington, DC. He now lives in Gainesville, Florida for his graduate schooling. He's someone I do truly try to emulate sometimes because he's so comfortable with himself and he doesn't shy away from being himself around whomever and whenever.

They stayed with me a couple of nights while here but they were mostly out and about doing touristy stuff during the day and gay leather bars/locales at night. They did spend some time with me during eating times and to see Dame Edna on Sunday, so it was wonderful to have an old friend around to hang with and enjoy time. They also seemed to genuinely want to hang with me and catch up. That was nice. I need that more than I realize. It's funny how different people from your life see you in different ways and remember things about you that you've forgotten or don't highlight about yourself anymore. It helps to bring about a fuller you to learn how others view you.

On a side note, my cat is psychotic. She loved them when they first arrived, but by the next day she was going between hissing and wanting their attention. She eventually attacked Ed, luckily not too badly, and I had to keep her in the kitchen every night. Any ideas out there on what to do about a cat who hates people?
