Did I leave anyone out?
Cap: Stands for pretty much everything I think is wrong in the world. It isn't about ideology or not getting along with people who are different. My best friends are Jewish, I married a Roman Catholic, My best net buddies are Gnostic, Evangelical and Essene Christian. In high school I dated primarily Alex P. Keaton types.
Around here, the SAHMs are all evangelical. It isn't that I won't associate with them, but that they are cliquish. They look to see what you are wearing around your neck before they talk to you. I wear a Celtic Knot. When Hubby is home, I go to my book club meetings and craft classes at night. I don't have the money for a babysitter.
(speaking of book club, are we still going to do that Meme?)
Spall: Pretty much ditto
Indy: Discussed in letter to Meme. As for what Hubby has done in far away places, don't hold your breath. One of the reasons I fell in love with him is he doesn't kiss and tell (told ya we were opposites). When all his friends in college wanted to know how it went with "that Hopkins chick" he wouldn't tell. He doesn't tell locker room stories, even on the ship.
Meghan: Said over at PIMB that I cannot decide if she is growing on me or not and she said the same. Have to see where that one goes.
Sassy: Not sure where all the anger comes from there. Not enough data to make any sort of assessment. Just going to ignore it though.
He that shall remain nameless: You picked the wrong chica to mess with. I believe that I said all that I needed to in that last e-mail. You are nothing more to me now than a humorous story that I told Hubby.
No one "just" doesn't like someone and has this strong a reaction. Typically it is a case of projection and/or territorialism (is that a word). When I find myself projecting, I like to use that opportunity to learn about myself. I learned that I have no rights to my ideas or even my self once I put them out there. I shouldn't blow up at people just because they mischaracterize me. I have to accept my lack of control over what others perception of my and my ideas are. I can do that, really I can. At least I'll try real hard. You'll have to pardon me if I stumble sometimes. Thanks for any part you played (even by being catty) in helping me see this.
So if my territory shrinks to just my own head, does that make me an omega female?

PS: I won't be on-line until after Easter. If you want to reach me, Indy and 8th have my e-mail addresses.
