RENWL

So yesterday afternoon we’re digging around in the kitchen trying to decide what to make for din din when the phone rings. Okay, so we answer it and there’s this woman on the other end. She’s an acquaintance we’ve met through our LGBT equality and cause related activities (there’s the first red flag).

And so we’re like hey there, what’s up, you know. Well, this lady proceeds to tell us that she thinks we’re depressed and very angry and obviously isolated from normal interaction with others because of some of our recent blog posts. So of course we’re like, ‘umm—sweetheart what the hell are you talking about?’

She then goes on to say that because we’re not working (no full time gig/however we do freelance writing for pay—not that our income sources or employment scenario is any of her business or anyone elses) she “informs” us that we’ve got too much time on our hands and then gives us info on volunteer work that she’s decided we should do. She also shares her opinions about our posts here and how they’re wrong—most particular our writings concerning the whole Karen Bass craziness with the Long Beach City Council anti-gay marriage guy.  She then starts in again about what she thinks we should be doing with our supposed “oodles of free time.”

This is not the first occasion this woman has came at us about our daily schedule. She once called and “told” us she wanted us to make some phone calls on her behalf as a volunteer for this art show she’s working on because “we weren’t doing anything.”  In that instance, we kindly told her everything but to drop dead. Needless to say we didn’t receive any volunteer assignment from her to make phone calls. But for some reason she’s remained obsessed with it—-our day to day doings as once again we discovered in this most recent conversation. At any rate we got her off the phone as quickly as we could. After we regained our composure we sent her a polite yet curt email requesting that she never dial our number again. If she does we’ve decided, we’re straight up callin’ the cops.

We’re still left wondering what chopped up with Ex Lax street drug was this chick on when she decided to pick up the phone and inform us that our perspective, critiques and thoughts on the doings of a black politician and concerns about the local black LGBT community were to be hushed and dismissed as the by-product of someone who obviously was deeply unhappy  and desperately needed her direction to guide us to do other things with our time based on what she deemed to be productive.

Miss Thing, if you don’t like what we have to say on our blog—–then don’t read the bitch. It’s really simple. So simple in fact it doesn’t even involve us knowing about it.

But don’t call us with your messy mess trying to bring us down—attempt to make us feel bad about ourselves, who we are and what we stand for—and telling us essentially we don’t have a right to an opinion—-all because it doesn’t agree with you and yours.

That’s what the friggin comment section is for. Now on to part two.
