Edwynn -> Just Had The Most Wonderful Time (6/7/2011 1:20:23 AM)

I don't know how to explain it.
I heard these young very strong male voices, just as sitting in my room, doing research. They kept getting louder.
Don't ask me why or how, but something 'came to me' that said "these guys need a larger space."
They were in the street, across the way, I had already met their mom before when she graciously jumped off my dead battery with her jeep.
I strolled down the driveway slowly, and they kept trying to calm their dog, whom they did not realize that I had already met before on at least 2 prior ocassions, so we were already familiar.
Teenage boys they were, and they had so much to get out, and were talking all over each other. I don't know why I even ventured to delve into any of that, but there I found myself. I only said a couple of words and next thing I knew I was into deep dicussion with them, on 20 things at once. But mostly them talking, as I'd want it. One of them (the younger brother) had 'issues' with guys dressing up as ladies. I should tell you that I got it all straightened out with the guys that some are born as they are born, mostly hetero, but ocassionally homo, and they responded so quickly, 'yeah dude!' They understood that. But even still, this younger one had trouble with the cross dressing thing."Why are they trying to dress up as women when they are guys?"
As I said earlier, I felt that there was some need for 'more space' here, so I just let him go on for a bit. Let him get it out, fatigue himself and move on. I then told him about my coworker Bill up in Charlotte that was the best cross dresser guy I had ever seen, actually knew what fitted him the best, didn't try to look like a woman to the n'th degree, etc. Slim guy he was, so that might have helped.
Once they found out that Bill was, by my estimation, one of the best lighting guys around, (both as light light designer, and even almost as good a light board operator as I was) then that's all they wanted to talk about.
Those kids are so easily distracted.
What I find myself most encouraged by is that at least some of the young folk today still need touch, and take that as a 'given' to progress regarding how people get to know each other. I've sat here and bitched about the video games, etc., but these guys hugged me, shook hands at least three times each, jumped and almost giggled when I slapped their backs, etc.
I could not believe this.
Yes, I definitely need to get out more.
