Open season

I have friends, a couple, who have a bunch of us over every Tuesday night. The group and the activity vary some week to week, but the invitation is always open.

Tonight I had a fantastic night with a fantastic group of queers, in which we discussed topics including but not limited to:

• Radical mental health
• The Perks of Being a Wallflower
• The new jobs people need, and how to get them
• Fake blood from fake car accidents
• Games 
• Bela Lugosi
• "Bela Lugosi's Dead"
• The length of five minutes
• Our mothers' dreams, and whether they should get funding
• Whether passion is necessary
• The marshmallow test
• Theme songs and mood lighting
• The wisdom of getting on the floor with someone who's fallen
• Cloud sex

Day 13 of my month of gratitude: I am so grateful for homes and the people who open them to me, for the people who fill them with laughter and play and deep thoughts.
