Liberal is not a bad word
I work with a lot of very conservative people and who think I drink blood on my lunch break....I just try to avoid politics when talking to them, actually I try to avoid them all together so I talk to the babies a lot at work. They never talk back...yet soon I will teach them how to talk then I will make a million dollars as the nurse who can talk to babies. They will call me the baby whisperer. OHH when I do my press junket I am going to wear a cape with the letters BW on the back. AHH my overactive imagination. Anywho i digress
Sit back blogger readers and let me tell you a story from my life.
As I said I work with a lot of conservative people in the NICU and I get along with most of them except one guy (I will change his name to protect him so you all dont go car bombing him out of loyalty too me and my blog.....oh just so you know in my head my blog is the most popular blog on the Internet. Both Madonna and Cortney Love read it as they drink their morning coffee).
OH there is this one guy named (ummm let me think of a name that means evil in Latin) George ....God what an ass. First off I don't know how you can be uncomfortable around gay men when you work as a nurse in a NICU. Let me just say that all the men I know who work in the NICU are gay.....except for George he claims to be straight. I myself don't believe him. When I first met him my gaydar went off, and I mean off. Maybe I am just slow but when he started talking about his wife I thought "ahhh that's cute they have traditional gender roles in there relationship." Then when he told me about his kids I still thought he was gay - I just thought him and his "wife" had adopted a few gaybies. It was not until he told me he wanted to kill gay people that I realized he was not only straight but dangerous. He said and I quote "Its easier to kill a queer than a heterosexual people with a cross hair and I for one cant wait for hunting season to start." EKKK guess me and Jonney Weir need to be on the look out.
I could care less if you don't like gay people....you don't have to. Luckily my identity and self esteem is not wrapped up in people like Georges option's; but at the same time don't threaten to hurt us...we are a peace loving people like the Smurffs.
So after listening to George wax lyrically about his political views on everything from the war to birth control I just thought I would share an insight with you all...liberal is not a bad word see.......
