To my friend's new girlfriend
We've met up a couple times, you're cute and sometimes you seem interesting or have the common sense not to talk when we are having an interesting conversation. For this you get big points. However some shit has got to stop.
First, stop trying to be annoyed by everything. It got old fast. When I called my friend's drink (a blue Hawaiian) a "girly" drink, this was not code for you to launch into a lecture about the ills of society. I am going to call things girly once in a while, get used to it.
Same goes for when I refer to the tranny in my building as a he. I was telling a story, not asking for a lecture on why I should refer to Jason as a she.
I'm not homophobic, I wouldn't last long in my neighborhood if I was. I don't need to "be more accepting" of alternative lifestyles. I live knee deep in it, you live in an American suburb.
I don't mind the vegetarian thing. I've been accommodating in fact. When we were at a restaurant which didn't have vegetarian dishes, I got up and asked the kitchen to make a specific dish for you. I don't need to here how disgusting meat is or how you are going to "throw up".
Stop asking me what I do for a living. I know I see you only once every couple weeks but try and remember this time. I don't ask you, I remembered when you told me you were taking "woman's studies".
Apparently I'm going to being seeing you more often in the next couple months. I have no big issue, except stop getting offended for the sake of getting offended.
PS - Jim, I know you know who this is. Don't say anything because I don't want him getting mad at me.
