My French Mother-in-Law stopped me during today's chat to correct my pronunciation for the word "quand" (when).
MIL: "Erika, it is pronounced KOHN not KOHN."
Me: KOHN.
MIL: KOHN.
ME: KOHN.
MIL: KOHN. See? KOHN, not KOHN
Me: They sound identical!
MIL: The word *you* are saying (con) means "CUNT"!

I'm a sucker for those birthday essays that summarize what the author has learned over the course of their life, but in general they wind up being kind of greeting card platitude-y. So here is mine, with what I've learned through maladaptive coping skills over 41 yrs.

You are one of my favorite delightful weirdo creatures and you look amazing with purple hair. Some of my most treasured Portland memories are of Matt and I stopping to visit you and/or bring coffee while you were working away in that garage studio on Hawthorne.

Over the weekend, I found a tiny pink plastic shoe on the ground near my office.
I placed it at eye level, on a wooden post, by the stairs.
This morning, on that same post, was this picture.

Wow. This nine page comic by Kevin Conroy (voice of Batman) and J. Bone really hit me in the gut. It's about Kevin's dysfunctional family, his early acting career, his closeted homosexuality in the 70s-80s, and coming to his audition for Batman in the early 90s. Full: www.tumblr.com/why-i-love-c...

Don't worry, a janitor or fire fighter or a balloon delivery person in a bear costume is going to innocuously amble into your room any minute now and then tear away his costume to announce he's GENE PERMESAN.

Learning to orgasm was no simple task for Bingo! But with determination, time, experimentation, and honkin' big ol' powerful vibrator, she found her way to it on her own. Now if only her anxiety would let her body go there with her partner... #FBF
