Jun. 1st, 2003 06:36 pmThis weekend, we went out to Arizona.
Now I know where I will go when I die if I´ve been very bad. And I´ve missed church today. Ay!
Arizona is 110 degrees NOW. I was gleefully told by locals, ¨Just WAIT until August!¨ Well, no, not today, thanks. I´ll stay in San Diego where 80 degrees is a heat wave. It´s also fantabulously right-wing All American, Redneckia. Steve was asked in the grocery store if he had ¨got Jesus¨. We´re both Christians, but asked like that, the answer is a sarcastic, ¨No, what aisle is he in?¨ Our otherwise sane relative praised a sheriff notorious for human rights violations. This is the state where looking at kiddie porn will get you 200 years in jail, but actually MOLESTING a child won´t even be life.
negativsteve´s party was a bust, and it ended by midnight. We took off earlier, because the Arizona room (an enclosed porch) was full of real estate agents talking shop, the living room had a few people talking sports, and upstairs were the stoners. Normally stoners are fun to hang out with, but I didn´t want to come back to the house of Steve´s relatives smelling like backstage at a Sublime concert. I had one small drink and that was it.
So, I had a rotten time, right? No, actually. It was nice to see that Steve has at least ONE sane relation, and she and her family are sweet as all get-out. Charming (if rednecky) husband, three fantastically well-behaved and personable kids, and a poodle who manages to still be a bird dog. I jumped on a trampoline. It was fun to see negativsteve in his new digs.
Let me tell you, I never minded San Diego´s weather before, but now I LOOOOOOVE it. The options could be so much worse.
