Hee. matociquala, you'll be tickled to learn that your LJ has
been blocked by our SonicWALL internet filter due to "mature/adult
content". That's a relatively new change. I read you every day; I don't
always click through to the comments page, though. My friends page is
still unblocked.

That's the second LJ I've come across that was; the other was pfarley. Someone had linked to an entry on his LJ and I couldn't
view it from here.

I wonder why bisexual and polyamory--or my own LJ,
or the whole livejournal domain--aren't blocked. I theorize that it may
relate to whether a particular LJ is set to allow search indexing or
not. Of course, I at least haven't posted anything much in the way of
"mature content" recently.

Sunday morning, I went to pick up Rosa at her dad's house. She wanted to
wear a particular pair of shoes, but he didn't want to let her. I told
him it was okay if she wore them, it was only to the car, etc. He told
me not to contradict him in front of her.

Whatever, he does it to me all the time. In exactly the same situation,
even.

But what's interesting is Rosa's comments after we had left. She said,
"This seems familiar." I asked for clarification, and she started
talking about when Ray and I broke up. I told her she couldn't possibly
remember that, and she said, "My daddy told me. He said you [and he] had
a fight because you wanted to live with other people and he wanted to
only live with you."

I admit, I don't know whether that was his phrasing or hers. But that
statement manages to tell Rosa about something that's none of her
business, while oversimplifying it to the point that it ceases to be
true.

It's been bothering me for days. I can't see any appropriate way to
respond.
