Ms. Iphigeneia! Good Sunrise to you --- hehehe. I've been nervous all night about meeting my new girlfriend's parents. Plus my roomate being sick right now has me a little on edge.
To helpful anonymous repper: Thank you for the tips on how to handle face to face meeting with the parents. I have been racking my brain trying to think what to say. Your idea is terrific! I feel way more confident now! Thanks!
(The nasty comment will be given to the Mods to handle.)
So much is new to me right now. The feelings about my new girlfriend and how great she is about including me in her life, her friends, her interests. I am changing so much I feel like a butterfly!
Never before was I at people's houses and listening to music like Chopin or hear people say poetry, or even hear songs with harmony like special voices! I mean it is just Fantastic! Oh I wish I could write a poem to her!
And it blows my mind that her folks will be there today when I will say a poem! Then have conversation! I been excited and scared and nervous as a cat in a rainstorm!
Mr. Kylsm, electricity is spotty with Irene. I was to fly out today but all plans were cancelled. A lucky young man? Looks like I'll be with you for a few more days.
~ popping fingers... changing hairstyles... dancing with siblings ~
Ms. Iphigeneia flying out? --- ooohhh. A sad thought that I'll push to the corner of my mind. Hanging out with you was a bright spot and turning me on to love music has been ubercool! Ooops wait, pracice time.
I've enjoyed your company Ms. Iphigeneia and uh (get out my book of written stuff) and I look forward to a future sharing of enjoyment. Pshew give me six months.
During my time on, I've been talking to a Mother who was cluing me on how to prepare myself.
All I been doing is worryworting about this meeting with my new girlfriend's parents. I never had to plan to visit with someone's parents before--- I am total newbie at this!
A helpful person repped me and told me to ask questions that I could get the parents to talking and then listen and show off I am a good listener. Thanks again helpful repper!
So I have made a list and tried to get each kinda different so they seem natural like.
My list so far:
Where else have you lived besides round here?
Where is your favorite place you ever lived?
Do you play any musical instruments?
Who is your favorite composer... or do you like more than one?
What hobby do you spend time with these days?
Do you have a favorite vacation spot?
Where would you like to visit you have never been?
Do you have any pets, besides the cat your daughter told me about?
Did you come from a large family?
Just now I was thinking they are thinking about what they will ask me... YIKES!
What will I say about me? That I grew up a semi-hoodlum, not violent but mad about how people lie and try to act like the world is okay when we all can literally see it is not okay at all! I am mad about how people treat the planet--- and each other too!
Glad they didn't meet me when was in baggy pants, long long tee shirt, unlaced sneakers and baseball hat popped to the side. I got to laugh now at how ludicris I musta looked---even to myself! And I was not really thinking about things like these days I think about like love and music that makes feelings fly way out and my lovely new girlfriend.
I am thinking more soft about folks trying hard to change the world. Shall I tell her folks I want to be a changer of the world? Maybe that would be cool---gawd wish I knew if that would seem good to them.
Suppose they ask me my intentions regarding their daughter---I am likely to start stuttering and tell way more than is good.
Yeah I am a little freaked out sharing a brunch with parents. I'm waiting for my roommate's granny to wake up so she can role play this --- grill me so I don't look like a complete idiot today.
Hey my three line public speaking reputation started bumpy and then my new girlfriend smiled--- gawd I got ten feet tall!
And suddenly I was great! I mean it came rushing out ---poetry with a passion! It sounds goofy but the only face I saw was her. Everyone else was kinda shadowy black and white ---well, gray. But later they clapped! I'm still grinning about the applause!
I was nervous about that but it came out okay. I am hoping so hard that this meeting goes well and I can stay tight with my new girlfriend even when her parents met me.
and all my instincts, they return
and the grand facade, so soon will burn
without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside
in your eyes
the light the heat
in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes.
