continuing the saga of chita

[dragonlady7]

Sometimes, when she is whiny and complaining and making noise all over the house, she says "Moo" instead of "Meow".

Z will walk around the house exclaiming, in a high-pitched voice, "Moo! Moo!"

Sports practices have begun at the school across the street, meaning there are often people parked in front of our house. (And in our driveway, which is annoying as all get-out. Who parks in a stranger's driveway? Yesterday Z walked out our front door and took a photograph of someone who had parked across our driveway. They were sitting in the car reading the newspaper. They had initially parked in front of the fire hydrant next door, but when they saw it, they pulled forward to sit across my driveway. What is that shit? If the fire company needs the hydrant, you will hear the sirens. If I need my driveway, I am going to have to go out there and ask you to move, and I have had people, not understanding that I had a legitimate right to this driveway, refuse to move. Fuck you! Park in front of the hydrant and sit there! Do not park in front of my driveway and sit there! That is so fucking rude! So Z took a photo and they saw him and drove away, probably all paranoid or something. But no, dude. We're not calling the cops. We're just blogging about how fucking rude you are. Edit: Z's blog is currently Very NSFW if you scroll down AT ALL. I forgot. Sorry!)

Anyway, it just means that we now have way more of an audience for our hijinks than usual. One of these days I will remember that walking around one's house in the nude with the front door standing wide open for ventilation is probably a poor idea. One of these days, one of those kids is going to look up from being a jackass in the street or throwing trash on my lawn, and is going to notice that there is a large naked woman standing in the front room paying no attention to him.
But it's been three years-- four now?-- and nobody has so far, so I just keep forgetting.

Oh shit! Sorry! I forgot that Z had blogged about that stupid picture!
He's awful about warning.

Your entry gives me hopes that I am not the only person walking around totally flashing the world and forgetting that it might be, well, Not Done.

I'm really terrible about it.

A few weeks back there was a brief chance that we might have had a roommate for a little while (well, we do have a spare room), and I thought this was great and it would've been fine, except, I realized, I would have to wear clothes a whole lot more.
And that, I realized, would be really hard.

Though I have dim memories of spending a lot of time in my house in college wearing just a sheet, all wrapped up like a toga. I guess this not-wearing-clothes-at-home-thing kind of predates not having housemates, so I could probably adjust.


I dunno, I don't know what the big deal is about nudity. Even at Pennsic, when this four-hundred-pound dude would walk by wearing only shorts, I was like, "Whatever, people. It's just a big fat naked guy. I don't see the big deal." And at several parties, there would be completely naked people, of varying states of thinness/fatness, and I just never really understood what the deal was.
It's just skin. And, you know, things. Whatever!

But I still don't sunbathe topless. I should. One of these days I will. My neighbors hate me enough already, I might as well just go for it.

"The school across the street from you" is really good about addressing any problems caused by its students (though I don't know if that applies to its parent-body). The students used to drive by my school heckling our kids when they were outside for practice. One of my coworkers wrote down a few license plates and went to see the principal. The kids were called to the mat about it and never came back. It was awesome. I'm sure he/she will be more than happy to remind the parents/students that the school is in a residential neighborhood and to be courteous. That would drive me nuts!

Yeah, people are funny about teh no0d. I had a boyfriend get furiously angry at me once because I was walking around the house in my underpants and he felt the curtains over the windows weren't opaque enough and that they weren't covering the windows enough and that the neighbors might somehow be able to see me through the cracks. I was honestly really surprised about it, since I'd grown up in a fairly nude-friendly environment. But since then I've learned people can be absolutely bats about it.

Now I'm much too self-conscious to stroll about any place naked, but my less-clothing option when I'm by myself is to just take one of my long skirts and put it on like a dress so my boobs are holding it up. Covers, and you hardly notice it's there.

I used to run around the house (and by around the house, I mean the yard, the neighborhood, whatever-- it was a dead-end dirt road five miles from anything) naked as a kid. My parents would be naked too, though-- not if anyone was around, and not as a matter of general course, but just sometimes, like at night or whatever. It was just something people did-- not often, but it wasn't particularly exceptional.

>long skirts

Everyone at Pennsic was doing this. Well, busty women at least. (Very skinny women seemed more inclined to wrap a sarong or something around them.) I felt like an idiot for never having thought of it, but it was a perfect way to stumble to the port-a-potties in the morning, and was entirely inoffensive-looking for sitting around the common area getting your wits about you before deciding on what to wear for the day.

I've taken to wearing that wrap-around apron I made like that sometimes, since I still haven't hemmed it and it's ankle-length. I tie it around my chest and it's comfy and modest. As a side bonus, having it tied tight-ish means that while my boobs are unsupported, they also tend not to really flop around, since they're sort of constrained by it. Comfy!!
