So Thanksgiving has come and gone, and you may be asking, “What do we have to be thankful for? Seriously.” The answer is quite simple.
HM
What is HM? Possibly the greatest phrase ever! So Carlos was down here over the T-Gives and was hangin’ out over at the Woo-Lee-Price homestead. I think I said something to Bobby of a domestic manner and he responded in a kind of annoyed, “get off my back” way. Carlos then made a comment to Bobby along the lines of, “Quit being married to Andrew.” For the record, we are not married. Anyway, Bobby took this in a weird sort of homophobic response.
So Carlos was relaying this story to Brad I think, and being the cool guy that he is, Carlos started to make up language as he went along. Instead of describing Bobby as homophobic, he tried shortening it. It would seem that HP would work best in this situation, but Carlos’ tongue did not agree. “Bobby is pretty HM.” Thus it was born.
Here’s the weird part. HM has come to mean someone is being homophobic, or it is used to call something gay, in that sort of middle school way. Thus, in many cases calling an HM is HM in and of itself. I think that is the greatest thing ever! A self fulfilling term. Happy T-Gives everyone!
In other actual important news, Anna and I will not be a couple at anytime in the foreseeable future. We will remain friends, and hopefully very good ones at that. There is too much care and trust there for me to walk away from just because things didn’t turn out exactly how I wanted. So prayers for a great friendship would be greatly appreciated. Actually, any prayer is always a good thing.
