Oh, Lordy.
My oh my, it's been a crazy (insert any time amount here)!
Jill and I are mostly moved.
We are wrapping up our classes.
We are buying gifts
We got our rings
I finally got some wedding clothes ;-)
We fly in one week
We marry in less than 2
We have several parties to attend
We also have an important event happening in Warsaw this weekend:
The Equality ParadeWarsaw, Poland's major political parties,
Radio Marija and a unique version of the 'young Democrats society' are speaking quite loudly about their disapproval of gays, lesbians, bi and transexuals. High ranking politicians have said publicly that all gay men are pedophiles, are mentally deranged and should be gassed. Oh, but women aren't gay. Hmm. Poland is very homogenous in it's looks, style and political and ethical views. As a fairly new addition to the European Union, equality for all peoples within its borders is still a foreign concept.
The march is on at 1 P.M. this Saturday. The vehemently anti-gay All Polish Youth will also be marching, on a Warsaw city-approved route, which happens to be nearly the reverse of the Equality march, so a potentially violent rendezvous may occur in the middle.
For an English, soon to be firsthand account of how these events unfold, follow us along at our P3 site, which recently moved away from Google's Blogger to:
http://polishstyle.net/Nearly every contributing member will be attending the parade.
Cross your fingers and hold your thumbs.
See you all soon.
