I swear, I can't remember the last time I updated this thing. I was doing so well with writing every day and then I lost my job and ended up doing something crazy like getting a life where I don't have to be at my computer all day. I guess it helps that I've had things to do around here and I can be up with Kev and his crazy schedule. When Kev's not here, I've been writing, but I've been doing that in notebooks like I did as a kid. It's easier for me somehow and doesn't feel like work the way sitting at a computer does.

Anyway, the reason I had to write after all this time is because I've been propositioned.

Remember my mother's lesbians? Yeah, me neither. I mean, they were sweet and everything when I met them, but I kind of forgot about them once I got back to Seattle. Anyway, guess who they told my mom they'd like to be a sperm donor? I almost dropped the phone. And I haven't even thought about discussing it with Kevin yet.

Part of me thinks, "Aw, I can do so much to help them, and it'll be a real gift."

Part of me thinks, "Cool, I'll be a dad, and I won't have any of the responsibility that goes with it."

Part of me thinks, "Damn, I'll be a dad, and I might be expected to actually care."

I guess those last two are basically the same thought. Nothing's been discussed at this point. Mom said she was "floating the idea." I think I need to talk to the lesbians myself and see if it was really their idea or if Mom's just trying to pump a grandchild out of me by any means necessary.

Kids is a pretty big thing you know.

*Whispers* Oh looks like a party is in, for my birthday possibly down under.

Be careful with that whole father thing, cause it could bite you in the ass later on in life.

You may feel cool with being a dad, but do you really know them well enough to decide you'd want them as the mothers?

*raised eyebrow* Interesting idea to have been 'floated' to you by your Mom...

If you were to do this, what role do you see yourself having in this kid's life? I might be old fashioned, but either your a Dad who's involved and an active participant, or your a sperm donor with no ties or real connection. Are these women really looking for a Dad or just someone they know to supply the sperm?
