BIOGRAPHY:
Bonnie became convinced while she was still young that she was born in the wrong family. She could remember picking at her dinner over the table while her mom chuckled through a story of her, kicking and screaming through tears as she tried to force her into a ballgown. In the end, she got the dress on, but little Bonnie wouldn’t go on that stage in heels. She had to have her sneakers on, her makeup also needed doing at least 3 times, but for all that crying, she never won a thing! Thank goodness her little sister came along to take up the mantle. They got a full trophy case, and Bonnie got to rest.
She was just the smart, sensible type, her father said. She was a good girl, the kind he could proudly have by his side as he gave his sermons each Sunday; she wasn’t flashy, or determined to make a tartish spectacle of herself. This would stop all of the laughter dead, and result in the rest of dinner culminating in tense silence, but that was just fine. That was how Bonnie spent her early years anyway.
St. Paul was a town for people like her family. Retired beauty queens turned home-makers and preachers made the rules, while aspiring quarterbacks and darling daughters were set to inherit them. There wasn’t much room for Bonnie, and whether their intentions were good or not, they all liked to let her know that. Her interests were weird, she was too quiet, and not quite pretty enough to get away with it. The unremarkable one. That was fine by her.
High school gave a glimmer of hope. She liked her classes, and her teachers liked her. Most surprising of all was her 10th grade English teacher, who gave her detailed feedback and encouragement on every short story she turned in. Then was theatre, something she briefly got involved in - first it was a few pitches she made on the delivery for some of her classmates in their production of Much Ado About Nothing, which led to her theatre teacher incorporating her ideas, which culminated in her being requested to stand in as Don Pedro when the original actor had to back out last minute. She got to the stage of tech rehearsals, and loved every second of it, before her brother saw fit to tell their parents she was playing a boy in the school play. Aghast, they stormed into the principal’s office, and quickly killed that dream, along with any connections she’d made with the theatre kids at her school when her parents made enough of a stink to have the production cancelled altogether.
There was talk of pulling her out to be homeschooled, because she might be on the path to deviancy, but Bonnie thankfully managed to talk her parents out of it. The bargain was that she could stay, if she just tried a little harder to be normal. One more shot at pageants, her mom said, much to her little sister’s devastation - she hadn’t turned out so homely, maybe she had a shot.
Bonnie didn’t win that pageant, but she did have her first kiss backstage when everybody else had already cleared out with her fellow competitor. Another girl.
They never spoke again. They were too shit-scared to. Going to different schools made that easy enough, but every now and then Bonnie would spot her around town, in the midst of a bustling group of happy, normal friends, even though their eyes would lock every time. They shared a terrifying secret, after all, and that was the only time they could make sure the other wasn’t giving it away.
She ignored that, of course. She wanted to stay at school and keep writing, to polish that craft and get 8 blissful hours of freedom from her parents every weekday. She wanted to gun it for college, and never look back. In her junior year, she won a short story contest that she never told anybody she entered, which helped her to get there. Apparently, it was a huge part of her scholarship to the University of Toronto, which was a huge part of the reason her parents let her go.
The countdown to moving in was excruciating, and process of actually doing so was tortuous. Her parents muttered and griped with each trip to and from the car about all the “freaks” they saw around, especially that girl across the hall. The one with the wild hair and the sparkly eyes who already had music playing in her dorm, who smiled and laughed with her parents as they carried their boxes to and fro. With very firm instructions not to get mixed up with people like that, finally, her parents left.
Bonnie opened up to the world slowly. She went to her classes and kept her head and hand down, she sat near people who looked like they were having fun and tried to imagine doing the same. She watched the beautiful, wild girl from across the hall, who’s name turned out to be Margaret and liked to hang around in their hall’s kitchen while she cooked. They talked, and gradually, Bonnie thawed.
She didn’t realise they were friends until Margaret said so, and she didn’t realise she was friends with her friends until she apologised for interrupting their hang-out, only to be told she had to stay. It didn’t make sense - she was boring compared to them, quiet and gloomy, she brought nothing to the table. That was, until she got the confidence to speak. All it took was one quip, sometimes, just a little something she noticed, and she could have the whole room laughing. It was a powerful feeling. She loved it.
Suddenly, she was branching out. She knew people in her classes, people would approach and speak to her of her own free will, she’d make them laugh and they’d remember her for something other than being the least perfect person in the room.
Getting into comedy was sort of an accident. It started with a few friends from her Understanding Shakespeare class inviting her to a bar after class, only to find it was an improv night. A few weeks later, and she was on stage with them, and an obsession struck. It was one thing to make her friends laugh, but a crowd? Unreal.
It grew from there. Short stories turned to skits, which turned to sets, which turned to open mic comedy nights. They were terrifying and exhilarating, and although her start was clumsy, she had support. Not every friend could make it every week, but Margaret did. She was that little beacon of safety in the crowd, who always laughed even if her voice cracked or the delivery didn’t flow quite like she thought it would. It was during one of those sets that Bonnie realised she had found her favourite person, although what that meant for her, she didn’t know just yet.
That became a little clearer one night when they were out on the courtyard late at night, engaging in some ill-advised under-aged drinking in plain sight. Somebody made a comment about exactly how gay they were, and Bonnie spluttered over her beer, with an incredulous, “whoa, you can just say that?” This was when she found out, much to the group’s amusement, that about half of them were gay, and the other half didn’t know they were yet. When they asked which kind she was, all she could get out was a feeble, “I don’t know.”
There were ups, and there were downs. When the first few months of sheer exhilaration and heart-pounding nervousness passed, a crash followed, like somebody had robbed all the adrenaline from her at once. She had days where she could barely draw her curtains, let alone get any words out on the page, and then fear set in. The idea that one day, somehow, all of these good new things she’d gotten involved in would be taken away. It would be like that stupid play all over again.
At least Margaret was there. She would draw the blinds and drag her out of bed, and get her far, far away from everything. Somehow, she seemed to know the coolest spots, with the freshest air and the nicest views, that seemed to shock her back to life if the physical effort of getting there didn’t do the trick. It was one of those little trips, miles from anything or anyone they knew, where Bonnie finally felt brave enough to take her hand. She didn’t say anything, she wasn’t ready for that, but it was the first shift towards what she really wanted.
The first time Bonnie kissed her was after she spent the night hunched over Margaret’s bathroom sink, dying her hair a bright metallic blue and laughing along as Margaret translated and narrated one of her anime shows from the other side of the room, loud enough for Bonnie to hear. It was only when they cut it short and dried it into its new colour for the first time that she felt herself enough to go through with it.
Her first summer back home was unbearable. Every day there was a tearful fit about her hair, or an attempt to scrub it clean, and some kind of guilt-trip about what had happened to their little girl. Unwisely, she breached the subject of her sexuality over dinner with a “well, what if I was?” comment, which was resolved with a simple, “then you wouldn’t be welcome at this table, sweetie. Could you pass the potatoes?”
When they found out for real, two summers later, it turned out they really weren’t lying. Her father and brother chucked her things out from her old bedroom window while her mother bawled on their doorstep, and her little sister sneered. That was that.
Margaret’s family, gracious as they were, agreed to take her in, and that was where Bonnie learned what a family ought to look like. It was a double-edged sword, a safe and loving place to be was a reminder of what she’d never had before. As much as it saved her, it sent her spiralling. They took her worst episodes in stride, better than she deserved, and watching them try so hard to look out for her was the main push for her getting help. Being diagnosed with bipolar was a sudden blow, but when she thought back, it made unfortunate sense.
She graduated with a degree in English, and not a clue what to do with it. About a year passed, and Bonnie realised she was stagnating. Piggybacking off of Margaret and the generosity of her family started to bring more and more guilt, until she finally decided she had to give them a break and put herself out there, if she wanted any chance of making her hobbies her life’s work. Hitting the pause button with Margaret was agonising, one of the hardest things she’d ever do, but there was a bittersweet understanding between them that, some day, she’d come home.
LA was kind of crazy. Her apartment was crammed and definitely not up to code, but the city was just crazy enough to keep her busy. She worked as a barista in the day and honed her craft at night, between open mic nights and making new friends, trying to work her way into something real. It didn’t necessarily work out the way she silently hoped it would, but towards the end of her time there, she’d managed to book a small handful of even smaller paid gigs, and eventually found herself working as a writer’s assistant. It was an exhausting ride, and those low days felt lower than ever, which was the main reason it didn’t last. She had just barely wormed her way into pitching a few lines in the writer’s room when she hit her wall. Within a weekend she was all packed up, her ride was booked, and she was on her way back to Toronto.
The rest of her life started then. It wasn’t seamless - both she and Margaret had changed, and there was a lot to talk about between them, but it started to work again. Before too long they had their own place. Margaret was working towards her PHd, and in an ironic twist, Bonnie basically followed her parents’ dream for her: she doted on her at home, with meals waiting and scripts clumping together on their computer. She performed where she could in odd places, until she got her first little break on a radio show, of all things. She went from a recurring contestant to the presenter when her predecessor retired, and that was when she found her niche.
The show had a steady sort of popularity, that lent itself to progression. She found herself as a guest again, but this time on TV, in between recording sessions. The pressure that came with that was insane, and had that same push-and-pull effect on her as most changes in her life, but there was always Margaret to go home to, who would brush away those mutterings of self doubt and loathing like nothing else could.
She was nervous to propose. Apparently, the speech she gave was beautiful, although she was so blindingly nervous she couldn’t remember much other than the way her hands shook around the ring box, and ending it with, “and who wouldn’t want to be married to a doctor, right?”
Going into hosting on TV was a jump, but by the time that job opportunity landed in her lap, Bonnie was halfway convinced she deserved it. After all, she was married to the coolest woman she’d ever seen - she could do anything.
