We The Sapphic Geeks
May. 1st, 2004 08:52 pm"You're SUCH a dork. I mean, you play Magic and- Oooh! A multi-sided dice! Lemme see!"
- Something that Caitlin said the other day. Cait, you're such a dork. ^_^
I was all domestic today. Cleaned and cooked. Also played music that I was playing on the trip last year and got all nostalgic. Funny how you can get nostalgic for a time you didn't particularly enjoy.
It's also funny that even though I remembered it was the first of May today, I didn't remember what that meant until an hour or so ago.
Happy Beltane, Kathryn.
I read smut in French class yesterday. Am a rebel, man. Word.
Also noticed Alex looking Very Displeased in my general direction while Gwen and I were talking. Which really REALLY worries me. Does he think I was flirting with Gwen? WAS I flirting with Gwen? I don't think I was. Do I flirt? Eeeep.
Andre has broken up with Celeste. (Finally.) I think me telling him to either shit or get off the pot has something to do with this. I am pleased.
And apparently right after he did it she sent an e-mail to all her friends about what an asshole he was and how he'd "been planning this from the beginning" and shite. Bitch, please.
It looks like Dad will be going back to sea, even if only temporarily. This makes things a lot easier around here lately, sad though it may be- Mum's certainly happier, and I think (secretly) Dad is too, even if only because it means he'll have a brief respite from being a Family Man.
They might be released The L Word on DVD around November. I.e., right in time for my birthday. Schweet.
Speaking of which.
I was just on an online poll, reading responses to an article about the media's portrayal of butch women, and... People were saying things like "We don't need to show more butch women on TV. Butch women are just whining about what they want to see." And, one of my personal favourites, "Do I want to look at a butch or a beautiful woman? That's right, a beautiful woman." And this was a gay site.
I understand that the gay community doesn't need to be all about the butch/femme couples- but it doesn't need to be all about the femmes either, not exclusively. And it's ridiculous to exclude butches from the "beautiful women" category- butches certainly are women, and some of them are sexy as hell.
Why isn't it okay to be butch anymore? (Or camp, if you're a guy.) Even within the gay community there's less acceptance of butch identity- it's like because mainstream people are more comfortable with queers if we're "normal" in other ways we all have to be like that, "feminine" women and "masculine" men. I don't know why, other than maybe an attempt to be les threatening. But, hell, if people are threatened by a short-haired woman driving a truck then they need to grown a damned spine.
Another possibility could be that people are sort of trying to break down the idea of a butch/femme idealism, but that just doesn't work in the end either- because it's not like butches always want to be exclusively with femmes anyway. And vice versa, of course. I mean, I consider myself mostly butch and I love other butches. And femmes. And androgynes. And... well, just girls in general, I guess.
Man, I am such a dyke.
In musical news:
The Cure is putting out a new album sometime this year.
Placebo is going to fucking Lebanon and Iceland but they can't come to eastern Canada.
My dad did the whole "hey, El! The White Stripes are coming to Halifax!" thing in order to get my attention again the other night. Distressed me so much I hid underneath the table and refused to come out until Mum took off her slippers.
MARILYN PROPOSED TO DITA! That is so CUTE. Wonder what their wedding will be like. I mean, when a fetish model and the Antichrist get married what kind of ceremony do they go through?
( This probably seats me firmly to the left... )
I was considering doing this 24-hour story thing today... it's like doing a 24-hour comic, only instead of drawing 24 pages of comic within 24 hours, I'd have to write 24 leaves full of story within 24 hours. I haven't written anything relevant in a few weeks and I feel like a slacker.
I'm not sure if I'll actually do it. Depends on how lazy I feel. And I need to read Maria Chapdelaine. And dye my hair. And write my next expose orale.
I think I WILL write. Not necessarily the 24-hour thing, but something. Possibly involving an old woman, a fiddle case, and New York City.
But before that I must read L Word recaps. Because this is, you see, crucial to my mental health.
