Wow, that is definitely a movie to see at an IMAX. Glad I did. SO PRETTY.

Why don't I have a light plane? I need to fix this.

I'm cosplaying Castor. It is my destiny. It's like they took the campy gay man out of my soul and put him on screen in the future, where all is fabulous and clubs only serve radioactive drinks and have Daft Punk DJ.

I mean LOOK AT HIM.

One complaint, though. Why are all the female programs in sky high wedge heels? Gem I can understand, but Quorra too?

So, in case you were no where near the internet or the media, Don't Ask, Don't Tell got repealed. I am glad for this because as my mom put it "it's not like they don't know who is or who isn't gay in the military" but as I said, "yeah, but now they can't use that as an excuse to get them kicked out." Not to mention worse things.

About fucking time for that. Naturally, though, there's stuff going on that still upsets me.

Expandthis shouldn't be too triggery, but just in case you're triggered by rape apologists, I'm cutting this for you )

I hope to some day live in a world where my words and the words of my friends will truly matter. Today is not that day, and we've still got a long way to go.

So, I had a pretty good time at a costume party last night, pictures of the costume to come later. I went to a primarily nerd gathering as it turned out, and quite a few of the costumes were the sorts of things you see at conventions or nerdly injokes. There was a Black Butler group, a representation of several Treks (some Original Series, some New Trek, DS9 Bajorans, a Captain Janeway), A JOAN FUCKING HOLLOWAY WITH A PEN NECKLACE, and more ninjas than I can shake a stick at. There were also a couple completely tasteless costumes, because well, some types of nerds have utterly no self-awareness or sense of propriety.

As you can imagine, I was mostly nerding out! And I got recognized by a couple of really cute girls in my Hades costume and yay, good time!

Of course, there was a downside. The downside was The Girl Thing.

Expandjust because she likes the same weird shit as you doesn't mean you're soulmates )

Today is apparently National Coming Out Day or something, in addition to being Columbus Day. I like the former better than the latter, so I'm celebrating that!

If it wasn't obvious, I am Gay with a capital G. Cockphobic. Lesbian. I'm not picky about the terms. It's ok if you are! But I'm not. As long as it doesn't suggest I'm doing the menfolk, I'm fine.

Expandruminations and reflections of being queer in my world )

Here's to those that can be out, and those that are still threatened by the world to stay closeted, may they find a place to hang or a people to hang with. To my trans friends that still need more support before the world will accept them and my hetero friends that are being awesome non-jackasses. And everyone in between. Everyone's a weirdo in their own way. Love you all!
