out_thereHey, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
iibnf I got your package. Hey, hnix di you get my note?
QC is still a blast. We watched "Walking on Water" tonight. It's a good film about housemates dealing with the death of their friend. It's good because it's not about being gay, but it's in there, just accepted as part of reality. It's also great because it hits the greiving thing on the head. If you've been to any funerals, or had the death of someone close to you, you'll feel it in this film. (And, for the slashers, there's a fun little scene of the gay guys having a threesome! *g*)
***
There was a really interesting seminar on being bisexual and polyamorous. Give me a while to think about it, and then I'll probably rant about it. It was really interesting, and I agree with some of the ideas behind being poly, but I don't think I'd personally be able to get over my conditioning enough to do it. However, I still want to read "The Ethical Slut" as I've now had it recommended to me by about five people. *g*
Hmmm... on the good side, I've been wearing a badge all day that says, "No, I'm bisexual. You're confused."

Last night, as well as winning my CD, I had two of Mike's Hard Lemonades. They're good, very much like a Lemon Stoliy's(Rusky/Cruiser). Had to smile while drinking it as I kept thinking ofslodwick's comment "I like my men like I like my drinks. Hard and named Mike."
***
I want to write up more of my WW fic.

Last night at dinner, I had an interesting conversation with an American chick (from New Orleans, and I didn't mention Gambit once! Yay, me!) about sexual experiences. It was really interesting to hear from someone else who did that whole mixing friendship with sex when you're too young for it thing (although she did it far earlier than me). Interestingly enough, we were both a Catholic girls' schools when we did so (but hers was far scarier and stricter than mine. yay for Merici College. *g*)
What was intriguing was her admitting that it tends to fuck around with your views towards sex, which I had to agree with. You end up being fairly confused, mainly because you're not emotionally able to deal with it (you were too young to enter a mature relationship, and it's not a relationship so much as friendship with sex that you never talk about). It's also a case of you do far more without thinking about it, without being able to understand it, than you would now. If you could go back with the knowledge you have now, you wouldn't have done it.
It's great to talk to other people with similar experiences just to know that your own reaction to it isn't as abnormal as you sometimes suspect.

Discussing youth in the queer community and difficulties in reaching to possibly queer students at uni, they brought up the idea of denial through study. Ie. some people get so involved with their course, and spend most of their time stuffing around with their course, that they avoid thinking about the idea of being queer at all.
I had to smile because this was me in year 11 and 12. In year 9, I was involved with a girl for a couple of months (see last section of this fragmented entry), then the friendship broke apart and I became friends with other girls. During these two years, I absolutely bloomed socially. I went from a girl who generally had one or two close friends, and spent most of my spare time at school reading, to a girl who had a group of 5 or 6 friends; who talked or did extra-curricular activities all during lunch and recess; who frequently saw freinds on the weekends and at one stage slept over almost every weekend (or at least every second weekend) at a friends place (guess which friend that was? *wink*).
Year 11 we moved to Victoria, and I went to a co-ed state school and concentrated on my grades (which had slipped from the socialising, actually. There's a reason why most over-achievers are not very popular/social people. *g*). Basically, I spent two years where I went to school and spent time with my family. During those two years I saw no friends outside of school hours. Gee, avoidance/denial much?
***
I also skipped the last session this afternoon and saw Charlie's Angels 2. Okay, just don't try to think during that film. Seriously. I was cracking up at the dodgy plot (Titanium rings? For data that would need to be altered/added to pretty regularly? Sure.) and the ability for the stunts to deny the laws of physics (Demi Moore can fly!), but the background music was good, and there were lots of outfits showing off the girls'... "assets".
Plus, I was mentally slashing Alex (Lucy Lui) and ...(Drew Barrymore), regardless of the end of the film. and, mentally trying to work out a slash fic for Demi Moore's character (ie. she turned bad because she was in love with an Angel that was killed...). Yeah, I made my own fun.
I did laugh a lot through it. They couldn't have made it any cornier and harder to believe if they tried, but I thought both Demi Moore and John Cleese did quite a good, convincing job of their characters (even though the script was cheesier than SV).
***
Okay, I'd better start typing the WW fic or I'll never get to bed.
*hugs FriendsList* Man, I'm missing you guys at this conference. I keep thinking of things I want to post, but I forget most of them by the time I get online.

ETA: Well, Buffy was a repeat, but I missed Crossing Jordan. I completely forgot to set the VCR. Will have to remember to saet it for Angel tomorrow.

Date: 2003-07-08 05:05 pm (UTC)I just wanted to check because of the whole cash in the mail thing (which I had to check with a couple people to make sure it wasn't illegal, which it isn't. It's just stooopid. *g*)
Considering how long it took me to remember to send it to you, I don't think I have the moral highground when it comes to tardiness. *g*
