burning like matchsticks in the face of the darkness

October is GLBT history month. Explanation from the website:

Thirty-one GLBT leaders were selected, one for each day of the month. Equality Forum solicited state, national and international leaders for nominations. The nominees comprised individuals, living or dead, who have distinguished themselves within their field of endeavor, as national heroes, or in the GLBT civil rights movement.

Not gonna lie, having made a really long post for National Coming Out Day last year, I didn't really know what to write this year. I mean, we're all pretty clear on the concept that I find lots of people with various different bodies attractive, right? And that my preferred self-identifier is "queer" but that I often use "bisexual" for a concision-and-clarity combo.

Merideth posted a YouTube vid: Students from Baker Hall West at The Ohio State University post a response to the call from HRC (Re: National Coming Out Day 2007). It reminded me of the power of knowing people who are out, which I sometimes forget since I have so much queer in my life. [I also like this Featured YouTube vid.]

The HRC article says:

National Coming Out Day, Oct. 11, 2007, falls on the 20th anniversary of the 1987 Gay and Lesbian March on Washington [...]

Today, nearly three-quarters (72 percent) of Americans say they personally know or work with someone who identifies as gay or lesbian, according to Peter D. Hart Research Associates Inc. In 1987, only 11 percent claimed that they associated with a "male homosexual" on a regular basis, according to ABC News and The Washington Post.

Yesterday I was being reminded of how despite the secularization of Christmas (and the fact that early Christians co-opted lots of pagan stuff), SecretSantas and even Yuletide are inherently not "non-denominational," and other issues of how contemporary Western society is structured in a Christian-centric way. And about the importance of being attentive rather than being thoughtlessly tokenizing or "inclusive." What I find really interesting is how many people are saying that what's important to them isn't so much that certain things actually get changed (like Yuletide going live on Christmas Eve) but just that people acknowledge that stuff isn't as inclusive as they like to think it is.

And today I learned that yesterday was World Mental Health Day. You know that joke about how one in four people has mental health problems, so look at three of your friends and if they seem okay well then maybe it's you? Leaving aside the obvious issue that not everyone who's "crazy" particularly "looks" crazy, once I was in college I found that what felt like the majority of the people I hung out with were or had been in therapy or were on medication for something. (In contrast to high school, where I don't think it ever came up.)

I don't have any profound summation, just: Categories of people are made up of individuals. When you talk about categories, keep that in mind.

A couple of weeks ago, Amy (fox1013) and I were talking. We didn't really have queer teenagerhoods, but we did do the queer (ya) lit binging.

What with Amy's kidlit program and worth_the_trip and all, I've been wanting to read queer ya lit again.

I have a list from c. 2002 (and a few I know I've read since then), but even with the blurbs I wrote down, I don't remember much about most of the books I read back when I binged, so I feel like I should reread some of those as well, though I worry that I'll return to books I remember fondly and dislike them this time around.

My other concern is that I'll positively review books, and people smarter and more well-read than I will think, "Actually, that book was crap and/or highly problematic" (what, like you don't judge people when they praise stuff you're unimpressed by?).

So tell me queer ya lit I should read -- problematic books you think it's important to be familiar with are also acceptable recommendations.

For fun, behind the cut is the list I have from my binge. (I've organized them by publication date -- and alphabetical by title within year.)

"Casting an all-female "Star Trek": Make it so." (from AfterEllen.com)

They suggest Helen Mirren as Picard and Allison Janney as Beverly Crusher. [Besides leaving Majel Barrett Roddenberry as the voice of the computer, they declared past Star Trek cast members ineligible.] Which means Helen Mirren/Allison Janney. I felt I needed to put that out there for Ari (and anyone else -- e.g. TLGN).

Also: Kaite (from whom I got this link) asks, "If Katie Heigl is Riker, who should play Troi?"

So, MaryAlice was talking about having sympathy pains with her sister whose foot is all busted up, and Eric thinks feet are kind of gross [I remember this from when we watched Firefly] and over the course of conversation he mentioned that he used to walk on his tippy-toes (I think as a little kid) and got called "Twinkle Toes" for it. "That's not why they called you Twinkle Toes," MaryAlice said without missing a beat. We all agreed he had walked into that one like whoa. (Though as I've said before, I really don't read him as effeminate at all.) She and I agree that this will entertain us all afternoon. ::snickers some more::

And Rickie was on today's West Wing (5.18 "Access"). Michelle says she owns My So-Called Life and I could borrow it some time. (Yes, I have still never seen it.)

[from my dad:] Ann Althouse is at University of Wisconsin.  Apparently someone called it "the Capital of Lesbianism."  One commenter said, "I thought the Capital of Lesbianism was somewhere in New England, Madison is County Seat of Lesbianism at most."  [P.S. The "Elizabeth" in the comments is not me, appearances to the contrary.]

Speaking of Smith....

Ah, Convocation.  Local school must have started today as well, as there were crossing guards on my way to work.

Busy day today -- until about 2pm.  I would like my brain back, as there were lots of LJ entries I wanted to leave comments on (for example) and instead I spent the afternoon basically refreshing LJ.  Tomorrow I'm bringing Astonishing to work so if nothing else I can reread and decide which panels to scan for iconning.  (Feel free to make requests, if you desire.  Though I think the three of you who read both it and this have scanner access.)

Other notes from today:
FormerUnitHead is a sweetheart.  This is not news, but is still pleasing.
Oh lovely British man who made rescheduling so easy and was such a pleasure to talk to... thank you.

(via entrenous88) Daniel Craig will have a male love interest in the next Bond movie.

I've been planning an apartment-warming probably since before I even had an apartment, to some degree, so I tend to think of it as "mine" and unconnected to the other people I live with.  OriginalRoomie, however, suggested inviting the gals who live downstairs from us.  When I came back from the grocert tonight, I got to the porch just as one of them was leaving us a reply not.  She said that they were so excited to be invited (which made me feel like even more of a schmuck for not having thought to invite them myself; I should tell NewRoomie she should feel free to invite any of her friends -- though I never see her anymore).  They're gonna bring brownies :)

I did laundry tonight and had forgotten to bring a book, so I plunked down with a table copy of InStyle.  I was on like the second page when a guy came in with a black terrier, who came over to say hello to me.  Said terrier was soon in my lap, which I hadn't expected but didn't mind.  Apparently her name is Sweetie.  I did not snark to the guy about his original naming.  I still say I'm not a pet person, but I actually really enjoyed just having her on my lap for a while, petting her.

Also: September Frankenmix is up.  Will take me some time to come up with songs for all those prompts.

Discussion on lunabee34's LJ recently has included (but not been limited to) realism of sex activities in fanfic (esp. threesomes), gender-neutral pronouns and trans identity more generally, and lesbian erotica.

And eard_stapa has been posting (flocked) about misperceptions surrounding bisexuals, with emphasis on online dating sites. [Edit: It occurs to me that I can post links to the stuff she was reacting to, so for interested parties: this lj thread and this article.]

Oh, and thistlerose has been talking about Jem fic, which of course leads to thoughts of other childhood girllove (in this case, BSC, though there are plenty of tv options if one were so inclined). [Amusingly, the post above that on my flist was a flocked post mentioning a BSC Little Sister f/f plotbunny.]

And not about sex [or is it?]: Ari, antheia's getting rid of some LMA and LMM books. Thought you might be interested.

Why is club_joss always Spike/Xander? It was something else like once, and i was busy that week.

I reread Good Omens (mostly aloud) on the drive home from Maryland and was struck by how much i wasn’t interested in slashing Crowley and Aziraphale. Though stuff like “Saturnalia” that deals with them interacting with each other is cool. I rather suspect they’ll end up on the growing list of fanon pairings that i get sold on in well-written fic but then when i revisit the source text i think “No way.”

I also need to reread Sandman series (and American Gods). (P.S. Neil Gaiman’s love for G. K. Chesterton makes me sad, because Chesterton drives me up a wall.) Of course, on diadeloro’s suggestion, i’ve started Sharon Shinn’s Samaria books, which is a whole lot of pages. Plus my copy of The Historian arrived at the library.

My brother was griping about current movies and i lent him my Firefly DVDs so he could watch Serenity when it comes out. He skipped the “Serenity” pilot because he wasn’t sure he wanted to stay up for more than one episode, so his introduction to the series was “The Train Job.” He next watched “Bushwhacked” and in talking to him later, he says he thought that was a better intro to the series (than “Train Job” -- he still hasn’t seen “Serenity” to my knowledge) which i thought was interesting, and makes me curious to rewatch those episodes. (Though i already have suspicions based on my knowledge of my brother and my recollections of the episodes in question.)

While in Maryland i caught a couple episodes of Are You Being Served?, which i hadn’t seen since i was about ten. Emma was so right about John Inman though i so didn’t see it as a child, and i do still so enjoy the show. I also saw my first ever episode of Waiting for God. Heart Diana (to no one’s surprise).

I was reading some old Playboys, and one of them had a vote for the Playmate of the Year thing, so they had pictures of all 12 or whatever on one page, all in about the same pose, and i was struck by how nearly identical they looked (the boobs being the really eerie part). The following pages with larger pictures showed that they weren’t all Caucasian, but they were close. It made me wanna write porn -- the erotic chemistry, not so much the explicit sex -- ‘cause Playboy is just so unerotic.

One issue had an article on sex in movies. mmmdirtybadwrong. Highlights: the threesome scene in Wild Things was recommended, i learned that there’s an unrated version of Eurotrip with excessive nudity, and Murderous Maids made me think of certain friends of mine.

I read an interview with Dustin Hoffman in which he says he and Jon Voight in Midnight Cowboys played their characters’ relationship gay. (I really should watch that movie, huh?) Ditto Hook and Smee in Hook.


From the June 27, 2005, Sports Illustrated Score Card (“Ivy Leagues” by L. Jon Wertheim, 20-21):

As Gene Wojciechowski, author of Cubs Nation recently put it, “Cubs and Red Sox fans share fatalism, but Cubs fans’ fatalism has always been wrapped in cotton balls, still soft, a little bunny. Sox fans’ fatalism was wrapped in razor wire.”

What Graduation Weekend stories did i forget?

In one of the classes my dad was subbing for, some kids were talking about who's gay at NHS [the high school i went to and which he substitute teaches at now] and being so matter-of-fact about it -- "He's bi," "Her girlfriend's from Sharon," etc.  This made me happy.

At graduation rehearsal they told us not to open booze at the graduation ceremony out of respect for alcoholics -- the best argument i've heard yet for that policy.

At Commencement, the Senior Class gift to the college was a rock, symbolic of a larger rock which would be erected for students and orgs to paint on.  I thought of Hollins :)

P.S. Dominique took pictures of the comp-sci majors graduating, and jessikins4774 has pictures from Ivy Day and Commencement, if you want a feel for what it all looked like.  And Cate has an account of the Baccalaureate i skipped out on.

During Senior Week, one thing i did was to read some of the other fairy tale retellings in the collections i'd gotten out to do research for my seminar paper.  I never did get around to posting the highlights:

Dorothy Lee Richardson's "Modern Grimm" from Disenchantments (ed. Wolfgang Mieder) is really interesting.

Tanith Lee's "Snow-Drop" (from Snow White, Blood Red) is omg hot and chilling.

From Black Thorn, White Rose:
"Words Like Pale Stones" by Nancy Kress - some really interesting thoughts on words and beauty and etc.
"Stronger Than Time" by Patricia C. Wrede - interesting thoughts on how fairy tales and magic spells work

I really like Sisters in Fantasy 2.
"Shahrezad" by Ellen Guon and "Dumping Ra" by Sharan Newman both use tropes i've seen before, but they're still done well here.
"Angel of the City" by Susan Shwartz is reminiscent of various angels i've seen in other stories, but is very well done.  I have such a weakness for angels who are oh so human.
"Why Is This Night Different" by Janni Lee Simner is a wonderfully interesting and powerful story that hits a lot of my kinks (not sexual ones, thematic ones).

Oh, and Anthony Schmitz's Darkest Desire: The Wolf's Own Tale includes a really interesting on the Grimms and their tale collection.


And because i always forget to look them up when i'm home, the creepy-as-fuck tales i grew up on are: The Fairy Tale Book a deluxe golden book illustrated by Adrienne Segur ("Donkey-Skin," Madame d'Aulnoy's "The White Deer" and "The Royal Ram" -- also includes stuff like "Urashima and the Turtle" and Madame d'Aulnoy's "Queen Cat"), and The Unbroken Web by Richard Adams ("The Giant Eel," "The Moddey Dhoo," "The Robin").

What else have i been doing?

My grandma approves of my break from academia, which is a relief since she was the one person i was really worried about telling.  The plans i do have seem to not really register.  Her short-term memory is so going, and she definitely doesn't tend to retain things that don't fit with what she's expecting, so i rather suspect we'll be telling her about bartender training and massage school to blank looks for weeks.

I finally watched Sliding Doors.  I approve.  For the most part anyway.

. . . There are two schools of thought about the resilience of time.  The first is that time is highly volatile, with every small event altering the possible outcome of the earth's future.  The other view is that time is rigid, and no matter how hard you try, it will always spring back toward a determined present.  Myself, I do not worry about such trivialities.  I simply sell ties to anyone who wants to buy one . . .

One of the things that bugged me about the movie also came up in Grey's Anatomy (which i saw for the first time tonight).  Who today has unprotected heterosexual sex -- i mean, have you heard of pregnancy?  And a slew of doctors?!  [Also, the ease with which Alex homo-bantered made me heart him like whoa, but to say "unprotected sex" and not mention anything about non-penis sex?  I object.]

I had orientation for massage school Thursday night.  The assorted walks involved are not a big deal.  Saw so many sailors.  Apparently the JFK has been in port.

My grandma took me to Salem years ago, and i have vague memories of North Station as something akin to Back Bay station.  Now, however, it is omgFleetCenterliekwhoa!  I am displeased.

Walking to Palmer i passed a sign saying, "Welcome To The Open Door United Church of Christ" [salemmission.org].  The adjacent sign (they seemed to share a building -- which looked to me like a Catholic church building) was for St. Clare of Assisi - Catholic Church in America, "An Association of Catholic Churches NOT In Communion With The Roman Catholic Church" [catholicchurchinamerica.org].
Sometime last semester, Ruhi was asking Emily about this thing she had heard of, Catholic Church of America, not affiliated with Rome, and she was wondering if Emily knew anything about it.

The people at Palmer are all effusive and everything, and definitely knowledgeable, but the hippie-dippie-ness puts me on edge.  During the orientation, the instructors all talked about the courses they taught, and they talked about the National Certification Exam, and the woman who heads the school talked about how it's a computerized test, created by people who don't necessarily know anything about massage but know a lot about testing, and how it's multiple choice, and she said something about how you have to live in your brain for a few hours (while you're taking the exam) and she said that can be difficult for massage therapists [which does make sense insomuch as massage work is very body-oriented and to some degree intuitive and not an explicitly intellectual work], saying she hardly ever lives in her brain, and i thought, "But i always live in my brain."  I'm really into physical contact -- hugs, cuddling, that kind of thing -- but i so very much live inside my head, working with words rather than bodies.  And this whole energy focus makes me wonder if i'm at the right place at all.  I picked it because it was the only one i could commute to, and i figure it's better to have the knowledge and choose to not use it than to not have that option.  And i am such a whore for knowledge, as evidenced when the instructors were talking about their courses and my mental list of Want to Take was growing.

A number of the women (instructors) had bleached blond hair, and makeup, and one had a dark tan that to me yelled tanning salon.  This seemed out of kilter and bothered me far more than all the talk about working with your clients' energy etc.

And omg the EarthLite catalog.  You can purchase massage tables with names like Pegasus and Everest, and there are nature pictures taking up half of each page.  It's intense.  Tempts me to set up my scanner.

At dinner on Friday, i learned that my mom knew one of the instructors before, because she did social work stuff.  Said instructor was one of the people i liked best from the brief introductions we got.  And she does a 4-hour "Caring for Victims of Abuse" workshop [as part of Anatomy&Physiology III lecture series] which i want to manage to attend if not this session then sometime.

That Friday we bought alcohol, my choice.  I ended up deciding on Blue Moon Riesling and admitted to being sucked in by the label (though i read the label for every Riesling in the store and had reasons besides just the label for choosing what i did).  I said i was a victim of their marketing.  We came outside to a beautiful sunset and i said i was a victim of God's marketing :)  The Riesling, for the record, is quite good, though the guy in the store was right that American Riesling is drier than German Riesling.

I applied for a slew of administrative assistant type jobs this weekend (and a variety of other jobs, as i have no shame -- though i still won't work for MassPIRG).  Looking at the listings, i don't want the ones that want me to manage teams or whatever; i want brainless work.  I keep thinking of Stacey's apologies for not giving me challenging work and my insistence that really this was what i wanted, that i used my brain enough.  And also of this year's commencement speaker talking about a waitress in her area who loves her job in large part because it gives her the freedom to do so much else with her life.
I did a cognitive whosiewhatsie and ow my brain.  The recognizing faces portion reminded me of my self-defense class.

offbalance has the most eclectic "5 books that mean a lot to me" i've seen for that meme yet.  (She's also the second person to tag me to do that meme.  And i will do it.  That question is just like the hardest thing evar.)

Post-"Chosen": Girl Pitches Perfect Little League Game and ladyvorkosigan wrote The BSC, Vampire Slayers which i think i'm afraid to read.

twinkledru says, I am really, really tempted to write a "Five Jedi Yoda Never Trained" story. With one of the five being River.

Whole lotta links about writing teh sex in the most recent metafandom.  Basically summed up by: generalizations are bad, and stating your opinions in an inflammatory manner riles people up.  I do like this bit, though.  ( cut for some explicitness ) Oh, and jadelennox quotes a Newbery winner: "reality is no excuse for fiction".


In the interest of getting rid of stuff:
--The Blending by Sharon Green (6 book series, quite good, i just don't expect to reread them anytime soon)
-- the first four Earth's Children (The Clan of the Cave Bear etc.) books in paperback (i really like the first book and keep intending to read the rest, but i'm thinking it's not gonna happen anytime soon)
Any interested parties?

Hey, Ashley, it's not Showgirls, but...

And Emma, clearly this is when you should come visit me :)

Angelina Jolie is only #7?


And okay, i think i'm done now.

Why did it take me so long to go visit the Michaelson Gallery? Note to self: visit often

"You're too practical" -Felicia, to me, at lunch. She continued to say that i should be more fluffy, by which apparently she means whimsical. Somehow not something i ever aspired to. Meg says i'm whimsical, which coming from her i don't take as an insult. This became a theme, recounted at dinner, and Anna said, "The idea of you being fluffy scares me."

I also talked about my Inklings class and C. S. Lewis and Surprised by Joy and my fury at the ending and in my recounting some of my initial fury came across and Emma said that was the first time she had ever seen me really angry. This seemed so odd to me, but then of course i realized that i tend not to get angry at my friends, so they're unlikely to see me angry. Allie and i have had heated discussions (often via LJ/AIM) but i'm not sure i've ever gotten really furious, either in print or in person. Hmm.

Kate and Laura introduced me and Cat to Foamy. Foamy's Rant II reminds me so much of my younger brother. (I e-mailed said brother and he replied: "that site is awesome, especially the rants.") I agree with Kate that the Amityville toaster was definitely the best of the ones we saw.

[And if you need more procrastination: Super Bowl ads]

Cat and i went upstairs to Felicia and Hilary's room and were cryptic and Felicia asked what we were up to and Cat said "sex" because that's her answer to everything (well that and potatoes) and then realized what she had said (and Cat is SO straight) and we started dying of laughter.

Ash Wednesday is tomorrow. When did that happen? I think part of my problem is that the weather has been so gorgeous that it doesn't feel like that 'long dark teatime of the soul' period i associate with Lent. Should i give up angsting about people liking me for Lent?

My BtVS-verse femslash ficathon assignment worries me.

I'm still deciding how i feel about Stacey's new haircut.

All American writing gives me the impression that Americans don't care for girls at all. What the American male really wants is two things: he wants to be blown by a stranger while reading a newspaper and he wants to be fucked by his buddy when he's drunk. Everything else is society.

NYTimes Top Story today:

BOSTON WINS SERIES, 4-0
Red Sox Erase 86 Years of Futility in 4 Games
By TYLER KEPNER
The Red Sox, the team that perfected heartbreak, silenced the Cardinals, 3-0, in Game 4 to win their first World Series since 1918.

[...]

Boston won it in the city where Johnny Pesky held the ball in Game 7 of the 1946 World Series, the first of four Series calamities for the Red Sox.

[...]

Epstein, the general manager, grew up in Boston with the lessons of generations before him. He and his twin brother, Paul, stood together on a couch in 1986, when they were 12 years old, ready to jump for joy when the Red Sox beat the Mets.

That victory never came, and this year when the Yankees led the Red Sox in the championship series, three games to none, Epstein knew the facts. No team that had ever been in such a hole had recovered to win the series.

The Red Sox' players knew it, too, but they did not care. They have not lost since. They are the last team standing. They made history.

"They believed," Epstein said. "That's all that matters."

Dude, i got teary reading the end of that.

Trials of faith have never been foreign to the New England mind. Whether it was scratching an existence out of the granite-veined earth or the preparing for an afterlife of Calvinist severity, the joys of the moment have always been spare - and attended by no small amount of toil.

The failures of the Red Sox are a product of struggle, not concession, and to some, they are best seen as the reflection of the region's doctrinal traditions. "There's something about the Puritan legacy," says Isaac Kramnick, the vice president of undergraduate education at Cornell University and a Red Sox fan. "There's something about the inherent nature of New Englanders" that believes that bad can triumph over good.

In other news....

Forthcoming book argues Lincoln was gay.

"Ancient hobbit-sized human species discovered"

"Since the Redskins became the Redskins in 1933, the result of the team's final home game before the presidential election has correctly predicted the White House winner. If the Redskins win, the incumbent party wins. If they lose, the incumbent party is ousted."

"Interested in becoming president this year? If so, hope for an electoral college tie. With an unlikely, but plausible, perfect tie -- 269 electoral votes for both George W. Bush and John Kerry -- anyone meeting the Constitutional qualifications for president could end up president."

I enjoy the smith_step chalkings -- “Ballots kill cute helpless trees. Stop the violence. Don’t vote.” Much better than some of the crap the Smith Dems have put out -- “Bush is scary. Vote Kerry.” “Like books? Vote for a President who can read. Kerry 2004.”

Dear Everyone: Stop talking about anniesj!!!! Her situation is not a sign of the apocalypse. Really. I promise.

The election is in mere days and i haven’t been defriended in ages. (Though the magic of Default View of course allows people to ignore me without my knowing.) Is this an additional sign of the apocalypse?

I am so at that point of wanting Kerry to win just so i don’t have to listen to 4 more years of “Bush and his cronies are teh evol!!11” I’m not happy with either of my options for President and have once again reached the point of not caring about the results of the election.

No one made reference to Red Sox/Kerry today, which made me happy.

I was telling Emma the other day that i dislike most movies/books/TV because i dislike most people, so obviously portrayals of human behavior/interaction is less than appealing to me.

Valerie Martin spoke to my UMass class today. Talking about why she set her dystopia in the past, she said that to say that we have a long way to go until we hit dystopia is a kind of optimism. She also said, “It’s bad now, but it’s been worse, and it’s gonna get worse,” that that’s why writers keep writing dystopian novels. Though i don’t have Emma’s aversion to books with sad endings, books that are thoroughly depressing (like, oh, 1984) are not really my thing. I would much rather read/write stories about people struggling, and triumphing -- even if it’s only in small ways.

Moving on to fannish stuff (that isn’t baseball)...

vid of the S/X outtake kiss from “Normal Again” is circulating. (see mpoetess and others)

Talking about Edmund (King Lear) in Shakespeare class i totally thought of the First Evil’s speech at the end of “Lessons” (BtVS 7.01) -- “It’s not about right, not about wrong; it’s about power.”

Oh, and the official release date for the S7 DVD is November 16. Angel S5 isn’t out yet, but given that its release schedule has been Feb/Sept i’m guessing it’ll come out this February.

Release of the Wonderfalls DVD (13 episodes) got officially reported. Release date is February 1.
