Sexuality


I bought a bunch of movies at hastings the other day. dug them out of the value bins. among those purchased were "Gia," and "Boys don't cry." i have to say, i'm a bit disappointed. why is it that there are no lesbian love story films in mainstream pop culture that have happy endings? if anyone knows of some that end well, please let me know because i am very distraught by all this. also, the fact that they are both based on true stories makes it even worse.

it seems much of my life lately involves me getting my hopes up only to have them dashed upon the pointy rocks of sorrow. For Example, i got a call from a friend of mine the other day. she is a seamstress. she was contacted by a pre-op transgender named hermione granger about making her some new, 40's style clothing. hermione is looking for a roommate, and liby, knowing i hate my current living situation, told her about me. it turns out we share a common love of comics and anime. finally, after weeks of buildup, i got to meet hermione today. and was mildly disapointed. i had this vision of a glamorous shemale resembling the fabulous transvestites we so often see at the Emerald Club down town. instead, i found myself face to face with a 36 year old...well...if he-she weren't decked out in pink glittery jewelry, an animal print headband, and toting one of those armpit purses, i would probably have taken him-her as one of those creepy fellows who are meant to be avoided in dark alleys. complete with hard core five o'clock shadow and everything. i was a little put off at first...perhaps it was being hugged by someone i just met....i do have personal space issues...so, being myself (and hating judging people based on their appearance...god knows a recently-discovered-raging-lesbian such as myself has no place to judge...especially considering how much i spend on comics!), i decided to give hermione a second chance.

and now i know why liby gets so annoyed by her. poor thing has a rough life ahead. i wish i could be more willing to hang out with her...but she is the kind of nerd that nerds like me make fun of. and that's saying a LOT.

now, i hope no one reads this and thinks "well...this girl is just biased against poor hermione because of hermione's...situation"....it is untrue! i think that everyone needs to find the person inside themselves and make that person happy...but if that person is annoying, it doesn't matter if it came in the wrong package or not...you're still annoying. and apparently if you came in the right package, and just like that package so much you want to be with others with the same packaging...you are doomed to either be shot in the head or die of aids. thank you, hollywood for officially destroying my hopes for happiness...but not for realsies...

...its hard being an optimist in a world like this, but i'll keep plugging away! wow...i've tried to end this blog like, 9 times with no success...i haven't typed this much at a time in ages! hmmm...there's only one sure fire way to end a tale this long...


THE
END!

i thought of one! better than chocolate. it's not a very good movie, if you ask me, but i'm pretty sure it has a happy ending. obviously did not leave much of an impression, i think it was a disappointment of a movie...but...yeah...i'm almost positive no one dies.
