c'est la guerre
exciting things that have happened to me since my last update:
1) I stepped on a pin in the carpet barefoot in the dark and it went at least half an inch straight into my foot. It was a fascinating experience. It didn't even hurt that much, even when I walked on it, until I tried to pull it out. Then, oww. But it never did bleed. Still, not something I would've missed.
2) I really, really like windy weather on campus. Particularly with dark-pink-on-light-blue-sky, in the late evening when it's at its quietest.
3) I went with Jen to the Vagina Monologues. Oh, yeah, I have a roommate, Dunno if I've mentioned her here yet, her name's Jen and she's really cool, we can go days at a time without saying a word to each other, which I always thought was a hallmark of a comfortable relationship. But we both seem to be actually making some effort to interact this semester, and she wanted to see VM and didn't want to go alone. I suppose it's one of those things everyone in my culture has to experience at some point, like the Rocky Horror Picture Show (which actually I've still avoided seeing). The theater was full. And at least 80% female.
The main excitement was discovering that one of the Eves was played by a friend from high school who I didn't even know was at college park. (yay Carly!) I can definitely say it is something you need to see on stage; the script does not do it justice. I liked what they did with male actors, to, and adding dances. All the funny parts were really, really good. The more depressing parts struck me as overdone and melodramatic and too ideologically motivated and, frankly, having little to do with vaginas. But maybe that's just me.
Funny bit: There's a section where all the actresses come out in a line and ad-lib what their vagina smells like. (just go with me here). Most of them, rather boringly, named their boyfriends. Actually, given it was opening night, many of them gave *seat numbers* for their boyfriends, which was entertaining. Even more entertaining was when the streak was broken by the girl who said "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban". There's going to be a 'talk to the actors' panel in my dorm this week ; I'm tempted to go just to ask if that meant what I think it meant. :P
That inspired me to a) work on a couple old femmeslash fics and b) try to write that post I threatened in![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
stellar_dust's lj the other day. Neither got finished, which partly explains why I haven't posted the last few days.
Other that that, it's mostly been hanging out on the 'net. Actually, some disturbingly early hour of Sunday morning, I had this weird reality inversion moment, where I'd been on the 'net so long that the real world didn't feel *real* anymore, once I'd, and I stared at the wall of the elevator for a few minutes having to reorient myself.
Er. For actual content,
The wiki is your outboard brain; the junk pile of content only makes sense to you, and there are many blank pages.
yep.

And yeah, the VM's are good. They were more creative than "my boyfriend's name" when I saw them, though, as I recall.

Not to mention that I find the vagina-shaped chocolate candy they sell in Hollins's dining hall to promote the play tasteless in the extreme. Not everyone wants to look at pr0n on their way to dinner. I have no problems with it (other than finding it embarrassing), but there are many others who might.

*reads... Pink on orange is good, too*
*reads... Yeah, it probably does mean exactly what you think it means...*
Wait...
*scrolls back up... Haven't seen... RHPS...*
ACK!

Never was a big foot fan; in fact, I think feet in general are ugly. But "The Foot Monologues" does have an oddly inane ring to it.

Well that's a new one. Definitely gonna have to agree that it's a rather shameless plug.

But, no, like I said, it wasn't something I was particularly eager to see, but I didn't see any reason *not* to. And it wasn't bad. A lot of it was laugh-out-loud, which I wasn't expecting. It wasn't so much defining yourself by an anatomical part as defining the part itself. But it did get scaryliberal in places.
Vagina-shaped candy in the dining hall? ew. I find the sidewalk chalk slogans all over campus to be pushing it enough.

The title does seem to ring a bell, but I don't think I had it.
More stupidity than you can shake a battery at!
