Baaaaaby....

My niece has a name. Evangeline Jane. She is beautiful, naturally.

I'm fairly certain I had other interesting things with which to regal you all, but I can't remember what it is.

Oh, I know...Did I mention I am going to New York this Sunday to see Patrick Stewart in Macbeth? 'Cause I am! I am very excited. Patrick Stewart! As Macbeth! Can it get better?

Well, Patrick Stewart as Claudius and David Tennant as Hamlet would be pretty fraking awesome, but I don't think that is going to happen any time soon. Sigh.

So. Yay for Macbeth. I said we ought to stand by the stage door and hand Patrick Stewart a poster for OUR play. Just for fun.

I am excited for the next Doctor Who. Agatha Christie. I remember reading somewhere that she actually tried to have her husband killed by framing him for her own murder, but I don't know if that's true, or an urban legend.

Yes, I'm rambling now. I'm tired. the downstairs neighbors had some sort of flaming row at 3am and woke me up. It was scary. Downside of not having a house.

Anyway...have a nice weekend everyone.

Yeah, I'm sorry I haven't made that post yet. I just haven't felt up to it in the last week. I was looking forward to it, too. But then there was that crazy flamewar on my journal, which made me hesitant to be sarcastic about *anything*, even a horrid faux-psychology book from the '60s, for fear someone would flame my ass off again. And then... well, you know the rest. I promise I will get better soon and inform you and everyone else what the proper way of becoming a lesbian is, according to Albert Reissner. :) Hint: being abused by your parents in childhood is really the best way, but if such is not possible, try to get a butch lesbian in good standing to ravish you violently, and once that's happened it is likely you will be caught in the quicksand of lesbianism (he uses this phrase, so I know it must be the proper scientific term) and unable to escape. A good way to find such a butch lesbian is to go to a lesbian bar in Greenwich Village. You can recognize them by the fact that they wear men's clothes, they have big hands and deep voices, and they swear a lot. If you wear a pretty, girly dress, they will be drawn to you as moths to a flame, and the ravishing will take care of itself.

It sounds like you may have some additional plans for this weekend's trip to New York! :) Clearly you should go to a gay bar in Greenwich Village, and then when I make my post about that part of the book, the description of the gay scene in Greenwich Village, you can offer personal anecdotes. Not that I doubt that it differs in ANY particular from Reissner's depiction, but it is always useful to have firsthand information. If you do not wish to be ravished, you can always just dress as a man, and then everyone will know you are not to be hit on. He recommends "quadruple-wide ties" and slicking your hair back with Brylcreem.

Oh, and one last note of caution: under no circumstances are you to wear Suspants. I do not know what they are. But they drive butch ravishers MAD.

Greenwich Village is a long way to go just to make use of the fact that I have a really lovely mum who would not care if I were gay.

Really, I feel undeserving of such a mum. I feel as though I should trade her temporarily to other folks for when people want to come out to a supportive parent.

:) I know some people whom such a temporary trade would have benefited immensely. You should clear this with your mom, then open up a rental site. People could come out to your mom over the Internet and she could say all the supportive things mums should say in such circumstances. Also, from what I know of your mum, I bet if she were to be in the room when people came out to potentially non-supportive parents, she would know precisely what Look to give them [parents] to ensure they didn't start talking any nonsense. She could be a Support Facilitator.

I don't know what Suspants are, but now I want to buy some.

So, my itinary will be:

Train to New York
Lunch
Play
Invite Patrick Stewart to our play, which I am sure he will be DELIGHTED to accept
Dinner
Get ravished by Butch Lesbians
Train Home

This is an amazing itinerary. My jealousy that I cannot go grows apace. Sometime in the future we will have to meet up in NY for a similar itinerary, Y/Y?

[charliesmum.livejournal.com]

That would be awesome. You me and your wife can ALL get ravished by Butch Lesbians, and then have lunch!

Or, just lunch.

[slammerkinbabe.livejournal.com]

Eh, one or the other, works either way. ;)
