May. 4th, 2009 09:32 pmI have an appointment with school counseling Friday the 15th at 2. It is the second to the last appointment of the year (You have to get one by the end of the school year to have counseling over summer)
I have a baby sitting job interview tomorrow. And even without that, I have a few other options to get some money rolling in.
And we're going Saturday (At 7 am oh gawd) to get mom's new baby. Dad brought over the big dog crate today.
Good day.

May. 4th, 2009 10:24 pmOK. So. You know the argument that it's ok for yaoi fan girls to like yaoi/slash and not support gay marriage/rights because it's a fictional kink fetish thing?
I realized the reply to that.
How many yaoi fangirls out there ONLY are interested in slash as a fetish? ONLY read explicit sexual thing (Or only read things in a explicitly sexual manner, i.e. they are reading that sweet cuddly fic TO get off)
A kink is ONLY about sex. And I understand having weird kinks (I think a friend once sent me a quote that was something like "How often have you been masturbating and looking at something, only to finish and be horrified by the midget, granny, trans porn on your laptop") A kink is too get off.
So, then, that argument only applies to fangirls who ONLY read slash to get off. Not to squee. Not to explore their writing, or talk about their favorite character, or draw their favorite bottom being cute. You don't draw the shoes being cute, or talk about the deep psychological implications of the diapers childhood. If it's a fetish, or a kink, it becomes and object, not a character with a personality. And if you're thinking in terms of character, with personalities, like...you know people, then you should be making the leap that there are real people in those situations.
I kinda petered out there at the end, but you get the point.
Oh, and I got a dreamwidth too. Penguinfaery, amazingly enough.
