The lightning emphasizes the gay. It means you're super gay.

[cheesyechidna]

I can't be gay. I'm a girl

[joulescole]

Sure you can be gay, Jill. It just means you're mentally a man who likes other men. They have surgeries to help with that.

You know, strangely enough, my favorite author, Murakami Haruki, had a character exactly like that.

[cheesyechidna]

But what if I'm a mentally a man who wants to stay a woman and still love on other men?

The Japanese are weird.

[joulescole]

That's actually what the character was about. She/he didn't even mention that kind of surgery. I just threw that in there for your benefit, just in case.

The name of the book is "Kafka on the Shore." It's his latest novel, and it's great. Colonel Sanders is even a character.

And as for your question, I fully support you in any decision you make. However, I may become less attracted to you if you decide to have a penis. Maybe.

[cheesyechidna]

Pshaw.

Regardless, I think I'm going to get myself a penis and make it big in Japan. I hear they're all over that over there. I'll go be friends with hardgay. Maybe we can go surfing.

[joulescole]

While Hardgay is quite an interesting guy, I'd suggest you go to Thailand. Apparently, Thailand is quite famous for their gender reassaignment surgeries. Japan, not so much.

[cheesyechidna]

Well, of course I'd get it done in Thailand, maybe work the club circuit around there for awhile, get famous, and then go to Japan. Then I'll go on a game show. Hardgay will be my co-host. I just need a good stage name. Maybe Levitra.

[joulescole]

That might be good. But remember, you need a name that sounds good in Japanese. That would translate to 'Labitura.'

And try Korea for getting famous. That's where the new cool kids are from, or so I heard.

[cheesyechidna]

Bullshit. All they do is smoke and write weird essays in religion about how everyone is going to hell. But maybe that's just the Christian Koreans.

[joulescole]

Woah. That's certainly a new one on me. I didn't think Christianity was very popular in Korea. In Japan, it was much more popular when it was illegal. It never really caught on again since then. And of course, since China is a mostly-atheistic state, no go there either.

When did you read Korean Christian work?

[cheesyechidna]

Emory has a large Korean student population, and I was in a religion class with a lot of international students (mostly Koreans). My sample is probably skewed (it seems like Christians would be more likely to move to America), but according to this article ( http://www.geocities.com/~iarf/tedesco1.html ), Christians make up 20% of Korea's religious population. This class was supposed to make you think about other religions and understand their beliefs, which I had sort of assumed most people had done by college. The stuff I read from these kids though, was stuff like "Hindus do _____. I'm not sure why they don't believe in Christ though." or, my personal favorite, "Ghandi was a man who did a lot of good in the world. It's sad that he's in hell now."

Aaaahhh, organized religion...
