sings A Long and Rambling Pooooost...

Aug 17, 2010 13:07

I've been doing quite a bit of thinking lately, some of it spurred on by darklord_rising's articles. But first I should tell you flisters about yesterday simply because it's silly. After learning over the weekend that my checking account was overdrawn (how did I miss that??) I drove up to the bank to rectify the matter. Sure I could've done it online but I wanted ( Read more... )

relationship, progress, exercise, transgender, family

Heh, if you're going to hang with Bobby, let him know you're not interested in dating if you're not! Do not end up going through the thing that happens to me often: accidental boyfriends!

Sherlock, do you have a John?

And gender is a really tricky issue. I used to wish I was a guy so much. It was part of my issue in relationships with guys (and still is). I always was sort of flattered when I would get called sir, but it doesn't happen as much now that I am a bit older. I think it is awesome that you can live in a more gender neutral way! Androgyny is beautiful.

Accidental boyfriends! Must... be on... guard! Yeah, I'm going to play things by ear but if it really seems as though he's angling toward dating I'm going to tell him that I don't know if it's a good time for me and explain, well, a bit of my reasoning at least.

Sherlock, do you have a John?

Beg pardon? Are you calling me a prostitute?

Bad joke, I know. :p Well, depends on the context. I think Jules is going to try to be my Watson for D*C next year. ;)

In regards to gender... YES. Tricky indeed. I pretty much agree with everything you said up there, though I've only started getting 'sir'-ed in the past few years, since I cut my hair short. And now not so much now that it's longer again. :P As of right now I'll confess I'm a little less gender neutral and a little more... gender chaotic but I do think that this androgyny thing might just work for me. XD

stupid_drawings August 18 2010, 18:04:27 UTC

Gender chaotic! That makes me think I am gender evil because no matter how good my characters start out, they always end up making an extra roll to twist their knives when killing something. Oops.
Awesome. I kind of want walk around as john watson at some point this year d*c, and am hoping I run into a sherlock. :p
John, lolz.

Oh, and I will tell you of the accidental boyfriends next time we chat! It always cracks tiff up.

fiendish_thingy August 18 2010, 19:56:51 UTC

I think that gender needs to be laid out like DnD alignments, yes. XD Things would be way more interesting that way.

Eeeee. If you end up walking around as John try to get some pics. I hope that you find a Sherlock. :) John's some kinda awesome, yes he is. (Come to Comic Con next year! We'll Shwatsonlock. Or something. :P )

And hee. I look forward to hearing the hilarity.

stupid_drawings August 19 2010, 00:09:37 UTC

Ah! You're trying to bankrupt me! How much, on average, is comic con?

I like the DnD gender alignment theorem. I would like to subscribe to your newsletter. :P

fiendish_thingy August 19 2010, 02:34:32 UTC

Re: Comic Con? Eh. Cheaper if you're local (much as you say D*C is). I always try to go with the cheapest (and safest) accommodations anyway (which has meant, on one or two occasions, that I've had a bit of a walk from con to bed and back again). But the reg is... I don't have solid evidence right now but I think it's about $75-ish right now but it goes up/sells out quickly. We might be able to get professional badges though. We just have to apply/prove that we've worked as artists in some capacity and then we're in for free!

stupid_drawings August 19 2010, 02:41:54 UTC

Sweet. Dunno how I would...

brilliant_snark August 18 2010, 17:56:45 UTC

*volunteers as John* I mean, um, what? I'll just...be over here...

(I think I'm more Sherlock-minded anyway.) ;)

ACCIDENTAL DATING! God, so many times...

stupid_drawings August 19 2010, 00:05:49 UTC

Yes, accidental boyfriends happen so much it's stupid! I even had one guy that laughed at the accidental bf stories, then was totally angling his way towards being on on purpose! WTF!

I would totally love to be Sherlock, but a 5'2" Sherlock is just silly. But if I let my hair grow out to my natural color, I've pretty much got John Watson down! I would Watson to your Homes anyday! ;P

fiendish_thingy August 19 2010, 03:00:22 UTC

Oh, and I'd Sherlock to your John any day! ;D Just sayin'.

stupid_drawings August 19 2010, 03:02:43 UTC

Yay, so many Sherlocks to choose from! What is a Watson to do? Oh, right, be happy.

Totally talked Jules into Sherlocking with me at D*C this year. Dunno when, since I already have like 8 damn costumes...

fiendish_thingy August 19 2010, 05:05:46 UTC

Oh that's right! RDJ!Sherlock, right? I can't wait to see your costumes. Though, yeah, it seems like it's going to be a busy, busy con for you. SO many damned costume changes -- you're going to need a schedule!

stupid_drawings August 19 2010, 05:30:48 UTC

No, I talked her into 3 patch Sherlock :P

I keep forgetting costumes, too! I keep forgetting pirate (which at this point is no longer a costume as much as an outfit) and Neapolitan (which would mean I would need to bleach the breeches, since Ian put fake dirt all over the front. Not the back or sides, just the front. Eh, maybe I will skip Bonaparte this year...

fiendish_thingy August 19 2010, 06:04:58 UTC

Oh sweet! I thought she said something about RDJ!Sherlock at one point so I wasn't sure. Yaaaaay 3Patch!Sherlock!

... When I hear Neapolitan I think of two things: Ice cream and giant mastiffs. Just sayin'.

stupid_drawings August 19 2010, 13:39:12 UTC

It's Napoleon Bonaparte in the Neapolitan color scheme. :P Pretty much the best thing ever.
