it took all the strength i had not to fall apart

I came across Priscilla, Queen of the Desert on IFC, so I'm watching that for the first time. For a long time I didn't watch it because it wasn't To Wong Foo, and I always wished it was To Wong Foo, because I liked that movie. And I guess at some point I didn't realize it was at drag queens, because all I can think is "who was the woman in the Amex dress at the Oscars, and how would she possibly fit into this movie?" And when I saw those Oscars, back in 19whateverwhatever, I didn't have any cognitive dissonance about a woman being a big enough star in a movie about drag queens to go to the Oscars.

Unless, of course, it was a man in the Amex dress. Which would be awesome.

Sometimes, I like to just not google things on purpose. You whippersnappers don't know what it's like, to not know something. Scope for the imagination is a dying concept.

I keep thinking that I'm sort of moving beyond LJ as a platform, but I'm not sure where to go next. Or if "just leave" is the option. Don't be disgusted; this isn't a farewell cruel world thing. I will never have such a thing. I just. . .I don't know. I wish there was, like, a Gawker Media for Livejournal.

Oh, this is how ping-pong balls out of the hoonanny became popularized. Eh, I don't know about this movie, after all.

my misspent youth, writing, movies
