I need to read Runaways. If you like that whole "we're superheroes, but teenagers with problems as well!" atmosphere, look out for Ultimate Spider-Man and Ultimate X-Men. If/when you're in Toronto Misha and I have almost the entire series of both (I have Spidey, he has X-Men) and they're FANTASTIC from a character-standpoint. Best dialogue ever.
I also need to read Young Avengers, which I hear is also in a similar vein (with Marvel comics first openly gay superhero couple, I hear, as well, which is cool)
I think I want to get more into comics in general. I've loved almost all of the superhero movies, so it seems like a logical continuation. Runaways has a gay character as well, but it's a little shortlived. I can't explain it better than that without spoiling you.
I recommend the entire Sandman series, if you can get your hands on it. It can be a little disturbing at times, but mostly it's just a comic book with better writing than most novels.
I'll get back around to being okay with a more middle-ground role, as I really don't have the energy for something more radical. Though I suppose I've never been that girl, at that. Off beat certainly, but never radical.
My grandmother can be a terribly charming woman, but she's losing that now that she's unable to follow the thread of a conversation. I am feeling really unwell today, so I think part of yesterday's crankiness may have been whatever's got me down today.
The blech at LARP the week before last had nothing to do with the narrators and I know those of you involved were frustrated too. LARP is, generally speaking, my one big event of the week, so I'm not really surprised that it affects me, especially when I can get so into character as to bawl on Joyee's shoulder for as long as I did. Thank you for saying that though!
