Things I Know

Posted under Being RSG, Everyday ramble by Recovering Straight Girl

It’s Thursday and I have absolutely no idea how it got that way. Life has just been a whirlwind of activity and a LOT, LOT, LOT of writing. I’ve been writing so much that my brain is physically tired. Do you know what it feels like to have your brain physically tired? It’s kind of like when you go to the gym and work out three times as hard as usual (not that I would really know anything about that) and you are so fatigued that your muscles feel weak you can’t move. My brain feels like that. As a matter of fact–my brain is buzzing with fatigue. I have Buzz Brain.

I wrote a research paper last week on Marriage Equality and it’s Effect on Children–turned it in on Friday at noon. Got my grade back yesterday. 4.00 out of 4.00= A. Wrote a presentation on Sex Toys for my Human Sexuality Class–no grade yet, but it was good. Wrote my weekly piece for The Oregonian, wrote a post for Back Fence PDX–it’s not up yet. Wrote a piece for The Mercury’s Pride Edition–comes out June 6th. In the process of writing about Spoken Word Publication for tomorrow.

Brain Buzz.

Brain Buzz is the opposite of Writer’s Block. I just decided.

So, LiLo (not LeLo) the other LiLo–the crazy one–is a lesbian? All the queer women in the world and she picks her? Ok. Whatev LiLo.

And Jodi Foster left her girlfriend of 15 years for a writer?

A lot of drama going on in your closet there Jodie.

I asked HG if she was going to leave me for a writer. She said, “Uh, why? I’m already with one.” Right. A Brain Buzzed Writer.

Other Things I Know

New York is going to recognize same-sex unions performed elsewhere–elsewhere meaning places other than New York–like Massachusetts and Canada. This is definitely a step in the right direction and I imagine that soon Niagara Falls will be making a big comeback as The Honeymoon Capitol of the world.

I took the girls to High School Musical on Tuesday. It was surprisingly quite good and I am super-happy that I went. Reminded me a lot of Grease without the smoking and gangs and underage drinking (or bowling–there was no bowling.)

It is now preferred to use on one space after a period when typing. I consulted several authorities on the subject and this was their general consensus. I’m still not sure that I agree–but I am trying to conform. Change is hard people.

Tomorrow evening we are going to QDoc to see a fab queer film.

We had a great time on our Big Lezzie Camping trip–I’ll post some photos as soon as I have some free time. LeLo posted some on her Flickr–including one of my new Ax.

All of you who made fun of my hatchet? Ha-Look at that bad boy. Try not to be jealous of my Butchness.

And I believe that is all of the Things I Know for today.

  1. DolphynGyrl Said,

    Hey! What about those of us getting married in California next month? We can move to New York now, too. :)

    Any chance you might post some of your research paper on marriage equality? Some of us might need some good material to help fight a nasty proposition going on the ballot in November.

    Also, I totally prefer two spaces after a period, but I generally use one. That’s the lazy.

  2. Diana Said,

    I just got my term paper back, got an A and an A for the class, the paper was “Public Perceptions and the Media.” It was about how the media portray the trans-community.

  3. Kristine Said,

    You are one lezzie trip from a chain saw and some chew. *shaking head* LIKE you need a bra anymore…you are so butch!

  4. Erin Said,

    Oooh I love Queer Documentaries. Those all look like good ones. Too bad I have a one year old. I don’t get out much anymore. I stumbled across an interesting queer doc called Little Man, and it’s on the Netflix Queue.

  5. Jan Said,

    I believe in Brain Buzz. I’ve been dealing with CFIDS since 1993. There were many times my eyes could not focus to read or watch tv. My doc said the fatigue was affecting my eyes’ energy.

    Two spaces were needed in the old days when letters had different sizes.

    Only one space is needed between sentences in the IT age.

  6. Lisa Said,

    I believe in Brain Buzz and double spacing after the period. We just can’t change too many things at one time, you know?

  7. Gretchen Said,

    Ah! The double vs single space issue - I am glad I am not the only one who struggles with this. I am a double spacer, I wan’t to be a single spacer because I know it’s what the cool kids are doing these days - but when I do it, it looks wrong and I feel dirty.

  8. Karen Said,

    There must be something sexy about being a writer. I once asked Paula why she likes me so much and the first thing she said was: “You’re a writer.”

  9. JoeInVegas Said,

    Congrats on the grades - on the way to being Doctor RSG!

  10. Kate Said,

    Call me crazy, but I think Samantha Ronson is way hot. If LiLo ever tires of her, I would gladly date her. :)

    BTW, congrats on your grade!

    Also, thanks for the Insanity recommendation. We went on it this past week, and it did indeed live up to its name. I was pretty sure I was going to die, but it was also tons of fun!

  11. karen Said,

    Congrats on your grades and the lovely new ax :o)

  12. Cedarflame Said,

    Nice AX. I always say that to women with axes.

  13. lizzie Said,

    i hate the one space after sentences thing. seriously irritating. but true these days. ugh. we’re also seeing the demise of the final serial comma. space. space. sigh.

  14. Tricia Said,

    Allright, allright, I see the ax, but where is the picture of you swinging the ax??? Hmmmm???

    Perhaps I shall bring red vines, cheese and crackers, peanut m&m’s, chips and salsa (guacamole okay?) instead… you’ll have to bring HG!
