WTF STOP IT 2015 I SWEAR I CAN GET YOU FIRED

It’s funny how seeing things can be a visual trigger for suddenly remembering a dream you had otherwise forgotten. I had already remembered the one this morning with crows and the night sky and Michael (I said get out of my head AUGH), but until I scrolled past this on my dash I did not remember that earlier this morning I had a very bizarre dream about Gamzee.

Firstly it was bizarre because I do not read Homestuck and basically everything I know comes from what the few Homestuck types I follow post (not much) and that one time I got sucked into http://mspaintadventures.wikia.com/ for a few hours off one simple question of "what the hell are quadrants anyway" because it is a wiki and wikis are like that. So just the fact that he featured at all was pretty weird, but whatever.

Secondly it was bizarre because it was the type of dream I occasionally have where XYZ fictional character gets all affectionate and tender with me. Rarely are there actual sexytiems although there have been some occasions where goings-on were sufficiently intense that I would suddenly wake up feeling quite physically aroused. I don’t quite remember if this was one of those instances, whether the moaning noises were only in the dream or whether sound was actually coming out of my mouth (my husband tells me I sometimes make whimpering noises in my sleep when I am having one of these dreams). But whatthefuck brain. Gamzee. WHY GAMZEE.

He was an extremely good kisser and his touches were out of this world. Clothes on, I might add. Intense, engaged eye-gazing, not soppy googly eyes, but, like, heat. and light. or more like dark. dark light. I wrote that phrase in a fanfic once trying to get across some kind of image of blackpurpleradiantflamedark and my beta was like "wat, oxymoron, delete" and I refused to take her advice. So, if you understand the image, that.

The points of his horns were sharp, very sharp. Pinprick sharp. Filed hardened steel sharp. The slightest touch and you will bleed sharp. And I did, so I did. A drop running down my finger. (Red, of course.) He smiled, if you can call it that, or at least I felt it more than I saw it, something about a shifting of body, because I think he was standing behind me holding me at that point and I was reaching up backwards - he was significantly taller than me (5'4") - and pricked my finger (on purpose? by accident? just wondering what would happen? not sure).

whiskey tango foxtrot this dream i cannot even. i mean. GAMZEE. wha. O.o

Tennessee Senator Stacey Campfield is possibly one of the biggest d-bags I've seen evidence of in recent times
He's the guy who started the "Don't say gay" bull

oh?

Oolon Colluphid says:
err, bill, but that works

bollocksed monophthong says:
lol

Oolon Colluphid says:
But claims that it is "virtually impossible" for heterosexual intercourse to pass HIV/Aids.. that HIV came from a gay man having sex with a monkey (because all gays are also into bestiality) ... And has also claimed that the "Black Caucus" (black lawmakers group in Tennessee) is racist for not letting him join, and that even the KKK doesn't ban members by race, and are thus less racist

bollocksed monophthong says:
....
that's way past douchebaggery into ... into ... i don't even fucking know what to call that last bit there
"special" really isn't adequately describing it

Oolon Colluphid says:
Black Caucus member: “Why he chose to focus on the Black Caucus, I have no idea other than he is crazy and a racist.”
The 37-year-old Campfield defended himself Saturday in a message on his Web journal, or blog, under the heading “I too dream.”

bollocksed monophthong says:
well okay
i'm only too happy to judge him not by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character
he asked for it

I just... mah head asplode.

A company run by former American International Group Chief Executive Maurice "Hank" Greenberg Monday filed a $25 billion lawsuit against the United States, claiming that the government takeover of the insurer was unconstitutional.

In its complaint, Greenberg's Starr International said that in bailing out AIG and taking a nearly 80 percent stake, the government failed to compensate existing shareholders. It said this violated the Fifth Amendment, which bars the taking of private property for public use without just compensation.

What the... aiieee... guh??

From the jacket flap of Queer (In)justice: The Criminalization of LGBT People in the United States which I am just cataloging:

"...examination of queer experiences as 'suspects', defendants, prisoners, and survivors of crime. The authors unpack queer criminal archetypes--like 'gleeful gay killers,' 'lethal lesbians,' 'disease spreaders,' and 'deceptive gender benders'--to illustrate the punishment of queer expression, regardless of whether a crime was ever committed."

I get "disease spreaders" and "deceptive gender benders" (sad as it is that people think this way). But I can't say I've heard of "gleeful gay killers" or "lethal lesbians" (?! sounds like some kind of B-movie).

Wow.

Apparently the Doubletree is already sold out (on Friday and Saturday at least - they were trying to give me a Sunday arrival, wtf?) for PantheaCon 2012. The convention code has only been available... less than a week I think. edit: apparently, a mere seven and a half hours, and according to nytemuse, and even so I still missed by a few hours.

Well.

Guess we're not going then. (I don't find it acceptable to stay outside of the con hotel.)

The clerk told me some people have been booking blocks of sixteen or twenty rooms. Way to fuck it up for the rest of us, whoever you are.

eta: I do understand there could be legitimate reasons for one person to book that many rooms - a large group or family all travelling together, perhaps. But somehow I doubt that's what's going on in the majority of those cases.

...it's probably best not to ask.

cannot stop giggling about this subject heading.

(I think this novel is about a guy suffering from an anal fistula and really the description of life in a small Pacific island community is the point, but still. THAT SUBJECT HEADING.)

So there was this line in tonight's Big Bang Theory, in the context of other similarly silly speculations about who was the bravest person in the Marvel universe, about Captain America's undocumented Mexican gardner. (Neighbors of this line included something about Wolverine's proctologist, and whether Wolverine had an adamantite prostate.) I said "So, is Captain America standing in for Meg Whitman, here?"

I was just being glib, but.... yeah, I wish I hadn't, because enotsola is over there making a manip of Captain America with Meg Whitman's face and MAN IS IT EVER DISTURBING. Way worse than his "Baraka Obama" thing. Talk about using your powers for evil!

eta: Oh great. He put it in our shared folder for your, er, enjoyment:
