Vortex (in Bitches):
As much as I pride myself on my strength, the Buffistas have been here to support me through good times and bad. And my mother.
Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Erin: Tep, I don't think it makes you a bad genderqueer ally and GF to want to wear the pretty, pretty dress, esp. if Tim is OK with you wearing it...in your hypothetical wedding, if it should so happen, if you both desire.
I think it's perfectly understandable (I'm not saying natural because wedding rituals are a societal construct, and there's nothing inherent about a woman wearing a dress or a man wearing pants).
Any type of marriage or joining ceremony is pretty much practice -- or should be, IMHO -- an exercise for married life, which is all about compromise and a shifting of give and take.
Oh, I'm stating this badly, and I'm pretty sure in spite of my protestations, I'm betraying a heteronormatove prejudice, even though I'm trying not to. It's hard! I have total sympathy for you.
Honestly, I've known you for a decade, and selfishly, I want you to have the pretty, pretty dress! And if you were genderqueer and a born-male, I would then want you to have the pretty dress, too.
So...there.
Um.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

But that's different, those Southerners were Good Noble God Fearing Bible Believing Family Loving People trying to Save Their Way of Life which the God Hating Commie Yankees were Trying to Take Away.
It's OKAY to try and Secede When You are GNGFBBFLP Because it SAYS SO in the Declaration of Independence!!!!!

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Javachik speaks the truth:
fucking iPhone. When I type shit, I mean "shit". Not shot.

In Natter, bon bon sets it up, Ginger knocks it down:
After more than a decade, haven't we porned ourselves out?
Have you met us?

Erin: I really don't care...they're boobs, they're pretty nice ones, and I'll never run for office.

In Bitches, Steph L: Our bed is so high that a box spring would require that we pole-vault into bed.
Connie Neil: And that would be a problem?
Steph L: I have a bad back, he has bad knees, and I am so clumsy (think Mr. Bean) that I would break my face on my first try. Plus the bedroom is too small to really get a running start.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
The place: Natter. The topic: religious education.
Liese S: I think Noah's definitely old enough to hear about God without believing it. I mean, I know kids that age who can articulate why they don't believe in Santa, even though they're willing to let other kids celebrate without disabusing them of their notions.
ita: Which would make him a nicer kid than me, because I was a disabusing little bitchette. No praying during Monopoly! First off, there's no God otherwise there'd be dinosaurs in the Bible, and secondly, if there is, he's not allowed to help your dice roll.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Liese, in Business Talk:
I am at the portion of my fundraising summer where I want to grab the children by their lapels (okay, I know children's clothing doesn't actually have lapels, just work with me here) and shout, "Just give me the damn money, tiny motherfuckers!" But I suspect that the church camp may be looking for a slightly different approach.
