Back in the old days....
THE LANGUAGE OF THE Homosexual (Oct, 1965)
It’s interesting that he defines “Coming out” as essentially discovering that one is gay instead of becoming public about it. I guess that this makes sense since being publicly gay in the 60′s wasn’t really an option.
Huh.
Some of the terms I've never heard before:
Benrus Queen: a homosexual, not necessarily effeminate, who derives gratification from watching others perform a sex act.
Haven't heard "camp" used like this:
Camp: A life-of-the-party person, usually one who attracts attention by utilizing the mannerisms of the other sex.
Green Queen: the individual who frequents public parks to seek gratification in the concealment of the trees and bushes. The added danger of detection plus the feeling of exposure in public apparently enhances the excitement of the sexual experience.
I think "green queen" might have a different connotation these days....
Hopefully both of you do well on your performance reviews. One of the benefits of working for myself is that I don't have to go through them. Of course the real performance review for me is getting clients to keeps hiring me.
Holy crap, I am in a funk.
One of my roller derby team members is a radio disc jockey. She interviewed Josh Groban yesterday and is so cute! I love her.
I will attempt to do the following today:
- write cover letters for 3 jobs and submit with resume
- work on mac's very late annual report
But first I am going to go knit with people for a couple of hours because it will make me get out of my head and force me to make myself get out of sweats.
But is it a funky funk?
Unfortunately, no. That sounds like much more fun.
One of the benefits of working for myself is that I don't have to go through them.
You can just look in the mirror and say, "I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggone it, clients hire me!"
Good-review~ma to brenda and megan.
Onerous tasks: Job application; make appt with financial counselor; more query letters to reviewers for Sam; query letter to a PR professional about her rates; ... er, I think that's it. I don't think I can add much more and still be able to do my actual job-type job.
msbelle - no worries on a note. I LOVE the polish and can't wait to get home from work to play.
Yes, I'm in the office!! And, of course, no one else is. There are 5 offices in my immediate area - all empty but me. Extend that out a bit and there are another 4 offices and only 2 of those are occupied. On top of everything else, this is why I tend not to come into the office.
