Heh.
A ghost? What's the deal? Is every frat on this campus haunted? And if so, why do people keep coming to these parties, cause it's not the snacks.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Wow, what? I'm not marginalizing or dismissing anything. You can be any flavor of the rainbow you please as you define it. I'm not putting you in a box or defining it or denying it. All I said was that as the gradations of taxonomy become so distinct as to define your own personal space it is no different than saying, "You like what you like."
That might be how you're reading the conversation, but I disagree. We weren't talking about "I want my own very specific set of likes and dislikes to become its own distinct label with a support group and flag and pride march!" We're discussing sexualities that aren't the majority, but they're certainly larger than a group of one.
So yeah, saying that the "gradations of taxonomy" are so narrow as to apply to only one person is, actually, marginalizing. Very much so. But thanks.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Having read many literary correspondences over the years I can guarantee that the most consistent theme of a writer's career is begging for money from family members, friends and patrons.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
Wait, really? She was saying to have a backup is bad for Your Art?From her Twitter: the time you spend building extravagantly safe back-up plans is the time you should be spending on plan a. pay attention. #FuckPlanB
I don't know what she means by "extravagantly safe back-up plans", but I will say that if you're someone who survives on tour by making blog posts and sending multiple emails asking your fans to feed and house you (and all of your tour employees), then your own Plan A rather depends on other people's back-up plans.
I hear you about the conflicted when it comes to her.
I keep trying to think the best about her, because she's married to someone I respect. I really do try.

"Timsexual" seems like a fairly narrow parameter.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I finding the parsing important - because i don't have my own words for how I am. haveing a definition - however loosely I fit it - is very cool. and i got that today

Exactly. And I agree about her husband, but some days it's pretty tough.

Jilli, thanks for the twitter name of the spider person.
