Or maybe "out" only means in the media, officially?

This, I think. "Officially" celebrities are only out if they announce it at a press conference, apparently. Just going about your life as if your sexual preferences were not newsworthy doesn't seem to count.

I always think people must think Kristen and I are a couple, but they don't.

I do! Or, I mean, I figure until told otherwise that any adult pair living in the same home are doing it like bunnies. It's just...simpler. Also, irrelevant.

Poverty simulation game.

I've played that. Never make it very far. Would like to make it mandatory for all politicians, especially Tea Partiers.

See also, Matt Bomer. I don't think I knew about Sean M, though.

Tons of people would rationalize their way out of it.

I couldn't pass a typing test, and yet I spend a great deal of my work and leisure time typing, but I assume my degree and years of experience would save me, and I'd have better options than the ones listed. But is that really true?

I also have my parents, who wouldn't allow me or my imaginary child to live in my car. I have safety nets. Not everyone does.

For some people, it's difficult to put themselves in another's shoes. Also, it's a rationalization to say, "those other people must have done something wrong to end up in that place." This happens often in rape trials as well. "Well, that couldn't happen to me" is a way your mind protects itself from something icky, uncomfortable, terrifying. Trying to walk people back from that thinking is difficult to impossible.

I mean, think of a belief you hold to be rock solid, undeniably true. Imagine I walk up to you with proof that you're wrong. The world is, in fact, flat. Or whatever it is. It's difficult for any of us to get the needle off the grooves in our minds. It's frustrating.

So, first day back from my vacation and my boss and favorite developer are leaving. For those keeping score at home, that is 1/3 of my new office. Job is supposedly safe and secure but holy sh*t.

ita,

don't watch the Playboy Club. Unless you want to go full rage blackout.

I heard the show is pretty terrible also and its ratings aren't great.

How was Pan-Am?

Who knew that Sean Maher was in the closet?

My date to the Serenity premiere showing, who had never seen him in anything before that?

How was Pan-Am?

I haven't seen it but it's gotten surprisingly good reviews.
