I want credit! And residuals!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Also on the IRC Chat room where I met Dan and Andi there was someone who did not like Angel the Series. She'd watch and then she wouldn't like it but she'd keep watching. And I finally asked her why and she said she was a "completist" (or something like that). She started watching it and she was going to watch it to the end (either because she'd started watching it or because it was an extension of Buffy).

I get kind of like this sometimes. If I start a story, then I want to know how it ends. Knowing that something happens next, but not knowing what it is, makes me antsy. (This is the only reason I read all the way to the end of the Twilight series.)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

That's why I finished The Kiterunner! Cured me of that, right good. I hated that book. Now, if I don't like it, I stop wasting my time with it. Maybe I'm just old and cranky.

Thrive to spite them

But this was in the early seasons. I stopped going to the chat room so...I keep wondering, did she keep watching through the end? And it wasn't just watching, but logging on after the episode to complain about how much she didn't like it.

I'm not really like that, if I'll stop reading a book - or I'll skip to the end. Or, more recently, look on Wikipedia to find out what happened so I don't have to read/watch the whole thing.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Cross posted w/Bitches cause I am in a (homework related) panic:

I am working on a homework assignment and I don't know the proper way to describe the transgender issue with Girl Scouts. Is it correct to say it is a "transgendered boy" that joined the Girl Scout troop because even though she has the bits of a boy, she lives as a girl? I want to make sure I say it right.

My brother posted a picture of their (male) cat schooling the (female) dog and noting the boys once again beat the girls in their household.

Shortly thereafter, my SIL posted that my brother had just been locked out of the house and texted her to let him in. He was locked out. By the cat. HER cat. The one he'd been touting as being the most badass male in the house.

It's pretty funny to me, at least.

Depends on how clear you want to make it. You could say an "MTF child" or something to be maybe a little more clear. Not sure what the most appropriate would be. But if you do what you're saying, I think the phrase you want is "transgender woman ((girl?)"

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

But if you do what you're saying, I think the phrase you want is "transgender woman ((girl?)"

This is how I've heard it as distinct from "genetic girl" or GG.
