"Everytime I look in the mirror...
I can't believe how awesome I am."
-Some girl's t-shirt today

I couldn't sleep last night because I was nervous about fight class for self defense- our teacher and his pals get in pads and gear and attack the students in different scenarios. Nervousness aside, I did awesome! I was in a rape scenario and I kicked the guy's ass. Take that, patriarchical rape culture! The only problem is, I'm a little overconfident now. I might just randomly attack any guy that looks at me sideways.

In other news, my current crush asked me if I was going to drag king show tonight. Of course I didn't end up going cuz I had all this homework and plus- what the hell am i supposed to wear? Do I have to dress like all the fratboy wannabe girls on my campus, or do I have to be super girly? (not a good look for me. )

This butch-femme bullshit is too much, but everyone seems to buy into it, and if you don't everyone assumes youre straight. Well, I do have a boyfriend after all..
I'm going to figure all this out and write a book about it.

One more thing- I watched Coal Miner's Daughter today, best movie ever. I think I am secretly meant to be a honky tonk star. That will get me chicks for sure. wink

Well if you can believe it the saddle creek obsession has actually cooled down from what it once was. After seeing I was close to owning there whole catalog I knew I needed to seek some help. That, and I also frequented their message board my fair share back in the days before I discovered the joys of SG. blush

the sexual politics of meat? Is that just a good read in general or is it specifically a good vegan read like the title suggests? It just caught my eye...

Oh my god. Head over Heels has been playing in my head for weeks! I LOVE that song. You are completely right about the whole femme/butch thing. I'm pretty damn femme, but I like femme chicks. I like to wear the "pants" in the relationship, but all the girls that like me are sooo butch. Where do people that don't fit into the framework fit in? I hope you do write a book about it, so that all the butch girls will be free to have butchies, and the femmes can have femmes, in addition to the current system, and everyone can be happy. Coalminer's Daughter is so sad...all that alcoholism and bittersweet music. It really gives you a whole new respect for the honkey tonk girls of Appalachia and elsewhere, like Dolly Parton, anyone that dated Hank Williams, & the immortal Patsy Cline.
