healingmirthThis should not all be one entry, but I don't have the energy to make separate ones, and I want to get it all said.
1) Dear lazyweb - are there any terms in Great Britain (or anywhere else in English, but not North America) for Bridezilla that are not Bridezilla?
2) The good news from Facebook is that The LXD is now (legally) available internationally, or will be soon. Details are available at [http://thelxd.com/] I think - the distribution methods vary by country.
3) One of my (white, male, but generally awesome) friends just posted that "who do you write like" thing, and I want to say something, but I don't want to get into it. I definitely don't want to get into it on his wall, given some of our mutual friends, but I also don't want to... yeah, whatever. I just don't want to anything.
4) The story of that poor Rutgers kid who killed himself is all over my Facebook wall, was all over the radio tonight, with your typical pop-radio callers calling in to comment on it. I know people have ~opinions~ about Dan Savage, but a couple weeks ago, in response to similarly horrifying news that I have (embarrassingly, I'm sorry) forgotten the details of, he launched the It Gets Better project. I've only watched the video that he and Terry did, so I don't know how it's going, but I hope it helps someone.
5) Hulu and/or dailyshow.com keep showing me ads for It's Kind of a Funny Story and I want it to be awesome. I don't think this is bad news, but it's stuck in the bad news part of my brain, just in case.
6) I don't know if I am equipped to work with high school kids without being... something. Like, this is, on average, a really aggressively conservative upper middle class heteronormative congregation. I don't know if the town used to be more liberal, or if I'm just imagining that. And, like, I am not in any way a raging liberal feminist anything. I can manage to not swear, and I can refrain from glorifying any of the alcohol consumption or premarital sex I may have experienced in my youth, but I am still concerned that my ideas of the freedoms these kids should have - yes, within their Christian identity - are too out there. When I was in high school, we had a youth minister for a year whose contract was not renewed basically because he was gay, not that any of the kids knew that, so far as I have heard. And yes, that was fifteen years ago. I just. Argh.
And now I'm going to drink wine and maybe eat some crackers and watch two weeks of Project Runway.
