But the Podcast Goes On!

"I'm gonna beat your ass at Word Association! I dominate the sport of Word Association!"-KC, mocking Elka for labeling "word association" as a game

"Why did I write seatbelt is up in my arms? ...oh, anus."-KC, clarifying her notes regarding the Paige/Shane sex scene

"It's a cartoon of a cat shitting!"-Elka, articulating the hilarious drawing for the listeners

"I like to dress like a girl and fuck like a man."-Elka, saying a hilariously shocking statement

"I have curly hair that is in a halo around my head."-Elka, defining her Jewfro

"It's like those old Westerns when the guy takes like five minutes to die. He's like [groans], and he falls down and rolls around and climbs back up a poll and then eventually like gets run over by a horse and then dies again a few times."-KC, comparing Sounder's death to the sillyness of Westerns

Snippets

This is from two years ago:

Me: I think I want to slowly become more girly.

Friend: Does this mean no more lightsaber duels?

Me: Oh fuck no! There will always be lightsaber duels. And I'll still watch Batman: The Animated Series

Friend: You rock.

Damn straight.

This is from two days ago (different friend):

Friend: I didn't like American Beauty

Me: Mmmm Wes Bentley. Mmmm Kevin Spacey.

Friend: Hah, you and your old man crushes.

Me: Shut up! Kevin Spacey is attractive!

Friend: I mean, mine are worse...like Anthony Hopkins and Ian McKellan

Me: Well, you better bring your dildo if you want Ian.

Friend: LOL

Me: And lots of lube!

Friend: lol/gross/mmm

Yeah, we're sick.

Gasp!

I literally did gasp when Portia came onto the screen during Nip/Tuck. Julia is in a lesbian relationship?! I knew there would be some lesbian drama going on with Portia on the show, but Julia as a lesbian? I guess it's believable, but I'm guessing Julia is bisexual.

I like how Julia coming out to Sean and Christian ended their obnoxious competitiveness. Christian's perverted reaction was accurate and in character.

I can't say that I find Portia especially attractive, but her character's demeanor is definitely hot. I think Julia is hideous; she looks like a ferret. I have no idea why both Sean and Christian fought over her.

I loved the look on Liz's face when she realized that Julia was dating a woman. I want Liz to find love...or just get laid.

Christian is not as hot as he used to be; he looked ridiculous in those leopard briefs during his photo shoot.

I hope the show does a good and interesting job of exploring Julia's bisexuality. She was a rather boring character before since all she did was get knocked up and whine about not being able to be a doctor.

Ah, the drama. Gotta love it.

"No, I like the taste of blood! Kill! Kill!"-KC, caricaturing the stereotypical war hungry Republicans

"I urinated all over the couch."-Elka, stating her reaction to the fact that they didn't get rid of the Betty intro in season 4

"I wouldn't marry someone who didn't use punctuation."-KC, after reading someone's punctuation-less marriage proposal on the Valentine's Day podcast (I have to agree with her on this point)

"And then Shane vacuums up Mount Everest."-Elka, referring to Shane's massive cocaine use

"You are very voweluptuous."-KC, making a cute pun in reference to Elka's name

"Why are you so obsessed with butt today?"-Elka, asking KC a good question

Let it Out

I'm proud of myself for some things that I did this weekend. I came out of a few different types of closets:

• I finally came out to a friend I had been meaning to come out to for a while. I was waiting for the right time until I threw the notion of "the right time" out the window and just did it. Good friends will listen no matter what the timing is.

• I had a rough time with a few challenging situations, and I (*gasp*) opened up to friends about it. I didn't just bottle it up and let it fester like I usually do. What a concept!

No, I didn't come out completely in the gay way. But I've noticed that I hide the parts of myself that I won't think certain people will want to put up with. I feel like a burden or that my issues don't merit attention. I invalidate my own problems and identity by keeping it in. And isn't that sort of what being in the closet is like?

I'm getting to a point where I just need to be more honest with people even though the consequences of this terrify me. But in the words of Bettina from Six Feet Under, "I think if you're afraid of something? It means you should probably do it."

Come Again?

“I’ve learned that there are straight lesbians, then women who are a little bit of lesbian, then women who are a little bit more. There are various levels."-Pam Grier

I agree that there are levels, but what exactly is a straight lesbian? Isn't that an oxymoron?

And by "Sunday," I mean "Saturday"

• I've been a lot less judgemental of myself in the respects that I outlined in this post.

• I feel like some of the more recent fashions are for either females with really long torsoes or females who want longer shirts to show their hips. I do not fall into either of these categories. I like my hips; I think they are a good size for me. But I don't want to advertise them either. If someone wants to see them, then they'll just have to get permission. This may or may not be a gender-related issue.

• A classmate took notice to my gay man gestures the other day. She didn't use the words "gay man gestures," but she totally teased me and impersonated how I enthusiastically flicked my hands outwards. The worst part is that I flicked my hands outwards when I said the word "fabulous."
