straight girl sleeps, then reads and comments on dyke books

I napped from about 230AM-530AM. Half asleep and half awake. I'd wake up and grumble everytime my mom came in and turned my light out. I'd claim to be awake and in need of the light. It'd go back on, and then I'd shield my eyes from it and snuggle back under my blanket and go right back to sleep.

I finished They Call Me Mad Dog!... it's, um, I don't know. It has funny parts but I don't think I liked it as much as Flaming Iguanas. I liked the idea of it, but Lopez isn't always the best writer, and occasionally I lost her meaning. & there were other parts where I thought she could have stood to be edited (most notably the line about "I asked what are we going to do now and he said nothing. i don't mean he just sat there, he actually said 'nothing'"). But she's always entertaining, at least. My biggest laugh came when she attempted her revenge on Big Bob for stealing her mattress. It's a book that one could probably read in an evening or two; I took four a few days apart because I wasn't dedicated. (I wonder if it's a thing with gen-x urban zine-inspired dyke fiction that most of it disappoints me in terms of textual quality. I liked Sarah Waters' Tipping the Velvet - which is a British historical novel - but Michelle Tea, somewhat similar to Lopez but more confessional and not as funny, is another writer who I think should be edited more heavily than she was in the book of hers that I read.)

I'm still feeling very unwonderful. Fucking relapse. I'm going to load up on the vitamins and go back on my stupid restricted diet now. Well, after I sleep a lot. Not right this second.

So now that I need to sleep, I can't... isn't that typical? And I still feel like pasteurized processed crap.

Sanssouci says you should go HERE. I'm not so sure. You may never see the light of day again. Although it isn't as bad as Bejeweled, because it at least has levels and a finite point at which you are finished. I told Spooble about it on AIM a few minutes ago, and he called me a very bad minx. So revel in the badness. It's not like you aren't already mentally on a holiday break anyway.

I found that if you go to the admin console and type in "friend list" it will show you (among many other useful and interesting things) who is on your friends list, even if they have deleted and are at "inactive" status, so to speak. And I must say that miss Ginamoog needs to come back stat. We have also lost Puissance, artbyair, wayney, windshear, and last but never least miss Lostdream. & a few who killed journals and started them again under different names. I don't like it when ppl delete if they posted fairly actively, because it's like reading a story for ages and then never knowing how it ends. On the other hand, nobody owes anyone else anything here.
