Dice and Dinner Jacket

1) Post a list of up to 20 books/movies/anime/TV shows/video game that you've had an obsessive fannish love or interest in at some time in your life.
2) Have your f-list guess your favourite character/member from each item.
3) When someone guesses correctly, strike through the item and put the name of your favorite character next to it.

( 1, 4, and 7 should be blindingly obvious )

Words can't describe the disgust I feel over the Question 1 results in Maine. Congrats, bigots. You have now spread misery needlessly. What good will come of that I ask?

Despite how opinionated I am about my political views, and the fact that I've gotten into heated shouting matches with friends who are on the opposite end of the isle, I've never ended a friendship over differing views. This includes "hot-button" issues with me such as civil liberties, gay rights, and the death penalty.

It is conceivable that I would do so, however, with someone of Neo-Nazi viewpoints. But given that biphobia is part of the ideology, it is doubtful that anyone that right wing would want to be around me.

I won't be silent about what I am, and I never liked the idea of being in the closet (it is hard to get interwebs in the closet anyway.)

It's Celebrate Bisexuality Day.

I was told by my ex-wife today that she couldn't have designed a better ex-husband than me. Wow.

I would cry. Why? Because I'm trying to GAIN weight. This question is just another example of denial of the endomorphic body type and I'm REALLY tired of it.

lol @ the fangirl on tonight's ep of Supernatural.

Um... nervous. I suppose you want me to answer what color George Washington's white horse was next.

Scale says ~121 lbs. I think I'll be depressed now. It may have been a while since I checked, but I was hoping to see a slightly higher number than that.

Edit- Before anyone asks, because someone always says something like "Aren't you eating enough?" or something to that respect... Yes I eat. I don't have an eating disorder. And yes I'm active. I just have trouble gaining weight, both in body fat and muscle mass. It's pissy.

No surprises here...

Thus far, nobody who voted in my poll thinks that government officials are more trustworthy than sex workers. Despite my small sample size, this leads me to one of three conclusions:

• There is massive cynicism on my flist and no love for government officials.
  
• There is a great amount of trust for sex workers on my flist, perhaps with use of services provided.
  
• Some of the members of my flist may secretly be, in fact, sex workers. If this is the case, then this might bias my already unscientific poll.
  

Given a recent poll in China that shows the respondants found sex workers more trustworthy than their government, I wanted to do an unscientific poll of my readers:

Poll #1439831
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 11

Who is more trustworthy?

Sarah Palin denies divorce rumor

Some of me almost thinks that this rumor was perpetuated herself to keep herself in the spotlight and make the mainstream media look like rags. Still, this one will be fun to watch... *munches popcorn*

Rev. Pat Robertson admits a long term affair... with a lamb.

So these two guys came to the door asking for Spanish speaking people. Given that I really don't have any friends in the complex (although all are pretty friendly), I told them that I didn't know which of them spoke Spanish. He then told me that he was looking for Spanish speaking people to encourage them to read the Bible.

I guess this means the Bible was never translated into English. *snicker*

I mention the 80s Cartoon Jem (Complete with saying, "It's showtime Synergy!") and immediately Jan wants to play Final Fantasy X-2 again, an rpg in which the main character's primary powers are changing clothes. I'm amused.

Apparently it is unusual that I can name all nine justices on the Supreme Court, who appointed them, and which way they lean. Just read that less than half of the people could even say how many justices we have.

Worse, just a little over half could name a single case that the court has heard, and mostly because of Roe v. Wade (which is not a means of crossing the SF Bay).

To say that I find this disappointing is an understatement. You would think that people would want to know who has a third of governmental power, only divided among nine people, appointed for life would be. (Awkward way of saying that, but I think you get the drift.)

*Hits people over the head for not paying attention in their HS polisci courses*

I had originally stated that I wanted to yo-yo to Tchaikovsky's Arabian Dance. Unfortunately, it looks like I had my pieces confused. This requires investigation.

Does anyone know the 1977 Mikhail Baryshnikov version of the Nutcracker? In that version, there was a dance that the "Moor" clockwork doll did. That is the piece I'm looking for. If not, then I need to find something else to yo-yo to.

Hold. I'm on LIVEJOURNAL. If you've been on LJ for a while, you'll have at least come across some post that was posted as viewable that the poster forgot to lock. It happens. The same thing happens when emails, IMs, and journals are left out in the open for accidental glances. There is really no way to avoid it.
