Had To Happen

So, as you'll notice by the time-signature, I'm still up: Insomnia, back in force. Probably PMS-related, since I also feel huge, gross, over-sensitive, crunch-backed and generally roily. Which sort of sucks all 'round, since things were going fairly well today--did 668 words, made a lot of good notes, took Cal out, bought a crap-load of books (under the mistaken impression my tax-money had finally come, but there ya go); hell, I even worked out. But all for naught, as far as I can tell.

Arrrgh. I need sleep. Instead, I guess I'll be reading Rob Thurman's fourth book. That should help.

Stay? Go? Where?

So, yeah...as I notice, the Dreamwidth exodus has finally begun to reach my "pro" friends, starting with Ellen Datlow. Apparently, LJ may well and truly be standing on the brink; sucks, if so. Over at DW, my not-so-secret backup suffers from the fact that I'm a Luddite--so far, I haven't yet been able to figure out how to either automatically transfer over what I post here or cross-post from there (but then again, I don't think I've ever officially posted there, so perhaps that's moot). I keep hearing this stuff is easy to figure out and that that place is easy to navigate; no so much, for me. But like I said, I'm dumb.

California: Right Back Where We Started From

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Some of the worst marriages I've ever been forced to eavesdrop on were between a man and a woman. Some of the best marriages I've ever been lucky enough to get to marvel at have been between two women or two men.

I'm functionally heterosexual (give or take) and married. Got the kid and everything. Gay marriage does not diminish that bond in any quantifiable way, any more than a lack of gay marriage would improve it. Much like the various arguments against marriage between two people of different races, at heart, this seems to be an issue of misunderstanding at best, genuine evil at worst.

My God DAMN, but people can be stupid.
