***Harmfulmatter.com is currently jennie
mutation's personal web page for desiminating
subversive anarchist and queer information.
However, plans are in works to convert
Harmfulmatter into the mailorder zine and music
distribution wing of Unbound Books. We plan on
focusing on underground media from perspectives
that are often left out of mainstream dialogue.
We are particularly looking for zines and music
that reflect issues pertaining to people of
color, women, queers, transgendered, people of
size and people with disabilites. However we
will accept submissions from anyone as long as
they are not racist, sexist, homophobic, fat-
phobic, or bigoted in any way.***

(no subject)

When we last left our hero, I was preparing for a holiday party. It went well. I only stressed a little, and although there were many wonderful people who weren't able to make it, the turnout was still high and had much fun. And of course got wicked drunk. And sustained a biting injury on my neck. Even more bizarre is that there's no bruise or welt or teeth mark, but jeezus does it hurt like hell when I touch it. Of course I'm a moron and touching it often. Or maybe I'm just a masochist.

Yesterday I never got dressed. I spent all day in pajama bottoms and watched multiple episodes of Buffy and Star Trek. Damn, I'm a geek.

Favorite moments of Saturday evening include: chatting with Riley in the kitchen while he sliced cucumbers and I made spinach artichoke dip; having storytime in the bedroom with Damon and Riley and Educating Esme (who wrote me a christmas story! And specially designed the book! It's too precious and special for words); drunken touching of people I'd normally be too reserved to fondle; and maybe more but I don't remember, because as I mentioned, I was drunk.

Since so many people were absent (understandably, since it's a busy time with competing parties and obligations), I'm thinking about having another party in the spring rather than waiting for summer. Maybe around the equinox in March. It's a good excuse to clean.

I wanted to sleep in quite badly this morning. Maybe I should haven't stayed up late playing 007 Nightfire on Playstation 2, my holiday gift from Damon. Have I mentioned that he's the best? Because he is. It's Goldeneye again. I love Goldeneye. If I get Grand Theft Auto III, I'll never leave the house.
