I'm walking into the room, like you walk into my arms. And what would I do without you?

I clicked that what gender is your LJ button and it said that of my words, 50% were masculine, 50% were feminine and that "raybear is probably male." I think that's how I should come out to people.

"Yeah, I'm probably male. The jury's still out on it and research has been inconclusive."

I dreamt last night that I was being mugged, or about to be mugged and I was trying to escape but this guy was pretty intent on getting the job done, even though I was running around my neighborhood calling for help, then made my way to where a Burlesque rehearsal was going on so I darted through the dressing rooms with all these sexy femmes getting dressed and I was somehow convinced this would protect me. I ran past Mistress Minax at one point who was too busy applying makeup to fully drive off the mugger (she just sort of waved her hand and told him to go away), so I kept running and after winding through several rooms I found Lady Lynx who was busy too but more willing to help, except he was nowhere in sight even though I knew he was still in the building. I immediately felt guilty for bringing this creepy guy into a place where he could go after other people, though I knew he was really only after me. The dream ended before I ever fully got away. I think it changed gears to me walking around a different part of the city trying to decide what train to take.

Last night we got a new television gifted to us from mintwaster and cocolola. It has a heavy green tint, but the plus side is that it turns on and off whenever we want and with no waiting. Also, it's big as hell and I'm looking forward to life-size Buffy and life-size Grand Theft Auto. But, when hooking it up last night, I discovered that my little drugstore antenna doesn't seem to help the television get us any UHF stations, so no FOX or WB or WGN or my favorite Korean station with good soap operas that also sometimes shows MTV2. I'm convinced that NX sabotaged the television so I'd be forced to order cable. Or maybe I'll just resubscribe to Netflix, which would be cheaper than cable and since there's no nearby rental store either and winter is just around the corner.

I have other things to write, but I'm currently at this place called a job and they keep bugging me to do things.

Hey. Dirty. Baby I got your antenna.

I was thinking about that, wondering it the slightly more expensive Radio Shack version would work better. It's worth a try. Maybe this weekend we can make the exchange.

wow...a nearly neutral gender rating is pretty cool.

I came across as 54% male...hrm...

where would i find such gender button?

and if you want some protection, call in the femmes... there's a reason they can walk around in dresses and shoes like that.. :)

The gender tool is here: http://hutta.com/lj/gender/
It's sometimes hard to get to work, probably because so many people are clicking it at once.

I love that in my dream my instinct for back up in a physical altercation was femmes and dommes. Cause you're right, they'd be the best.

Your post got me to thinking about gender. I worked with this complete oddball for a year, right after I graduated from college. Yes, he was a transvestite and no, that's not what made him an oddball -- I should write stories about this guy, but being a transvestite was one of his lesser idiosynchrasies. Anyway, one halloween, he really wanted to dress up as a woman and go to work, but he didn't want the whole office to catch onto his transvestisism. So I agreed to go as a man. I thought dressing like a convincing man would give me some sense of fearlessness. I thought I would feel less objectified. Then I realized why I felt more uncomfortable dressed as a man -- I'm five foot three. Short men get zero respect ... I could totally see where short-man syndrome comes from. I don't know why I wrote all that ... seemed like a good idea.

It wasn't a good idea -- it was a great idea. I like when people share random stories, especially those that involve cross-dressing.
