I have your dreams and your teeth marks

raybearI think one of the most hopeful lines in all of pop music is "anybody could be that guy" from ABBA's Dancing Queen.
Today has been a heavy day, at the end of a heavy week, and I spent most all the energy these past days I could spare on propping myself and getting work done. I took on a freelance job that was about twice as much as I'd thought it be, which will be nice when the check comes, but given that I was also busy at my evening job every night this week, it made for a tedious time. Then again, maybe its just as well to have a sad week during periods like this, I mean, why waste a good mood on proofreading and data entry?
But its Friday, and all I have to do is sit in this chair for 2 1/2 hours, then I get to go meet up with people I adore, get a little fcked up, eat some fried food, and sing some karaoke. And I'm wearing my gay Racine t-shirt and linen scarf while doing it.
To reward myself for making it to Friday, I finally bought myself a hard copy of Out Magazine. I went to Books-A-Million, because it is two blocks from my office, and I've always had this vague feeling when going past (or through, though I rarely shop there) that it's some sort of conservative/right-wing owned business, though I have never seen anything to verify that claim. (Then again, I never look very hard, since once I get to the next block, I've usually forgotten the store even existed.) But today I thought maybe I was right, because I couldn't find any gay magazines on their shelf. I finally noticed that Bitch was in the very very back of the Women's Fashion section, so I went over to the Men's Fashion section, and sure enough, stuffed back there, were some gay titles. I grabbed one copy of Tilda and put the two remaining copies promininently on the front row, next to Ryan Seacrest (who Details managed to make him look kinda straight -- how did that happen?)
If you have had similar trouble finding a hard copy, or if you're broke, or lazy, or whatever, you have read my sidebar online now! Go here. (And those are not my abs. I would never wax.)

Date: 2008-03-28 10:47 pm (UTC)1. Do you think mythology can help solve our problems?
2. Do you think it's important (or do we do it involuntarily) to create our own personal mythology?
3. What do you think of the balance between staying true to our own personal mythologies and butting against the sharp curves of other's/reality?
4. What 70s rock star would you makeout with?
Happy Friday!
