Stayed up waaaaay too late last night chatting with sioniann, xylodemon, shaychana, bloodybrilliant, and fivil. Hoped they wouldn't think I was kind of butting in since sioniann was the only one I actually knew. Can we have regular fandom chats? I love them so.

Stuck it to the man by joining a GLBT-friendly guild. Take that! (Also somehow went up a rank this week, which surprised me, since I did like a third of the honor I gained last week. Too bad the necklace I've got is better than the Senior Sergeant reward.)

Must go to library. Argh, natural light!

ETA: Oh, oh, I wanted to link this article: Beautiful Madness. Nonsensical tripe about a woman who was cured of her schizophrenia, but -- GASP -- gained weight as a side-effect! OH NOES! "The treatment had reversed a Faustian pact in which Nia had been beautiful and mad, and replaced it with another - in which she was fat and sane. But was it really a blessing that Nia seemed to have no conception of what she had lost?"

This would be funny if it weren't sickening. bigfatblog did a post about it; the comments from 'joey' are me.


ETA2: Argh, the CD player I've had since the Precambrian Era just died. If fandom was planning to buy me an iPod, now would be a good time.

I'm amazed by that, in a lumpenly way. I could understand if it were a case of her being massively obese in such a way that her health is effected so she was sick a different way, but basically it seems like he's just disturbed by the fact that this girl, like thousands of other people, doesn't consider being overweight the worse thing that could happen to her.

Not to mention, I suspect that schizophrenia is a much bigger danger to "beauty" than some extra weight. Lumpenly Jeez.

Yeah, you don't even have to be a big proponent of fat acceptance to see that the priorities there are lumpenly fucked up.
