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.

Dude. You've just given me the topic for next week's column. What an article. What bugs me, though, is that the two guys who wrote it aren't as anomalous as I'd like them to be. They speak/write for legions who really do believe madness is preferable to a sagging jawline.
