Oh, Mother....

My mother says the funniest things, sometimes. Or rather, she means to say something else, and says another, which comes out in such a way that I am falling out of my chair with laughter.

For instance: Mom is watching TV, and the heroine is getting a verbal ass-whooping from the she-villain, who has, I admit, pretty interesting eyebrows. As I pass by, I comment, "Poor girl." Mom says blithely, "Oh, don't worry, nobody with eyebrows like that ever gets their way in the end." What does this mean?
Another instance: Mom is (again) watching TV, and Pamela Anderson is jiggling her breasts at the screen while a hapless swimmer is screaming as a shark devours him. "How horrifying!" I say. "Well, it's entertainment," Mom says. I run off, completely terrified by the idea that my mother is a closet sadist.

And now, I am reading Harry Potter "Luke, I am your father" knockoffs and amusing myself with skanky bathing apparel on Gaia. Oh, and drinking (decaf, to my dismay) coffee.

Yus.

The Pants of Duo Maxwell

It's been a while, hasn't it? Well, it's summer now, and I'm ridiculously bored with myself. I spend hours drawing and reading. And sleeping, too, though I've been doing a lot less of that lately. And do you have any idea how much coffee I've consumed this month? Lord.

Anyways, about the pants. For comic-con, I've decided to do a cosplay that has been begging to be done for forever. I mean, just look at me: heart shaped face, long brown hair, deep, butch-y voice... okay, so maybe it's not that deep. But what I'm trying to say is, I'm going to go as Duo Maxwell from Gundam W for comic-con. Purple contacts and everything. Really!

Stacey-- Nikki told me a little while ago that you had wanted to do this cosplay, too.. so now I feel bad. But you know, you could always go as 'Duo Maxwell's fag-hag! That's right, ladies and gentlemen, I'm dressing up as a GAY BOY. How fun!

So, I bought the pants for this costume the other day. I was trying on men's clothing and Kerry popped into my brain. (You remember, Kerry, when you, John and I went and tried on men's clothing together at Macy's? That was when John got his green lantern shirt.)
Anyways, I love these pants. They fit so much better than girls' pants do! Loose in the leg, and they actually fit on my hips--no joke!! Besides that, I feel empowered in these pants. I could pilot a Gundam in these pants. A Death Gundam, even! I could even take the mickey out of Heero Yuy and not piss my pants when he decides to string me up by the balls (figuratively, of course). Ahem.

In short (not) I have decided to try on men's clothing more often. Man, I love these pants.
