All the excitement over the trip, and I nearly forgot to post the best part!

Now, during RAG party Tens had drawn various panties and penises, and I took home with me Setsuna's, and put them right on the top of the suitcase so they would be the first things the people would see if I ended up getting my stuff searched.

So, naturally, my stuff got searched.

The lady who did it was awesome; she opened up the suitcase and just paused for a second, and said, "huh", and then kept up searching for whatever it was the x-ray people thought justified additional search.

I suspected that my vibes were the thing in question, and was right: when she found them, she went "ahh", and got out one of those little test strips and rubbed it all over them. (I was suddenly very glad I'd cleaned them thoroughly before I left.) She finished rubbing the vibes down and stuck the slip in the slot and the little machine read it, and it blinked green at first, but then it started flashing red: EXPLOSIVES DETECTED.

Yep. That's right. My vibes? Fucking explosive. You'd better believe that shit. :D

In the end, all I got was a pat-down and when that came up clean they let me through. I will say this: LAX is the most security-intensive airport that I've been in so far. I was tempted to ask the guy at the gate who searched my stuff again (random search lollll) "did you find my explosive vibrators yet?" but I didn't because I didn't feel like going through another pat-down.

Dear Single Women of NYC: It's Not Them, It's You is a completely awesome article. I've read it twice over, and I agree with it completely. It is applicable to women everywhere, so don't think it doesn't apply to you if you don't live in NYC.

The article makes three points that really made me sit up and pay attention, though. The first is that if women want equality (and I think most women do) they can't skip out on taking half of the blame when relationships fall apart. They can't say things like "it was him, not you" or "men are jerks" or whatever else, if they want to follow the belief that men and women are truly equal, because that's foisting off the responsibility and doing that is no help at all with the equality issue.

The second point the article makes is that "settling" is not a bad thing. Mr Right may or may not exist, and Mr Good Enough is right in front of you, so if you want a marriage or a child or whatever else badly enough there's no reason not to settle. A lot of people have a visceral reaction to the idea of settling down, and I think that is kind of silly because there's no shame in making a decision.

Which leads us into the third point: if you're going to enter into a long-term relationship, you need to know what you want from it. Your goal is that 2.5 kids and a dog? Fine, go for it. Your goal is to have someone to call your husband/wife? Also fine.

Going into relationships not having a goal is-- well, it's destructive to the relationship, for one. You're undermining it from the start, not knowing what you want, because if you don't know what you want it's impossible for the other person to provide that.

This is a lesson that I'm only just recently learning! I feel like I should have thought of it sooner, but honestly-- it's a new realization, and this recent relationship with

tensergorn is the only one I've entered into knowing exactly what I want.

I want a best friend that I can share everything, everything with; I want someone who tries to understand me; I want someone who makes communication a priority; above all, I want someone who I can love and who loves me, and have both of us accept that love/caring. Eventually, I want kids, but that's a less pressing desire than all the rest. I don't have to do it now, now, now, but the rest-- they're very important things to me.

I seem to recall having a discussion with her at some point-- possibly before we started dating, when we were still at the flirting heavily stage-- about some aspects of these things, and thinking that the results were satisfactory.

I'm not quite sure where else I'm going with this, but I mostly just wanted to link the article and say, look, look! Someone who's gotten it right!

I really hope the article gets more exposure than it has so far; it deserves it.

Never go on a trip and think, "Oh, I'll keep up with online things, no problem at all!" because boy, will you fail. Or I will fail, anyway. Which is what happened. I've spent the past week trying to just re-adjust and let me tell you: it's not easy.

Anyway, so, the trip. This is totally long and I am absolutely unapologetic about it; I'm not going to cut.

On Los Angeles, the city itself: I really enjoyed what of it I got to see; it seems like a good combination between Atlanta and Boston. I do want to try a trip where I spend more time in the city (rather than at home watching anime and having sex) but that will have to wait until later this year or next year because I'm not going to be moving until March 2012 at the earliest. This is very saddening, but it's the best decision for my mental health to take things slow.

On my girlfriend: Both her and I were super nervous about meeting IRL. I think we knew we had no cause for the nerves, but they were there nonetheless and I think when I got off the plane I was practically buzzing I was so keyed up. And then I saw her and ffff. I don't even know, my first thought was: she's so lanky. Second thought: nipples. (Yep.)

Anyway, things went just fine in that regard. We have great chemistry, we get along great IRL too, she's a good kisser, and even if I can't manually get her off myself I know how to help her to get herself off which is nearly as good.

( Probably TMI )

On RAG Party (aka my birthday): SO MUCH FUN WAS HAD. Penis identification, panties, prompt game, drinking, reading snippets-- oh man, it was just... it was so awesome. I think next time Tens just needs to pace herself a little better and not get blackout-drunk before it's even midnight! I wish that I had gotten to see more of the party, but I was mostly interested in making sure that Tens was okay and after that I was interested in making sure I got to make out with

eeveil.

I got to have tea at the ~~maid cafe~~ Royal/T with Saji, too, and that was actually very enjoyable! Saji is a cool person, and I look forward to getting to know her better when I move to LA.

On Oregon/Visiting my dad: I had thought this lately when talking with him on the phone, but in person it was really obvious-- my dad has found his place. He's happy where he is; he's happy to just be there. He's finally acting more like an adult than a child, which is probably a fucking huge step for him.

I visited Crater Lake and the Southern Oregon coastline and Ashland while I was with him, and it was fun, but it all confirmed the fact that I really had no interest at all in actually living there. It's the very definition of bumfuck nowhere, and... yeah.

And now I'm back home and doing my best to deal with adjusting to life not-on-vacation. It's going kind of slowly, but I think I'll lick it in the end.

I saw

megyal's "Year in Fandom" review of all the stuff she'd written, and decided I wanted to do my own little review as well :D

I think the biggest lesson I learned (and really internalized) in 2010 was the whole idea of showing and not telling. I'd sort of been, yeah okay whatever, show don't tell, but I'd never really internalized the lesson in a way that made me start writing like that.

I think part of it is because I was so heavily involved in fandom (ie,

rent_a_gundam) and in fandom you don't really get to show-not-tell because people already know about the characters for the most part.

So 2010 was a year of discovery! Discovering my own characters, and my ability to write a cohesive, coherent story. And my ability to write a long story, too.

( Fic-wise for 2010! With comments. )

All together, it's about 158k worth of writing posted on the internet. Plus all the stuff I did for publication, which equals about ... holy fuck, 116k. Hoshit. And here I'd felt like I hadn't written that much! 274k @___@

Quite happy for two reasons!

First and foremost is my girlfriend, the beautiful and wonderful

tensergorn. I made her a corny mix CD and had so much fun doing it that I think I'm going to make another just because I can.

Butbutbut the reason I'm so happy is that she called me. It seems like such a little thing, but for various reasons it just ends up never happening. But she did, she called me, and I felt like squeeing gleefully or something. Even just remembering it I feel all breathlessly happy, heh.

We talked for like half an hour, too, which-- okay, I have to explain first: my normal threshold for phone conversations is about twenty minutes. After that I start thinking, is it done yet? Can I hang up? but-- but it's never been like that with Tens; I could talk with her for hours about absolutely nothing and still feel deprived when it comes time to hang up.

I had thought, well, maybe it's just because we voice chat and not on the actual phone but, nope, it was just the same on the phone. When she had to go, I felt very aw, already? and was surprised at how long we'd talked, because it had barely felt like ten minutes.

So, yeah, happy about that.

The other thing is RAG. Typo and Veda and I all wrote pieces, and it's felt good to post them. Like, it's not over after all; we still got it! A good feeling.

Thus, I am thankful for

tensergorn, for Typo and Veda, for my family, and for my friends.

But most of all for the bits of sanity that I've managed to win back over the past year of what has felt a lot like trench warfare. The ground was hard-won, but hopefully that means I'll not give it over so easily when insanity threatens me next time.

Dear Author Who Shall Remain Nameless,

If you make your custom journal pages have size six dark grey serif font on a light grey background, I would go blind if I were to try reading your story. Therefore, I'm skipping it.

Try making your journal legible next time.

On my way to a write-in yesterday, I had some guy hitting on me on MARTA. I told him, I'm not into guys, because I didn't feel like dealing with his advances. He backed off for a minute or so, and talked to his friends, and then he started talking to me again, about how big his dick was and how there's nothing like a black dick, dicks are so awesome, etc.

So I looked at him and said, "If dicks are so awesome, why don't you try them?"

He stopped for a minute, and then kind of heh-heh'd uncomfortably. "Why would I wanna try dicks? I ain't gay."

"Because they're awesome. You're sitting here telling me that, but clearly you don't believe it or you'd be gay."

And he laughed, shaking his head. "Man, I ain't had anybody question me like this before! You somethin else, girl. Gimmie your number."

So of course I refused, and he started in on about how awesome dicks were, etc etc. This time I tried a different angle, "Man, you know, I'm just like you: I don't want any dicks. Can't you understand that?"

He paused, looking a bit like a fish out of water. "Naw, girl, you'd like black dick. It's the best."

I just stared at him, not saying anything, and he starts laughing uncomfortably again. "Oh, right, I guess I should try it before I say that..."

I lol'd. And then the rest of the ride to the write-in, I thought about something he'd said: nobody had ever questioned him before. Our society is so homophobic that they can't look at a guy talking about how awesome cock is and say, "why don't you try it?"

It's kind of amazing, really.

Drag show tonightttt. My first ever. As one of the queens we talked to later said, "Honey, you just got your cherry popped by twenty drag queens. That's what we call a gang bang."

Though that's not quite right, because there were 17 queens and 3 kings (!!!) so... Yeah, it was fucking awesome.

And the dancing after the drag show was fucking awesome, too! Like last night (which was better than it was at My Sister's Room) x5 or something, heh. I always end up so fucking sweaty but I don't care because I'm having fun so :D :D :D yeeeeeah

Okay I'm still a little tipsy I think. Not drunk, because I'm not making many typos, but I without a doubt got myself a good little buzz going on.

I also tried my first Loko tonight. It's an energy drink that's 12% alcohol, only the alcohol in it must be at least halfway good shit because it didn't make me sick! I mean, I only drank half of one, but usually cheap alcohol makes me yak no matter how much or little I have. (One of the lessons I learned partying with Anons back in Boston.)

Speaking of Anons, I totally skipped out on the protest today. I was exhausted from dancing+lack of sleep and I stayed home to write and nap instead. I regret nothing.

Actually, I think I regret that I didn't write more. I'm back up to being almost 5k behind on NaNo =/

But the drag show? Worth it. Totally. I keep having these OMG HUGE events being my first things (my first time dancing was at the Peach party, which was omg huge and according to Emily the best dancing she's ever had, and she's been to a billion clubs) and I'm probably going to end up spoiled by it sooner or later! Ah well, I still foresee this happening most weekends.

narroch and I found a really cool club last night! It's called the Jungle, and it's both gay and for people our age. And they really played a wide variety of music, too, which made me quite happy.

We're probably going back again tonight, because the host told us that there will be all kinds of entertainers from all over the city there + no cover charge. Whee!

As a sort of aside, I'd never gone really out dancing before the Peach party at Pride this year, and it's just... I love it. All those cliches that people write about-- it's just so fucking true, in a lot of ways, and it makes me want to write it but I really oughtn't because it's soooo over done. Maybe I'll find some way to write it at a later point, that makes it less cliché.

And I just have so much goddamn energy when I dance, too. So, so, so much fun!

2) Starting to really arrange things for the trip to LA in January. I'll be there for my birthday, and

tensergorn is going to throw me a RAG birthday party, since there are a good many RAG readers in the LA area. We've been having tons of fun coming up with RAG-related party games :3

3) Soooo behind with NaNo. But I'll catch up, it's just that I've been Doing Stuff so, yeah. I guess a bit of being behindness is allowed in that case, heh.

4) Been on a Vocaloid binge lately. Anyone have any Kagamine-centric recs? I'll take other recs too, but so far I really like Kagamine voices best.

Also, I discovered this the other day and am fucking amazed. I mean, that sort of thing isn't without precedent-- look at Gorillaz-- but look! 3D! And it actually looks real! And the animation is absolutely stellar! It's just so neat to me.

Trick or treat?

1!! Create a graphic (200 x 200 max size) to represent your personal "candy". It should have your username on it, but otherwise can feature whatever you want. Make it something special since it's self-representative.

2!! Make a post with the subject "trick or treat?". Put your "candy" somewhere in it, and be sure to repost these instructions.

3!! Then, go around other people's LJs and reply to them with either "trick" or "treat". If you reply with "trick", they will give you an LJ dare that you have to perform before taking their candy. If you're too wimpy for that, simply say "treat" and take their candy.

4!! List all your collected candies in your original "trick or treat?" post to show off your collection.

( NSFW/SFW candy )

Though I think the first is not safe for brain and the second is just NSFW. (Courtesy of

rubyofkukundu, btw. From Regene's April fools post at RAG. It was that or Al getting fucked by the big bunny-thing.)

So, BRING IT, GUYS.
