pigeonholes, needs

Some recent needs

Here's a telling comment from an article linked from andrewsullivan.com:
„Gay community? What¼s that? We are completely across every spectrum. I think we have been forced, by segregation, into narrower experiences.¾
I've said that myself in different ways many times. I believe it's how we end up with Bitter Queens. They sold out to subscribe to a community that wasn't necessarily what they were made of, and in the end, lost who they were beforehand. Sheesh...there was no way jimbo could have ever cast off Dungeons and Dragons and picked up a sense of style. Both are impossible. Better to be a geek wearing both tie-dye and plaid on the same outfit, then to be bitchy, smoking, in a bar, sipping a poorly-mixed Manhattan. I just can't concern myself with looking absolutely perfect 24/7.

On the same vein, I think that's why so many small dogs are insane. Fit a big doggie soul into a tiny foo-foo-tzu body, and you end up with Jason Voorhees of the canine world. Big pegs don't go into small, predefined holes.

And yet, all the other D&D players are always whining about how you look absolutely perfect 24/7...

And does it also explain bitter queens with insane dogs? Perhaps.

Ah, life.
