Copernicus Has Got Nothing On Me
I am in my apartment. *pause* *cheers*
Yesterday I meant to post, because it was 23/9, which is 1) the autumn equinox for the hemisphere and 2) "Celebrate Bisexuality Day" which is a slightly awkward name, but whatever. I don't get to celebrate bi often enough to be picky about it. Maybe next year I'll make cupcakes as suggested.
Is it weird that I feel awkward about lists of historical or famous bisexuals? Many of them include citations that make me uncomfortable, historical persons whose sexuality was non-straight, but otherwise ambiguous, or celebrities that recanted (like Bowie) or mentioned bi once and never again. Bi is such traitorous territory, I don't want to be the one who excludes or the one of appropriates, and it makes me feel slightly queasy.
I am so not the person who says, "You never dated a woman, you can't possibly be bi." On the other hand, the bi chic (not bio-chic, as awesome as that might be) is a phenomenon and I feel like there are straight celebrities aiming to exploit the community. Then I worry that I'm being paranoid. Then I worry that I'm being self-hating for thinking I'm paranoid.
Anyway. My internet is working and I have grapefruit juice, although it's not thoroughly chilled yet. Next week I can has geeky SFF panels and lectures on Jewish mythology. Right now I'm keeping cool by soaking my feet in a basin of cold water. Hence this entry's title, I am brilliant etc. etc. It serves a dual function of keeping my feet clean, since the floor here only looks clean, and needs a washing.
