Holy Mother of GOD. Has anyone else read this bullshit?

This is Linda Harvey "denouncing" the gay shootings in Tel Aviv. I mean, give me a BREAK. She gives you one or two lines of lip service at the start, the "this was very sad" stuff that everyone has to say, then goes on to spout practically the exact same things that the people who DO this fucked-up shit think. She is using this absolutely horrific tragedy as a platform from which to spout her hate-mongering.

What the hell is WRONG with people?

Ms Harvey, I would like to take this opportunity to hand some of your own advice right back to you: "This kind of bigotry has no place in a civilized society and is wildly irresponsible, unjust and inaccurate." And no, we 'deviant gays' are not the bigoted ones I'm talking about, you prejudiced, hypocritical bitch.

Dude.

Okay, I love Doctor Who. I love Torchwood. I'm also a fan of QaF, UK and US versions alike. I am, and have been for quite some time now, an RTD fangirl. But DUUUUUDE. The words "Smug", "Fucking" and "Bastard" come to mind here.

I mean, it's one thing to kill off Ianto. You can say it's for the story, blah, blah, fine, whatever. I can accept that you killed off Ianto (well, you know, with time). But dude. You do not diss Your Own Fans. That is just NOT COOL. Without fans, you get cancelled. Without fans, you don't get more seasons.

So, you know what, Mr Davies? I AM going to go watch Supernatural. And you know the funny thing about Supernatural? Kripke and Co actually pay ATTENTION to their fans and the feedback they give. They love their fans. They even, on occasion, insert little fan-tributes into the actual episodes ("The Monster at the End of this Book", anyone?). And guess what? Their fanbase gets bigger every single year. So no, Mr Davies, I will not be watching Torchwood series 4, even if it does get renewed. I will be watching the pretty boys on SPN instead, as you so helpfully suggested, because YOUR fanbase just got one person smaller. And not because of you killing of my favourite character or anything whatsoever to do with your writing, but because you obviously don't respect people like me, so that's fine, I don't respect you anymore either.

Also: Fuck You, you sanctimonious, condescending prick.

http://popwatch.ew.com/popwatch/2009/05/new-buffy-movie.html --It's like Hollywood is just TRYING to fail at everything. God. Honestly.

I don't even care if they get God himself to do this movie and it turns out to be the best fucking thing since chocolate or something. The true Buffy people aren't going to watch it. You just don't piss off the Joss-cult (or the Whedon fanbase--whatever you personally call it). They (ie. I) will no doubt boycott this thing on principle alone. Now, I'm not saying that I think Joss should drop everything and go direct this himself or something. He's a busy, brilliant man and he's moving on, which is cool. I mean, if he wasn't moving on from Buffy, we wouldn't have gotten Serenity, Dr. Horrible or Dollhouse, every single one of which was made of pure and utter awesome, as I'm sure Cabin in the Woods will be. He shouldn't be forced to tend to Buffy forever.

But that doesn't mean that I think Hollywood should be taking advantage of the fact that he's done with it (screen-wise, I know that he's still involved with the comics and such) to try and squeeze every last penny they can out of the franchise. That's just proof that Hollywood is made out of even more evil than ever before, the greedy bastards. I sincerely hope that this blows up in their faces.

Huh. Now I want to start an official boycott. With, like, official banners and stuff. Anyone else interested?

EDIT: Also, howdy-do to all my lovely newly-added friends! I know that this isn't a very good first greeting. My apologies.

...because straight and gay people alike are prejudiced against you.

Apparently, it's against human nature or something to be capable of being attracted to both and/or either gender. Straight people (well, the asshole-y ones) hate you because they see you as a lesbian--which, you know, is fine, because whatever, I expected that when I started coming out. What I really didn't see coming at all until after it started happening was that a lot of gay people don't like you either. Apparently, a lot of them don't believe that bisexuals really exist. The reaction I've gotten a lot of (aside from the straight-person-perspective of me being a dirty, greedy deviant who simply can't make her mind, which is a horrible, filthy LIE with no truth in it at all) is the stereotype that:

1) bisexual men are really just guys who can't come to terms with the fact that they're gay.
Now, not being a bisexual man, I can't really give you an opinion or personal experience with this one. I will say that, yes, I have met several people, men and women, who came out as bisexual and then, some time later, said that they actually figured out that they were "all-the-way gay" but were too scared or whatever of deviating too far from the straight lifestyle that they had all been raised to believe they should grow up and create for themselves, so, whether they realized they were doing it or not, they were trying to leave the "straight option" open for themselves. However, I have also had the pleasure of meeting several people (like myself) who identify themselves as bisexual and who were, and continue to be, comfortable being attracted to and involved with people of both sexes. True, I've met fewer bi males than females, but then I also associate with more females on a regular basis just because of my social circles (my job, my univeristy and it's 5:1 female:male ratio, etc).

2) bisexual women are really just straight girls playing around until they find some man to commit to
Again, I can't speak for every girl out there who says that she's bi, and I will admit that I can think of at least one person in my experience who has fallen into this very irritating stereotype. And I really, really do hate this one. I am a bisexual female, but I don't play around and I am certainly not waiting for Prince Charming to come sweep me off me feet so that I can cease to entertain myself with all this homosexual preoccupation that I kept myself entertained with while waiting for him. UGH, no. I mean, yes, I might decide I want to spend my life with a man. But there is just as good a chance (maybe even a very slightly better chance, according to my Kinsey scale score) that I might end up with another woman. Either one is fine with me. I could be equally content with either. And, thank God for being Canadian, I would be just as capable of marrying either. I, and most bisexuals I know, care primarily about that person that I am attracted to, not their gender.

When someone tells me that I'm not really a bisexual because bisexuals don't really exist, it fucking pisses me off. I know nothing I say is going to change their mind, which pisses me off more, but it generally doesn't stop me from ranting about it anyway.

So, yeah. Apologies to anyone reading this who feels like I offended them. It was not my intention. I know that a delightfully large number of people--gay, straight, bi or what-have-you--do believe that bisexuals are out there and this rant wasn't directed at you guys. It was directed at the ignorant. Promise. Ta ta!

So, it's exam week. And I'm on academic probation. And I'm failing more than one of my classes. So, what do I do?

Study, you say? Pffft. Yeah, right.

I inadvertantly went on an Edward Norton kick. I love that man, srsly. I want his adorable, fabulously talented babies. The past couple days have consisted of the purchase and viewing of Primal Fear, Red Dragon, The Incredible Hulk, and Fight Club (*happy sigh* Oh, Fight Club, will you ever stop being so deliciously wonderful?). I ordered, though have not yet received, Death to Smoochy, and realized that I already own The Score, but it's in my brother's possession at the moment, so I didn't get to see either of those. The Illusionist, American History X, and The People Vs. Larry Flynt are next on my list.

It's really very sad how little I care about graduating from university.

I have finished watching FullMetal Alchemist and Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog this week. Both were absolutely and utterly made of awesome. I recommend them highly.

Also, I had my annual assessment done at work today. Apparently, I'm a good, hard-working employee. Which means I now make 35 more cents an hour. Go me!
