2009 for RaeRae, In A Nutshell, At 4:30 In The Morning.
Candy Canes are tasty. Closing a fast food joint isn’t.
The rest of this post will be manifested using the bulletin/class note system, beginning with the phrase “In the past year I…”
- Had more sexual experience than in the previous combined years of my entire life.
- Watched maybe a combined total of ten hours of TV.
- Watched maybe a combined total of six hundred hours of movies (some of which I slept through).
- Started an amazing relationship, a job in fast food hell, several friendships, and a webshow.
- Broadened my musical horizons, and got a sequined corset thrown at my face during a concert.
- Learned how to alter clothes and not give a fuck what other people think.
- Made two directors cry, one in the happy way, one in the scared, confused, super-sad dramatic way.
- Healed several scars on my soul and strengthened my body in many ways.
- Became a much better cook.
- Read an ass-ton of books and made lots of art.
- Drank beer and smoked cigars.
- Became a fully-functioning, responsible adult with bill-paying and everything, without having to become a boring grown-up.
- Watched way too many women around me become pregnant.
- Figured out the lessons my sleep meanderings (word I use to describe dreams without having to lump them in the same category as lifetime aspirations) were trying to teach me.
- Became much more in tune with my body and my spirit.
- Finally came out as a heterosexual to everyone who thought I was probably at least bisexual.
- Learned how to properly fight social and political crusades.
- Was able to say far too many times “behold, the power of advertising”.
- Learned how to read people and manipulate them without succumbing to the dark side.
- Let my cynical streak out to play and came back with more theories on the selfishness of humanity.
- Grew in leaps and bounds, became that much more into my personhood.
- Was actually called a bitch for once, and the person meant it.
- Became kind of a bitch. But an endearing one, I hope.

So how does one properly fight political & social crusades? Sounds like exciting insight!
And I love that you came out as hetero… had me smiling!
Nice blog!

To properly fight a crusade, you have to learn everything about it, both sides of the issue, so that when you come against naysayers, your argument doesn’t sound like propaganda.
And, I came out heterosexual, as I am a very strong sexual woman, and was often mistaken for a bisexual. To the point where I was getting hit on. Entering a relationship, it became a half-joke to a lot of people to say “You’re with… a man? And he didn’t burst into flames?”. So I had to admit that I was just a very picky, intimidating straight arrow all along.
