You know

I love Rachel Maddow, but this is the second time (that I've seen) where her show knocked EuroVision. And it bugs me. I don't what EuroVision or have any love for it (in fact, it always bugs me 'cause it preempts Dr. Who for a week). But, Rachel obviously doesn't watch it either, so... her making fun of it comes of (to me) as a kind of... smug American kind of laughing down her nose at the silly stuff "all those Europeans care about." And maybe that's not the way she means it, and maybe she talks about American Idol the same way (I honestly don't know), but it feels different. I can't explain why.

Also, calling Riverdance "those poor Irish dancers who can't move their arms" kind of ignores that... isn't that how traditional Irish dancing is done? Riverdance didn't invent it, right? So, that's culturally insensitive, too.

Or, maybe I'm just being oversensitive. I am on my period and my cats are crying and growling at each other, so I'm extra irritable.

LLAMAS!!!!!!

OMG, I love Llamas! Not the real things (well, I don't know; never seen a real one) but cartoon ones. And the word llama.

And, I love Star Trek. What could be better than LLamas and Star Trek?

NOTHING!

Thought

Sometimes, in fic (and real media), when someone comes out and their friends start going off with, "How could you not tell me? I'm your best friend? Didn't you trust me?" and it gets dragged out and laid as a guilt trip, I'd like to see the queer character say something like, "Look. It's my sexuality. It's for me to deal with, and I wasn't ready to tell you before. I told you when I was ready and if you can't understand that, that maybe this is big and complicated, maybe you aren't as good a friend as you're professing to be." Except, maybe without so many italics.

Incidentally, this is also how I feel when a public figure states that they are not gay and then people insist that they are. Because, maybe they are (although how would any of us know unless we fucked/were fucked by them) but it's not our sexuality and everyone should get to come out in their own time (if ever, because, dude, it's not our right to know. Unless we're married to them).

So. Maybe I should write that sometime.
