I feel pretty and witty and gay...
What with June being LGBT month in the US, thanks to Obama (pretty words good, but hopefully he'll actually *do* something soon), and so forth, I thought this video would be a nice tribute. It's clips from the peaceful march in San Diego on 26th of May 09, set to Adam Lambert's 'Mad World'. (Does anyone have an mp3 of that btw? I can suddenly see what all the fuss was about.)
Otherwise I have achieved a MIRACLE in the girls' bedroom (not done, but OMG so much better), since m-i-l was so kind as to let them all sleep over last night giving me lots of time. ALSO, Darcy and I went to the cinema and finally saw Star Trek!!!!! (I have no thoughts. I was never a Trek fan, but it was hugely enjoyable and I'd love to see it again. Will probably end up getting the DVD.)
Oh - and I never mentioned that whilst away last week [in Scotland, staying with s-i-l & her family] we went to the beach & Darcy totally lived up to his name, deciding that he needed a swim, but failed to remove his jeans first... (He did take off his shirt though. Still - very pretty and swoon-worthy, although what I said was : "Why did you do that, you idiot?" Thankfully it was so warm & sunny that he was half-dry by the time we went home...)
ETA: I posted Chapter 12 of My Immortal last week, in case someone missed it?

no subject
*nods* I am extremely grateful that *my* family is - one of my husband's cousins is bringing up her and her ex-girlfriend's little boy (it's more complicated, but essentially he has two mums).
I'm still incoherent and bumbly and jumping up and down, even a few weeks after seeing it,
I think that's a very common reaction! :)
But then I used to be Spock's fangirl when I watched it 15 years ago, so for me it was passion reignited, with all the power of being in fandom behind it. :)
There are Doctor Who icons out there saying 'Sometimes your fandom comes back to life' - I'm waiting for Star Trek ones to appear.
they had some outdated concepts (especially in regards to women)
Interestingly, that was due to the network, and *not* the creator!
It was the grandfather of all fandoms, after all. :)
It was indeed. (And your icon is a lovely illustration of that! *g*)
