Social Awareness

Isn't it strange how once you become aware of something, it seems to be all around you? Our friends are Derby are organising a Drag Kings float. Now i'm watching the episode of Sex and the City that centres around mixed genders. There's an artist who photographs drag kings and uses Charlotte as one of his models, and being dressed as a man she is more uninhibited than she usually is. At the same time Carrie is dating a younger bisexual guy and she feels weird about it. A few nights ago i watched one of the episodes where Samantha has a girlfriend. I don't know if it's because i seem more aware of it now, or if it's just weird that everywhere i look there seem to be lesbians or bisexuals. Or maybe it's because people are becoming more accepting of it now. Who knows.

I'm finally starting to enjoy being back home. My mum and my brother aren't talking which is a bit weird and they don't seem too bothered about it, but my dad is really stressing about it. And obviously whenever im alone with my dad he complains about my mum and vice versa. They always seem to be arguing when i'm here and my dad told me today that they don't usually argue so much and it only seems to be when im home that they argue. Thanks dad! I know he didn't mean it that way but that's the way it came out. I'm enjoying the heat though, and finally getting some colour, yay! I really do miss J though, and the sex lol.

When I'm bored I..

... Do loads of pointless of quizzes! Usually I'd them on facebook, but today I decided to google some.
First: Which L Word character are you?
I think I did about 3 or 4 of these, just cos I was that bored.
I got 3 Alices and one Dana. Of course, having seen all 6 series of the L Word in about 3 months, I knew how to manipulate the quiz and I wanted to be Alice :). No idea how Dana came about.

Next I took the Which type of lesbian are you?
I did two, and got femme for both, but i was shocked at the fact that there are so many lesbian stereotypes! Apart from the obvious bitch and femme, and hippy, there were lipstick lesbians, tomboy, leather dyke, wiccan lesbian, soccer dyke, goth, country, confused (aka bi), bohemian dyke, magic earring ken dyke (wtf?), vaginal-reference-making dyke, stud, pretty boi dyke, hipster dyke, sprightly elfin femme, granola dyke, little-boy dyke, student dyke and finally the Surprise! dyke. All from two quizzes! Am I just naiive or does this seem a bit much? Even in the straight world there isn't this much stereotyping! I studied stereotyping in a couple of my social psych modules, now i'm beginning to think they leave out one very important aspect of social stereotyping.
