I spend a lot of time on this site. I mean, a LOT. One thing I do from time to time is click through the names of active users to check out their profile pages and see what stories they have marked as favorites. I like the idea of going to the page of an author I enjoy and seeing what stories they recommend or are inspired by. Unfortunately, not many people use this feature of the site, one of my favorites.

Well, they've done it again! Just been watching several episodes of "Josou paradise", a Japanese show which literally translates as "Like a girl paradise", which seems to be a TV show where they set up on stage in various girl's schools and give boys the full girl makeover treatment. Bloody bonkers...

Anyhow it can be seen here :> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjdPe8kuRxQ&feature=related

It turns out that snails, often confused with toads, are also well in advance in many scientific and social science explorations*, are prone to form male/male romantic attachments in which one partner eventually changes sex so they can settle down into normal married life with children.

I really shouldn't be posting right now. I'm getting a head cold - at least I hope it's just a cold - and it's ridiculously late, but I've been putting off a "I'm okay" type thing too long.

I'm going to be away from saturday for a week. I will have my netbook with me, so might have time to do some more episodes of Bike - assuming people are actually reading them.

Ok, no comments from the peanut gallery on that one!

In an IRL conversation and then in another with Sarah Lynn Morgan, I got to thinking about names, and how important it is to a person to be called by a name they've internalized. From the time most people are little, they hear their name again and again. It becomes >their< word, a very personal, emotional thing. If there is a negative feeling associated with that name (as may be the case when one has massive problems with their gender, and their name is very gender-bound to the painful gender) then the name becomes painful to hear.
