Ahahaha, oh man, I HOPE YOU'RE NOT SUGGESTING FIREFLY ISN'T QUALITY TELEVISION. River owns my soul. I wrote her a little note saying so and everything. (Not really.)
Man, the second book -- I've forgotten the name -- creeped me out so much. I read it when I was twelve or something? And I remember being simultaneously terrified and so in love with Tenar that it wasn't funny. I need to reread those books now.
I love genderbending mostly because I'm fascinated with the ways people do it, whether it's Ryan Ross in his pretty little rose vest or the guy in my drama class who fulfills every stereotype of "drama fag" (as he refers to himself) ever but also gets in a lot of shit quite frequently about wearing bows in his hair or the butch girl who catches my train and smiles at me. And I love that I don't completely understand the term or its limitations and that I don't ever want to, because that would be way too simple. I read one post somewhere that said something along the lines of "(1) sexuality is too complex for any of us to ever understand and (2) thank god for that" and that's still the thing that pops into my head at the thought of it.
"alex's sauce" is because inovertime's brother has an LJ, which we creepily lurk from time to time, and his only interest is "sauce". His name is Alex. We are easily amused.
