Bullet list (while I have a minute)
Oct. 11th, 2010 10:55 am- Survived another get together at Grandpa Geoffroy's yesterday. How on earth I managed to live without monkey bread and meatballs before last month or so escapes me.
- Kids are still around until some undetermined point later on in the day. Really psyched that they both like the whole wheat pancakes so much, quietly despairing cause at the rate they're going, I'm going to have to make more mix. Honestly, that's not that bad, except for the sifting, lol.
- I've established that while I still utterly despise Elmo, the few bits of Sesame Street that do not feature him remain pretty kick ass. (Yes, I've seen Grover's impression of Old Spice Guy. Multiple times.)
- I had a very strong moment of deja vu being silly with Kidzilla around bedtime last night, as we were both flopped over on my bed pretending to be asleep, which meant a lot of loud fake snoring and uncontrollable giggling. Pretty much I got a very strong flashback of doing this with Mom when I was her size and how much fun it was then. I get these flashes more and more spending time with these kids; it's just interesting getting hit with that other-side-of-the-coin perspective of being the grown-up rather than the kid.

smatterknack this weekend, out of which cell23 made some eye-poppingly fantastic potato leek soup the other night. I mean, goddamn. That man needs to stop spoiling me with homemade delicious. - Finished DW: End of Time. A rough, but well played end to Ten(nant)'s reign indeed. And now I'm pretty comfortably Doctor Who'ed out until the Christmas special this year, which going by the BBC fall preview, looks like it will involve nazis.
- no huge plans today, other than a massive work/life/project/cleaning catch up after the kids go home. Okay I guess that counts as a huge plan. :/ Been pretty thinkalicious lately, so I'm sure some omphaloskepsis is in order as well, above and beyond whatever headnoise I've already sat down and processed.
- Oh yeah, TJ released 2 new dragons for 10-10-10 yesterday, so:
Already incubated them, cause I want to make sure my scroll's clear for the inevitable Halloween eggs, not to mention see if I can snag some previous year ones off the AP as I pretty consistently missed the holiday releases. *sigh* - OH YEAH. Halloween. Damn, I have to assemble my costume at some point. :P

Alas, both of my gay icons are unavailable due to LJ account fail, but today is Coming Out Day.
ETA: Icon change brought to you byhead58!!!!
I laundry listed the ways in which I am out last year; they all still apply. Especially the "Out" one. In light of all the publicity surrounding kids struggling so hard with their identities that they are committing suicide over it, I am doubly thankful that there have only been brief periods in my life where I've ever felt the need to closet myself, and of those periods only a few times have I done so out of self-preservation rather than to protect someone else. My personal struggles with myself have never been over who I am, which, sadly, is not an experience everyone has.
I plan on participating in Spirit Day later on this month. I also support the "It Gets Better" and other project aimed at supporting GLBT youth during their adolescence, which I think everyone can agree is a sucktastic and confusing time of life, especially if you are coping with constant attacks on who you are and who you feel you need to be. But mostly, I live as openly and honestly as I possibly can, both for my own personal happiness, but also with the knowledge that there are still so many people out there who cannot safely do so.
