remember, this isn't my favorite album...

you're Little Plastic Castle: understanding, in
love, funny, developmental, and smart


Which Ani DiFranco album are you?
brought to you by Quizilla


Okay, so I would like to state for the record...Give me s/t, or Imperfectly, or Not So Soft...I mean, this is a good album and all, but I like driven soulful folk music stuff more than the beginning of the kind of meandering-funk Ani music. Still, it's a good quiz...I like it a lot more than the one that told me I'm "to the teeth"; I mean, the character analysis of that one was right on, but I don't like that album nearly as much as even poor Little Plastic Castle.

My noise is running like I'm snorting drugs, and I'm not.

"you're Like I Said: poor, dogmatic, bisexual, and sad"

one of the only i don't own. hmmm.

I think it's just compilations from the first 2 albums. And as someone who actually knows you, I'd revise to be, "Yer like Ani's first 2 albums: sad sometimes, powerful, bisexual, and my favorite."




Oh, bisexuality. I was flipping through some of my bi books today and sorta missed identifying as bi. But I have learned a lot of important stuff from it (about the perils of binaries and monosexuality) and it's not like it's necessarily a closed book...just reminds me how temporary identity really is. Not to get worked up about it. But anyway, it's late and I'm rambling.

oooh bi books. could i borrow some of your favorites sometime?

i am a huge supporter of identity being temporary. if we said it wasn't, we'd be saying people can't change or that they're not allowed to because they've already been labeled. i have changed; i'm proof of the theory.

thinking the other day about the cons of being bisexual. i think one of the biggest is that you cannot continue to be seen as bisexual to people if you're in a long-term relationship. it's assumed you've chosen and you're not *really* the other half of your sexual identity, OR the relationship you're in is not seen as genuine 'cause you're *really* attracted to something else. seems it's worse if you're in a hetero relationship. the judgements seem to be more extreme, and you can be kicked out of your queer community. (standard pop example, but take the backlash towards ani. she's not really straight, she still wants chicks. or, she never was queer and did always prefer guys, that fake.)

it's late and we're playing comment/email tag. things could get ugly.

you took to words right out of my mind...i hate people doubting my biness cause i happen to be with one or the other....i rant in my lj about this often.

oh, and little plastic castle ain't one of my favorites either. the only joys are the fact that my little sisters always wanna listen to the "yeehaw" song on the "fish tape" and we play the beginning over and over and yell yeehaw! and, swan dive is one of my favorite ani songs. it's always been one of the ones i imagine myself preforming. i like to sing it.
