I read Cixous last night before sleep and understood how breaking with language connects to a psychic schiz. She's amazing! The Book of Promethea was recommended to me by the J(e)W of course (and what an inappropriate nickname considering her relationship to Judaism, but anyway) who told me, "It's really poetic and beautiful. You'll love it, Olivia." Along those same lines, she seems amused by the idea of giving me the hard readings now that she knows I read theory for fun. It's okay; I like a challenge (...)
Also, I kinda am in a new queer place where I've realized that I can be attracted to genderqueer straight guys and even the occasional butch straight guy...oh butch iconography, gets me everytime. All this is explaining a lot--like how I can still identify as a dyke rather than bi, how important the term 'queer' can be for me, how if I were to hook up with a guy (trans, nontrans, queer or otherwise) it'd be important that they not read me as a girl...Ahh so much confusing stuff but it's there you find the good meat eh?
