K gives the best compliments

Amy, I think you're going to like this: my perception of you has been consistently queered all night. Out of the corner of my eye, I keep thinking I'm sitting next to a guy. Why, yes, I've been doing gender in modern asia for a semester, queer is now a verb.

A sentiment I find satisfactory, in a theoretical framework I find pleasing. K warms the cockles of my heart.

[We went to see The Mystery of Edwin Drood tonight. I was wearing my spiffy new shirt from YD - it is a notverymanly man's shirt. My brother has one the same (but in a larger size), and I now have short hair. Also black skinnies wot joel has undergrown and so gave to me.]

Either Rosemary Huisman's article on narrative sociotemporality in Beowulf is one of the most earth-shattering things I've ever read, or I REALLY NEED TO GET A NEW IDEA.

I just tried to explain women's role as weavers of social harmony in Anglo-Saxon language/literature/Rosemary's head in my OLD FRENCH THESIS PROPOSAL. This is relevant. I swear.
