Racism, Queerdom, Freakdom

[fenriss]

I was delighted at first to find out that the newest winner of Ru Paul's Drag Race was a Freak.... like me. Sharon Needles looks like me (or at least like I did when I was her age). She wear black lipstick and freaky contacts and used to hang out in punk squats, and I was thrilled.

Then I read thisWell, fuck

This might cheer you up.

(It's ridiculously emotionally manipulative AGT, but still, worked on me.)

Thanks so much, James. That was really wonderful. Yeah, it was a little emotionally pornographic, but I feel it was touching enough that it was worth it!

Disenfrancised

[anonymous]

It is sad too, but I think we all disenfrancised each in our different way. Each wishing we fit in, and never knowing why we don't quite. Maybe becoming mature is coming to grips with the fact that it only matters for each of us to fit for ourselves. We find our friends, our place, maybe that's when we fit. As old as I am I still don't fit as I should but, I have a place that is good for me, family and friends that are good for me. Maybe that is what we all look for and are satisfied with. I think that is happiness in the long run. It doesn't sound as great as "happy ever after" but, I think that is what I have and it's what I have waited for all my life. Family, friends, and the place you are at home. You feel happier, I hope that helps some.

love you
