Guinness is sick, and I'm not sure with what.
He doesn't eat much, but still enjoys his morning wet meal and treats. He is very lethargic, but still wants to go outside. His eyes are a bit on the gunky side, but not horribly cloudy or anything. And he isn't talking. That's the weirdest part of all. He's usually a very talkative kitty, and the last few days he's only squaked a few very strangled sounding sounds and has had a few wheezing spells.
The vet is closed today, curse them, so I'll have to take him in tomorrow.
But I'm very worried. :( He still wants to play, but he's usually so .. independant and almost arrogant. Now he's just .. tired and lovey.
Does anybody have any idea of what it is, or what I could do for him until tomorrow when the vet opens? |

| Happy 4th of July! What are you eating today? |
[Jul. 4th, 2008|10:28 am] |
Just got up late, but heading out real soon. Skipped breakfast for a change.
Today, I plan to make a glutton of myself. Actually, my whole weekend will be like this so I can spread it around the three-day weekend, but I'm starting the gluttony, today.
I expect the usual 4th of July food plus general summer stuff. At least one hamburger, one hot dog, cole slaw, macaroni salad, fruit salad, green salad, ice cream, pie/cake. Maybe some good BBQ depending on how things go. Beer and soda. Definitely all types of non-traditional stuff, but I'll see how things go. Incidentally, I'm not wearing a new shirt this year, just a comfy, dark shirt so food spills (if any) won't show.
Eventually probably all of this finished off with an antacid (LOL), but definitely looking forward to food (and friends).
Where ever you are today, have a good one! |

Hey everyone
If you're not into fireworks and all that jazz, might I suggest you join me at 9 p.m. at the Pioneer Theater for live music by Grrrl Friend (www.myspace.com/grrrlfriend), followed by the NY premiere of The Gits (www.myspace.com/thegitsmovie), a documentary about the Seattle band of the same name and their lead singer Mia Zapata (and her untimely death in '93 - the victim of a rape/homicide). Afterwards, there will be a Q&A with director Kerri O'Kane and producer Jessica Bender. Only $10 bucks for ALL OF THIS (and $6.50 if you're a student).
To buy a ticket now, go to www.twoboots.com/pioneer
Hope to see you there :)
If you're too busy tonight, the movie is showing there from 7/4 through 7/10! |

http://www.vadercast.com/
"Our first live show on Talkhoe! With things settling down around Fedcon USA, it was important to us here at Vadercast to do a show about how a convention should be run. We have had the best example of how NOT to run a convention come through DFW, now its time to let the pros speak out. We have Mark Walters from Sci-Fi Expo and Dallas ComiCon, Todd Carlton from All-Con, Russ Miller from Fencon, and our own Cole Houston who, along with Catherine, organizes the APOTAC’s Comic Toy and Collectable Swap Meets. All are local to the DFW area and have multiple successful conventions under their belt. For any and all who are looking into or just want to know some of the behind the scenes info about convention organizing, most definitely check out this episode." |

| Reparative Therapist, Zucker, to Speak on GID in Adolescents in London |
[Jul. 4th, 2008|01:03 pm] |
On October 1st, London's Royal Society of Medicine is organising and hosting a one day conference entitled, "Gender Identity Disorder in Adolescents" at its Wimpole Street premises. The day will see many people speak on the topic, mostly from the UK and within the EU, but the opening talk of the first session, "Definition and spectrum of Gender Identity Disorder" is being given by Ken Zucker of the University of Toronto.
For those unfamiliar with him, he is perhaps best known in our community for advocating the use of reparative therapy on gender variant children. He has also been appointed by the American Psychiatric Association to head the task force responsible for updating the section on GID in the DSM-V, an appointment which has caused much controversy in the trans community.
The conference in London features many speakers who are likely to advocate a more sympathetic approach to gender variant children than psychologically abusing them with reparative therapy, but the appointment of Zucker to open the conference suggests that he and his methods are still taken somewhat seriously by those to whom the psychological care of gender variant children is entrusted.

It's been such a long time since I've updated here.
I have finally gotten intimate with someone that has always understood me. I'm in an almost two-month relationship with my best friend, a beautiful girl that I've known for four years. We are both bisexual and very proud. I feel so comfortable around her, and we completely understand each other. We're so honest with each other and our preferences, and we believe that love shouldn't be labeled by gender.
I'm living proof that one can be bisexual and also be in somewhat of a "straight" relationship.
We're really gay though, haha. I mean we go to promotional events and rallies together, and melt when we see any couple gorgeous and happy together. It's just the way we are, and the way we always have been.
We've had experiences with the same sexes, relationships, intimacy, etc.
And I'm not nor have I changed my feelings about my orientation or how I am...unlike others I have seen depending on what kind of relationship they are in.
...Which kind of concerns me because I'm just waiting for my Mother to tell me how happy she is that I've finished my whole "gay phase" and how "I've come to my senses" and have "become straight".
...Because I will be forced to get in another fight with her how I'm a bisexual in a straight relationship. I'm just waiting for it to happen...lol.
I love who I am, I'm an amazing guy that has found love, and I am proud to be bisexual.
...And is wondering:
Is there anyone here that is in a similar type of situation with me? |

| In Syria Gay Iraqis Seek New Life |
[Jul. 4th, 2008|12:25 am] |
Independent Journalists from AliveinBaghdad.org interview Gay Iraqi Refugees living in Syria about why they fled and the abuses they suffered. (The link shows ~5 minute of quicktime video.)
In Syria Gay Iraqis Seek New Life
Damascus, Syria - Maybe one of the of most difficult situations that an Iraqi could be in is to be gay, the Iraqi society in general discriminate against the gay and transsexual people, normally they consider them as people who left their gender and changed for sexual want.
Even though most gay people of Iraq have managed to live their lives, being born gay is almost the same as being born with an assurance of death. Most Iraqis don’t accept that homosexuality is something you’re born with, or which is assigned by your genes. Due to the Iraqi cultural and religious beliefs, homosexuality is forbidden and considered a mortal sin, and in many cases the penalty of death is assigned as the solution for it.
Some of the Iraqi homosexuals used to live in the Karrada neighborhood, practicing there life normally but still in secret. Although before the war as well they could not show that they are gay, due to the risk of being attacked verbally by the neighbors or the people they live with.

Wednesday July 2nd 2008 and UPDATED July 3 2008
When Nick Teich created a free account on the online personals site BisexualDatingNow.com last week, he decided to disclose that he is transgender. Perhaps he shouldn’t have.
"They say, tell us about yourself in your own words. And I stated, ’I’m a 25-year old trans guy living in Boston.’ . . . I didn’t want to mislead anyone looking at my profile, so that’s why I put that," said Teich. Within a day he had received three "smiles," which members send to express their interest in getting to know each other.
Teich thought little of his decision until he wrote to the site’s customer service staff about a problem he was having using the site. He exchanged e-mails with a customer service representative named Kiar Dupuis, and after reading his profile Dupuis informed him that the site does not allow transgender users.
"I am sorry, as a transgender, our site would not meet your needs. I am afraid we have to remove your profile," wrote Dupuis, according to an e-mail provided to Bay Windows by Teich. His profile was deleted shortly after he received the e-mail.

To Bisexual Dating Now and TangoWire:
You've got to be kidding me! Why would you discriminate against a trans person on a bi dating site? Bi people love transgender people and many of us are trans also. What is wrong with you people? I am a bi woman and have dated several bi trans women and genderqueer people. You are offending your customer base. You are part of the LGBT community and you should know better.
Sheela Lambert
Take Action: Please contact Bi Dating Now and their parent company TangoWire and let them know that discrimination against transgender people is not and never has been a part of the Bisexual & Pansexual Community's ethos. Tell them that our community is NOT interested in discriminating and that Bisexual and Pansexual people are perfectly capable of deciding who they are attracted to without a corporate "Big Brother" deciding if it is in our "best interest".
