On page 3
So I am up to page three of my essay, which underwent a sea change about 15 minutes ago when I realized I didn't hate the theorist I was reading (Though I still hate his writing style.) - I was just not viewing his work in context - Oh....So it is all about the context.
The essay I am critiquing is about reclaiming queer space and it would read like the most identity politics laden piece of annoying late 90's triteness, save for my brief foray onto the internet (god love the internet) where I found this timeline of 90's queer history.
Go take a look, especially if like me, you've begun to assume that it was always no big deal to be a bit of a fag, or whatever term you like to use to describe your 'outside the realm of hetero-normative' predilections.
Anyways I still haven't cited anyone in my paper so I should go get on that little buckaroo and ride a bit more. God I hate writing papers, why are they hard and blogging is so easy, it's gotta be that text edit window and these tiny little paragraphs..

Sending you some good theorizin' vibes for the end-of-the-semester crunch.
Some advice:
1. putting regular words in quotes does not automatically make you "smarter"
2. "always already" does not mean as much as cultural theorists would like it to
3. Port, champagne, and a room full of dressed-up strangers with funny accents are to be avoided unless one (ie me) is working "North American hours" the next day. Ugh.
