so the roughdraft evaluators wanted to know just what it was about the "politics" of the gay "community" that made me equate their separatism with the Arendtian isolation. also, why i never saw/felt/had the gay "community" as "home" (in the Bernice Johnson Reagon sense of the word). and why i find identity politics okej and lesbian separatism maneuverable but remained scathing toward the gays.

and so i thought about. i binged on memories and purged upon the computer.

and the paper is now 6,000 words over the suggested amount of ~3,500 words. and i'm still not anywhere near done because all the purging was exposition and irrelevant complication.

well, to be fair, it's about bloody time i wrote it all down. i have the feeling i'm going to become the next shulamith firestone... and i really don't think that's appropriate.

time to buy cigarettes and work on swedish final instead.

oh, have just thought of deneument for paper cum dissertation on gay community's separatism as isolation (therefore rendering political action impotent)....

song quotes!

"you know you've done enough when every bone is sore. you know you've prayed enough when you're not asking for anymore. you know you've come to an understanding, when every dream you dreamed has left and you're still standing." --p. griffin

and

"this is how my house moves and breathes and as awkward as it might be... it's my house and i am breathing in its toxicity." --discount

but back to swedish and mentholly au natural fags.
