This is the workplace that used to have posters encouraging workers to come out of the closet.

OK-- that might make me uncomfortable.

(slight X-post with Bitches)

I have had the flu for a week. I haven't been on the internet for most of that week, and I just opened my inbox (SCREAMS WITH HORROR, albeit weakly, since I still feel like hammered shit.)

If I hadn't started feeling better (Took a shower! Ate some egg drop soup with actual hunger! Didn't puke! No fever! Am drinking ACTUAL COFFEE for first time in 5 days!) I would simply go back to bed with depression.

Also, I see from my in-box I have woefully neglected some Buffistas. I'm sorry; I was kinda, almost dead. I will be replying this afternoon, as I frantically complete a copyedit job due today that I only had the first 10 pages done before the Flue of Doom hit me and Dan.

Heh. "Flue of Doom."

Interesting visual. I meant "Flu of Doom."

Hey! My sense of humor is back! Imma gonna LIVE!

I missed about 8 zillion posts. I hope everything is OK with all ma Buffistas.

Wow. As a gay, I would feel very weird about posters encouraging me to come out. I mean, wtf?

on the other band, if I am out I don't want to have to come out to each individual person, so unless I'm all "I'll tell YOU but it's a secret!!", I don't mind and almost want others to spread the word.

Okay, I have a question. Did everyone else know that Jennifer Garner had a kid 3 years ago? Seraphina? [link] I realize my life has been super busy but I totally missed it. Also, cute kid.

Yep. Isn't the upcoming production a boy?

Seriously! It was way weird. I mean, it's not like we have a QUILTBAG group or anything (which would also be highly weird).

But the posters were all about how much easier life is if you're out, so please care and share. Creepy.

TELL ME WHO YOU ARE AND/OR WOULD LIKE TO BE DATING AND/OR SLEEPING WITH!! DOOOO IT!!!

TOM HARDY!

What?

In news apropos of nothing, putting a peel off coupon on the first paper towel in the roll would be more helpful if, you know, my hands weren't wet at the time and unable to handle an unanticipated slippery piece of plastic on my (recycled!) paper towels.

I have just been informed that you *don't* need to use FB or Twitter to sign up for Gawker sites, contradictory to what the screen implies. If you click two levels deeper it will tell you that you can register with an email address, but recommends you use one without your real name in it if you want to be anon, since it will be fixed in your profile forever (you can change your username, but the URL to your profile will always contain the first one).

Who the fuck goes two clicks deep just to read up on registering to comment on a site? Seriously.

That's almost as irritating as all those sites that enforce you using some sort of common pre-existing ID to comment.

Can we hug after? I want there to be hugs.

OK, so Liese is presenting as straight and ita ! is a risk for sexual harassment. Check.

I've had 2 sexy dreams lately about Benedict Cumberbatch, so I think my subconscious self would pick him. My conscious self understands the attraction, but at the same time is saying, "Him? Really?"
