I adore this entry by liviapenn, particularly the first point, in which she defends fanfiction as "real art." I try to explain this to people and they tend to look at me funny; perhaps I'll refer them to her entry in the future.

In other news, I'm at work and I'm bored. I'm looking forward to the Cleveland convention this weekend. I dyed my hair even more blond last night; I can't figure out if it looks goofy or cool. Last week, I chose my classes for next semester; I'm taking "Film Genres: Children and Other Talking Animals," "Sexual Diversity in Society," "Queer Literature," and "Literary Interpretation." (My concentration is "gender and popular culture"). Next semester will be my senior year; I cannot wait to graduate.

Waaaaah ... I want keep procrastinating, but I really should go work now.

I've been thinking about the food thing. I'm really uncomfortable trying to get other places to accomodate me, for several reasons. First, going vegan was my choice; they are not obligated to accomodate my unusual diet. Second, I get very uncomfortable when people fuss over me; I hate to inconvenience others. Third, I do not trust someone who does not understand and respect veganism to serve food to me; I am very, very uncomfortable eating in non-vegan restaurants. I can't tell you how many times I've been served non-vegan food because they "forgot" or "didn't realize" (and often, it's clear that they simply did not care).

So anyway, instead I'm heading to the grocery store the night before and filling every extra space left in my suitcase with snacks. Dried fruit, nuts, chips, cereal, crackers, cookies, pastries, bread, whatever else looks good. Plus, I suspect that we'll have a hot water source in the hotel (probably a coffee maker), so I can bring anything that just requires hot water: those little "cup of soups," noodle mixes that you just add hot water to, etc.

Not the greatest fun in the world, but it's only three days. I'll come home and make up for it by ordering from Angelica's Kitchen, Cafe Viva, Kate's Corner, the Organic Grill, Madras Cafe, Vegetarian's Paradise, etc, etc, etc for the next week. :)
