Clutching at straws

Writer: Amanda RiddellAmanda Riddell

.... what about the Romeo song struck anyone as nostalgic? That was an angry song. Do you think I miss feeling like a freak? At least now that I'm out I'm freaking people out, and that's tons more fun than being some quiet nerdy fairy (even though I'm mostly that). Now that I'm on my own and outside of society, it's quite fun to troll people, but I'm really serious about the cease and desist stuff. That's for my sanity. Michael is dead. Long live Amanda -- and yes, I expect people to face up to their own discomfort and meet me en femme. My cannabis whānau were all good with that, so it behooves my supposedly liberal, supposedly tolerant amici to do the same.
