soc_puppetI just remembered; the part of the family that we're going to see? The father of the bride, at the very least, is homophobic, and I know he passed it down to his son. I mean, he has reasons, more or less, but they're still kinda sucky in the long run, and it's not going to be comfortable for me to be there. Even if I'm still more or less closeted to the non-nuclear family and such.
I'll be taking Bi Any Other Name with me for courage and self-esteem and whatnot, and have half a mind to buy as much of FAKE as I possibly can at the first bookstore I see. (Admittedly, part of this is because it's an awesome mangaand we just got a Dee at CFUD and now I want Bikky and Carol like burning, but part of it is also in 'silent' protest.) I'm already taking more than a dozen books with me to keep me occupied; this may be bordering on 'overkill'.
On that note, I actaully managed to find a suitcase I liked (it was hiding on a shelf in the laundary room, the sneaky little bugger) and my packing is now about half finished. I hope to be done by eleven, at which point I will sneak my suitcase into the van without anyone the wiser ¦3 (I lie. My parents and brother already know I'm not done packing. But they'll be pleased.)
...Also, I need an icon for these sorts of situations. Possibly even of Renji's hat from the spread in the previous post, which I am already tempted to 'shop a little 'me' onto the bill of. Izumi will probably do in the mean time.
