"The Celluloid Closet" was playing at Queer movie night.
It was a documentary about queer people have been depicted in film through the decades.
In the 20's and 30's, homosexual movies were comedies....to make fun of the stereotypical ways gay people act, dress, etc.
"You're a queer....don't you dare steal my feather boa!"
Then there were movies about the morals of homosexuality. Haha, there was even a movie made about Tarzan's male lover.
In 1934, the Catholic League of Decency made a code called the "Hay's code" which restricted a lot of sexual content and controversial things from being shown on film. Some of them were:
open-mouthed kissing
lustful embracing
white slavery
sex perversion
seduction
prostitution
abortion
nudity
profanity
So films with homosexuality had to go undercover and use a lot of sexual gay induendo. Like two cowboys playing with their pistols, stroking them while smiling at each other and saying "I'll show you my gun, if you show me yours". It was hilarious.
In another movie a servant is washing his master and his master have a conversation like:
"Do you think it's wrong to eat snails but not clams or to have an appetite for both?"
"No. Everyone has a different appetite and different morals"
"Well I like to eat snails and clams..."
And then they get up and go somewhere alone together and the scene ends.
In many movies, gay people became depicted as villains and perverts. Lesbians were always creepy headmistresses or housekeepers after young women. Lol, some of them looked like horror movies that should have had the title "when gay people attack!"
I like when the black crossdresser tells haters off in the movie Car Wash. "I'm more man than you will ever be, and I'm more woman than you will ever get!" Best line ever.
Although old movies are offensive and comical sometimes, I still like them. The lighting in black & white movies is gorgeous and just the look of the old coloured ones.
I want to see Rebel Without a Cause, Calamity Jane, The Children's Hour and Morocco (1930).
Here are some clips of the documentary:
Last night, Kenzie and I smoked pot in our little "stalker" park.
We got baked and then lied down on the docks near Johnston to look at the stars.
You can actually see them in Guelph, and Kenzie was talking about how it's so strange to think that we are only looking at old light and everything that we are seeing is probably not even there anymore. Like the shadow of the universe.
Then we heard this loud rustling sound, which we thought was a squirrel or animal in the bushes
I got up to follow the sound and walked over 15 ft to Johnston building.
There in the corner of a window, a locust was stuck in a spider's web. We aren't sure if it really was a locust, but it looked like one and it was HUGE. We took pictures which I will upload later.
Then we smoked more weed and came back to check on the bug.
It was gone, but the spider was there. It was the size of a small tarantula. It's body was the size of a quarter. Which makes sense, since it takes a spider that big to make a web that will trap a locust.
When we were taking a picture, we noticed a CICADA on the wall. The bug I have in my necklace... the one that lives underground for years and only comes up once.
So yea, that was a trip and a half.
We came back to our dorm and did the Ouija Board.
We called upon Kenzie's mom who died 2 years ago.
Her mom told us she was there but when we asked her questions she didn't want to talk to us. She only answered a few important questions Kenzie had. But other than that, the pointer went to "No" and GOODBYE. She was mad that we had been smoking weed.
There was another spirit in the room, who was male and name started with a "G" .
He said he had a bad connection with us.
He repeated the number 9 over and over again. We though he was either 9 years old or died in September.
He said he died in 2005.
He told us the cure for cancer will be found in 2058
That heaven exists and you can interact with other people there
That heaven is different for everyone.
There is no hell.
That Kenzie and I will be friends after Guelph and that we won't die soon.
He said he wouldn't stay with us while we had a smoke, so he said GOODBYE.
We went to bed.
My neck kills and my classes start tomorrow.
Unfortunately, it seems like the two of us are the black sheep of this rez. We haven't seen anyone else going for smoke breaks or talking about smoking pot. The rest of the girls are preppy or from very small towns. There's probably 4 other girls that we get along with, lesbians and wiccans/pagans.
Guests are not allowed until Sept 7th, which sucks a blue whale's. This also means guests from other rez buildings. I'm going to go insane stuck with these girls.
I can use my ID card to buy anything, but I've been paranoid that I will use up all my money, so I've been only eating cheese sandwiches and drinking grape juice.
We don't have a tv yet. My dad is going to bring one sometime next week.
There was a hypnotist show yesterday, Jeff West. He took people from the crowd and told them to imagine things and then after a while, they would drop on the ground. He made them dance, believe that they were on a hot air balloon, swim, believe there was a bad smell in the air, etc. The people that weren't hypnotized were told to go back to their seats. The others, looked like they were sleep walking when they followed Jeff West's instructions. One girl got up and tried to climb the chair and had to be pulled off it.
There is a pep rally today and BBQ. I don't know if I am going, I'm too tired.
I miss Evan :(

My Golden birthday is coming up next Friday.
"The Golden Birthday only comes once in a person's lifetime, when the person is the same age as their birth day"
Nothing screams golden like the Rainforest Cafe, but then again I'll be spending it with the crew for the first time.
Does this mean my 18th year will mark something special?
Meh.
I love Toots and Maytals:

Finger through the folders - find your name.

You were pretty drunk last night and so was I and yet I think I was also the most sober. I heard of puking on doors and other random acts.

I never feel my own age. I am either a 10 year old kid, awkward and too childish for anyone to listen to me or a 100 year old man with a bad hip who is senile as fuck, gets winded from climbing a set of stairs and is in constant fear of crapping his pants. There is no middle ground. It depends who I'm with, I'll feel one or the other.
I have also concluded that I should be nude more often, for the good of all people and for my good.
