I got the first two seasons of Community for my birthday and OMG I love it so. I'd seen a few sporadic episodes and had started to watch regulary during the last half of the third season, but OMG it's even better when you watch it all from the beginning.

Community is like this fuzzy, warm, amazing blanket that I can wrap myself up in. It brings me happiness and delight. I think the season two Christmas episode might very well be my favorite Christmas episode of any TV show. A lot of my favorite TV shows have done Christmas episodes that I really love but "Abed's Uncontrollable Christmas" captures all of that gooey Christmas nostalgia from my childhood and repackages it for me in an adult-shaped form. So much sappy love, seriously.

I wish season three was out on dvd so I could mainline that too.

In other TV news, summer TV is sad and boring. Actually, that's probably just my ongoing TV ennui talking which, ugh, how pretentious and douchenozzle-y does that sound? TV ennui. I need to get over myself.

I enjoyed the Falling Skies season premiere, though I wish they'd cut some of the sappy family stuff. I am just about over Tom Mason and his blah blah blah blah. He's starting to slide into annoying Mary Sue territory, seriously. But a lot of the other characters are fun and you know I love post-apocalyptic anything. The group as a whole has gotten a lot less stupid since last season, which is to be appluaded. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next.

Let's see... I'm also still enjoying Lost Girl as it airs on SyFy. I'm friendshipping Kenzi and Hale hard. That not's to say I don't still love Kenzi and Bo's relationship, because I do, but Kenzi and Hale are so totally entertaining to watch. I could watch a whole show about Kenzi and Hale having shenanigans. Why isn't there more fic about this? Why isn't there any fic about this? Come on fandom, cater to my whims.

I'm thinking about writing a quick Narnia fic for the solstice. Maybe about Peter? I think this means I have to do quick Wikipedia-style research on summer solstice festivals/ceremonies. Excellent.

June is LGBT Month so it seems like a good time to say this, something I've been thinking about saying for a while.

I'm bisexual.

Okay, wow, I didn't anticipate that there would be knots in my stomach while I typed that phrase. Though I guess I should have, considering all of the introspection and self-realization that came before I allowed myself to realize the truth. But saying this out loud to someone who isn't my closest friend is terrifying.

There is a certain kind of peace in it. I don't have to tie myself in mental knots of rationalization and denial everytime I'm attratcted to a woman, I don't have to pretend away things I think or feel. I feel more like myself, if that makes any sense.

Of course, things aren't all rainbows and unicorns. I'm still Mormon (which, wow, the mess of that issue deserves a whole serious post of its own, or possibly sparkly gifs) and I'm nowhere near ready to come out to any member of my family. But I am ready to say it to all of you.

I'm bisexual. It's kind of awesome. =D
