I can't sleep, again; this sucks. I read some more Labyrinth of Evil; more continuity goodness; I'm loving this book.

I just remembered something Mollie told me on the way to see Beauty & The Beast Tuesday night. She told me she saw an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation that she had never seen before. Mollie doesn't actually like Trek, though she loves DS9 because the writing is so much better than the average Trek. Anyways, she caught the 5th Season episode "The Outcast" which is really the only Next Gen episode to deal with sexual orientation; and I told her that the original airing of the episode had a profound effect on me; it is not a happy episode, and it aired on March 16, 1992. I know it aired that night, because 2 nights later I slashed my wrists and ended up in a hospital. Mollie had a different sort of problem with the episode; she said that the genderless aliens in the episode, the J'naii (who were actually played by women) reminded her of Kevin Clark, and she had to turn it off. She said that they all sounded, and looked a bit like him, and that the episode was making her sad and she couldn't figure out why, and that it just hit her and she just had to shut it off. It's a great episode really...but it's not fun; even without the KC reminders.

Why can't I sleep? Roar. My eyes hurt. I'm a little thirsty, maybe I should drink some water. hmmm.
