and took him shopping afterward. :)
Dear Anti-Fur People: This is a FAN page. If you're not a fan, please go away. Thanks so much. Love, Binky.
Kayso here we are again with Johnny living life nine or ten hours ahead of me which always leaves me feeling slightly disheveled and out of breath, like I'm constantly late for class and also have forgotten the homework.
He arrived in Russia on Wednesday-ish, and will be spending time in Ufa and Salavat in the Republic of Bashkortostan. These are not words I normally type.
Here's a helpful map:
When I was idly trying to avoid finishing my taxes by spending way too much time figuring out how far these places actually are from each other, Google maps responded: "We could not calculate directions between Russian Federation, Moscow; Russian Federation, Bashkortostan, Ufa; Russian Federation, Bashkortostan, Salavat; and Russian Federation, Sankt-Peterburg, St Petersburg."
Oh.
Yeah, me either. That's why I'm asking you.
Dear Anti-Fur People: Homophobic slurs are not helping your cause. Although proper spelling might. Thanks. Love, Binky
Apparently, according to Johnny's tweet in the middle of my night during which he was experiencing what most likely would be described as mid-morning, he's flying from Moscow to Ufa today, then traveling on to Salavat somehow, and then at some point continuing on to perform in St. Petersburg on Tuesday.
And my higher self is really really happy for all the Russian fans, but my other self, which tends to be rather whiny and self-involved but not with my higher self, is mostly just moping and wondering when he'll be back. Yes, I know it's silly and unreasonable. I KNOW. It also makes me a bit snappish.
Dear Anti-Fur People: Oh FFS. Really? Best regards, Binky
So as I was staring disconsolately at my computer which normally makes me feel very connected to the rest of the world but today is just getting on my nerves because other people are trying to use it to connect me to their rabid causes but I am NOT IN THE MOOD and attacking someone I care about is NOT going to get me there, I realized hey, I've got some leftover .gifs lying around! Here's one from Johnny's January appearance on Joy Behar:
From the transcript:
WEIR: Look at that, look at that bump. See that?
BEHAR: I have one too. A bump is a great thing to have
on your nose. It's very Italian.
WEIR: Doesn't it make us more clever?
BEHAR: It does. It makes us brilliant.
Dear Anti-Fur People: I'm guessing you don't have any bumps on your noses. Sincerely, Binky
I hear Johnny is skating again to Dima Bilan's song, "Safety," in St. Petersburg as he did last fall in Fukui. Yes, we have a .gif for that!
Although I also hear that the mind-boggling "Safety" pants shown above did not make the trip with him (Surgeon General's warning: Said pants are not considered medically safe for any viewers who may suffer from certain health issues, including but not limited to having a pulse and functioning eyesight), so he'll be skating to the song in his "Dirty Love" costume. (Same warning applies.)
Dear Anti-Fur People: Seriously? No, I don't want to see posters or videos either. Very truly yours, Binky
Hey, Evgeni Plushenko also is skating in the Jubilee show in St. Petersburg!
(Thank you to whoever made this!)
Dear Anti-Fur People: Look, why don't you make your own fan page: "People Who Are Freaked That Johnny Weir Unashamedly Wears Fur Because He Lives in America, Land of Freedom and Choices"? And you can all be fans on it and leave the rest of us the f*ck alone. I'll just be over here quietly ignoring you. I'm so excited for you to ignore me back. With greatest irritation, Binky
And so, as I sit here grumpy and fidgety and drinking too much coffee and grappling with a headache, but also hoping everything goes well for him and he has safe travels there and back and everywhere in between, and that fans have a truly wonderful time at the show on Tuesday (Really. Both selves agree on that, albeit one of them with just the faintest hint of self-pitying self-absorption), I am happy to say I have found the perfect method of coping with all the inappropriate posts we've had popping up on the FB fan page this week (BTW THANK YOU to the admins who have been so quick to respond to our pleas for help).
Take two of these. Repeat as needed.
