This is not planned as part III to "boring and random stuff about me", these are questions I often wonder about, some are meant rhetorical, some are real questions.
- Why do so many lesbian authors choose androgynous names for their characters? Or "male" nicknames? And why do they often pair blondes and brunettes? I can't believe that so much of lesbian fiction is alt- or uber Xena-fiction. (really don't know the difference between alt and uber, yet I'm sure that this is not fanfiction)
- Is there really no base-line below which political elections will be cancelled? I can't believe that elections with 30% of attendance can still be valid. Sure, people who stayed at home will have to live with this, but still….
- What is the point of having a non-smoking policy on trains but not at the stations?
- If I stopped thinking for others for an entire day, e.g. on the road or avoiding run in with those little monsters at the supermarket, will I still be alive in the evening?
- Why are most current lesbian plots on TV spoiled by one of them being pregnant, some sooner, some later?
- E-books prices don't differ as much as I expected from "real" books. I hope that authors get a bigger deal from e-books as production costs are extremely lower.
- I'm beginning to like facebook's "pick your 5" and wonder if there's a possibility to cross post them to my blog.
- Dita von Teese is supporting the German Act at the Eurovision Song Contest? Seriously? I'm glad that my tv fees support Patricia Kaas ;)

Great questions!
1. I think it's because no one likes a cool tough main character with a very girly name. I mean, Xena sounds so much better than say...Jennifer. I never pay attention to details like hair colour.
4. Try not to be such a control freak and I bet the world will just keep on turning ;-)
1) when i was a kid i chose androgynous names in my stories to annoy my teachers and stand out. it worked too :) that said i also wrote a short story based on the assumption that the main character was male, but she wasnt. this really messed with my lit teacher's head!
7) its a crippling addiction. also, when people post notes that a quizes about ur life, completely addictive. just roll with it :-)
hm...in my book Xena always was a very feminine name => the "a"
....rolling with 4 and 7 *g
