Truly Outrageous

I think I'm what is generally called "straight-acting," meaning I can be your basic taciturn, unreadable, emotionally dry male most of the time. My sense of fashion is minimal and my apartment's mismatched furniture is a walking example of college student design.

If there was ever a nostalgia-based purchasing decision that looms on the horizon and tells the entire world "Terry is a flaming homosexual," it's the news that the animated series Jem and the Holograms is coming to DVD on March 30th in a four-disc boxed set. I had no idea such a thing was likely, so I was completely surprised to read the news and then doubly surprised when I said "YES!" as I read it.

And so I offer up this prayer: "God, whom I would love so if I actually believed in you, I know we stopped speaking a long time ago, but I am begging you to help me. It's more than I can bear. I know I will be unable to resist this temptation, so could you please arrange for DVD releases of Inhumanoids and Exosquad so I won't feel like a complete nancy-boy with Jem on my shelf? My Robotech set will not be enough. I ask this in Jesus' name. Amen."
