Ok. I don't do political rants....I tried it once and I got whacked with anonymous comments about how stupid I was. Lame. Not interested. I don't do rants in general about touchy subjects because I don't feel like ranting about my side of a situation helps the other side to understand where I'm coming from.
But....
And we knew there'd be a but(t) didn't we?
I'm gonna try so so so hard not to lose my temper, I'm gonna try to speak clearly and eloquently so that I can help people see where I am coming from. Yoda said "do or do not, there is no try." and to Yoda I say "Soooo then you can go ahead and make a blog about gay marriage and either do or do not whack your head on the desk in frustration and scream and scream and scream until you're hoarse and dizzy....I am gonna try not to."
This topic is touchy. WHY THE FUCK IS IT TOUCHY! Sorry, sorry. I am trying. I'm gonna cut to the chase....here is what I propose.
You wanna get married? Good. Can what you want to get married to consent mutually to this marriage (aka is it a person)? Then awesome. As far as the government is concerned you are married. Meaning you are life partners, you have decided to team up and figure live out together. You get to inherit things in wills, and visit each other in the hospital, and have a honeymoon. That's fucking beautiful, man. That church doesn't feel comfortable performing the ceremony? Fine, it's their right to refuse. All you have to do is find a church that will....and trust me, you will find one. At the very least you will find a person qualified to perform marriage rites. You can quote scripture to me alllllll day long....pick your favorite holy book....find the place where it specifically forbids such and such......yeah....do it in that sexy voice I like....no the high pitched one where you sound like the clitoris from the south park movie. IT IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE IRRELEVANT TO THIS DISCUSSION. How come? Because marriage was not invented by religion. Show me, please I'm begging you, show me the part where it says, "and then adam and Eve wanted to get it on and Jesus came down and said, yea but first thou must get married, yea I shall create marriage and it will be good and it will be for the sole purpose of making babies. Show me that and I'll shut up. But check this out....you can get married legally without mentioning God at all...you really can I've seen it done. Apart from the people actually agreeing to marry each other It's none of anyone else's fucking business. So stop it with the bible thumping. I understand you have a deeply moral problem with it, that's ok, that's your right. You don't have to participate, heck you don't even have to see it, just make your excuses and don't attend. It's fine. But the minute you step in the middle of someone else's life and say, you can't get married because it makes me uncomfortable and Jesus hates the gays is also the minute I stop taking you seriously for ever.
I have to stop now. I'm having trouble controlling the caps lock...It makes me sad and angry that I was born into a time where this is issue is an actual problem and I keep seeing comment  after comment of horrible, mean spirited, hateful sentiments masquerading as religious morality and I despair a little because it seems to be so widespread. No I really have to stop now, I'm seriously going to scream soon.

Old Journal meets new journal

I used to write on livejournal. I still have the account, I just don't write in it anymore, I write on this, on the occasions that I do write. I used to be a lot more prolific....I also used to be quite a bit more complainy.....but what teenager isn't? Anyway I checked it tonight to see if it's still there and yes it is! I also checked it to see what the last entry was and actually it was only two years ago. So it's a list of statements about myself that I owned at the time. What I want to do is copy and paste the list from a few years ago.....and then I'm going to make a new one for the current me.

I am a ruffler of feathers
I mix-dance with natives
I make a mess of things
I question authority
I am a punchline ruiner
I am a failed boyfriend theif
I am easily swayed by charm
I try to play well with others
I am half heartedly mysterious
I think there's power in my patience
I assemble court in my living room
I deny being beautiful
I feel everything
I am fluent in body language
I am a second guesser
I will play hide and seek when I'm 40
I wish I saw dead people
I hold grudges
I love scary movies
I don't actually eat bugs
I don't belong in this century
I left my soul in London
I am quite contrary


Feb 12, 2012


I am a buster of chops
I sit in inappropriate positions for my status
I clean up my messes in an untimely fashion
I am a diplomat
I am an Olympic fool sufferer
I am half-heartedly responsible
I can one-line you under the table
I am a successful boyfriend haver
I am easily swayed by junk food
I am a self-proclaimed trivia champion
I can milk a cow
I don't eat bugs on purpose
I love scary movies
I feel everything
I can put myself through a lot to get what I want
I am bigger than I feel is necessary
I wish time travel was real
I was getting used to the idea of cats
I will play hide and seek until I physically can't
I gave my soul to London because that's where it belongs
I gave my heart to Aaron for same reason

heavens I've evolved!

bout time too ;-)

Stuff that's going on with me

The following is a list of things that are happening:

I am playing lots of trivia games on facebook.
I am drinking lots of water and cutting way the hell back on everything else.
I am putting off home improvement projects because I am a master prorasticator (whatever, I like it better spelled that way)
Aerin's been swimming around my thoughts. (For those of you just joining us, Aerin is someone who was a massive part of my life for a very short time, the shortness being explained by her suddenly dying at a very young age. I never talk about it because I'm not someone who can talk about stuff that's that serious. But she does resurface from time to time and I'm trying to be more capable of acknowledging it when she does. It was her birthday a couple days ago, she would have been 26. And that's about as much as I can do right now.)
My boyfriend is in Michigan. He's there because I got lucky and he didn't. What I mean is I got hired on for winter and he didn't. I haven't decided how much I'm going to rant about work in this outlet. I like my job but I worry about those horror stories of people speaking their minds on places like these and having it blow up and ruin Christmas.  So I'll just vaguely say this: I, in my anger and frustration with "the way things are" am blaming my current lack of physical connectivity to the love of my flippin life, on my current place of employment, and I haven't thought better of it yet. Yes, yes I know they can't take on everybody and what about all the other people that didn't get lucky as there's more of them than there are of people that did get lucky. I'm just not sorry yet. This will likely change, but for the moment I'm still pouting.
All will be restored in three weeks. Which is a long time, or seems like it anyway.
I have forgotten how to be alone. No it's not at all like I've forgotten how to fly. But it is a bit of a bother when you do so much stuff together, you get used to it. Doing stuff by myself was never as fun but before Aaron I don't think I really understood the scale of what I was missing. Is that melodramatic? Probably. But I just really really like having him around ok?
Oh this was not supposed to be a woe is me entry. This is supposed to be a putting off other things you're supposed to be doing entry. Well at least I can say I have wasted time.
Now on to paying bills olympic thumb twiddling!
