Prop 8!?

So I logged on to Facebook today and what is the first thing that I see?  Why, prop 8 has been overturned!  That's right, a judge on the California Supreme Court overturned the discriminatory, backwards, hateful and 53% voter-approved Proposition 8.

CHECK OUT THIS SCHIZNIT!

It's about freakin' time!

Now this is only the beginning- the case will likely move up to the U.S. Supreme Court and the blind, closed minded freaks on the other side of the fence will likely fight until the bitter end.

Which makes me think.  How does one come to oppose equality?  What makes other people come to hate people like us?  Is it lack of education?  Xenophobia?  Or do we really represent the downfall of society?  Also, is it right for a judge to overturn a voter-approved proposition (even if it is in our favor)?  I know my opinion.  What's yours?  Follow and comment!

I have so much more to say than just this one post.  I'm going to begin organizing some of my posts into pages.  Twilight will be one of them and the fight against prop 8 will likely be another.


For now however, rejoice in your victory, gay californicans, equality will soon be yours!

Twilight part 1

OKAY, so i got Twilight from the ibook store so I wouldn't have to suffer through the trauma of going to the bookstore or the library (which has like a mile long waiting list) and I have now read the first ten chapters....and I have watched every episode of I <3 Vampires.

I am a convert.  This is my next Harry Potter.  My best friend put a hold on the book at the library and she's getting it relatively soon.  I won't be in this alone, at least.  She has an excuse though- she's a girl.  I find myself completely and utterly the victim of a double standard.  If I am to maintain a SCRAP of masculinity, I can't tell anyone that I'm an addict.  So I'll just tell the whole world with my mighty fine keyboard muscles.

As for my actual opinion on the book....I don't like Edward so far.  I like that character- he's mysterious, but I'd never date him- pfsh! Screw that!  Anger management issues=turnOFF.  I'm still team TayTay.

Which one has his shirt off?  That's what I thought.

And as for I <3 Vampires, I stumbled across Take180's website when someone posted the Inception spoof (Incepcion!) on Facebook.  That's how I got La Roux's Bulletproof stuck in my head.  For months.   Anyway, it's absolutely amazing.  It's the best web show I have ever seen.  Period.  Know a better one?  Go on, prove me wrong.  I dare you.

For now, I leave you with this:

Boundaries

So, as I am growing more comfortable with my comfortable life and my comfortable friends and my comfortable bed from which I am blogging, I will continue to blog for all of my followers...all NONE of you! I know, I get it, I'm just starting out and I need to become more active in the world of blogs. I'm working on it.

ANYWAYS, I am here today to talk about boundaries. Not so much the white picket fence that surrounds your comfortable property, but more the mental sort. What I'm talking about is that line or boundary you swore you would never cross or the line you have yet to touch. These boundaries define us to an extent, yet limit us at the same time. I once swore to myself that no one would ever know that I liked men (OOPS, bi the way........). I crossed that boundary and exited my comfort zone and I am now a much happier person because of it.

Now, since I find myself once again exiting my comfort zone as I prepare for college, I believe it is time to break some more boundaries. Just to list a few:

I will never wear a v-neck shirt

I will never paint my nails

I will never get my eyebrows waxed

I will never read Twilight

I will never pay more than $25 for a garment of any sort

I will never wear skinny jeans

>

Case and point ^^

Now, these are rather shallow, but I will, however, break one of them. I will read Twilight. I'm getting the ebook off of the ibook application so I won't have to bear the public humiliation of buying it.

But understand this: I am not for team Edward or team Jacob. I am for team TayTay Lautner.

Also, I will be recording a cd of music I'm working on for college and I might even put up some of the stories I've been working on. I'm breaking some boundaries and stepping out of my comfort zone- This should be fun. Until then, I leave you with this:

Summer

Okay so I have been completely restless lately and I have had no clue why- until today.

It might have been the sweet lovin' I was making to my friend's toilet bowl last night or the massive hangover I had this morning- whatever it was, it somehow triggered the epiphany that I was going through withdrawal. From what? From people.

Last month I graduated high school. You know, high school, where there are people around every corner; where if you're not with the right people in the right corner, you're screwed. As a band geek, I was screwed all the way to the bottom of the social ladder.

But from the bottom of the social ladder comes freedom- a lack of need to conform or to please other people on the rung's above you. You are invisible, free to do what you please and best of all (in my humble opinion) to judge the other people who think of themselves so highly.

Lost yet? Good. My point's coming, I swear.

I lived off of picking apart other people. I lived off of pointing out their every mistake and flaw. I lived off of backstabbing, rumor spreading, and all around bitching. When I was surrounded by hundreds of other people at any given moment, there was always a rung on the ladder to rip apart, whether it was the lead singer of the super gay ska funk fusion band, the captain of the suck ass football team or his slutty girlfriend.

Now, the ladder is gone, and so are the people.

Which brings me full circle to where I started; one month after graduation, partying and puking with people that I actually ....like. I haven't picked apart someone in a month and I have all of this free time to sit and not bitch. How the hell do people do this!? I need people. I need someone to hate. This ...sucks!

So as I sit here with my macbook (which I did not buy willingly, believe me) quietly going crazy, I'm hoping that someone will look at this and please give me something to bitch about.

And I will keep this updated as much as I can so that the whole world can hear me roar.

And one more thing: Don't judge me.
