Exciting (and by that I mean probably not exciting) tales from my life the past couple days:

I saw the fattest pigeon I have ever seen yesterday. Why this is noteworthy, I have no idea.

I accidentally got really obscene with a donut yesterday. I got strawberry frosted donuts for breakfast, and you know how sometimes when you spread cream cheese on a bagel, you just spread it over the hole instead of around it? Whoever frosted my donut did that, and there was this big glop of frosting about to fall through the hole, so I tried to lick it out...yeah. Imagine how that must've looked, with the pink frosting. There was this guy on his way out just staring at me.

The donut was delicious, by the way.

Last night in law class two students debated gay marriage. The guy against it...holy. Fucking. Crap. Aside from none of his arguments standing up at all, he just...ugh. I got the impression he was about to lead the class in a lynch mob. He kept going back to the phrase "legalizing immorality" so when the floor was opened to questions I asked him "says who?" and he just kept saying "from a moral standpoint - " "I know from a moral standpoint. I say it's moral. Who says it isn't?" "From a moral - " "I know. Who says?" "From - " "Dude. I'm a lesbian, and a Christian, and I say it's moral. Who is saying it's immoral, and why are they more right than I am?" "The - the people who created religion - "

Ugh. Uuuugh. And when I said I was a lesbian I could tell from the professor's face he knew exactly how offensive the guy hadb een through the debate. He got up there and reminded us that he'd assigned sides, that anti-gay man didn't necessarily believe what he said...I like the professor.

Sim Me is a chick magnet. All the women in the neighborhood, except one who hates me 'cause her girlfriend's in love with me, go all "omg u so hawt" on me.

All the men are gay. They're less of an ego boost.

I am in no mood for Environmental Science today. It probably wouldn't be smart to use my second of two absences this early in the class, though. But ugh.

Hopefully that guy learned a lesson in not accepted anything just because "they" said so. You know when they fall back on vague concepts such as morality that they don't have an argument and know it. Perhaps this is why fanatics detest debate. It exposes the weaknesses in their own arguments.

Sounds to me like that asswipe in your class needs a Bella to come down hard on his ass and send him crying home to his mommy. Fucking assholes. And their religion preaches TOLERANCE, FFS!!

Mmmm. Doooonuts.

Yus, sexy donuts!

Having gotten that out of the way, bigotry is everywhere, unfortunately. O'course, all you have to do is point out this asshat the next time I see you and I'll give him a sound ass-whooping. X3 As a friend, and a supporter of the awesomeness of gay people, I vote he gets a whomping.

Anywhoooo...it's awesome of your teacher to defuse the situation like that.

Ah. The ever vague "they." I love how "they" like to dictate to the world about everything and yet no one knows who "they" are.

"From a moral standpoint" my ass. I hate it when people conviently forget that morals are all relative. There is no one right way for everybody. For somebody something might be completely immoral while for another person it's completely fine. Personally? If it ain't hurting anyone, it's fine with me.

And that's just it. The anti-gay marriage brigade really don't have a leg to stand on, once you take away that pesky and ambigious stand-by of "morals." Oh, and the "ruining the sanctity of marriage" whatever that bullshit is.

And it's not the people who created religion. Very few religions actually say anything against homosexual marriages. In fact, the Christian church used to bless same-sex marriages until guys got all freakin' upset, thinking their masculinity might be at stake... Or something equally stupid. And, as someone said, the Bible may say things AGAINST homosexuality, but, for everything it says against THAT lifestyle, it says two things against heterosexuality...

And anything in the Bible, anyway, should be taken with a grain of salt. Unless you're reading the raw Hebrew, those words have been translated so many times as to lose their meaning. Not to MENTION that they had to be filtered through a human consciousness ANYWAY. The word of God, yes, but who's to say the human mind it was filtered through didn't add stuff along the way?

...IMHO. :P (...I...went off on a tangent there didn't I? Sorry.)
