Yeah, that was fun to wake up to. I think I'll go back to bed. :(

From scoobydumblonde who got it from greeniebach who got it from marriageislove:

10 Reasons Why Gay Marriage Is Wrong
01) Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.

02) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.

03) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.

04) Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all; women are still property, blacks still can't marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.

05) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Britney Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.

06) Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn't be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren't full yet, and the world needs more children.

07) Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.

08) Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why we have only one religion in America.

09) Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That's why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.

10) Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven't adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans.

Re-post this if you believe love makes a marriage.

So Texas did something wrong today I gather? I swear, I'd never keep up with the news without my f-list. Though having actually just watched the infinitely depressing news on TV, I'm starting to think I don't want to. I'm wondering how plausible it is to give up on the world entirely, buy all the basic survival supplies anyone could need and find an island to live on forever. Open invitation to all slashers and my f-list of course, though we'd need to set up an internet connection somehow... though I guess if all the slashers were there, we could have an intranet and be happy with that.

I think the news about Andy kind of set the tone for my day, dull, a little depressing, nothing I could do about it. I did get my LTA membership card through in the post though; I'm now an official member of the Lawn Tennis Association. Which means I'm now technically entered in three ballots to get Wimbledon tickets for next year. Hhmm. Vaguely considering trying to get to Queens too, since being an LTA member gives me first chance at tickets or something. Will see.

Posted Prize, finally, but it's actually edited for once. I don't know, I would've liked to re-write it all the way through. Not *liked* exactly, I mean I would've been *happier* with it if I did. Don't think I really thought some of it through.

Going for food and then to catch up on a couple of things fic and comment-wise and then I have work to do for my seminar tomorrow. And sleep. Sleep would be good.

Surprisingly appropriate mood icon, blah. That's how I feel today. Just... blah.

Hey, I'm doing alright with the pig lizard.

So I'm watching GalaxyQuest to cheer myself up. There's nothing quite like watching the whole-StarTrek-genre get the piss ripped out of it to make you smile.

What was this post for? Um. Oh! Everyone who's given me their fic links for PS, I've got them, thank you all *so* much. You're making my life a billion times easier. :D

I have a why-Andy-really-isn't-playing-TMC bunny gnawing through my ankle. I can't pay attention to it. I have to finish Underneath sometime if I'm actually going to start working on Datta for NaNo.

Damn bunnies.
