Marriage

Posted on by

Dear Friend,
I believe that ALL Americans, including gays and lesbians, deserve the rights, responsibilities, and privileges that come with marriage. And right now, we have an unprecedented opportunity to make that dream a reality. Please, join me in adding your voice to a million voices raised in support of civil marriage for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender couples at www.MillionForMarriage.org.

This week, it’s especially important that we reach 200,000 signatures – right-wing extremists are lobbying Congress right now during their so-called “Marriage Protection Week.” Please, help drown out their anti-GLBT voices!

State tax return from last year is done. I owed money, plus penalty and interest. Could have been much worse. As it is, I consider it worth it to have my idiocy of last year closed and done with.

I used to cringe away from checking my mail, because I didn’t have enough money to pay bills.

I don’t any more.

There’s a new Steven post. The last post is written, I’m just going to wait until tomorrow (or later) to post it. Nyah!

Dinner with Mom and rocked. China Gate – Perfect food, unless you get the pork. Sorry, Dad. :)

Filling in some gaps.

Looks like I never posted that the results of my heart ultrasound were fine. In fact, my heart is much more healthy than they expected for someone who has been on high blood pressure medication since they were eighteen. All in all, good stuff.

I’m getting all of these social activities and things, now that I’m learning the area, and work on the novel has slowed down a bit. Not only that, but I’m caught up in the Anne Rice Vampire Chronicles, and have been reading on my lunch breaks instead of writing. Luckily, I’m at the last one that I have, Armand. I don’t know if there are any more, but I’m guessing knows. Heh. :)

I also have Stardust to read before Penguicon. Gonna get either that or Adventures in the Dream Trade signed. Aw, yeah.

There’s a manager position open here at work. I’m applying for it. Cross your fingers for me. One promotion per month is just not good enough for me, apparently. Heheheheh.

Conflicting Urges

I’ve been promoted to TSS 2 at work. Retroactive to December. Pay raise and back pay. This is excellent. I got my federal tax return yesterday. That means that the state is on its way as well. Also excellent. Game is tonight, and dinner tomorrow with the parentals. Very cool.

Cow-orkers that speak and act like vapid Californian stereotypes should move there and far away from me. Maybe then the violent images will stop parading through my imagination.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): University students in Poland have discovered an unexpected way to boost their grades: wearing red underwear while taking tests. Ever since researchers presented evidence of the “red underwear effect,” clothing stores have reported a run on scarlet-hued bras, underpants, and boxer shorts around exam times. Maybe it’s merely the result of mass hysteria, but what difference does it make if it truly enhances the students’ performance under pressure? I suggest you consider hopping on this trend, Taurus. What have you got to lose from regularly donning red skivvies during this, the final-exam phase of your yearly cycle?
