I'm still something today about prop8. Shocked. Upset. Enraged. Hurt. Angry. I can't really pick one because I'm feeling all of the above. There's that disbelief running through my mind the past couple of days that most of the people I've been seeing supporting prop8 belong to groups that have recently been discriminated against.

 

Why were  asians, blacks, and women supporting a statute that would take other peoples' rights away? This the exact reason why I don't like religion-- it turns people against each other. It causes blind fear and hatred based on faith. Instead of observing and trying to understand, these religious sheep pick and choose anything from their outdated scripture that will fill in the holes of any logic or scientific method.

 

 

Why aren't those religious folk burning livestock in praise to their god? Why those religious women on hands and knees serving men?

 

Why aren't those asians in internment camps?

 

Why aren't the black people slaves anymore? Why don't we have separate-but-equal water fountains anymore?

 

 

OH yea. It's 2008. We realized that it's unfair to limit peoples' rights based on immutable characteristics. Apperance can be changed, but those immutable characteristics that can never be changed completely; that's why they're called immutable. Immutable characteristics like gender and ethnicity can be masked by some hair dye, speech training, different clothing, and even surgery. However, an asian can never be white, nor can a woman truly ever be a man.

 

 

Being born an asian isn't a choice. An asian can choose not to appear asian, but that person will always have asian lineage.

 

Being born black isn't a choice. A black can choose not to appear black, but  that person will always have African lineage.

 

Being born a woman isn't a choice. A woman can choose not to appear as a woman, but that person will always have female features, organs, and chemicals.

 

Being gay isn't a choice. A gay can choose not to live as a gay, but that person will always be attracted to the same sex.

 

Tonight is the Obama celebration party here at Rubyskye. Everyone else is in good spirits, but I don't feel like celebrating. I feel like our country is patting itself on the back for moving ahead, but to me, this feels like a step backwards. Shocked. Upset. Hurt. Angry. I can't really pick one because I'm feeling all of the above.

 

 

That lovefest afterparty was pretty stressful. I didn't answer a lot of texts last week and didn't really commuicate with any of my friends. I'm glad it's over, but I'm more glad I worked that party.

 

It just occurred to me after browsing the ravelinks.com website that we had ATB, A&B, and AVB in the same lineup. =]

 

 

I was too bad moody to take any pics or vid, so I can't wait for the youtubes. I think my programming could have been way better, but I was tired, and the rig wasn't my own design.  Whatevs. I still want to see what it looked like from the balcony.

I had a substancetastic time in socal with Boyfriend and the boys.Friday, as usual, was GAMeboi, and as usual, puking was involved. Boyfriend clogged the bathtub with onion rings. Hurrah! Saturday was spent overcoming my hangover, brunching at a yummy restaurant on Hollywood and Vine, playing tennis with Boyfriend, giving Wario (Head's Liquidmetal 8) his name, and hanging out at Nocturnal Wonderland.

 

This year's bday celebrations were good times. I got to know my Ohanas better by playing drinking trivia with them.  Everyone wrote their name on 3 index cards and a question about themselves on the other side of the index cards. We posted them up on a board with only their names showing and split into teams. A team would chose a name/question card from someone not on their team. If they got it right, they were safe, and the next time had to choose a name/question card. If a team got an answer wrong, they filled their cups up 1/3 of the way. We did either small cups of alcohol or big cups of water. If the team after that one answered that question right, the first team drank whatever was in their cups. If not, they too filled up their cups 1/3. The only way people drank was if (1) their cups were full or if (2) the picking teamgot an answer wrong and the team after them got the answer right.

 

Phew.

 

If I'm not mistaken, this was my first out-of-town trip with the boys. I'm glad things went ok for the most part. I know the boys wouldn't have come down to LA for GAMeboi on their own, so this meant a lot to me that they did. They all even drove the huge minivan around Socal, so Mack and I didn't have to drive. =]

 

I know I can seem like an ungrateful cunt sometimes, but I really appreciate my friends. I don't spend a lot of time with them, so when I get to hang out with them and get to know them better, it makes me happy.
