Wake up America - teens are having sex.
"You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. Because believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart even when it leads you off the well-worn path, and that will make all the difference."

"Many of us crucify ourselves between two thieves - regret for the past and fear for the future."

God hates fags? I never knew that!
Since the age of 16, I have fought for the rights of my community. For 5 years, I have urged the members of the GLBTQ community to standup for their rights, raise their voices, and be heard! For too long, we have sat silent in the shadows, waiting for our heterosexual counterparts to bail us out, to tell the rest of society that we deserve equal rights. Yet California has solidified their view of our community. We are NOT equal in the eyes of California’s voters or judicial system. We did not fight hard enough.
As if having a large number of American’s against our innocent cause, there is yet another group of people that threaten our freedom. They go by the name of “The Westboro Baptist Church” (WBC for short). Let me be quite frank here- there is NOTHING Baptist about this group. They pick and choose which biblical verses to live by and do not follow the Bible as it was meant to be. The Bible was meant to guide people in their lives; readers are meant to read the verses and from them take morals, guidelines, suggestions. It was never written to be followed word for word. Yet, the WBC has taken the Bible into their own hands, led by “Reverend” Fred Phelps and his 75 relatives (the church is comprised of 75 people, all relatives of Mr. Phelps). Oh, and their catchphrase? God Hates Fags. Pleasant, huh?
Though I am not sure where this blog was going, I urge you to visit the WBC’s website and judge them as you will. However I warn you- view their website with caution, open minds, and non-judging eyes. They judge us; the least we can do is accept them for who they are: crazy, cult worshiping, weak mortals. Or at least, that’s how I view them.

Regina Spektor - Eli, Eli. Simply beautiful. One of these days I will know Hebrew.
I’m alive…
going to New York City Tuesday for a few days, and then I’ll be back to the world of tumbl’in, promise.
PS: If you get a chance to play Virtual Families - jump at it. It’s stupid but so addictive! Too bad there aren’t cheat codes… my family won’t have kids. Le sigh.
I miss everything we had.
Even if it wasn’t much. Those little things, the planning of our future and if we were close, it sounded wonderful. The way you described how you loved me and wanted to be with me forever. I believed you and I still want to, because something about all this had to be true. It couldn’t have all just been pretend. If at least a part of it was true, I believe I’ll be okay.
My 101 goals in 1,001 days list still isn’t done. Mine is lame, so far (at no. 20) everyone else’s is awesome. Maybe it’s because I already send postcards, already have penpals (but am always welcome to more), already blog as much as is possible, and lost my creativity years ago.
