Horoscope sez:

"You are the creamy candy center wrapped in chocolate... fairy godmother has something fun in store... do something fun with friends tonight."

Well, I dunno of zayna's sister qualifies as a fairy godmother, but all you Tampax, we're calling for Castle Shenanigans tonight (probably around 11, since K has a couple of pet sitting appointments this evening).

And, because it's true, I'm gonna change my name to "Bert" for the day.

True[1] Story.

A religion teacher assigned her class an essay on what makes a good Christian. One student wrote about praying nightly, saying no to abortion, banning gay marriage, and donating money. The other student wrote about talking to God and allowing people to enjoy their lives, and supporting gay marriage. The day the teacher was to hand the papers back, she called up the second student and told him she would pray for him when he went to hell. The student asked why would he be going to hell, and why he got an F on his paper. The teacher told him that Catholicism is against gay marriage. The student looked at her for a minute, then said aloud, "I'm gay." The teacher kicked him out of class as if he had said fuck or worshiped Satan. A girl in the back of class who had a boyfriend and was obviously straight got up and left too.

If you would leave the classroom, repost this. It doesn't matter if you're straight, bi, or gay. It doesn't matter if you're catholic or not. Everyone is a human being and deserves happiness.

([1] jmthane's note - I'll believe it's a true story when I see the original story. Meanwhile, you'd better believe I'd leave the classroom. I'm one of *them*, after all...)

Selkie Sez: "As I said to JM, as far as I am concerned, the story doesn't have to be true to be valid. Jesus himself told many a parable."

Would I have walked out? Shit, I wouldn't have been there in the -first- place, but, hell yes I'd have walked, right after telling the self-righteous krunt where she could stick her crucifix. Sideways.

Is this thing on? [health]

Yes, I suck, and never update.

Mostly, that's a function of watching the same two or three pounds come and go, along with the same two percent body fat. I've been essentially swapping meat for pudge back and forth for, oh, the last six months, without any appreciable progress (and, yes, I'm sure basically taking a flyer for the month of May didn't help).

However, after an un-lovely bout of food poisoning on Tuesday, a lovely dinner Wednesday, and a great workout Thursday, I think I've gotten myself internally de-kippled from last weekend's home-cooked food orgy (both sets of parents mean well, and the stuff was delicious, but when there's food for 30, and only 18 people show up. . . hard to say no to childhood favorites, even when they're arguably healthy Lebanese dishes (Kibbe, rolled grape leaves, hummus, etc)).

Progress, dammit!

F5 [abort, retry, fuck up completely]?

1. Do you play any sports?
In a league? No. Used to play soccer. Am/was a fiend for football/street hockey/roller hockey/ultimate frisbee.

2. Do you exercise on a regular basis?
Yes, and that's even if you don't count "pushing my luck" as an actual exercise regimen.

3. Name one person that raises your blood pressure:
That fuckstick in the bow tie on CNN. Also, any high-ranking member of the Republican Party.

4. You need to go up two floors in a building: do you use the stairs or the elevator?
Just two? Stairs, almost every time.

5. One thing that makes you go "Hmmmmm"?
The folks who selectively cite the various "abominations" from Leviticus. All or nothing, folks - you don't get to pick and choose which letter of the law you want to be unwavering asshats about. Besides, my Lvl 60 hunter can take down a pair of 59/60 Abominations solo, biatch!
