But I'm so glad I stumbled across her blog. She's a great animal lover. She blogs about animal welfare, about how friends don't understand her passion for the animal rights movement, how they cannot understand that you can be an animal lover and not be completely vegan, how that train of thought doesn't immediately condemn you to a life without food ("Plants also feel pain! So don't eat plants too!"), how people should stop trying to question intentions and our motivations to fight for those who do not have a voice, how we should stop pretending that we are superior and thus qualifies us to dominate and rape animals, how conflicted we feel inside; preaching about being kind to animals yet not completely giving meat up altogether, how hard it is to continue to fight a losing battle in front of people who are nothing short of ignorant, narrow-minded and unforgiving. We are not forcing you to choose our way of thinking nor are we asking you to feel our empathy and compassion - hell, that is unimaginable of a race as arrogant as ours. Just don't try to put us down when we express our want to fight for animals. If knowing that someone out there cares for the animals, the very same life that was stolen to make your wedding dinner seem more "expensive" and give you some sort of status, and that makes you feel guilty, then do something about your thinking and your choices, don't deprecate the animal lover.
So I want to thank her, for reminding me of what I used to believe in so fervently, for reminding me to continue to strive for what I know is right, and what I want my future world to become, and not succumb to the selfish pressures of such a conceited and cold-hearted society.

If You Don't Turn Left or Right, Then You Go Straight, Not Both
It's not rocket science, is it? It just cannot exist. Sexuality might be fluid - but it is not confused. It is not chaotic, and it is not pretentious. It is okay to be straight, just like how it is okay to be gay. I know these labels place us in boxes that only serves to entrap, but swinging both ways does not liberate - it merely fluctuates from box to box, from mood to mood, from distrust to betrayal. Maybe it's an ego thing, or a classic example of once bitten, twice shy, but I harbour a strong grudge, a strong resentment when these issues arise. If you once dabbled in a same-sex relationship then it remains just that. Even if it was something so real, something close to eternal love and beautiful romance and all that rosy sweet nothings, it doesn't change that fact. It doesn't change the hurt, betrayal, disappointment, deception.... The memory that she was once in your arms, she once melted, or seemed to melt, whenever you poured all your love and heart and soul in her, will burn its way through you as you try to forget her lewd openness that broke your heart.
You can be gay or straight, or promiscuous. So don't be a fucking coward, and just admit it. Be a normal straight kid, that's all you folks can handle anyways.

Is She Out Of My League?Let's Hope Not.
I'm in trouble I'm an addict I'm addicted to this girl She's got my heart tied in a knot And my stomach in a whirl
But even worse I can't stop calling her She's all I want and more I mean damn What's not to adore?
But even worse I can't stop calling her I love to hear that voice And honestly I'm left with no choice
I'm running my mouth just like I got her, But I surely don't.

This Is In My Lifetime
Prop 8 has been ruled unconstitutional!! And GET THIS:
Proposition 8 fails to advance any rational basis in singling out gay men and lesbians for denial of a marriage license. Indeed, the evidence shows Proposition 8 does nothing more than enshrine in the California Constitution the notion that opposite-sex couples are superior to same-sex couples. Because California has no interest in discriminating against gay men and lesbians, and because Proposition 8 prevents California from fulfilling its constitutional obligation to provide marriages on an equal basis, the court concludes that Proposition 8 is unconstitutional.
