Well, since I am a woman, my partner is a woman and my best friend is also a woman, I would have to ask for clarification on what she meant by "help".

is no one on livejournal talking about the gay rights gaff of the Obama DOMA press release?  Seriously, people. That stanks.

I feel pretty awesome.

Ok so I am reading all these polls on same-sex marriage.
Here is a pretty good break down of what I'm reading.


I don't understand how they can be too legit in saying that between the month of March and April support for gay marriage gre from 33% to 42%. Was there some brainwashing on a McDonalds commercial that I missed? that is quite a jump. Of course I'm glad the tide is turning and I think it has a lot to do with the many many new queer characters on television. For once I am happy about people believing things they hear on TV.

But heres the weird thing for me, in the end of this article it reads: According to that same poll, however, fewer than half of Americans (45 percent) say that not allowing same-sex couples to marry amounts to discrimination. A slim majority (51 percent) disagrees.

HOW is it NOT discrimination? Can someone explain that to me? I'm serious, I'm not being all outragey and ranty. I really don't understand how someone could see it as not discrimination. 2 people who fall in love and want to spend their lives together, thereby, obtain a state sanctioned document that is relatively cheap (100$) that guarentees them access to their loved one in hospitals, visiting rights to each others children in case of death, allows them to inherit their property, gets them fat tax rebates and makes it totally rude for family members to exclude them from family photos. Maybe they don't know the actual definition of discrimination? 

Someone, anyone, please explain this to me.

Ok, so some of you already know about my weird obsession with Lindsay Lohan because you were either there or heard about the night I got completely hammered by myself in celebration on her 18th birthday because she was finally legal and I had been waiting since Parent Trap. She's got that crazy emotional blackhole energy that I am so attracted to. *cracks up* I just want to rescue her from herself.

I realize this is such a hypocritical thing, the media that is chasing her is how I know about her life. But I just have to say, today, in regards to her nasty break-up with Samantha Ronson, Lindsay - please take some time for yourself. You are a talented beautiful young woman and for the love of God THERAPY WORKS and You can afford it. I am sending prayers out into the universe that you will work on healing the bullshit and stop drinking and drugging your feelings into oblivion. When you channel those feelings you make beautiful art. Its got to be hard to be hounded by media all the time and to grow up in such a brilliantly shallow spotlight. A suggestion: Take a year off from it, go to Tibet, go to Africa, GO somewhere where people are not chasing you around for being You. Escape the insanity and realize you still exist without it. Know that there are people on your side, people you will never even know are wishing for your happiness.

They accepted our offer!

Kat and I close on our first house (ever and together) on March 31st. Its a fixer upper (think sweat equity) in a neighborhood with a montessori magnet school. Also within walking distance (less than a mile) is a grocery, drugstore and 2 rivers park (connected to 37 miles of bike trails)!

I bought a house on Valentine's Day! Happy Valentine's Day to me!

Gir from Invader Zim. He's adorable as a puppy, mentally-challenged and not afraid to blow stuff up.

Tied for 2nd place is Number Five from Short Circuit. and Wall-E. 
They are so similar with their awesomely expressive eyebrow flaps and human emotions.

Ok. I know this isn't the best use for ones journal but this little kitten is desparate for a home. She is a member of a feral cat family but much like many of us are the black sheep of our families, She is the black sheep of hers and she WANTS TO BE A PET so bad. She runs in the house and crawls into laps and purrs like a motorboat and love love loves people. All her feral cat relatives hide and peek out at her like she's crazy. She is so cute and She will be de-fleaed and have her first round of shots (for free) if you take her home with you. If you're in Knoxville I have 2 people lined up to drive her into you loving arms tomorrow.

Think about all that love you have to give and this poor little kitty that really really wants some.  I have two kitties of my own or I'd snap her up myself.
