Time to raise a little hell

While I am accepting and I want everyone to be able to express a different opinion, I do feel strongly when it comes to gay rights and allowing them to be. I am a straight female girl and I have several best friends who are gay but upon reading some Facebook pages, I feel the need to raise a little hell.

That being said, I just posted this to two different anti-gay marriage pages:

Your ideas are generally well thought out and while I agree that everyone should be able to express their opinions and be able to feel safe about them. That being said, I need to express my opinion on your entire page.

 

Your page just made me very sad to read. While I am a straight 22 year old, I think that the idea of someone opposing gay marriage because of “love not an accepting factor” is not a justifiable reason. You assume love is just the only factor in what makes someone gay or not. You are also assuming that lust is the only reason why someone would have sex with someone who is of the same sex. All of these are assumptions are wrong.

 

I have several gay friends and I love them all dearly, and not in a sexual form. They are my friends and if they want to marry their boyfriend or girlfriend, that’s what they want. You assume that the sanctity of marriage is some how violated when two people of the same sex enter that relationship status. That is not the case at all. The sanctity of marriage is that of two people who want to spend the rest of their lives together, working through the good and the bad and any issues but agree that uniting their souls is the way to prove to God that want to be together.

 

And before someone goes spouting off about “The Bible”, let me say that religion is the only reason more than 99 percent of you think that gay marriage is wrong. Gay marriage is a choice made, same as if you choose to marry someone else. The Bible or any religious form should not be the deciding factor. We have no right to say if someone’s marriage is wrong. And if we are going to keep religion involved (which you people always do), then let God decide at the heavenly gates if it’s wrong. However, we will never know what is God’s ultimate decision because once we reach those Gates and if God was so opposed to “gay marriage”, then why has he created those who are gay? Why would God let there be “gay” people in the world if it’s the most disgusting and horrible sin in the world? God is the answer to everything you do right? Then how is all of this answered? Guess what, it’s not answered. And it never will be answered.

 

Let the fun begin!

tomorrow is gonna be rough. tomorrow needs to happen now. i just need something to keep to my mind off of it. i just hope that happens soon!

I got a chance to be apart of the live chat with Hunter Parrish before Godspell 3/29/12. It was crazy but, my question was answered first. And I impressed the moderator and Hunter. My question had NEVER BEEN ASKED BEFORE.

I find that shocking first of all. Here is the link for the full video but, I will post what was said. She said my name wrong too but I don’t care. It happens all the damn time. Cue to 1:43 in the video for my question.

Lady: Okay, so Tanya wants to know, Hunter..ohhh good question. What’s your favorite episode of Weeds?
Hunter: Oh wow, um I’ve never been asked that question.
Lady: It’s a great question.
Hunter: It is a great question. Umm, probably anytime I got to work with Albert Brooks. Which was season 5.

( For those who don’t know Albert Brooks is Lenny Botwin)

Lady: I am a Weeds fan too.
Hunter: Wow, Cathy knows the Weeds. Umm yeah so it’s probably season 5 and the four episodes he was in. And he’s just amazing, spectacular guy and a great actor that I look up too. And get to work with.
Lady: And he’s coming back for another season.
Hunter: That’s right.
Lady: Because were rumored that you weren’t coming back.
Hunter: I think that’s the rumor every season. But it’s not true.
Lady: Well it keeps us in suspense and coming back for more.

I know it’s silly but it made me smile! And it was really cool. I’m glad there’s a play back because my video for the LIVE stream was choppy and broken. So I can rewatch it! 🙂

I’m so sick of this issue at work with getting my time off for the weekend of the 19th. My boss told me I’d have my Saturday and Sunday and I’d come back early to work for him on Monday. I checked my schedule and it says I work that Sunday, but that isn’t a for sure.

The thing that bugs me is now this other girl I work with is being a bitch and because she doesn’t want to work Sunday, she going to tell him that she needs that day off for a party. This is a lie and I might be getting fucked over. Not happy. I’ve decided that either he gives it to me or I’m going and I’ll take the write up for not showing. Screw this crap honestly. I shouldn’t have to push like this and yet I am.

I don’t want to be a bitch about it but I will if it comes to that.

I’ve learned something here today, that no matter what, I’ll never win an arguement. I thought my dad would be understanding of this, but nope, not this time. I “overreacted”. Whatever, just another thing to add to the list as to why I wanna move out. I swear by the time I’m actually out, the thing will be a foot long.

One thing is for sure, I’m sick of being my Mom’s punching bag.

When does it become too much?

Date/Time: July 28th 2011, 5:30pm

Now Playing: That 70s Show

When does it become too much? When do I have to say “go to hell” and that’s the end of it?

These are the questions I’m stuck with today. My Mom and I once again got into it. This time however, she called me fat. Now she’s done basically everything else, and I thought that was a bit much but now, it’s different. And I don’t think I’m overreacting in the least.

My Mom and I have gottan into it before about my personality, how I dress and my support for the gay community. Well all in all, none of that is gonna chance. My personality is what it is, and I like it. How I dress is fine, I’m not a shank and I don’t dress like it, nor am I a tight ass. As for my support of the gay community, that’s something more personal to me.

I am not gay first of all. My best friend however is, and my Mom doesn’t seem to understand how I can be friends and support her if she’s gay. This is my Mom’s traditional values coming out. She goes through periods when she’s fine with it and other times when it completely offends her. Now she just doesn’t talk about it.

Today was something new. Today was something I never thought I’d hear her say in my entire life. She called me fat. She told me I needed to start counting calories of what I’m eating and see how much I eat. Now what Mom wants her child to do that if she doesn’t think he or she is fat? Yeah, no Mom.

Now I know I’m not a small girl, never have been. I’m not heavy either. I’m curvy and I have meat on my bones. But for her to imply otherwise was just completely offensive to me. I don’t know how much more I can take.

My Mom was a lot worse when she was depressed but now she’s on medication, so I’m wondering if she didn’t take her meds today. But that’s not the case. She’s taking her meds and she’s still being a bitch to me.

So now, my Dad is involved. He says, that my Mom should apologize, which is true but she wont. So there’s tension in our household. It’s gonna take one more thing out of her mouth and it’s gonna be World War 3 in my house. The only reason I haven’t left now is because I can’t afford it, but I might take the risk if I’m left with no other option.

I don’t know if this is her way of getting me out of the house, but if it is, she’s going about it the wrong way. If this is how I get out of the house, we wont have a relationship. I will not talk to her and I will not be around her. Which will cause tension with my sister, brother and father. However, sometimes things have to be done.

Now my question to all of you is….am I justified in being pissed off at her?

I just noticed something with the movie Easy A. When Olive is  talking with her mom in her bedroom, the computer in the background has a different picture with each change of camera view. Thought it was funny, given how many times I’ve watched this movie.

So we made an attempt to go to Michigan’s Adventure today, and that failed. Well we went and had a good time, don’t get me wrong but it rained. And rained, and rained. It was pretty sad given that the past two weeks we’ve had gorgeous warm weather.

Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain. This is the story of my night.

So I’m currently sitting at a picnic table by an office so I can use the internet. The connection doesn’t reach where I’m currently camping at so a walk is needed. Camping is one of my favorite things to do. I love nature and to be able to look out over the water.

This morning however, I’ve seen something I’ve never seen before. A Map Turtle laying her eggs. Definitely a cool thing! I just hope people leave her alone so she can finish and get those little eggs in the ground without anyone bothering them.

I also caught a baby map turtle yesterday so it’s like I’m going backwards in the life process.

That’s all I got for now! I hope you all had a good Holiday! Happy Birthday America!
