Have you ever had someone in your life, in your past, that really, really hurt you?  I'm not talking about a boyfriend or girlfriend.  I'm talking about someone like a bully, a class clown that made you their target, or even someone you desperately wanted to be friends with.  I'm talking about the friend that told you that you were fat because you ( Read more... )

Why is it so hard to understand that gay people just want the same rights as straight people?  What is the problem here?  I don't understand.  I honestly think that it's the religious right that holds the gay community back from getting the rights that every "straight" person gets in this country.  What is the logic in letting kids go through our ( Read more... )

My  new job is so much better!!!!!!!!!!  I want to clone my boss so everyone has a boss as amazing as mine.

I have other issues to deal with now... but we will get into that later.  Let's just celebrate my new job!!!!!!

Well, almost.  I got what I thought was my last paycheck... but she still owes me for one more day.   Nevertheless, she paid me for two full weeks, I was able to *gasp* cash it (the bank called me to tell me today that there was finally money in her account... although they used the code: "it's a beautiful day!"), and now I am done!  In two weeks I ( Read more... )

It was so hard to leave.  Mary got me a card that everyone signed, and she and Judy also got me flowers and a beautiful going away gift.  And saying goodbye to the women I love so dearly sucked!

I am not totally done yet, and I can't feel total freedom and relief, at least not until I get my last paycheck.

And we all know how evil my boss can be... ( Read more... )

My boss just finally gave me my paystubs today... I haven't gotten a paystub (until recently) since January.  Apparently, she was paying me a dollar less than I normally receive an hour.  I was suspicious of this, as I was working the same hours but was getting paid less.  I hoped I was wrong, and that she had just adjusted my claim from 1 to 0, so ( Read more... )

I am so pissed right now.

I just am so mad at my gender after watching this show.  Even when I was young and tan and thin, I never, ever treated any man the way these women treat the "geeks."

I'm just going to say it: Geeks are a woman's best friend.  They are loyal, true, and honest.  They will be there for you no matter what.  They are incredible ( Read more... )

 The lunar eclipse is just amazing.

It's the first one I have ever seen, and I had to call everyone and tell them to go out and look at the moon.

What a sight!!!!  I feel so lucky to have seen it!

  Josh just found out that one of his old buddies shot himself to death today.

How do I comfort him?

He is in a state of shock.

He's lost a best friend to a situation like this before... thinking it was suicide but it turned out it wasn't.

He's vunerable, but a guy... so how do I approach this?

 I just talked to my mentor, my teacher, and my godmother: Elizabeth Naccarato.  I haven't spoken to her for nine years, and I missed her so much I can't even describe it ( Read more... )
