Yes, this is satire......my lovely little sister is an obsessive gum chewer. She has always done this, and what's worse, she speaks to me while she does it. When we were children I used to be able to stop such abhorrent and clearly criminal behaviour by kicking her in the shins or calling her a name I pulled out of

Aaaaauuguhrgh. I wish I was as good as elaborating or satire or anything like that. I don't understand people, really. Why they are so unaccepting.

It's probably just as wrong to want to send people like that to a re-education course too, isn't it?

I don't think it's wrong to want to re-educate people into accepting and loving individuals. And I hardly doubt that we would keep people from their families.

I wish I could do more than just right. I can't stand this kind of thing. I can't stand the thought that that young man's family heard he was gay and their response was to send him away. That's not love, that's disgusting.

I think I'm probably gay.

I've only really sort of told Ellie and Merry and no one else, not my parents. I want to tell Eden but I think she'll stress. Telling you is okay because I know you won't tell anyone else. Um. You won't ever let them send me somewhere like that, will you?

Geordie... No. I had no idea, but if anyone tried to do that to you, they would have to get through me to do it. The very idea of you going through that makes me feel quite ill, to be honest.

I'm really glad you felt you could tell me. You're right, it won't go farther than me. I love you, Geordie. And I'm proud of you.

Okay, this talk requires hugs and hot chocolate and not the internet. Is it alright if I come up there?

Haha, zing!

I am for Geordie's re-educate the stupid idea. Ethics be damned.

I feel a high-five is in order.

[merry_ariadne]

We're probably come over to Geordie's after school tomorrow, I'll give you one then.

A scheduled high-five. Fantastic!
