Think that everything could always be worse!

Today(actually a few weeks ago, but lets say today to humor the question) about a wonderful writer: Steven Saylor! I'm in love with his book!

I'm so bored right now!

“All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights...they are endowed with reason and conscience, and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.” - Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Let's not stop fighting and talking and doing whatever we can until it's true.

I thought this was especially relevant considering the upcoming US election, and Prop 8 in California:

I am the girl kicked out of her home because I confided in my mother that I am a lesbian.

I am the prostitute working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman.

I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled nights.

We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time.

I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room.

I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from the two fathers who are the only loving family I have ever had. I wish they could adopt me.

I am one of the lucky ones, I guess. I survived the attack that left me in a coma for three weeks, and in another year I will probably be able to walk again.

I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear.

We are the couple who had the realtor hang up on us when she found out we wanted to rent a one-bedroom for two men.

I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me.

I am the mother who is not allowed to even visit the children I bore, nursed, and raised. The court says I am an unfit mother because I now live with another woman.

I am the domestic-violence survivor who found the support system grow suddenly cold and distant when they found out my abusive partner is also a woman.

I am the domestic-violence survivor who has no support system to turn to because I am male.

I am the father who has never hugged his son because I grew up afraid to show affection to other men.

I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that.

I am the man who died when the paramedics stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual.

I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a much better person if I didn’t have to always deal with society hating me.

I am the man who stopped attending church, not because I don't believe, but because they closed their doors to my kind.

I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most, love.

If you're like me and think homophobia is WRONG, post this!

I have less than a month to study for my physics final and I'm very stressed about that. The topics are too convoluted and far too many for me to completely master them. So, in order to study as much as possible every day I draw myself a very strict and arduous schedule which I hope to follow. I'll update every day to report my advances. Wish me luck =)

Today I officially started driving lessons! I was so excited but really nervous too! I mean, I was worried the whole time 'cause I didn't want to crash or something on my first day. But fortunately I did ok =)

I'll post tomorrow to comment on the new lesson! =) Wish me luck!!!!
