If you read this, if your eyes are passing over this right now, even if we don’t speak often, please post a comment with a memory of you and me. It can be anything you want, either good or bad. I promise not to come after you with a spatula, either way.
When you’re finished, post this little paragraph on your blog and be surprised (or mortified) about what people remember about you.
(Taken from everyone, especially cadhla, from whom I copied the text.)
I am the guy who came out to the entire school in his senior speech and got a standing ovation for his courage.
I am the girl who kisses her girlfriend on the sidewalk and laughs at those who glare.
We are the couple who planned and studied and got a damn good lawyer and BEAT the state that wanted to take our child away.
We are the ones who took martial arts classes and carry pepper spray and are just too dangerous to gay bash.
I am the transgender person who uses the bathroom that suits me, and demands that any complaining staff explain their complaint to my face in front of the entire restaurant–and shares with my other trans friends which restaurants don’t raise a stink.
I am the mother who told her lesbian daughter to invite her girlfriend over for dinner.
I am the father who punished his son for calling you a fag.
I am the preacher who told my congregation that love, not hate, is the definition of a true follower of God.
I am the girl who did not learn the meaning of “homosexual” until high school but never thought to question why two men might be kissing.
I am the woman who argues (quite loudly and vehemently) with the bigots who insist that you do not have the right to marry or raise children.
We are the high school class who agrees, unanimously, along with our teacher, that love should be all that matters.
If you agree, repost this. Do it. You don’t have to be afraid. You can handle it. You’re stronger than you think.
I am making a difference. Hate will not win.
Two memes for the price of one. First, from tigerbright
The meme du jour asks me to post a Firefly quote in my LJ. So, here it is:
Simon: Are you always this sentimental?
Mal: Had a good day.
Simon: You had the Alliance on you, criminals and savages… half the people on the ship have been shot or wounded–including yourself–and you’re harboring known fugitives.
Mal: We’re still flying.
Simon: That’s not much.
Mal: It’s enough.
Seen various places, first from vampry:
when you see this, post a quote from Shakespeare on your journal.
I’ll tell thee what, prince; a college of witcrackers cannot flout me out of my humour. Dost thou think I care for a satire or an epigram? No; if a man will be beaten with brains, a’ shall wear nothing handsome about him. In brief, since I do purpose to marry, I will think nothing to any purpose that the world can say against it; and therefore never flout at me for what I have said against it, for man is a giddy thing, and this is my conclusion.
–Much Ado About Nothing
In an effort to post more often than once every six weeks, here is memage, vectored from the lovely joyeuse13.
Directions: Type “(your name) is” , (with the quotes) into a Google search, cut-and-paste the first 10 responses that work. Just pull the answers right out of the excerpt google shows you, don’t click the link and search around. The only rule is that each one has to start with “(your name) is”.
Well, this should be amusing:
Some of those fit. Others, not so much. 🙂
Wow, I really didn’t expect to take this long to get around to answering everyone’s questions. The last couple of weeks have just been hectic, and so it got put off…and put off…but no longer!
Rather than do these one set at a time, I’ve combined them into sets of four, so here’s the first 20 questions. I’ll get the others answered in the next couple of days. If you haven’t submitted questions to me, please feel free to drop five in the comments section.
I have a long list of questions from various of you to answer. In the mean time, I found this over aj_raffles way and it amused me, so….
If my friends list were a fandom…
A) Who would the ‘shippers pair me with?
B) Who would the slashers pair me with?
C) What would a Mary Sue in my fandom be like OR who is mostly likely to be turned into canon!Sue?
D) When did I/when will I jump the shark? (Which is to ask, “When did I/will I become crap and cease to be interesting?”
E) Write a summary of the story that would win the Best Fanfic Award in my fan
Stolen from….just about everyone, really.
If you woke up and I was in bed with you, what would be your first thought?
(Then post this in your blog and find out what mine would be.)
