We would like to know who really believes in gay rights on livejournal. There is no bribe of a miracle or anything like that. If you truly believe in gay rights, then repost this and title the post as "Gay Rights". If you don't believe in gay rights, then just ignore this. Thanks.
Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.

Ironic how my friend halfway across the country posted this on the same day as the first GSA meeting of the year. I got spontaneously promoted to publicity manager for the club -- it was really funny, Vida decided that I should be publicity and then announced that it was my job without even asking any of the other club officers. I love how stuff like that gets done. But I would've had a position anyway, had I heard when Tony was holding the meeting to elect officers!
This week just hasn't been good for me. It hasn't been bad, but it hasn't been good. I've been a lot more confrontational with people who annoy me. On the one hand it's good, because it's relieving not to have to put up a facade in front of certain people any more, and it's also shocking to see who agrees with you once you have the guts to bring it up. But on the other hand, it doesn't make me feel like a good person -- it makes me feel hypocritical, to demean a person for not being a good person. People in general have just had me annoyed this week. I think I'm getting over it, but I'm not quite sure.
Also, I think a little senioritis might be starting to set in. I hope not -- I'm doing everything in my power to keep it at bay. The problem is that last year I always had ridiculous amounts of work, so the only way for me to have time to relax was to make time. This year, I don't have to worrry about making time -- I already have it. And yet I still find myself making time, which makes problems.
On the bright side, I have discovered a beautiful song, and that helps more than you would think. Also, I love my new icon and I'm looking forward to November.
Finally: the other day in Spanish class, I had this crazy idea that I should write my novel in Spanish. I brushed it off as illogical for this year...but there's always next year. Really, I'd like the chance to write one in Latin or ancient Greek. I think, someday, I will.

As for the senioritis: meh.

I've been shocked at how stress-free Chemistry has been...okay, well that only makes sense when I compare it to how I thought it would be. Taking a break here and there is just one way of keep up sane in high school, as long as we get the work done in time.

And as for being more confrontational... I think everyone just gets fall blues or stress or whatever at this time.

Date: 2006-10-07 12:53 am (UTC)I've managed to psychoanalyze myself somewhat, and I think I know what's bugging me -- it's one of those cases of everything building up into one giant heap of crud. But I'm taking this weekend as a time to get myself over it, so hopefully that works.
