WooHoo! Homework sucks! but even knowing that, i cant wait for school to start again for me. I'll be attending PSU.. what is your major by the way?

Why thank you! Yeah, I applied before I became a member, and I've sent them everything except the photo set. I've been reconsidering becoming an SG. If I become one, I'll end up with so many more comments in my journal, and where in hell am I gonna find the time to respond to everyone?!?

Of course you won't have any trouble with the class! I mentioned your site to my bellydancing bass player, and she was already familiar with your program. Wow, you're famous!

Oh, I would love to hit the Rummage Sale with you, but I live too dang far away!

And Oscar's wrong: I think well of myself because I'm afraid of others! Haha! Just kidding. I think very well of you, my dear.

Thanks for the hugs and the support.

Oh, my my my my. What an inspiration you are! This whole journal just makes me wanna get up and shimmy! I haven't really bellydanced in a while, but I'm gonna be putting together a group number (based on Egyptian and caberet styles) and I'm gonna be rifling through your music files to find the perfect numbers! Love it, thank you.

Don't get the bit about the glove size, though.

Ooh, definitely post the tattoo speech, too! Very interesting. I am terrified of getting up in front of even a small crowd and speaking. Mortified. So good for you, and I'm sure you're the only one who noticed your voice shaking. We're always harder on ourselves than anyone else is!

Great to hear that the speech went well, and just enjoyed reading the tattoo speech as well.

After thinking about the same-sex marriage speech, the Canadian decision and just thinking about things generally, I think I'm in favor of getting government out of the marriage business altogether.

As a religious ceremony, the government shouldn't be in the business of certifying marriages anymore than it certifies baptisms, and the law has evolved to a place where there are a variety of legal arrangements (corporations, powers of attorney and so on) which can serve the legal purpose of marriage quite nicely, with greater freedom for all.

Perhaps I should do some sort of "family as corporation" spiel...

It's been far too long since I readed your journal. I am so sad to have missed the Oregon County Fair. Every year before this one I've known people who were going and just couldn't make it down with them and this year, when I probably could: BAM! I haven't a clue it's happening. I trust you're doing well?

PS I rather like the Wilde quotes. Seems quite the insightful fellow.

Very nicely done, with a few inconsequential mechanical things (such as "principle [sic] sign of social maturity"). Your closing paragraph reminds me very much of Paul's First Corinthians 13 ("the greatest of these is love"). Perhaps work up to using that verse as a penultimate (just before the last) line? Before the call to legalize same-sex marriage at the end?

Nothing persuades religious people so much as quoting their good bits well.

It is very interesting how you dance between a completely love-based notion of marriage as love and a legalistic notion of marriage as a contract.

Anything which protects marriage by forbidding divorce or second marriages scares the shit out of heterosexuals, especially those in evangelical sects, which tend to have a very high percentage of second or even third-marriage couples within their most stalwart "pillars."

Give 'em hell, Wednesday!

Have I told you lately that you kick ass?

thank you for your nice comment, well..i should say smilies, oh my set in suicideboys....oh and by the way, i see you are 'into' pagan/wiccan spirituality, so am i...ive been practicing for about 4 years now

Right on. You go with your bad self. Not afraid to admit your age, dress cool, have tats and tell it like it is. You're my kind of lady.

*blush* I'm linked to your journal!

Mature students are always so on the ball. Me, I take an afternoon to move a single sock across the room. (I stole that from Martin Amis.)

Congrats on the speech! For some reason, I never get nervous having to get up in front of people for stuff like that. the worst part is thinking about it beforehand...when I'm actually doing it, I magically mellow out.

i like to amuse, shock, AND feed people.

Hope you had a good fourth and that nothing got burned down.

i think i'd rather become like my dad anyway..

that is really intresting now I definately well check out that film, if not only for the unibrow.

Thumbs up! Best of luck with your presentation. I'm sure you'll knock em dead.

Urm...not literally dead of course...I don't know how well that would do for your marks. I mean...a corpse in the classroom and all...and I'm rambling...sorry...

thanks so much. i love wilde.

If you see that guy again, tell him to bring my shoes...I left them under his mama's bed
