Blerg.  I can't get my people together for my Colloquium project.  *rants and raves for a second, shakes fist in air*.  :(  *pout*

Ah well.  Tonight's going to be fun though.  I'm hanging out with some friends of mine later on at around ten, so I'll at least get some socializing in. 

Today's been nuts.  I woke up and felt really really icky this morning, so I skipped Sociology (the teacher makes me feel nauseated anyway.  she's so boring and uses such infantile terminology that it makes me want to puke).  After that, the rest of the day just went to shit.  Nothing seems like it should be, and it feels like I have something really irritating hanging over my shoulder.  That's what screwing up your schedule will do to you I suppose.

My meeting with my English professor went really well though.  My final thesis for the year on my research is going to focus on the description of the Native American berdache societies, the attitudes of Europeans of the colonizing era on other faiths, reasons why the berdache traditions were suppressed, and the effects of that on the revival of the old ways that's going on today among the Native American peoples, especially on the reservations.  Should be fun.  She approved it, I'm researching it, and I will do wonderfully on the final paper if things go well.  Yay.

As for now, I'm being a complete bum, playing the Legacy of Kain:  Defiance on my PS2.  Hooray for college and having tons of stuff to do. 

Procrastination is like masturbation; it's all fun and games until you realize that you're just fucking yourself.  Amen.

Yesterday was so much fun.  lol  I got back from church with the family in the morning and got a message from my friend Casey, who's staying in Mobile for school.  He and I took an impromptu trip to New Orleans for the day.  :)  Mardi Gras celebrations...oooh fun.  lol

Anyway, we had a good time wandering the streets and watching parades, had dinner at Cafe du Monde, walked from the French Quarter to the Garden District...lol.  All three miles.  We saw the Baccus Parade on the way down.  Elijah Wood was on the first float, so that was cool.

Now I'm back in Hattiesburg, waiting for my sister to take me BACK to Mobile for the real Mardi Gras celebration.  Casey dropped me back off here this morning b/c I had classes.  bleh.  I love this time of year.  :)

Robert is such a fucker!  I was at breakfast with my sister Whitney this morning, and it turns out that he'd already talked to her about what's gone on and made me look like a heartless bitch whose head turns every time a guy looks at him sideways.  He thinks I was just leading him on apparently.  This just pisses me off.  I'm not the one who ran off two days later and made out with practically everyone at the party while piss ass drunk.  Y'know, he's a good guy and all, but he is such a drama queen sometimes.

I understand that he's a lonely guy.  However, I can't see that he does anything to help himself.  He smothers me when we're dating and tries to move way too fast, then he tries to make me look evil when I break it off.  *rollseyes*  UGH!

What

the

fuck.

I hate USM's internet service!  lol  Mine's been out for a week, and finally I went down there and got the situation taken care of at iTech.  Stupid people.  lol  Ignunce!  Ignunce I say!

Ok, as of last Wednesday, Robert and I were still together.  Robert had planned this dinner thing with everyone, and it turns out that his roommate had also planned to have friends over.  lol  It was an amusing night.  Anyway, he and I had "that talk" that night, finally broke off the dating thing.  It turns out that he had bought me a $100 ring at McRae's for V-Day.  Let's think about this for a minute...NO.  Three weeks of dating and he's already doing this to me?  huh uh.  No way there buddy.  Glad it's over now instead of later.

Ok...next day, Friday.  I was in my happy place bigtime.  I went to the mall and got my haircut, followed by a nice visit to Chik-Fil-A.  :) :) :)  It's good to know that I'm easy to please.  lol  I was in a good mood all night.  *does the happy dance*

Saturday, went to fencing, had a great time.  I'm all pumped up about going to the state tournament in June.  Virgil and I fenced for an hour and forty five minutes.  Great workout, was really really sore all through the weekend.

Anyway, after that I went back to Mobile, visited with the parents, picked out some new paint and borders for my room and bathroom...all that good stuff.  Then I went out with someone on a little date.  Nice guy...really cute.  ;)  lol  The only problem with him is that he's a Pentecostal...would make for a very interesting relationship.  Mahayana Buddhist/Roman Catholic and a Pentecostal...ooooooo boy.  lol  Anyway, we're gonna keep in touch.

However, SUNDAY I left Mobile and went to Biloxi to meet up with a friend of mine...the guy I mentioned before, Columbus.  It went well, just had dinner at his house.  It was a nice date, left the next morning with a few hickies...but I didn't have sex with him.  I'm no slut, but I do love a good makeout session...hee hee.  So we're talking now too.

So this puts me in an interesting position.  Robert's jealous, of course, even though Saturday night he made out with two good friends of mine and someone else who's a mutual friend between the two of us.  Yeah, he's really devastated, I can tell.  Anyway, so I'm talking with Columbus and made a friend in Mobile (Daniel).  They're both good guys, but I think at this point that Columbus's won out, as Daniel and I have been entirely platonic about things so far.  So technically I'm single, just dating around and looking at the options.  :)

Now, nothing much has happened this week, save for today.  Someone had the GALL to call me a self-loathing faggot because I'm personally against gay marriage.  Ok, whoa, hold on there buddy.  He OBVIOUSLY doesn't know me very well.  Let me explain my position:

In this country, we have a little something called the separation of church and state.  Marriage is a religious institution.  How it's defined is determined by the religion that it falls under.  Therefore, the goverment shouldn't deal with marriage at all, straight gay purple bi transspecial whatever.  Civil unions should be universal, to straight gay purple bi etc with equal rights and privilages to everyone.  Marriage shouldn't matter worth a rat's penis as far the goverment is concerned.  The terminology needs to be changed because OBVIOUSLY even our President is a bit confused as to what's a marriage and what's not.

To continue, I'm against gay marriage religiously on these grounds:  Marriage is something that's very much involved with reproduction.  That's why it exists.  Love has NOTHING to do with it.  All that it means is that two people can screw and make babies and stay together to raise them for the betterment of society.  Hooray.  Gay people don't generally reproduce unless something freaky happens.  Therefore, it's not applicable.  We make our own bonds with each other and don't require the ceremony and BS involved with a religious marriage.  It's not applicable.  It's not like we're beneath it, it just doesn't matter for us.  Our bonds are no less worthy, no less holy.  Period, end of discussion.

So why the fuck am I a self-loathing faggot?  Because I can use my brain and figure out that certain terms are being used differently by different people and causing confusion?  Because I happen to be able to see the problem at hand and try to speak out to fix the terminology issue?  huh.  *grumps*

I'm going to make my own religion and marry a ferret.
