"Proposition 8 serves no purpose, and has no effect, other than to lessen the status and human dignity of gay men and lesbians in California," wrote Judge Stephen Reinhardt in the decision.
If that wasn't exciting enough...Washington State legalized gay marriage!! "Governor Christine Gregoire plans to sign newly passed legislation on Monday to legalize gay marriage inWashington state, making it the seventh with a law on the books to recognize same-sex nuptials, her office said on Thursday."
Hopefully we can keep making historic strides to equality for all!
Hello lovees-♥
It's Thursday (: Since there's a little hallmark holiday right around this corner, this is my Valentine's Day Three for Thursday (: Now if you like me your favorite part of V-DAY is the history...hello who doesn't love a good Massacre (: But to the rest of the world its a time to show your loved ones how much you love them ....
Okay boys heres my tips..flowers and candy are mucho over-rated! This is coming from a girl who doesn't like jewelry:
1. Girls are suckers for pictures..
So print off you favorite picture of you two and buy a cute frame. She will love it!
2. Note && A Mix CD:
These will both mean a lot more than anything you buy her (:
Its easy make a cd with songs that remind you of her.
and write down how much she makes you smile!
3. Dont underestimate a good date
We girls are suckers for spending time with our favorite boys
Take your girls out to dinner/movie/ shopping or whatever she likes!
Sometimes the best gifts are just spending time with you.
OKAY SOOOOOO single on Valentine's day? NO PROBLEM! Here's 3 ideas to beat the Valentine's Day Blues!
1. Grab your friends and go see a movie!
Make it a Girls night out, lots of laughs a few tears and a GREAT night!
Don't forget to do some shopping!
Feel free to treat yourself to those adorable new shoes you've been eyeing!
2. Have A SPA NIGHT
Whether you book a pedi at your favorite spa or
relax at home with a nice bath! pamper yourself (:
Remember no one knows what your like better than you!
3. Do something nice for someone else
Theres nothing like helping someone else.
This feeling can beat any bad!
Have a friend or family member going through something?
Buy some flowers or take em to dinner
Maybe just listen to them? sometimes thats all they need.
Just remember Valentine's Day is just that...a DAY...it will pass. But you should shows those you care about how much they mean to you everyday without a hallmark induced holiday.
Bare with me-I promise this isn’t a religion bashing post
this is “this is really starting to annoy me” post
Okay so here’s the scenario-
Let’s face it Face book has become a regular part of
everyone’s life- (whether we like to admit it or not) And let’s face we all
have that ONE friend that whines constantly. I mean were talking “oh I had the worst
day ever :/” status EVERY. SINGLE. FREAKING. DAY.
OR
the “I don’t
feel good” people.
These are the people who you wonder how they can function in
everyday life because they are constantly being struck by every ailment in the
history of the world.
Seriously I’m waiting for the “I have the Scarlett fever
post.” I mean it’s absolutely ridiculous. Okay so you have these attention
whores posting these depressing, mood ruining status. Then you have this people
posting things like “your in my
prayers.” And “I’ll pray for you”
Let me pause for one minute while you absorb this
information…
Yes you read that correctly- people are praying over these
ridiculous statuses
Call me crazy but ill keep my prayers for a little
something, I don’t know…. more SERIOUS!
Come’ on people your joking right?
Well I’m not a
frequent visitor to these emo-status but I happen to have a bad day every once
in a while…and I swear to Tom Cruise someone wrote, ”ill pray for you” on my
status.
Are you shitting me? Is this supposed to be comforting to
me?
How about you bring me an Icee and cupcake? That’s will help
me?
Or offer to punch the idiot that ruined my day (I said
offer.)
I don’t know but I guess I don’t feel comforted by people
talking about my life right before bed or while on the toilet. Where ever it is
that you do your prayers.
The point im making is if you really cared, you would I don’t
know make an effort to help make my day better…how about a nice “Cheer UP!” Or “there’s
always tomorrow”
Let’s not forget Vodka- Vodka always helps. Or wine? I mean
who needs prayer when your have alcohol
I guess where im going with all
this valuable information is: religion is becoming a joke. There’s no denying
the power of prayer is powerful too many people but there comes a point where
enough is enough. Offering to pray for someone who has a massive case of
diarrhea? Please! There are children in Africa who need those prayers. Not to
mention a few corrupt politicians that could use a few words of prayer. And lets not forget my disaffiliation with
most religious groups. Only because I refused to affiliate with a group of
people who judge and exile others.
This says nothing about my relationship with God. We will just let our
personal agreement remain between us. But seriously people think about what
your saying and who your saying it too? What if I were offend by that? And
don’t give me that bullshit about our country being built on religion. We have
freedom of religion for a reason.
So here’s my tip- leave the prayers
for big disasters and find some new words of encouragement. And when all else
fails…. give them Alcohol.
just a heads up on a new show you may be missing out on:
Are you there, Chelsea ? Starring Laura Prepon and Chelsea Handler. It a quick witted show based on Chelsea Handler's best selling novel "Are you There Vodka, It's Me Chelsea." Its betrayal of Chelsea's drunken escapades and full of her witty humor. the show is packed full of one liners you'll wish you had thought of. Not to mention a virgin roommate thats so entertaining its like finding a unicorn. It's a great way to spend your Wednesday night. Give it a chance; my guess is you'll be laughing in-spite of your self.
