Lesbian Activist Del Martin Dies at 87

I just read the article about it.  Afterwards, I immediately wanted to read the comments people posted.  I’m always entertained by the arguments people have, especially on a topic like this one.

There were already over 1000 comments.  I didn’t read them all obviously, but I can sum it up for you- about 500 people seem to think she’s going to hell, about 500 people don’t.

Anyhow, here is an example why it’s funny to read them -

TCTheLeader 02:49 AMAug 28 2008 It is always a sad day when you see older people that have been snared for so long in a perverted lifestyle. There is no real joy or peace of mind when you know that you are hardhearted and defiant to the natural law. I trust that the remaining lady will have an encounter with the Creator in a positive light being established in everlasting love and abundant grace.——– AND IF YOU EVER HAVE AN ABILITY TO PRODUCE A CHILD OR BORN TO CLOSE FAMILY MEMBER.. THE CURSE IS ON YOU.. IT WILLBE A FLAMING LITTLE QUEEN FROM HELL… OR THE BUTCHIEST DYKE YOU EVER SAW.. I HAVEN’T MADE THE DECISION OF WHAT IT WILL BE YET.. SO PRAY HARD..

How to Become a Writer by Lorrie Moore

I find Lorrie Moore to sometimes be hilarious in a strange way.  Above is a good example.  I assume that an actual writer would find it funny as well.  I still like it even though I’m not one, I wanna be a movie star/astronaut.

Anyhow, here’s a song that I heard today that I like -

The Shaky Hands – We Are Young

i was legit.

i really love that video.

anyhow, as of september 1st i will no longer be keeping it real here in old irving.  i’m moving to logan square.  my best friend, kyle, moved to beloit.  i don’t think i’ve missed someone this much ever, so i’ve decided to reserve my best friend heart space for him until he returns permanently in like 2010.

i will have a new roommate at my new place.  her name is ellen.  an interesting fact about her – she waited on MGMT during lollapalooza weekend.  they didn’t tip her.  so if you illegally downloaded their album, don’t feel bad.  they’re cheap too.

today i tested out reading a book in public as opposed to my bedroom.  i always wondered why some people prefer it, but i understand now.  i always feel funny after reading, kind of spacey, and it’s nice to be around people when i feel that way.  it makes me in a good mood and i think everything is funny,  even when a creep on the sidewalk called me “mommy”.  instead of giving him the finger, i attempted to wow him by popping a wheelie on my bike.  it was awesome, i got like an inch off the ground.
