MESSAGE FOR YOUR FRIENDS:
Hi,
Have you heard that Ken Starr -- and the Prop 8 Legal Defense Fund -- filed legal briefs defending the constitutionality of Prop 8 and attempting to forcibly divorce 18,000 same-sex couples that were married in California last year? The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in this case on March 5, 2009, with a decision expected within the next 90 days.
The Courage Campaign has created a video called "Fidelity," with the permission of musician Regina Spektor, that puts a face to those 18,000 couples and all loving, committed couples seeking full equality under the law.
Please watch this heartbreaking video:

After you watch the video, please consider joining me in signing the letter to the state Supreme Court and passing this video on to your friends. The more people who see this video, the more people will understand the pain caused by Prop 8 and Ken Starr's shameful legal proceeding.
Thanks.

So I'm watching Fullmetal Alchemist (STFU I still like it), and I've made it to episode 17. Well in 16, there was one of those passing characters who was a war veteran and he said something interesting.
A dream to get everything back the way it was? But once you have it, what will you do with your life? The pleasure of a dream is that it's a fantasy. If it happens, it was never a dream.
It just . . . made me stop and think. The pleasure of a dream is that it's a fantasy. If it happens, it was never a dream. One of the synonyms for dream IS fantasy. But another synonym, albeit by a different definition of the word "dream" is "goal."
http://thesaurus.reference.com/browse/dream
That quote just . . . kind of stopped me in my tracks. Hell, I even paused it. But it made me think. Does this mean a dream, as in the terms of a goal, isn't really a dream since it is within your plans in reality to make it more than just a dream? Or is something a dream only before you manage to make it happen? And if a goal is a dream until it is reached and becomes reality, what is it then? Is it still considered a dream or is it something else entirely at that point?
I tried to make a concrete line of thinking here that was easy to understand . . . and I failed miserably XD
Any thoughts? |

Okay, so the lack of real updates . . . meh. I've been lazy. The past few days, I've been in a mildly good mood. Positive, I guess you could say.
Right now . . . I'm kind of slipping up. My friend Lauren's husband just left her and while I don't know the details . . . her bad mood kind of embedded itself to me. I'm trying to not let it overwhelm me, but . . . lack of sleep, I'm kind of feeling a little out of it to begin with.
Like right this second. I'm fighting the urge to start crying again. In all actuality, I have NO reason to cry whatsoever. Maybe I should just cry and get it over with, ne? It's not TOO overwhelming. Which means that I am doing better.
Earlier, though, I did watch a movie with my mum on Lifetime. Prayers For Bobby. Was very sad and very touching. I cried.
Now I go find other things to do. |

Okay, so those that knew me before I moved to Seattle probably remember that I had two pet rats named Iggy and Tsume. Unfortunately, my uncle was a dick and said absolutely not when I asked if I could bring them so I had to leave them here. My mom gave them away and, at some point, they died. What bothers me is that my mom gave them to someone she hardly knew and someone I didn't know. I would've preferred it if she would've given them back to Michelle, who we got them from, since I knew they could take care of them properly (though they DID try to use red cedar wood chips at first which is a HUGE no-no with rats, and the same with pine). Sadly, it didn't turn out that way and Iggy and Tsume passed away. I realize they would've died anyway, since I was gone for almost three years, but my brother told me this a few months after I left. They were only a year and some-odd months old at that time and the average domestic rat lives anywhere from two to five years.
Tsume and Iggy.
I was there the day they were born. I built their cage with the help of someone in Kimberly with my bare hands (and let me tell you, it fucking HURT) because the one I had for them originally just wasn't big enough. I let them run around my room when I was home. I got in trouble with my mom for taking one of them to school with me. I let them sleep with me a few times (oddly enough, they behaved themselves and went back into the cage to go to the bathroom). They were my babies and I loved them VERY much.
( pictars )
YES YES YES. I MISS MY FUCKING RATS, OKAY? THEY WERE, LIKE, THE BEST PETS EVER. I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO POTTY TRAIN THEM. THEY DID IT THEMSELVES. LET THEM OUT OF THE CAGE BUT LEAVE THE DOOR OPEN, AND THEY'D GO INTO IT.
I do want to have pet rats again someday soon. No, they won't replace Iggy and Tsume, but rats are nice to have around. |

Okay, so I'm obviously new to deadjournal and I love it so far. I'm an avid livejournal addict, so let's see how long I can maintain both accounts.
Anyway, I'm Coconut. Any questions, feel free to ask. Whether or not I made this journal friends only, I have yet to decide.
Feel free to add me <3 |
