Am off the anti-man kick, thanks to the guys who took the time to reassure me there were at least a few decent ones left. *hugs to Arch, Amiel, and Joshua (whoever...you...are...)* Especially to my darling DD, who I miss and who sent me an immeasurably cheering e-card thingymabopper. *glompage and blown squidges sent in a general Easterly/Phillipines-y direction*

Laughing and hugs also to Molly and Ads, who although not men gave me good reasons for allowing males to exist.


Let me ask you something:

Why can't I be a gay rights supporter just because I believe human beings should be treated as people?

Why can't I not be interested in a serious relationship with a guy because I'm eighteen freaking years old and haven't been on even a "playing the field" date yet?

Why do these two things suddenly mysteriously add up to the fact that I'm on the verge of coming out?

I'm straight. I don't find women sexually attractive. That doesn't mean I have to march in protest against gay couple's adoption and look for someone to be engaged to before I'm old enough to be tried as an adult, does it?

It's not that I'm mad they think I'm gay--it's that they're jumping to conclusions. And based on so little evidence.

And I have been leaving rambling desperate messages on all my friends' phones. I told Tyler's mother that I needed to be rescued, for pity's sake. Curse my sister! I do not want to be the chaperone/third wheel on her first date with this guy! I demand that either somebody make Jen, Tyler, or Jess call me back or learn to Apparate.

Your pardons. I seem to be ranting a lot lately. *squidges to the flist for putting up with her*

I hear you.

I've had many an issue with those types of assumptions; and it's really difficult to explain that not every girl finds the love of her life in high school (or college) or ever, for that matter. I'm not going to hold my breath on that front, either! Last week my 11-year-old cousin gave me a pep talk about finding a guy, talkin' 'bout "keep ya chin up!" Sigh, they grow up so fast! But yo, just because I support gay rights, etc, doesn't mean I am gay! Jeez people! It can be bloody annoying for people to make that assumption, especially if they're your own parent. Keep doin' your thing, girl. As my cousin said, "Keep ya chin up!"

*rolls eyes* People just like to jump to conclusions sometimes. They'll get over it.

And ranting is perfectly acceptable in the world of Tiffany. :) ~T

*s/eye roll* Silly assumptions. People just need to say to themselves, "When I assume, I make an 'assu' out of me."

Although this is outside info, I'm glad Tyler agreed to go, good boy.

tell them that you are gay and that you're moving to MA to elope with your secret girlfriend.

Oh, and you're pregnant. You're not sure who the father is, as all your cousins look alike.

"Pass the beans, Dad?" *thunk* "Dad?"

LOL, I just might!

I am glad to see not all women think we are all useless. :)
