The semester is finally done.

 

I am pretty confidant about my English Grade. I'm sure it's going to be an A. That final was really beyond easy. Only ten questions. Three of which were quotes from King Henry IV. You had to identify who said them. It very much helped that I used both of the quotes in a paper I did on the play. :) Another question was: "What was Ivan Ilyich doing?" I couldn't pass it up. I had to reply: "Ivan Ilyich was dying." I couldn't pass it up, I'm a natural smart ass what can I say?

 

You see the name of the story was "The Death of Ivan Ilyich"

 

History.. well I am kinda lukewarm about the whole history experience. It started when I turned my first paper in and only got 9 out of 15 points. That sorta set the tone for the rest of the semester. Meh... Anyhow, got a C overall... tanked my GPA in the process. Sick thing is... I chose History over algebra to stop myself from getting a C and tanking my GPA. Well, at least I don't have two of them now.

 

Ma and I got into another row about Gay rights.

 

The just of the conversation went like this:

 

her - Its a choice and they just want marriage so others are forced to reaffirm their choice of lifestyle.

 

me - you are crazy! who in their god loving mind would ever choose lifelong harassment and osterization. Thats like telling a slave in the 1800's that they chose that!

 

Anyhow, she has the definition of the word choice screwed up I think. No one believes its a choice anymore, well save for those right wing nut jobs. Thank god they are running into the edge of mortality. Bleh!

 

 

Happy Friday right?

 

I can't escape the feeling that I owe someone an apology. I feel like I screwed something up somewhere, but I don't knw when or where it happened. What ever it was... just... just I'm sorry.

 

Catch you all on the flip side

:huh: Your Mom still thinks it is a choice?? For G_d's sake leave a whole bunch of literature around for her to read. Sorry Steve you probably have already done that, some people will never change their minds.

I know the feeling Steve... me and the sister get into it with mom all the time about gay rights and such so I know where your commin from. Now that the semester is over, take a step back and breath... it's the best thing to do (otherwise you'll go splody and that's never a good thing... too much of a mess to clean up :P ).

 

Remember that life is a series of punches and sometimes it's best to just roll with them and when it's all done, whip out a bat and beat the living hell out of life. Works for me :D

Sometimes you just have to take your loss to save your sanity.. I think your mother has to come to that realization herself, I doubt you'll change her mind otherwise. Not very optimistic though. :(

 

And I told you a C wasn't that bad. You can easily recover from a C. :)

Bishop Desmond Tutu, who's one of the greatest minds in Africa, made a comment recently exactly like yours. He said that he couldn't imagine anyone choosing to be something which was so greatly discriminated against. Personally, I know that sexual orientation is probably a result of some biochemical imprinting on the reptilian brain gone slightly awry, which means that God did the choosing and God, supposedly, has a valid reason for everything she does. Nobody who believes that they can outguess God has any standing whatsoever in any religion. What's nuts about this is that probably, your Mother will come to treasure the relationship that you develop with her which could never have come about if you were heterosexual. "I have lots more fun with my gay son than my straight son," I've heard that so often.
