But back to the real discussion, how sad was that for Jordyn Wieber??
That rule is horribly stupid. It's part of this ridiculous movement to "give everyone a chance". This is the Olympics, it's about celebrating exceptional people.
I just signed in to share with you all how excited I was when I heard "Veuillez-vous lever pour sa Majesté la Reine".
Also, "There isn't a single male U.S. athlete that's out. Kind of crazy."
What? Why are you assuming some of them are gay, and that those same have any obligation other than winning medals?
There's a lot of shame in working at Subway.
But thanks! I'm graduating this weekend, and right now it's just a lot of thinking about "this is the last time I'll ever shower in college" or "this is the last time I'll ever get my mail here"
Dunno if any of you guys have ever seen Billy Elliot (2000). I just saw the musical in London and the movie again...and it was so moving and so sad...
Especially this scene (you have to follow the link to Youtube):
Someone should write a story about them
I mean, I would take the Met Opera or the Met Symphony over the Yankees or similar, but would probably take Lakers over something more second-rate.
Do you have any special habits, quirks, or rituals when you travel? (Always bring your own towel/pillows, always request an aisle seat, lighting a candle when loved ones are on the road to bless their safety, etc.)
Elementary school--science
High school--debate (which for us was a class) but if you mean a real class then I guess English
College--bleh.
Have you ever done anything activist-y?
Absolutely. These parents (and that ridiculous couple in Canada who named their kid "Storm") should not be allowed near children and give ammunition to people opposed to gay parenting in general.
I don't see why those two things are mutually exclusive. A walk on the beach or a handwritten poem is lovely, but there's nothing wrong with throwing in a present or a box of chocolates or a nice dinner too.
