I LOVE this song, but I'm not overly fond of the band. Wish somebody else did it, but I still love it.

My average is 1.91 posts per day, bwaha. That makes it sound like I'm never here, lol. Oh well, I'll just have to spam the place up a bit. Prepare yourselves!!!

I don't feel eighteen... I feel thirteen. What's sad is that most kids that are thirteen are as tall as I am, too. I just don't feel like an adult at all yet. Maybe at some point that'll change. Until then I'm just gonna fake it.

Off topic but... Ya think I could get an echidna for a pet? Do they make good pets? They're so adorable and tiny and spiny and cute... think I could house train one? Hm... it'd be cool, anyway.

C'mon, everybody knew Snape had the hots for Lily. That was completely obvious, he was always a jealous little git. I KNEW he couldn't be evil though... no way, he had way too many chances to screw everybody over in a million ways. The questions... 1. Didn't Dumbledore say something about only a true Gryffindor being able to pull the sword from the hat? It happened once before, and then the sword always hung in the office, right? So I assume it's just whenever a Gryffindor has great need of it, it's available. 2. It must mean that... was his mother's ancestry ever mentioned? ANYWAY! What I loved about this book, and I will praise that devil woman who wrote it for, is the way she's able to take a theme I've thought about for years now and never been able to clearly show in any of my own writing and she's just made it... oh wow. We constantly see people put upon pedestals in life, and they're supposed to be absolutely perfect. We even seem to get angry or disappointed when it turns out that they aren't who we think they are. I like the way she's portrayed this fact throughout the story, with different people. She makes ordinary people into heros, and heros into ordinary people. It's nice, refreshing how even the heros in the story are just regular people who make the same mistakes everyone else does. I like being reminded that nobody's perfect. But yes... it was great. I'm sad that it's all over, and I'm a little disappointed with the lack of serious resolution. I mean, sure, ole Voldy's dead and gone, everything's all hunky dory, but what's going on? Are they going back to school? What are they gonna do? Who's gonna replace all the teachers and all that? Yeah I know, I'm greedy, and I should know that all that doesn't really matter but... I WANNA KNOW. It's a side effect of being a rabid fanboy.

He's a hilarious guy. Every interview I've seen has cracked me up. Have a good time, tell us if you manage to rip away some personal belonging of his to sell on E-bay.

Mine were the best!!!!!!!!!!!! Just kidding. YAY US!

OH wow, Happy Bday!!!!!!!!! (I love everything you've written by the way... hopelessly rabid fanboy)

Stephanie? Well, Bondy, that's kind of kinky even for me.... ANYWAY! Thanks you guys, very much. I'm waiting for cake to get here, and then I'm gonna waste the rest of the day. Tomorrow I might find some party type thing to do, and I'm definitely going to go buy a pack of cigarettes even if I'm not gonna smoke them. All in all, I don't expect it to be a very exciting birthday. At least not until tomorrow when my partying friends get word of it... then I expect to be dragged off to be a delinquent. Thanks again guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You all rock.

Happy birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks CJ, as always you were both helpful and kind. Thanks to everyone else as well. I'm just now starting to look at the entries, woohoo.

Then he'll just have crowds of queer exhibitionists in his bathrooms. They'll get off on the fact that the doors pop open. Maybe that's his plan all along.... he just wanted to see it. Silly conservative Christians, don't they know they don't have to spend 250k on a toilet to see naked boy parts?

Hello Kevvers!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ah, you're a sweetheart, I have no doubt you'll quickly resume being the absolutely sweet Kevvers we all know and love. Truthfully, this is exactly what I would expect from you; the presence of mind to apologize and consciously try to change your actions and the way you're dealing with things. So, go do something fun. Kiss a boy or six. Then tell us about it.

-Being gay is wrong- I hope, seriously, that BOTH sides of the debate have resolved this dumbass moral conflict. If everyone would get off their middle aged Inquisition-esque bullshit Christian moral high horses, we would all realize that the only things in life that are wrong are things that hurt people. If it doesn't hurt anyone, it's not wrong, end of story. If you happen to think differently... then oh well because you're incorrect. Before anyone jumps in yelling "ZOMG he's a n00b he don't gots teh respectz0rz fer ottter believes!" I will say this; sometimes it's necessary to step on the beliefs of others, and don't say you wouldn't tell a gay-basher f**K YOU in a hurry if he said you can't have a boyfriend. THAT is a completely moot point. It has never been the discussion and I hope it doesn't ever become a discussion. Anyone who believes being gay, bisexual, transgendered, or whatthehelleveryouare is wrong is an idiot, plain and simple. However, that does NOT mean that we have to bury the truth in order to disarm those who would twist it to their purpose. Truth is good, and whether the truth is that you're gay because you're born that way or you're gay because your dad didn't hug you enough doesn't matter. However, for those of us who want to know, the truth is something worth striving to understand. Addressing people specifically now. Benji: Unless you'd failed to read you would have known that my general idea is that your genetic material makes up the raw material, the blank slate, of who you are. You might be smarter or dumber, bigger or smaller, happier or sadder even, because of your genes. However, the way you perceive these things, the way you deal with them, the way you take stimuli from the world and arrange it in your mind determines the ultimate outcome of what this raw material becomes. That, at the moment, is the only theory that I can believe. Nothing else has enough backing or makes enough sense. If you'll do some research you'll find that there is a GIGANTIC difference between cases of autism. That definitely suggests to me that they're caused by different things, yes? Well, you also see that there's a GIGANTIC difference between sexualities. That kinda suggests to me that sexual development is influenced by a myriad of things as well. As for the apes, how the f**K do you know their daddy didn't beat them? MAYBE that's what caused it. It's not really that farfetched. Then again, maybe a poacher killed their father and the dominant male figure was absent. Maybe the father didn't accept the offspring. Maybe it had absolutely NOTHING to do with the father. How can you assume that animals do not have similarly if not as or even more complex mental processes than humans do? You can't. Colin: I'm happy you're happy. That's a wonderful thing and I hope it lasts forever. Just because you're not interested doesn't mean other people are not, and I don't think that if we take the time to educate people and use positive peer pressure that anyone will ever make a successful moral argument against homosexuality. Trevor: I agree with you 100%. There is no possible way that anyone can claim that all cases of homosexuality are a conscious choice. That's like saying that a phobia of snakes or an affinity to the color purple are conscious decisions. Sometimes it just ain't that way. Lesfeux: My own father's neglect was because of his drinking problems and the fact that he had severe bipolar disorder as well as a complex because of the fact that his little sister took his place as being the baby of the family. Don't attempt to stereotype anyone and I won't stereotype you. I think that some people, including teenagers and adults alike, like to obsessively hope that it's a factor determined at birth because they're too afraid to fight the real problem. They want to be able to say "Oh, it's not my fault, I was born like this!". Well, what if you weren't born like that? Would that make you wrong? I say we should fight the obsolete morals that dominate our society instead of attempting to conform and find a solution that casts the blame away. Oh, and by the way, any father who neglects his child because his child's sexuality isn't hetero deserves to be drawn and quartered. Conner: Delightful as usual. Birds: Yeah, it is a bit strange, although each time the evidence presented changes a little so I guess it merits a discussion. To sum up... Gay=/=bad. Gay=straight=bi=anythingthatdon'thurtanybody=normal. Psychology=/=why people are gay. Genetics=/=why people are gay. Genetics+Psychology=why people are gay. Bitchiness=/=good reason to break out insipidly stupid stereotypes. Bad daddy=/=the only psychological factor contributing to homosexuality. Obsolete morals=bad. Truth=good. Misuse of truth=bad. Not reading posts=bad. Me talking this much=bad. Me=shutting the hell up now. Have a wonderful day.

~duct tapes hands so I can't raise fingers.....~ Jamessavik, delightful point. Perhaps we should start a campaign to overrule all research and make a proclamation that from now on we will consider homosexuality to be a product of boxer contents? It'll give us an excuse to look in boxers... even if we never really illuminate exactly what we're looking for... Anyway Conner, you'd made a good point above. I'd like to make a point as well, though. Just because they're not human doesn't mean they don't have a brain. Pretty much anything that has a brain has some serious inner workings, yeah? We get traumatized animals, animals that react to certain stimuli in predictable ways, so.... why can't we have animals that end up a little inclined to do other boy/girl animals?

Nevermind this post... I found what I needed.

Porno... someone had to say it.

I think it's something that desperately needs to be addressed by a PSA. If they can tell me I shouldn't smoke POT, then they can DAMN WELL tell me it's okay to be gay. How about they address something that actually NEEDS to be addressed for once? The sooner being gay becomes something that's absolutely normal and commonplace the better. If by some chance one day my kid ends up gay, I want it to be in a better world than the one I had to deal with. By then there better not be a need for a PSA about how it's okay.

~dies~ I LOVE THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH MY JEEBUS IT WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!!! It made me all giggly and smiley and happy. :D :D :D Wow. Just... wow. I love it.

I'm still not buying that sexuality is determined entirely by genetic makeup or prenatal environment. When they shove definitive evidence in my face, then I'll accept it. Until then, I'm prescribing to the combo of factors explanation. And let's face it, the bottom line was laid down in that article. Homosexual genes are maladaptive. Evolution does NOT favor homosexuality. How is it that homosexuality persists if the gene for it is not favored? That makes me lean extraordinarily heavily in the opposite direction. You get your biological makeup from genes, yeah. They control a lot of things, and they give you the raw material. I still do not think that they determine sexual orientation definitively, though. It's just not a logical idea given the most apparent and concrete facts. And that whole fraternal birth order effect seems like utter bullshit to me. That entire statistical phenomenon could be attributed to the fact that in general, boys' brains are indeed wired to be more aggressive (and don't say they're not, boys have consistently shown to have different behavioral patterns than girls, when looking at the majority of males versus the majority of females), thereby increasing the chance of a myriad of interactions and events happening that would NOT happen if there was not another male of similar status present in a boy's life. That, to me, lends credence to the idea that psychology is the determining factor. Interaction and experimentation with boys that a boy found pleasurable and exciting for whatever reason seems to be a very common factor. Brothers, especially those close in age which is usually the case, tend to experiment (not all, but there definitely seems to be a greater likelihood of boys experimenting than never having it cross their minds). I'm not trying to introduce a universal theory here. I happen to think that psychology affects sexuality in many, many different ways. I think that several different situations and processes can contribute to it, and there is no one trump card that determines if you're queer, straight, or bisexual, or transgendered, or even asexual (yeah, some people do claim to not be attracted to anyone, explain that one). Prenatal environment? Ummm... "though no such antibodies have yet been detected". Yeah, not supported by concrete evidence. So... until they show a specific process, hormone, gene, or situation that determines sexuality, I just ain't gonna buy it.

That's delightful.

I dunno, I fit the profile. I have my flaming moments. I like eyeliner. Painting my fingernails was something I liked to do at one point. I have a serious lean towards things that require artistic thought and opinion instead of concrete methods and logic. I'm just kind of... girly. ~winces at saying that~ And I have wondered more than once what life would be like as a girl. I like my boy parts, I'm quite fond of them, but I have thought that it would be easier to just be a girl and fit the norm instead of feeling like I was an oopsie. Maybe because I fit the profile I kind of see the point they're making. I'm pretty happy being a boy, though, so not transgendered at all. I just happen to like other people with boy parts, and I happen to have a few feminine characteristics. Ah, I'm gonna just shut up now before I muddle up the little bit of a point I was attempting to make.

I don't care. The only thing that matters is that I find someone who I love and who loves me. End of story.

Two things. A math related moment that just was happy for some reason... long drawn out explanation. The other thing was that I got an email from someone telling me they were enjoying a story I've started and I've been toying with the next chapter in Word for a while. I'm thinking I might have some ideas floating finally.

Smuggling explosives, you say? I know not of which you speak... for I am an angel. Happy Fourth guys and gals.
