On a different note, read in the paper today that the Supreme Court declined to hear the argument of the people who're challenging the Massachusetts law allowing same-sex marriages. Of course this was from the point that the federal government cannot make the precedent of interfering in states' rights...but the challengers don't believe that.

Sorry, but while you might find Sally and Jane's marriage offensive, it's not <i>harmful</i> to you. That's the root of the issue. | On a different note, read in the paper today that the Supreme Court declined to hear the argument of the people who're challenging the Massachusetts law allowing same-sex marriages.

Revision as of 01:16, 5 December 2004
So it looks like I'll be taking three, not two, semesters off from college. I guess more time to get grounded and centered is a nice thing. And also, I'm not exactly gung-ho to return to the bubble that is MIT.
On a different note, read in the paper today that the Supreme Court declined to hear the argument of the people who're challenging the Massachusetts law allowing same-sex marriages. Of course this was from the point that the federal government cannot make the precedent of interfering in states' rights...but the challengers don't believe that. Honestly...government should only take a moral stance in those actions which harm others, like theft and murder. Sorry, but while you might find Sally and Jane's marriage offensive, it's not harmful to you. That's the root of the issue.
And, oh noes! The mud is down today until Dec. 7. Whatever shall I do? Get caught up on my artwork and the wiki, that's what. Mmmm, free time.

Last night I told my parents I'm taking one more semester off from MIT to make sure I'm well before I go back. Holy mother. At least I know for certain my dad values success and a good career over personal happiness, now.
I am drawing my friend Yoji and my friend Thymol, both of whom have excellent taste in music. Thy sent me a song by Cake that made me laugh, so he gets extra brownie points. Yoji does too, because he can make me giggle by telling stories. I've also put more recipes up. I'm all about this recipe-not-on-an-index-card-alone thing, because it makes it so much easier to share them.
Also, today there was christmas shopping. And I have survived. The pile of wrapped boxes on the dining table, complete with kitty-chew-toy bows, is testament to all the shopping.
In conclusion, if you bring your problems to me, and don't want to follow my advice, you can still come cry on my shoulder, but don't keep asking me to solve it for you. I already tried that, and apparently that's not what you want.
