Did you know that "straight pride" is an anagram of "third-rate pigs"? Just throwing that out there.

How is "penises fit in vaginas" a good argument for heterosexuality? I HAVE SEEN MEN FUCK WATERMELONS but no one's advocating a fruitocracy.

National Coming Out Day is in less than two weeks, so I thought I'd prepare straight allies before hand: DO NOT "come out" as an ally.

Oh no khhc has tagged me in 'name 10 books that have stuck with you' and I can't even think of 10 books (that aren't to do with my course) that I've read lately. So this is digging way back to my childhood, when I actually read things.

1. The Universe Nextdoor - A great piece of science writing that discusses 12 mind blowing ideas at the cutting edge of science.

2. Astrosaurs - Read it in Year 6. It's a book about dinosaurs that fled to space before the asteroid struck. Who doesn't want that kind of imagination?

3.Miracle In the Andes - The story of Nando Parrado, a rugby player who crashes into the Andes. Would you eat your dead friends to survive?

4. Information is Beautiful - Great graphs, so much information.

5. The Shack - Despite it's simplistic theology and lack of actually answering questions, it provides a gripping storyline and even more profound questions.

6. Did I Ever Tell You How Lucky You Are? - A Dr Zeuss classic that I can pretty much recite the whole of. No matter how bad the situation this will cheer you up.

7. The Atlas of the Universe - Everything you need to know about the solar system as a kid.

8. How to do Just About Anything - This book can be consulted on just about anything!

9. The Lego Movie Maker Kit Handbook - A big book on how to make movies. Even now I use the tips it gives for screen writing. Great facts also!

10. The Bible - For better and for worse this book has shaped me. I'm now at the point in life (and in education) where I get to study and scrutinise it heavily. No doubt it has played a role in making me who I am though sometimes it's a negative impact as well as a positive one.

So there you have it. I think now you write yours and tag more people. That is how the virus spreads.

It's not your fault. The guy should have respected your personal boundaries.

A guy who buys something for a girl doesn't deserve anything other than a "thank you" in return.

I feel like clarifying here that Liam isn't being a total douche, because all he got from drunk-Bex was 'some guy was interested in me and I let him buy me a drink and then I ran away' and sober-Bex doesn't want to redo that conversation haha.

But yeah, you're both right. I made it clear that I was out to enjoy myself with my friends and had no interest in anything else. If someone is making a clear effort to make sure you don't touch them, you should probably stop trying to touch them...
