Copycat

You know, if Jimmy Kimmel was female, it would be spreading around that he tried to copy Ellen with the whole candy bit. But he's a dude, so it was completely original...

WHY!

I hope that will finally see that there is only one race - The human race and that we are all members of it.

Don’t give up just because of what someone said. Use that as motivation to push harder.

Confessions

I don't care even the slightest about politics. I only know I'm registered to vote because I got called for jury duty. I've never set foot into a poll place. It freaks me out. I was working at a school one year during voting and a voter hit my car while I was in it. I know I'm giving up my civil duty. We can just add it to the list of things I don't do but should do- like go to doctors or floss regularly or have only 1 job or any number of other things. I find my beliefs so "out there" whether it be political, religious or just moral. Here are some current events that are complete opinions that I have "the right" to have weather I vote or not because I am a human and I am and will always be entitled to my opinion. 1. I don't really think my vote matters. I learned in 8th grade that the state reps are supposed to vote with the majority of their state but there have been cases where they choose the opposite because of their own beliefs. 2. I don't think the president truly has ultimate power. I think they have similar power that Jesus had- a leader who had a constituent of people that followed. Except in the land of the free, people will split hairs with every possible way to argue. 3. I don't see the big deal with opening bathrooms to mix gender. I think it's only a big deal if we make it one, which we have. I've shared a bathroom my entire life with a man, why should it be any different in public. I know what you're saying- "people are creeps!" Well yes, but I'm sure there are plenty of creeps that have small children too. 4. If we continue to have all these arguments about women's rights then we are going to continue to separate ourselves. I'm not talking about the whole equality in the work place. I'm talking about the way women are treated purely because they're women. I have boobs and a vagina, I don't shave my legs regularly because dammit I'm lazy, I have a belly. If I want to walk around with any lol of modesty, it doesn't make me any less of a woman. I'm not any better than a man. I'm a woman. I'll do anything you do (except pee standing up because I don't have a squirt gun) and I'll do it in heels- not because a woman should wear heels- but because I like them. 5. I don't care if a person likes boys, girls, puppies, kittens, if they think they're a boy or a girl but weren't born that way, if they want to pierce their face, tattoo their body or color their eyes. I will treat you like I want to be treated and assume that whatever life choices you've made are simply because it makes you happy. My life choices are for that reason- so let's learn about each other by being inquisitive (or not if that's not you're style) and stop judging. 6. Hate is such an awful word. 7. I love to laugh. I love to laugh so hard I pee. I'm off topic.
