Guess it's just one of those "fuck you all" kind of days. I open my "friends" journal and see that lots of people are having a rough go at it ...
What the fuck is up with the planets?

One of my best friends (since school) forwarded this e-mail to me. Any homophobic comments that may happen to "appear" will be deleted. Period. Even if you aren't gay or lesbian, if you're an American, this SHOULD bother you.
Boycott Virginia!!!
Why the Boycott? Because more than marriage is at stake!
We're here to prove that when a U.S. state attacks the fundamental rights of gay and lesbian citizens, gays and lesbians (and our families and friends!)know how to fight back. Please join us in boycotting Virginia companies and their products and services. And by all means, don't take your tourism dollars there until they disprove their new
>slogan, "Virginia is for Haters." The Virginia General Assembly passed a law April 21 banning all contracts between partners in homosexual relationships. Not just marriage, all contracts.
At the center of HB 751 is this language (emphasis ours): A civil union,partnership contract or other arrangement between persons of the same sex purporting to bestow the privileges or obligations of marriage is prohibited. Any such civil union, partnership contract or other arrangement entered into by persons of the same sex in another state or jurisdiction shall be void in all respects in Virginia and any contractual rights created thereby shall be void and unenforceable.
This law not only prohibits civil marriage between same-sex partners, but actively seeks to invalidate any and all legal contracts between these individuals. Durable powers of attorney, health care directives, even wills and property contracts are at jeopardy now that this law has been passed. We have received numerous emails from couples, together for decades, who are now facing health crises made all the more terrifying by this legislation.
All of the private contracts entered into by gay couples looking to attain any measure of stability and protection under the rule of law are at risk. The language in this bill represents a new and dangerous low in legislative attacks on the sanctity and stability of homosexuals not only as committed couples, but as full citizens. It is hateful, dangerous, and demeaning legislation--and it is a shameful action from the state that was the earliest cradle of American democracy. The Washington Post, in an outraged editorial, says the law "flagrantly violates norms of basic fairness and decency."
We here at Virginia is for Haters believe that if we let this outrage stand in Virginia it could spread across the country. And we know from history that when minority groups see their legal and property rights abrogated through legislation, it is incredibly important to act early and not let complacency embolden the forces of intolerance.
The fact that Virginia is celebrating the 35th anniversary of its "Virginia is for Lovers" tourism campaign strikes us as highly ironic (and made our choice of name inevitable). Virginia is for Haters believes that the best way for gay and lesbians to fight this terrible precedent is by using our collective spending power to amplify online and offline activism.
Gays and lesbians account for over $485 billion annual in US consumer spending. While we are not all wealthy, survey after survey indicates that (in large part because fewer of us have children) a greater than average share of our income is disposable. And as we are increasingly targeted by reactionary lawmakers, more and more of us are politically aware and socially activist. We will express our outrage with both
votes and dollars--as will our friends, families, and other tolerant Americans.
Virginia may not like homosexuals, and may even hate us--but Virginia needs us as customers, tourists, and employees. Virginia's arch-conservatives will learn that what they thought was a cheap gesture towards their religious/political extremist base is actually an incredibly expensive shot in the foot for the state of Virginia--and for companies with headquarters or significant operations there.
We aim to make being based in Virginia just as difficult for companies as it is for gay and lesbian couples. Did these companies do anything wrong themselves? Perhaps not. But neither did the gay couples whose rights the Commonwealth of Virginia is abrogating. If these companies find our efforts unjust, they can take their newly sharpened sense of justice to the General Assembly and plead for redress--and for the withdrawal of HB 751. We'll be publishing the names of companies that publicly urge the Commonwealth of Virginia to repeal this law, and removing these companies from our boycott list.
There are lots of companies with significant operations in Virginia. We started with an easy (if altogether innocent) target, J. Crew, a company many of us have patronized generously throughout the years.

Woke up to this little guy in the tree outside:
Replanted some things in the back yard, grilled some burgers, watched movies ... nothing stressful ... unless you count Paige's newest temper tantrums ;)

Just thought I'd comment, if you're wondering why my updates seem to be random blog oriented, you're probably not on my friends' list, and therefore can't see anything new or semi-new with substance ...

Anyone here into knives? I've been trying for probably two weeks to figure out how to hold my most recent purchase ... So, if you would, click the link, take a look and tell me what you think. I can't figure out a way to do it that wouldn't leave some part of your hand in contact w/one of the blades ...

http://www.obscuredementia.com/Pics/fingerinhole.jpg
... onto the journal thing ...
I've decided that I only work well under pressure. I had a statement for four days without finishing the report ... I was told to do it at my leisure. I have 3 that are due Friday, got the tapes yesterday evening, already finished 2 of them ...
I like pressure I guess :)
That is all ...

Grrr ... If I get one more e-mail asking me to interview for a position in sales, I'm going to flip the fuck out! Argh!
If you're looking @ someone's resume, and you see that their most recent experience is claims adjusting and administrative support, why would you think they'd want to sell insurance?! Fuck off bastards!

Got this from a mag ...
The Spotlight Slut Test ...
If you can relate to any of the following, your quest for attention has gone a wee bit too far ...
1) you're single-handedly trying to make butt cracks a fashion staple.
2) instead of flashing a smile for the camera, you flash a nipple.
3) Bored? No problem. You just grab one of your guy friends and get married.
4) Your signature pickup move is called the Stealth Plunge: your hands down a random guys' pants.
5) To describe you, your friends might use words like brazen, loud, and drama queen.
