Rants About Society
Bang the Gavel

I was standing in line today at some (insert random retail name here) store, dressed as I normally am, simple t-shirt and jeans. There's really nothing all that spectacular about me.
You Don't Need Braces & Acne to Still Get a Crush

I don't know if the boobs gave it away or not, but for those of you who may not have noticed: I'm a girl. I've been a girl for the majority of my life (there was that moment in utero when things could have gone either way) and I have a tendency to be rather girly at times, despite my best intentions. I don't wear a lot of make-up or fancy clothes. I curse too much and prefer straight shots to froufrou drinks.
Just a Slightly Abnormal Friday

It's the last Friday of 2006. Normally I reserve Fridays for my simple little lists, posting a picture and a brief comment. I had a problem with it today. See, I've been on holiday all this week and haven't plotted out my posts in advance like I normally do. I've just been getting up, thinking about something to post and then writing it. (Well, aside from yesterday.)
Hell is Like a Sandwich and the Mall Parking Lot is Its Mayo

If there is a hell, I believe I've already seen it.
It's in Ventura, California. Sure, some people might simply refer to it as the Pacific View Mall parking lot, but I know better.
You're Never Going to "Get" It (When Mommies Attack!)

We're drawing to a close on the writing adventure that I proposed. In fact, when I first proposed it, I was so enamored with myself for thinking it up, I didn't look at the finer details. I didn't consider just how many people would want to be involved. It was incredibly difficult picking one person so I ended up picking several. Even then I ended up leaving some people out.
You're Never Going to "Get" It (The Religious Vs The Atheists)

I'm an atheist who was raised in an agnostic setting. I was baptized Catholic to appease my maternal grandfather, but never went to church until I was around 4. Even then, it was only because my parents wanted some Sunday "alone time" and would send me with my paternal grandparents who would take me and stick me in Sunday "school." Thankfully, I don't remember much of any of it.
You're Never Going to "Get" It (Lesbians Vs Breeders)

The wonderful world of men, how I love it so. It's hard for me to imagine that there would be creatures out there who wouldn't adore a man's veneration, yet - shockingly enough - there are. We affectionately refer to them as lesbians.
You're Never Going to "Get" It (Men Vs Women)

There are some things that, no matter how well I try to explain them, people are just not going to "get." You'd have to wait until your life span was up and see if you were reincarnated as a heterosexual atheist mommy of one, if you happened to believe in reincarnation.
