I was talking to a dear friend of mine about a hot issue in the country right now: Equal rights for the gay and lesbian community. He had this to say, and I thought it was worth sharing: "I don't like the stigma attached to the terms straight, gay, or bi, because people still assume being "straight" means you're a good wholesome person, but being gay or bi means there's something wrong with you. If you ask me, can't I just tell you I'm not picky and buy you a drink?" He's a great guy (bisexual) that really sees things to love in all of us...and I liked his thought above. Remember, hatred and prejudice are the two biggest things that hold us back. Today, practice tolerance. Just because someone else's political views, religious views, or sexual orientation is different from yours, if they're not hurting anyone, would it really hurt you to try to understand? Have a wonderful Sunday!
In the age of the, "smart phone," I'm sure we've all heard of the horrifying, yet amusing phenomena that is auto-correct, predictive text, or T9, where your phone automatically chooses the word it thinks you mean. Well, I actually got e-mailed about the Amazing Collection show I applied for. I collect bladed weaponry. The casting director had a very flattering comment for me, quote, "Omg, you're like a superhero!" I was very flattered, and tried to text my sister the same comment. My phone helpfully changed, "superhero," to..."spaghetti!" Thanks, SMRT phone! Have a fantastic weekend!
This morning, I woke up, and did what I do every morning: grab my phone, and check for overnight e-mail and messages I need to answer before my day starts. The first message was a text, from my sister in medical school. Quote: "I like cheese, and I'm not wearing any pants." Sent, 3:56. The funniest part? This message is no cause for alarm, coming from her! Today, thank a loved one for their uniqueness, and for being a part of your life. TGIF!
