RANT

I try to be the best person I can be.

This said, I know i can be mean sometimes, when provoked, and I know that sometimes when I am angry at people I let them know exactly what they did and/or write them into stories where they are shown as being exactly who they are, but in a more negative light. I know this isn't always the best thing, especially if I write it somewhere where they are likely to see it. But it's just the way I react to things.

For example: There was this guy I had a small crush on but I knew he didn't like me. This on its own is fine, I really don't care that much. But it all changed so very quickly. Friday night he was on Twitter complaining about how none of the girls he liked ever liked him back, and since he was on a tirade I decided to hint at the fact that maybe someone liked him. And then he commented asking me what I meant. I told him it was obvious. Then, while he was working on a response I decided to shoot him an actual text so it wouldn't be put all over Twitter.

But oh no, he says it right on Twitter, that he doesn't like me. I knew he didn't, it was no big deal. But then he goes on to add this to his tirade. I didn't want to be fuel for his pity party. So I just ignored his future Tweets. Over the weekend I continued to just get over it because it wasn't a real big deal.

Until tonight.

Tonight he and I saw each other for the first time since the awkward conversation. I acted completely normal. I said hello and continued conversations when he joined. But something was wrong...oh that's right, HE completely ignored ME. So now I am telling you all about it in an attempt to vent instead of just telling him exactly what I think about him.

And that concludes my rant.

I am, in most definitions of the words, a feminist AND a virgin. I know, shocking that one would admit so openly to being a virgin, right?

WHAT??! Why is it so wrong to be a virgin? And why does it seem as though the terms virgin and feminist are mutually exclusive?

I believe women should have the same rights as men, but I don't believe this means women should be promiscuous. This is because society has it look like men are so promiscuous that if men and women are to be equal, they should be equally promiscuous. What the hell is that about?! I think men should keep their pants zipped as well! Women aren't the only ones who have the possibility of being virgins.

News flash: Men can be virgins too! It's called ABSTINENCE! Look it up!

Sure men and women both have sexual desires, but they shouldn't be penalized for holding out until marriage or even not participating in sexual activity at any time in their lives. I think these people should be applauded! Media is bombarding us with this pro-sex propaganda and if we have the bravery and courage to say "no thank you" than we should be able to live with just as much acceptance as those who partake in sexual acts.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that people who have sex are in the wrong here, but it's not right for them to tell us we should have sex if they admonish those who tell them not to have sex.

People should be able to live their lives in accordance to their own beliefs.

Charlie Sheen Bit my Finger



The above image has been deemed the "Charlie Sheen bit my Finger" look. It occurred to my cousin, Rick, who was over today that he could take "Charlie Bit my Finger" and make it about Charlie Sheen. It was exceedingly funny at the time, and I feel the picture will make me laugh for a long time.

Let's talk a little bit about the man of the hour, Charlie Sheen. As many people know, Charlie has been having some drug issues and saying the craziest things instead of owning up to it. He has been saying he isn't doing anything but winning, and the only drug he is on is "Charlie Sheen". Of course almost everyone else can see how insane he is. He talks about "winning" almost constantly, and it should be known that he is not fully comprehending the meaning of the word. I know that his sayings are pretty humorous, but I think we also need to take into consideration the fact that he needs our prayers. Clearly he isn't in a right state of mind, and if he continues this way he will die. This kind of thing is not meant for anyone and as Lent starts we need to remember all of those who are suffering.

On another note, I am now on Spring Break and will be in my home town until Sunday. If you want to see me just let me know.
