A girl in trouble is a temporary thing
The puppies are out getting groomed right now so it's really quiet in the house, and weird. I keep thinking, "Where's Pepé?" because usually he's right next to me, or hanging out in my bedroom window. He was pouting last night because I sent him to sleep upstairs, so I could try to get a full nights sleep... it didn't really work. I went to bed around 9:30, and I woke up at about midnight, and I was so mad about it, it was kind of funny. I fell back asleep, and woke up for good at 6:30, which isn't that bad... I think I feel a bit better today, but my voice sounds worse.
My stomach is growling right now and I don't know why... I had breakfast this morning, just some frosted mini-wheats and a few crackers. Some Handisnack crackers, but without the cheese - I don't know if they changed the recipe or what, but the cheese just tastes gross to me now, so I can't eat it. Stupid recipe-changers. The only product I ever approved of changing was... what were they? "Toaster Buddies", I think. They're like toaster pastries, but with pizza filling inside. When they first came out they were so nasty... then they changed it and it was so good. They don't make them anymore, though. Bummer.
I don't like to jinx anything, but this is the third day in a row my computer has not given me a hard time. I only had one issue yesterday, when I marked something as a favorite page and it gave me a Fatal Exception Error. But it was just one, and it worked perfectly after that. It was odd because when I thought about it, that also happened a week or two ago... and there were other times when I marked a favorite and it didn't happen at all. Maybe my computer really does have its own personality and brain... that would be neat... you know, until it gets super-intelligent and decides to kill me.
I really want to eat but it's only ten... way too early for lunch. I could and should have an apple or something, but I won't. There are some yum chocolate muffins from Costco... mmm. I'm such a hypocrite, really, always complaining about Costco but then gorging myself on their muffins and their breads, which are just the best foods ever. They probably slip some brainwashing drugs into them, and in a few months I'll be sitting around mumbling about how great and totally non-fascist Costco is.
On the good news side of the world (?), a CA judge ruled that a ban on same-sex marriages is unconstitutional. Amen to that, sir. So, "we" haven't won yet, but I am really optimistic that we can change things, make things equal for any two people who are in love and committed to each other, not just a man and woman who are. In spite of my strong political and personal beliefs (for me there's not much of a difference) about a lot of issues, I have never really gotten involved before - protests, rallies, things like that - but for this I want to very much. I just think it's sad and wrong that there are people who are denied rights and opportunities that are given to others.
It's the year 2005 - I think it's about time all that changed. I've been trying really hard to understand the POV of the other side, and I just don't see how any of their arguments can be validated. Religious reasons - okay, then, don't have your church perform or support gay marriages, but why should that stop others? Procreation - come on, are heterosexuals going to stop having kids? It's true enough that you still need sperm and an egg to create a baby, but you can get the sperm without the man, the egg without the woman... surrogate mothers and all that. It's not as if we're not overpopulated, anyway.
I'll end my mini-rant with this: Love is a special, precious thing. Any two people who find it should be allowed to celebrate it, and to have it recognized, and to have the statutory benefits that come with marriage if that's what they decide to do.
