It's August?! Already?!

Why, hello followers! I'm oh so sorry I haven't posted in months, I honestly don't know why I procrastinated to this extent. Has my brother been neglecting his too?

Today, I thought I'd write about liars. See, in the past few weeks I've had a lot of experience with liars and I don't understand why some people go through so much to cover their tracks. You will be found out. People will be mad at you when they find out the truth, not only because of whatever you did but because you lied about it too. Isn't it much simpler to just tell the truth about it, or much easier, just not do it?

I'm full of questions because I'm void of answers today. I know you have some sort of question that I have an answer to. Why not ask, so you can feel special when I answer you in my next blog? If nothing else the next blog shall be an interesting one. Cheerio!

Better Than Me

People amaze me with their ignorance sometimes.

I experienced something interesting yesterday, and sadly, something all too common where I live. I was in theatre, with the same girl who thinks people have a homosexual/heterosexual switch, with heterosexual as the default. Apparently, with the flick of a finger, one can turn gay. Hmm. I never said in what way that's possible ;).

This young woman, who apparently had not read her script, has to drop to her knees in fear, hug her friend and look terrified. Both she and her friend kneeled and sat there without embracing. When asked by the teacher why they didn't hug, and to do it again with the hug, one girl turned to the other and stated, "But I'm not a dyke!"

You can imagine the look of disgust on my face, can you not?

However, I was a good girl and sat there on my assigned bench. I was livid. After practice was over, I walked outside and spoke with another student who was also pretty mad about the comment. I don't think the professor heard it, but I was seriously thinking about writing her an email. I think I'll just pull the girls aside on Monday and let them know that hey, there are lesbians everywhere and you never know whether or not you are in their company.

The best thing to do is to keep one's distasteful offensive names to oneself, and get educated about things that are misunderstood.

I really thought these types of people were outdated and were just raised in a different way. I thought my generation, and the generations to come, would be educated in the ways of the world and accepting. I guess I was wrong.

Theatre Geek Sighting

Hey! I know it's been awhile (that damn phrase!) but I'm going to start making this a regular thing. I would like to discuss two topics today, one of them being assumption. A classmate in my theatre class assumed that one of the characters in the play 'turned' lesbian after returning from Vietnam. Her assumption was based on the facts that the character had all female friends and she was fed up with men. She then stated she didn't want to play the character that was a "lesbian."

I tried to explain to her that it doesn't mean she is gay, but she argued that she might be. I don't think she realizes that she was arguing with a lesbian about what makes a woman gay. I thought it was somewhat obvious, since I was wearing a rainbow bracelet that stated "Love Not Hate." Why do people think being gay is a phase, or a way to rebel against the opposite sex? I have never understood how people can talk about race issues and yet not connect the two in some way.

Also, I wanted to talk about the upcoming Day of Silence! I want to know what everyone's doing for it. Take pictures, write poems, be creative! Obviously, we won't be getting voicemails on that day. This is something that should be more widespread than it is.

As a note, I would like to encourage you to comment and leave ideas for something you would like me to discuss. This includes a topic you'd like to know more about or something you would like me to share about the journey of podcasting. Sorry about not podcasting this weekend, but as you know, it just doesn't happen some weekends. However, we will be posting a new episode this weekend!

L-G-B-T . . . Respect it.

Thanks for the idea, Truston! I was thinking about writing about how lesbians fit into LGBT.

For starters, I don't think we're represented enough by real lesbians. There are a lot of girls who parade around wearing rainbow bracelets, claiming to be lesbians, when in fact, they are begging for male attention. I find this absolutely disgusting. We are thrown into two groups; One is comprised of mainly butch girls, who men despise for some reason– I personally find butch girls scorching hot– and the lipstick lesbians, who really want your dick. (only, not really.)

Some men can't stand the fact that a cute girl standing there in high heels and a black mini skirt isn't just begging to go home with them.

Oh, and watching? Please. If we're not going to sleep with you, we're not about to let you watch us have sex. That's what your computer and porn websites are for.

Speaking of which, has anyone else noticed how fake lesbian porn is? Please. Who kisses their girlfriend once and immediately goes down on her?

Anyway, I think we really do have some good representation out there, we're just overshadowed by the latter of the two sects. The middle group is almost invisible. The androgynous lesbians are the hardest to label. They can be girly one day and a stone butch the next, if that's the way they feel. Either way, we're proud of who we are, carpet cleaning bills and all.

So that's that! Jackie's view on the "L" of LGBT. Have any topics or comments? feel free to leave a comment below or email me.

So, About What You Said Earlier. .

So, dear podcast listeners, we've finally created our own blogs. How exciting! Although I'm not quite sure what I want to rant about on here, I'm sure I'll find out. I promise not to make it too long.

So, about this Chatroullette. I'm not into it. There's just something about a man's penis in my face that makes my gag reflex kick in. Obviously. So, I decided- or at least, was prompted by Ninja- to go for a lighter version called Omegle. It's actually pretty fun. I ran into only one man wanting to play hide the sausage, and thanks to the handy disconnect button, I was off quicker than Davy Dangerous would've been on. :)

Enough about my experiences with random strangers though, that's what the stalker is for! I'm honestly not quite sure what to write about, so you know what? I'm going to let you pick. Send me an email about a topic you'd like me to cover, and i'm on it like white on rice. . or my sister on rice. Just until I find my footing, you see. Depending on the topic, I'll include pictures, videos, and hey, you'll probably find your way into our podcast too.

Oh, the picture? Yea. This is what I do with my new Mac. Thanks Davy!
