acceptance

Something has been brought to my attention, and I can't sit around much longer and not say anything.

Our nation has been split apart by two lifestyles: Christianity and homosexuality.

Amaranth by Nightwish. Not the group's greatest musical piece, but the video suggests something more.

Hello, my name is Abby, and I am a liberal.

Ingredients for a Human:

1 Heart full of excess love to share
1 Brain to think and create and wonder
2 Eyes to view beauty
1 Nose to smell the enticing earth
2 Lips with which one explores
2 Ears which hear the symphonies of day and night
2 Arms and 2 hands in order to embrace
2 Legs and 2 feet in order to connect with the earth

I used to own chickens. Lots and lots of the little birds ran around the yard, plopped out eggs, and made more chicks. I am an animal lover, and I got to know these birds like the back of my hand. Instead of doing the typical teen things, I would play with the chickens or the dogs or the cats. But, this entry is specifically about those lesser-known fowls.

I remember the childhood days of mutual back and face tickles between friends and family. There were even games that came with them. For the back tickling, you had to identify pictures, letters, numbers.
Those were the days of innocence. The days of imagination and sleepovers. It's amazing that things like that today can seem sexual.

"I just want to be tolerated!"

It's a line I hear often from a rather large amount of my gay/lesbian/bi friends; a line that resonates throughout the overal LGBT community. So, I find myself guiltily wondering, is it selfish of me to want more?
