It looks like it's going to rain today :\

Well, I guess this gives me an opportunity to attempt to watch FMA: Conqueror of Shamwow Shambala -w-

I like the rain.
It makes me think of Lucky Star (Which I still haven't watched)

Also, (~ロ_ロ)~ (へ_へ)ノ (&  ^-)_j

rainy days are my favourite, but that's just because i find the grey sky and black-stained trees pretty. -w- (pent, if you made it to burruto in Thousand Arms yet, picture the song from that town, and you have my perspective on rainy days. -w- )

also, i thought it was Conquerors of Shylaman. :0 (I WAS JOKING FOR THE RECORD, NO NEED TO CORRECT ME GUYS, DON'T BE A DERP)

Rainy days are awesome. Although I imagine it's because we hardly get any properly rainy days around here.

[Nichi]

I usually don't mind rainy days, but since I was hoping to maybe do some stuff to my car, that made it impossible :\

[Chocofreak13]

this song is the one i meant for those who haven't played thousand arms~

[Nichi]

I need to get back to that game, to be honest ^^;

My stomach is messed up from yesterday. Maybe going over to my sister's house wasn't the best idea; since it was like an oven in there

I'm not really sure what to say, but


Solves everything (usually)...
I think I am the tallest OSCer here.

[Nichi]

Not a fan of Sunny D, but I do wish I had some orange juice

Also, how tall are you? I'm roughly 6'1''

[LeaflameSD]

5'73-76... ;0_0;

Conquerors of Shymanlanadingdong?

Anyway, I know OSC is probably used to my ohgodwhyaresomepeoplesuchbastards indignation by now and you're probably tired of hearing about it, but an article I (rather unwisely) read last night annoyed the hell out of me and I just feel like rambling about it. Basically, a woman wrote an open letter of sorts to her Fundamentalist Christian and Tea-Partier mother explaining why she lost her faith in Christianity, researched many religions in an attempt to find one that fit her spiritually-speaking, and even spent some time as an atheist before discovering Islam through some Muslim friends and deciding that she wanted to pursue that faith. It was a pretty long letter and was obviously quite emotionally-driven, exactly what you would expect of a personal plea for acceptance from a daughter to her disapproving mother. The letter indicated that she is in her 20s, an asexual and a survivor of sexual assault.

Anyway, this letter, originally posted on a personal blog, got picked up by Jezebel.com, which is an *okay* site most of the time (some articles are excellent, most are mediocre, a few are downright awful). The thing is, Jezebel is home to one of the largest hives of sanctimonious pseudo-progressive a-holes this side of /r/atheism, maybe, and even before I got to the comments section I knew there was going to be an absolute shitstorm. The amount of vitriol was appalling, not just insults against her choice of religion but the author herself, calling her self-indulgent, naval-gazing, and shallow among other things, and people suggested that she was just passing through a "phase" and would change religions again soon. (Because apparently if you take a lot of time, research and "try out" different religions before settling on one you're indecisive and incapable of making a sincere choice.) Of course the author's sexuality was dragged into it too, with some people suggesting that an asexual couldn't be "a proper Muslim" because Islam places so much importance on marriage and family, and that maybe she "became asexual" in the first place because she wasn't loved enough by her mother as a kid.

Considering the sheer amount of hostility that Jezebel commenters have exhibited in the past toward religious people (both benevolent AND malevolent religious people), asexuals (cause asexuality is totes slut shaming!!!!!! Everyone should want lots of sex and lots of sexual partners at all times and if you don't you're repressed!!!!!!) and people who choose to adhere to "moral codes" or more traditional lifestyles (be it on religious, cultural or personal grounds), none of this was exactly surprising to me, but it still pissed me off.

Sorry for the rant, I just felt like venting about that. :/

This is why I don't care for religion.

it's all good, bells. given the opportunity i'd like to punch that site in the mouth. >>;;

@pent: get some mint. and some honey. it will help. -w-

@leaf: i sincerly doubt you're the tallest, especially since 1. the topic of height has never come up, so you don't have a basis for comparison, and 2. you didn't list your own height to begin with, meaning you have something to hide, indicating you don't ACTUALLY think you're the tallest.

check and mate. -w-
