There ain't enough words to express how I feel

{subject artist: Salt-n-Pepa song: I am body the beautiful}

If you don't already know, there's very little that will get me fired up faster than gay rights issues so you can imagine how this Prop 8 stuff is going over with me! The Mo's are top on my dislike-list right now but I've spent the last two days being angry about it and I'm done. The only one hurt by this is me. And so I figured I'd share an article about gay marriage that lightened my mood and I think will make you laugh (not to mention that it's BRILLIANT!)

Enjoy!

Losing My Religion

{subject artist: REM song:Losing My Religion}

Wow - I'm bored. A feeling I haven't had in a looooong time! I'm taking a break from school, soccer just ended, my website is about 97% complete, my book is printed, Scott is in school (not around to entertain me. ha!) and because I am usually not home at night, I don't even know what there is to watch on television. So last night I went to a movie. Religulous. Yes - Bill Maher proving that religion is ridiculous {it's all in the title folks}. I enjoyed it although I felt it could have been done better. Still, it was funny and informative.

At one point an individual talked about being ostracized due to religion. It definitely hit a nerve for me. Having left the church, I feel like people feel sorry for me (she's been led astray) or feel that certainly I am no longer happy (are you kidding me? have you seen my life) and worse yet - I wonder if people feel sorry for Scott (poor Mormon, married to an Agnostic). But then other times I wonder......is it all in my head? Do people really feel that way? Or maybe people couldn't care less about me and I'm just full of myself.

Opinions? Thoughts? Anyone been there? Or - - perhaps some of you have actually felt that way towards me and Scott (doubt it, cause I pick pretty damn cool friends. haha).
