The Massachusetts Legislation voted today on a somewhat less than landmark ruling that says that any amendment to the Constitution of Massachusetts has to be definitive: civil unions, marriage, or nothing at all.
The positive news: Massachusetts has yet to prohibit same sex marriages, but they did prohibit civil unions as a secondary option to the legalzation of gay marriage.
The negative news: They can still forever keep me from marrying my lover (when I am lucky enough to find one). I hate this country sometimes. It makes me so mad and so upset that there is a possibility that I may not be able to get married in my life. I remember hearing the news a couple of months ago when the SJC ruled in favor of gay marriage. I thought I was living in a dream. I should have slapped myself in the face and woken up to the fact that there will always be a way for people to be discriminated against using the government. I should have seen this one coming.
Had a rehearsal for Bedtime Players tonight...went decently well. We only have a short rehearsal on Monday to pull the show together in time for our first show on the 18th. (Ya'll reading this should come out next Wed night and see the show!) I have so many sketches to learn before Wed I am a little stressed about it. I know it will all be fine, it always comes together so brilliantly in the end. Suprisingly we worked well together. Its like a week and two days till my brithday bash and birthday and I am gettin pretty psyched about it. All I want is some awesome people to come over here and get shitfaced and have a blast.
I can't believe I'm gonna be 21 years old next week. Where the hell did my life go. As I get closer to this milestone in my life I have been thinking alot about what it is I have actually accomplished in my life and whether or not I am ready to move on from this fantasyland of college and go out on my own into the real world. Its a scary thought for sure. But I am thankful for so many things that are right in my life-its amazing to me how lucky and blessed I am to be where I am with the people I am with.
On a sadder note-someone was killed by a parade float at Disney World today. Me sad about this-it never happens at Disney world like this. I bet I know which float it was too....
