(no subject)
I started getting a little bit more writing done on The Chosen: Three Years Later this morning, so I'll have stuff up as soon as I finish it. I have about two more pages (almost one whole segment of story) done, and after I get a second segment out, I'll post it here.
Also, I'm going to start digging through my LJ here in the near future to gather up worthy contenders for my Best of 2008 list. THIS IS IMPORTANT TO ME, BECAUSE I AM A DORK.
So at work, our one lady, Lynn, has started to kind-of date our UPS driver, Eric. This is terribly awkward to me. I am not sure why, but because I am receiving, Lynn has a new urge to come back all the time when Eric is picking up or delivering, and...they kind of flirt and talk about going out. It's all very innocent. Lynn was telling Heather they kissed a few nights ago, and he gave her a massage or something, and it all kind of creeps me out.
First off, the thought of people over the age of 35 having sex kind of make me want to throw up and die a lot. Especially with OTHER people over the age of 35.
And...I don't know...I work with both of them, and I have to see them...talking, and...I guess it's just weird.
I just don't approve.
Old people dating is weirdness to me.
Hell, I'm 28, and I feel like I should just stop dating because I'm getting too old to be datingly active. Is that weird? I feel like an Aztec. Twenty-eight, Jesus H. Christ. I should be put in a museum or something.
So at work yesterday and today, we were playing the "if you were gay, what celebrity of your gender would you do?", and Tina and Jenn were going on and on about this girl or that girl, then they eventually turned the question around on me.
Jenn: Well who would be your celebrity crush.
Me: Oh...no.
Jenn: What?
Me: No, not...no. No sex in my bum.
I have no affinity for gay sex. Seems too invasive to me, and...not right for me. That said, I have always prided myself on being a guy that can appreciate the hotness of other guys, so I will present to you my Top Four that I eventually came up with.
1) John Morrison, of the WWF.
-I don't know that it constitutes a guy crush or anything, but I'd kill a hundred men on a hundred horses to look like this guy. If I was a girl, I would swoon over him.
2) Sidney Crosby, of the Pittsburgh Penguins
-He's so adorable, really. And such a gentleman. And the best hockey player ever.
3) Kyle Gass, of Tenacious D
-The lifelike equivalent of a teddy bear! And such a funny-cute guy.
4) Ryan Reynolds
-Okay, let's be fair. He's the hottest man on Earth. I can see that.
Abbey told me I'm supposed to tell you all who Tina and Jenn picked. Angelina Jolie. Gwyneth Paltrow. Selma Hayek. Ummm...the Asian chick from Lost. These were the most popular picks between them.
No pictures of them, even though I'd enjoy looking those ones up a lot more. Booo.
So...my respect level for my uncle dropped a little over Thanksgiving.
My family is hyper-conservative. Which I already knew.
My cousins and my dad and Grammy were playing Apples 2 Apples. My cousin's Green Card was "Intelligent". Well someone knowing my cousin threw out "The Far Right". This is what followed.
Paul: The Far Right? They're not intelligent. Not the FAR Right.
Me: *shocked*
My uncle: Hey wait! What was that? Why do you say they aren't intelligent?
Paul: Have you heard anything Ann Coulter says?
Me: *SHOCK as respect level for Paul increases*
My uncle: Yeah, she's intelligent. What? She's very smart.
Me: *Respect level for Uncle Jeff falls through the floor*
I mean...wow. Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, the right wing pundits...these are not intelligent people. These are liars and smear artists and people that spread ignorance. And I can't believe anyone who actually FOLLOWS politics and government would listen to them and respect them and treat them as a news source.
Like...here...I am left-leaning. I have "chosen my side", I guess. But when discussing politics, I do not treat Al Franken or Michael Moore or Jim Hightower as reputable news sources. They are loud mouths who seek to propagate an agenda by reporting aspects or twists on the news. Even though they twist things in a way that makes me look or feel smart...I am intelligent enough to recognize that they are worthless. They are not news. They are entertainment. They are loud half-truth spouting voices.
And just...wow. Ann Coulter as intelligent. Wow. Wow. The part of me that disagrees with, but respects my family's ideology is dying. Ann Coulter is a horrible human being. Just terrible. Just shy of pure evil.
