Grammar is serious business.

So this one person and I were mutually following one another on tumblr, we both loved makeup, casual internet acquaintance, whatevs. And she recently started posting a bunch a political stuff, and I realized she's a staunch conservative - which, not gonna lie, did make me feel a little odd... I mean, had she just not seen all my homogay business going on there? But I don't believe in defriending/unfollowing/refusing to associate or socialize with people who have different political views than I do. Especially now, when political fervor is so in vogue. (It does, in fact, trend in and out, much like spiritualism. In, like, 10 to 20 years, everyone will have calmed the fuck down.)

But then she posted some Ann Coulter stuff, which does make me a bit nervous, so I thought I should check out her blog in detail just to make sure she doesn't actually think I'm a child molester or that I ought to be lobotomized or whatever. So I go to her blog and there was some stuff on there that kinda made me nervous, but nothing I couldn't handle, and I kept reminding myself that I don't wanna be the kind of person who will only hang out with people exactly like me.

But alas.

Right as I was thinking 'Whatever, I'm not a delicate flower, I can handle this' and was about to close the tab, I glanced at her sidebar, which said something along the lines of "I'm an [age something] student of [subject] in [region] working for intelligence, reform and acceptance in the Republican party."

Just like that.

No Oxford comma.

The next thing I knew, I was dragging my cursor away from the button which was now labelled "Follow."
