and the rest is silence...
Today was Day of Silence '06...I'm still not talking, but i intend to break my silence at 3pm with a quick call to LGC because I have to work at 5 anyway, and waiting on tables would be really hard without the use of talking.
I would just like to express the fact that I am thouroughly disgusted with people on this day every year. I find that a lot of people think its stupid to be silent because they feel that nothing is accomplished. The only thing its trying to accomplish is for people like them to notice. As I walk through the hallways, I literally feel the pain of not being able to speak, when there are so many things that I want to say. My silence doesn't mock the oppression of lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transgender human beings, nor does it mean that I'm gay. It's not a game to me. I don't care if it is to you. Fuck off. My silence mirrors that of those who can't speak. You try to shut up every once in a while. For some people it would be damn near impossible to go two seconds without screaming useless things out. So what if someone all of a sudden made it physically impossible for you to speak? I could get gorey, but I'll save you the drama. What if you literally were unable to talk. Imagine the frustration. There are people in this world who are unable to say the things they want because society wouldn't except it...it would be pointless. Obviously! I spend one day trying to make a point and all I get is people trying to mess me up and make me speak.
Like I said before...ITS NOT A GAME. ITS NOT A BET. It's a vow. A vow to those who can't speak...letting them know that people who don't even know them would listen...would speak with them.
I'm sick and tired of people making me dance around just so they can understand me. How stupid are they? Don't they get the fucking point?
Plus the fact that everyother person had to remind me that I was like the only one at wi hi in silence because we didn't know about it. I just found out about it at 11pm last night...and I still decided to go for it. I know Slurpie participated, and the other schools had a much larger number. I'd like to thank anyone who participated for sticking by a cause that most people are too lazy to consider.
And for all of you who told me I was the only one who did it...google "Day of Silence".
"Just imagine: tens of thousands of students, from San Francisco, California to Irmo, South Carolina, united in a visible silence to create real change in local schools. Whether used to educate classmates on the damaging effects of anti-LGBT bullying and harassment or to demand passage of a statewide nondiscriminatory act inclusive of LGBT people, the Day of Silence® is an awesome opportunity to create more inclusive school environments and make some noise."
I learn and discover so many things every year I participate...and I look foward to participating for as many years as I can.
Thanks to those of you that supported me...
