(no subject)
Ugh. I am so bored @ work right now. The fact that I would be immediately terminated if they found out I knew how to bypass their lil' security system on the computer adds a LITTLE bit of excitment to my day tho, I'm not gunna' lie.
When I'm out and about I think about all these things that I want to write about in my journal and then when I'm sitting here dry rotting to my chair...I can't think of shit. But that's life.
This lady that I work with came in to relieve me form my post for a 10 min. break (she's the rover)...when she walked in she saw a newspaper article on the ground about gay marriage and before I could stop her she was on her soapbox about how repulsively gross, immoral and illogical gay marriage/relationships were in general. Part of me wanted to jump in and say that I was a lesbian so that she would (like most homophobes do) backtrack her statements and begin to sugar coat her opion because I was there and we would move on to some 'on the surface' fake topic.
When she stopped for a breath (45 mins. later) I couldn't bring myself to do it. It's not that I'm ashamed of it but she had said SO many things bad about homosexuality- I knew that if she knew she was talking to a lesbian, she would be ABSOLUTELY mortified and I wanted to spare her. Why? I dunno? Why is it that she can say that many things bashing my lifestyle but I couldn't just say that I was gay? Happens alot to me with older people, I keep finding myself not telling some people because they're old and I don't think they'll get it. I really hope deep down it's a respect issue and not a conformity one. Ugh.
Either way....she had SOME good points, I disagreed in an extremely vague, open minded kinda' way and then she left. I was NOT happy with myself.
