RANT TIME~
Today I overheard a conversation that made me angry.
I was sitting there, reading Of Mice and Men out loud to myself (and giving all the characters different accents) because 1) I can concentrate better that way, and 2) I can effectively drown out other conversations I do not care about.
It was great until I paused at the end of this paragraph, and Loud Voiced Girl's loud freaking voice suddenly sounds out from across the table. She's talking to Nosy and Bossy Girl. I keep reading, but am warily listening to her. And this is what I remember:
LVG: If everyone was gay, we would not be here! We would all would die. Gay couples just do not work in society! We were built to not be gay! Children can't grow up with two gay parents. They need a balance! They need the X and the Y to function!
NBG: Really!
For real? This coming from the girl who doesn't think there's anything wrong with teen pregnancy.
Oh, I see. So it's okay for a heterosexual couple who may or may not be abusive/neglecting to raise a child, but with a gay couple who would probably treat them better, because they probably really WANT that child, it's out of the question?
Yeah. You're number one.
I'm almost suprised that people still think this way.
I wanted to butt into that conversation and be like "Really? Is that what you REALLY think?" But I didn't. If you knew this girl, you would know that she always says exactly what she thinks, even if nobody wants to hear it, and a big "FUCK YOU, STUPID" to anyone who thinks differently.
(But apparently this is an admirable personality trait to have. I don't know, as a regular every day normal person, I just find it annoying. She gets into random arguments a lot, yells all the time, and obviously thinks she's somehow better than most people. I wouldn't want to be like that. Then again, you know, I've been told on more than one occasion that I have no emotion/no personality. You can't exactly take my opinion as the word of the state.)
But she'd probably start a yelling match with me and that's something I super don't know how to handle.
Finally, I've always thought I was the kind of person to not judge people on what they believe. I was rather complacent on everything. If someone wants to believe something, sure, as long as they're not killing or harrassing people. But man. Any liking for her I had ever had, which was never much to begin with, has just decreased by 4000.
ALSO SPANISH IS MY FAVORITE LANGUAGE EVER TO LEARN. French was alright. IDK I can't exactly judge it because I was really young back then. Most of it I've forgotten now. Chinese is pretty cool, but super hard. But Spanish? It's so easy and fun! Our teacher is super cool! French helps me learn, except I don't say all my spanish words in a french accent like SOMEBODY I KNOW. Anyway, though. I really like learning spanish.
