Just The Way You Are.

NEW ZEALAND HAS LEGALIZED SAME-SEX MARRIAGE!! Go, New Zealand! You’ll always be my favorite. They now join the ranks of the Netherlands (all the way back in 2001), Argentina, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Iceland, Norway, Portugal, South Africa, Spain and Sweden.

Here is an article from The Guardian that features an uplifting video of the ( Read more... )

I'm angry that our country is lagging behind the land that lived under APARTHEID when it comes to legalizing gay marriage.

I love your Rob Lowe story! (I bet it was him.)

You better be here at age 54! I will be 68 about to turn 69 and I bet I will still be writing and needing wacky ideas!

My thoughts exactly! South Africa is the big one that threw me for a loop on that list. I mean, to be honest, when I heard that New Zealand had legalized same-sex marriage, my reaction was, "Huh. They didn't have that already?" because they seem like a pretty progressive country and I could have sworn they already had it over there. I'm really thrilled that we have added another country to the list but it does make me go 'ugh' because here we are with all our power and influence and modern way of life, and our politicians keep wasting a lot of money trying to stop people who love each other from getting married.

I love your Rob Lowe story! (I bet it was him.)

Rob is not someone that I normally am like, "Omg!!!" over, but he was so fucking cute on Craig the other night and their talk was very interesting. (I bet it was him too! If not Rob, then one of those other Brat Pack kids, probably Charlie Sheen!)

I think our elected officials only care (or pretend to care) what people think until they are elected. And then they're incumbents and it takes a freakin' miracle or some astonishingly dirty laundry to get rid of them, so they can do whatever stupid shit they want.

Ooh, yeah. Charlie Sheen IS a good bet for that kind of thing. You know, when I catch Ferris Bueller's Day Off, I'm AMAZED at how pretty Sheen used to be. Prettier by far than either his dad or brother!

I didn't think I'd make it past 35 either, but not because I had people telling me so or because of health issues. It was because I grew up having nuclear bomb drills in elementary school, and seeing Cold War tensions every day until the Wall came down. (At least, that was how it felt.)

Charlie Sheen was very pretty, wasn't he? That man could wear eyeliner like nobody's business. The only option for 'worst patron at the club' that I could come up with that might beat out Rob or Charlie, was Dennis Leary. His 80s escapades put even Craig to shame.

It was because I grew up having nuclear bomb drills in elementary school, and seeing Cold War tensions every day until the Wall came down.

That's insane. I can't imagine being a kid and living with that kind of terror.

Oh, my lord. That NZ video made me cry.

Oh, my lord. That NZ video made me cry.

Right? Big beautiful tears, darling. I literally felt a warmth rush through my body - that was unreal and amazing. Go New Zealand!

Rob said he has been sober for 23 years. . . . I just had to start clapping. Because that is amazing that is pretty amazing. I can remember what a waste I made of my teens, and weirdly enough, pregnant at 20 probably saved me from a serious problem. And you! You are doing so great yourself you know. *beams*

five years ago, in the worst of it, I couldn’t even imagine being alive at the age of 54. And now, I can. *hugs* oh bb, I sincerely hope you make it another 23 years and are still cranking out the porn!

gods, in 23 years I'll be 60! that seems so old! lol

Thank goodness for The Boy for so many reasons then! I think my cousin had that same thing - he was doing cocaine and at about 22 his girl got pregnant and he really cleaned his shit up then. Otherwise, I doubt he'd be here.

And you! You are doing so great yourself you know. *beams*

Thank you. It's weird right now, because I have a friend who has a family member going through the same thing I went through with pain pills and abuse, and in complete denial of it, and every time my friend tells me the latest in the saga it is like watching my own life through a video rewind, or seeing how it was for everyone else on the outside of it. It's very strange. But I'm coming up on 3 years and 4 months soon, so I'm still trudging along!

*hugs* oh bb, I sincerely hope you make it another 23 years and are still cranking out the porn!LOL I like to joke that I'll be the only little old lady in the nursing home ( ... )
