State Appeals Court Finds Florida's Law Banning Adoptions by Gays and Lesbians Unconstitutional

Article from The American Civil Liberties Union

I'm not a very well informed person - by choice, I assure you, but this is cool. I wrote a paper on transgender/transexual rights in my second year of college and I was a bit more up to date on this stuff. It's nice to know that change is happening and progress is being made.

Congrats, Florida and everyone who's affected by this.

I've done it before, but it's been a while. I'm going to try to survive the next 10+ hours on TWO hours of sleep (maybe less). The wedding is this weekend, a project is due in the next... hour, and (THANK GOD), I went to finish my painting last night and a fellow student informed me that's not due until tuesday, and not tomorrow! So I'll try to stay awake for class, go buy a dress for the rehearsal dinner and then come home and CRASH.

COFFEE!!?? WHERE ARE YOU WHEN I NEED YOU!?

Why do guys have awesome shoes with no female equivalent? I think it's unfair that a style of shoe (this style in particular) should be limited to the male sex. I also think they're bad-ass, but they're for men. Where's the love for the ladies?

( Guys, I can't even begin to tell you how bad this week has been. )

Edit: And no, I cannot decide what layout to use. Though, the one right now is pretty cool. I think I'll keep it.

I'm too depressed to even think about putting this under a cut. DEAL.

The sun is bright and fluttering 'neath the great oaks of my home
I wander, chase and dizzy myself in the daytime, soaking up the air

Who just bought the last Sherlock Holmes Literal Writer's Block: Ruyu did. Ha. I'm stupidly happy.

Ooh. That's a tough one.

Likes: Patience, Politeness, Insightful
Dislikes: Pessimistic, bluntness, socially awkward

I'm known for my patience, especially where I work when I deal with older people and confused customers. I just grin and bear it, they can't help it if there are problems. Things slide right off my shoulders and I'm not easily offended or angered unless you really mean to be hateful. My mother taught me and my sister traditional southern manners, Yes ma'am, No ma'am, respect your elders and all that. You'd be surprised how many children these days are missing those qualities. I'd like to think I'm insightful considering that I'm an artist and whatnot. I'm extremely sympathetic and understanding. I can easily imagine myself in your shoes and the struggles you must be facing. It's not pity, it's a mutual understanding of the human condition and it's trials, misfortunes and difficulties.

Likewise, I'm a BIG pessimist. But I justify that by telling people that I do my best thinking under pressure. I'm sure I'll regret this habit when I'm actual working under a serious deadline. I'm reliable to a degree, but don't ask me to do a commission, chances are you'll never see it completed. >.< As I'm sure you've heard me say before, I'm a blunt person. And while you may not notice it here on LJ, my family, friends and coworkers do. I am not afraid to say NO, but I do so politely. I don't always say what I think, but when I do it's pretty straightforward. Indecisive people get on my nerves, like my sister.

As for being socially awkward... well I'm on Livejournal, aren't I? XD

We're back! We ended up staying the night at the beach house. The wind was wicked and I think I'm sunburnt/wind-burnt. My Mom, her best friend, Sam and myself went to Lulu's to eat and I bought my mom her Mother's Day dinner. We did some random shopping in which I spent way too much money and then we bummed it out at the beach house until the sun went down. I enjoyed it. I bring you pictures. Enjoy.
