I feel evil. what kind of monster tells someone they can leave and then squishes them when they try. I shake my head at me.
Had a long conversation with a spider this morning about how creepy it was. we agreed that if it went away, I wouldn't kill it. It moved, I panicked, it's dead.

On urban legends

my favorite one is the chupacrabas.

the most incredulous, I don't know.

can I say people's beliefs are urban legends when they contradict who i am or the realities of my life
and do people REALLY belief these things or is it just a way to feel comfortable about doing wack shit

have you ever seen 30 days? it's this documentary show by Spurlock, the guy who did Supersize me. I saw this one episode that really pissed me off about gays and lesbians being allowed to adopt.
this lady who was against it moved in with a gay couple who had 4 adopted kids.

anyway the thing that kept pissing me off was that she was so incredibly offended. felt so attacked and offended by these guys because they wanted to raise those kids. And I think people I will encounter in my life will be so incredibly offended, feel so incredibly attacked by me. I am queer. I am an immigrant. there are people I will meet and who will be so incredibly offended by my existence.
maybe I'm the urban legend. Told at bedtime to scare kids straight.

Because I know she's real. I see her all the time. She makes laws that limit the rights of people. she makes flippant remarks about some minority and thinks they're ok to make because that minority is not present. She is more real than me. The system was created and caters to her

I wonder if urban legends feel that way. If they sit around telling stories about us and wonder how we could be so stupid
The chupacabras is probably writing a novel about how a creature can't walk up to a blood bank and withdraw food because everyone runs away scared from it or is always trying to beat it up.
how incredibly ignorant of us.

"we've always attempted to deny the extra-sensory
the stuff that challenges our perceptions and make us uncomfortable
not realizing that denial is a form of assimilation" -Brock

and I challenge people's perceptions and make them uncomfortable.

which part of me is real and which part is the urban legend.

on leviticus

Leviticus 18:22 says "Thou shall not lie with mankind as with womankind"

I'm an atheist. I don't believe there is a god. but on this one quote, speaking as a queer woman, I must agree that I will not lie with mankind as I lie with womankind.
