Happy Birthday to me!

Yes, yesterday I turned 31. And I'm proud of it.

Got this from Mim who picked itup from Nathania who got it from Norma.

1) Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, liposuction and air conditioning.

2) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.

3) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.

4) Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all; women are still property, blacks still can't marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.

5) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Britney Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.

6) Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn't be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren't full yet, and the world needs more children.

7) Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.

8) Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why we have only one religion in America.

9) Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That's why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.

10) Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven't adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans...
---Re-post this if you believe in legalizing gay marriage

I've been thinking about whether I am going to continue to be one of those knitbloggers who talks only about knitting. So far that's how my page has been. But I liked seeing this list so much on somebody else's knitblog that I thought I'd do as I was told and repost it, even if only for the benefit of my mother, the only person who faithfully reads my blog. I love you mom! Hi mom!

Hi, Abigail! It's so wonderful to meet another "stitchin seminarian" out there in the blogworld. Rest assured, you now have one more faithful reader. :-)

In answer to your question, yes, we do have a pretty large number of people who knit, but we're broken into smaller groups. Students, administration/staff/friends of administration and staff. The ballwinder is something that few of the students know about (but I'm spreading the word) and was put up by the VP of student affairs after she became addicted to fun fur. (We won't hold that against her.)
Happy blogging!
