Yet anoher meme... this is what one does when one is sick, dontcha know

A. List seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself.
B. Tag seven people to do the same.
C. Do not tag the person who tagged you or say that you tag "whoever wants to do it".

#1 I cry at the drop of a hat, seriously. A sad book, a happy book, babies, kittens, a sad movie, a happy movie, if i get angry, if I get happy, if I'm reminded of something emotional, looking at photo albums. I may not all out weep, but there will definitely be tears.

#2 When I first met Neil Gaiman I was about to donate blood, now every time I see a blood donation unit I have a recall of the first time I met him. So every time I donate blood I think of Neil... it's a bit morbid, but so very apropos.

#3 I now have two Harry Potter House Scarves, one for Gryffindor and the other for Slytherin. I plan on knitting two more, one for Hufflepuff and one for Ravenclaw.

#4 I used to write Star Trek Fanfic, and on occasion still write a few scenes with the characters I created for my own fun.

#5 I'm one of the few people among my friends that really gets along and enjoys the company of their parents, families etc. And I always find so sad that I'm a rare specimen in this familiar phenomena.

#6 I'm the youngest of four siblings, I'm also the youngest "cousin" of the close family in the country. I'm starting University next month and I still feel seven years old sometimes.

#7 I share a birthday with my favourite cousin and his grandfather (my great-uncle, who is my surrogate grandfather since my one grandfather dies before I was born, and the other one died when I was around two, so I never got to know him).

Tagging - this being a meme and it's supposed to change with every person, I am not tagging seven people those who want to do it, do it, those who don't observe to odd obsession of those who do *smirk*.

In addition, the genocide in Darfur must be stopped.

Homophobia is Wrong!

Beacause like amazon_x,agentslash,arion_druid,tawny_7, richmondhillgal and eumelia, I think homophobia is wrong.


I am the girl kicked out of her home because I confided in my mother that I am a lesbian.

I am the prostitute working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman.

I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled nights.

We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time.

I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room.

I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from the two fathers who are the only loving family I have ever had. I wish they could adopt me.

I am one of the lucky ones, I guess. I survived the attack that left me in a coma for three weeks, and in another year I will probably be able to walk again.

I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear.

We are the couple who had the realtor hang up on us when she found out we wanted to rent a one-bedroom for two men.

I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me.

I am the mother who is not allowed to even visit the children I bore, nursed, and raised. The court says I am an unfit mother because I now live with another woman.

I am the domestic-violence survivor who found the support system grow suddenly cold and distant when they found out my abusive partner is also a woman.

I am the domestic-violence survivor who has no support system to turn to because I am male.

I am the father who has never hugged his son because I grew up afraid to show affection to other men.

I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that.

I am the man who died when the paramedics stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual.

I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a much better person if I didn’t have to always deal with society hating me.

I am the man who stopped attending church, not because I don't believe, but because they closed their doors to my kind.

I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most, love.

Repost this if you think homophobia is wrong. Add your name or username to the list at the top and repost, email it on...

Note: I remember posting this not long after I started my LJ and thought this was a great way to raise awareness to an issue that really isn't local and affects us all and all the time.
