The Senate on Wednesday rejected a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage, dealing an embarrassing defeat to President Bush and Republicans who hoped to use the measure to energize conservative voters on Election Day.

*dances*

At work, the guy who'd been bothering me apologized. If he sticks with that attitude, I might let him live. ;-)

I also heard some new country song called "That Girl is a Cowboy". Not too awful, especially compared to some of the other stuff I hear on that station (just don't get me started on "Have You Forgotten". *whimper*). Has a male singer praising the stereotypically-male attributes of his best friend, singing 'when I need a friend, she's the guy I call'. Listening to it, I decided that I'll now eagerly await the companion piece, called "That Man is a Girlfriend", with a female singer praising the stereotypically-female attributes of her best friend. I will not, however, hold my breath.

Might get some publishing-type stuff worked on today. Kath, if I gather up a list of literary agents and send them to you along with the material they want, are you okay with printing the stuff off and mailing it, or should I just bite the bullet and try to find a good printer? :-)

I wish someone would write that song. I, for one, love "girly" drinks and it would be great if there wasn't a stigma associated with drinking them.

The gay marriage amendment vote actually represents progress -- fewer people voted for it this time round. Actually, I wish government would stay out of marriage altogether, for any kind of couple. If everyone had civil unions and marriage is specifically a social/religious construct, we could all stop arguing about it.

Yeah . . . I mean, it's all well and good that being a 'tomboy' is basically approved of now, but I'd really appreciate it if my gender wasn't used as an insult anymore.

Hear hear. :-)
