Random things

[apocalypsos]

-- I just slept nine hours on a workday. It's no wonder I'm not getting any goddamn writing done. *headdesk*

-- Response to Ed Koch's endorsement of Obama and problems with Palin. Wow, some people are ... um, special.

-- In May, after the California State Supreme Court ruled same-sex marriage legal, the courts mandated state officials to provide gender-neutral licenses and other marriage forms. "Bride" and "groom" became "Party A" and "Party B."

[Rachel] Bird and [Gideon] Codding have refused to complete the new forms, a stand that has already cost them.

... oh, grow the hell up, you fucking children. (Oh, sorry, I don't know where that came from. *innocent face*)

-- People keep sending Annie Proulx Brokeback Mountain AU fanfic with happy endings. Way to not get the point of the story, dumbasses.

-- I may be the only one who never really likes those, "If you see this, post a quote from [insert fandom here]," memes. Meh. *shrugs*

-- Dear readers, I have had a shocking and dramatic change of heart. John McCain and Sarah Palin have convinced me that overturning Roe v. Wade is a magnificent idea and we must pursue it at once. YES. THIS.

-- Only one week until new laptop! \o/

(Okay, two if I decide to splurge on a nicer one. Then again, maybe I'll get some cash for my birthday and that'll help.)

if you FEEL like a bride and groom, then you are.

actually, once the ceremony's done, you're husband and wife, so I'm pretty sure they can fuck off.

that's a very good point.

Other way round, I think -- once you've got that marriage license, you're married in the eyes of the state, and from that point it doesn't matter if you have a big church wedding or exchange made-up vows standing barefoot on a beach with some guy with a certificate from an internet-based church officiating. (I don't know how the state of California deals with common-law marriages, that being how the state handles relations between a reasonably committed couple who may even refer to themselves as married but just haven't done the paperwork to make it legal.)
