                <description><![CDATA[ Okay, so I normally don't post this sort of thing on DA...but this was hilarious! Give it a read, you'll laugh. Enjoy!<br /><br /><br />IN SUPPORT OF GAY MARRIAGE<br /><br /><br />1) Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, liposuction and air conditioning.<br /><br />2) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />7) Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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...<br /><br />Copied from <a href="http://bluenephelim.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/b/l/bluenephelim.jpg?1" alt=":iconbluenephelim:" title="bluenephelim"/></a>.

                <description><![CDATA[ I've started writing again.  I'm so scattered when it comes to writing my books.  I've started so many and have only finished one.  And the one I've finished I still need to go back a do some tweaking before I try and submit to a publisher.  I'm not even too sure if anyone will publish my stories--guess in the end I don't care too much.  I can always use an online publisher, not much money, but then again, I'm not doing it for money....but fame would be nice.  XD<br /><br />Oh, and the book I finished will be dedicated to a certain kitteh I know who encouraged me to finish it.  Thank you so much!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

I love my new house.  *hugs the stairs*  I also just got a new computer; waiting to do some final configurations for my wacom tablet so I can start doing art again.  <br /><br />Sorry for dropping off the radar again, please forgive or hate me as you please. <br /><br />My big art project is doing up watercolor illustrations for my mate's children's book.  ^^<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I've been thinking about something for a while.  I watch a lot of great artists, so I'm going to do up a journal (or try) every week/other week about why I watch a particular artist.  I'm going to post in Alphabetical order and switch up b/n Fur Affinity and Deviant Art.  I'll set up links to some of their best work (or just my favorite XD) from them!<br /><br />So let me start with: Ahkahna from FA (<a href="http://www.furaffinity.net/user/ahkahna/">[link]</a>).  So I just discovered Ahkahna was an admin...not the reason why I was watching.   I love, love, love the job on the banner back in May.  I love the painter sketches: <a href="http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1410744/">[link]</a> and <a href="http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1410372/.">[link]</a>  <br /><br />So yeah, one down and a bunch more to go!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Would any of you mind if I posted some adult sketches?  If any of you do, please speak up.  If so I'll post 'em under a different name.  Another question: does anyone know if you post something under a strict warning label if you can't see if you aren't logged in?<br /><br />All input is welcomed and appreciated.  Thanks!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, one of ~<a class="u" href="http://siliconfoxx.deviantart.com/">siliconfoxx</a>'s friends said I might be able to pull off the joker look.  I tried it out. Now granted I should have wore something different, and the red isn't red enough, but overall it freaked the foxx out and he took some pictures.  <a href="http://siliconfoxx.deviantart.com/art/Joker-1-93023638">[link]</a><br /><br /> ]]></description>
