The unthinkable has happened...
Jun. 8th, 2009 | 12:14 pm
The economy has struck that who we previously believed to untouchable.
The Doctor
It's true! His TARDIS had to be downgraded, and I saw it!
Well, mostly this is because I saw a bright purple port-a-potty sitting on an intersection in the outskirts of town, where there are no sidewalks, no construction, no nothing that could indicate why there was a bright, vibrant port-a-potty sitting there... Completely out of place and arbitrary, but only if it's a port-a-potty!
If it's a TARDIS, however, it makes perfect sense!
(Les thought that he just finally got his Chameleon circuit fixed and chose something relevant to the time and area.

It has claimed another!
Jun. 1st, 2009 | 09:18 pm
I admit... I'm a very, very sick bastard for thinking about it in this way, but still...
You know about the fact that a recent Air France jet has vanished over the mid-Atlantic, well... It's location was near something "important..."
For the first time this Millennium... The Bermuda Triangle has claimed another victim.
And for some odd reason, that makes the supernaturalist in me giddy, despite over 200 people dying.
But I mean seriously, the Bermuda triangle strikes again!

Birthday!
Jan. 6th, 2009 | 01:14 pm
It's my birthday today! I am a whole 22!
Fun stuff. Worked from 8-1, and now I"m having lunch at home before I head off to the parents for the "party" or whatnot. Mostly just a few friends over, and pizza and mebbie a movie. Hopefully I don't get snowed in, but if I do, I'll still be online, even if it's the dreaded 56k....
One thing that I'm hoping that I'll get (that's actually likely) is a double edge safety razor. I know I have a beard, but I also have to shave my cheeks and neck, and I have incredibly sensitive skin. I already have a nice shave brush that makes an incredibly rich lather in no time flat, and if I get a nice double edge, that'll make shaving very nice on my skin, even if tricky.
Though I'm secretly really hoping for a new hard drive. My current one is a mere 74 gigs, and I'm constantly having to delete games in order to install new ones... games that I still like and might play, but I have no room.
Next year will be a nifty one, it's the year that I technically become an "independant" legal adult.
It's odd how that works... They say you're an adult at 18, but you're not allowed to drink until 21, and if you don't marry or go into the military, you're still considered under your parent's wings until 23, no matter if you live on your own and pay all your own bills.....
Will you just make up your mind on what makes an adult, society?
Don't let this "rant" fool you... I'm really in a wonderful mood! Yay birthday!

Waking up beside the one you love...
Last night, it was grand. We spent much of the evening in a rather exciting roleplay, (no, not like that. Text based, on the comp). Then, a nice, relaxing bath before heading to bed. There were cuddles, but I evidently passed out very, very swiftly.
I woke up at about 3, came back, and just snuggled back in. When I woke up at 7 this morning.... We were snuggled up, and entwined...
It's rather hard to sleep entwined... But somehow we were, and nobodies limb was asleep... Well, the alarm went off, and it was determined that Les wouldn't try to make it to the 9am class, (too snowy), and so she set the alarm for 9:15 for the 11:00 class. That was the best little 2 hour nap ever... We were cuddling so warm, and I had such wonderful dreams, and I woke up in her arms....
*chirr*
It was a truly, truly good morning, I must say, even if I had to say goodbye for the week. But I at least had such a cuddle afterglow that I was content.

I'm surprisingly content
Nov. 5th, 2008 | 10:50 am
With the results of the election.
I was a rather strong supporter of Sarah Palin, and thus voted for McCain. She's got her faults, she's not very experienced in foreign policy, but she's very, very down to earth and practical. Especially with her fiscal conservatism.
However... I'm rather content with Obama winning.
Why? Because of the congress we have right now. The Democrats now have to be accountable. Would McCain win, then our kid-with-a-credit-card congress would be foolish, pandering, and useless once more, and be able to shift the blame to the oval office, and we'd all hate McCain for a craptastic congress. (Like the last 8 years. In all honesty, Bush was merely a scapegoat to a horrid congress. Learn how the government works, presidents don't have that much power)
Now, we have a horrid, immature, politicking Democrat congress, and we have a Democrat prez. Now, if (and hopefully not when) everything goes to hell in a handbasket, there is no way that they can blame a conservative.
Now, finally, democrats have to be accountable for their actions.
And I'm glad of that.
I have one of the few jobs that benefits from a recession, and though things may be a touch hard, they'll be no harder than the last few years of me living on my own. So if the economy goes to hell in a handbasket, then I know I'll do fine. May be hard, but I'll do fine. Even if we fall into a catastrophic full collapse, my parents own 13 acres, and our family can congeal there and make a bit of an old fasioned farming commune.
For me, the future is bright, or at least not dark.
I'm content.

Politics
Aug. 29th, 2008 | 12:07 pm
You know... I now have real faith for the presidential election this year.
John McCain has declared Sarah Palin to be his Vice Presidential Candidate.
I can't stand Obama, and looking at McCain, he is barely better in policies, and I must admit I was strongly considering not voting, because I won't vote for the lesser evil. (I had almost wanted Obama to be president, because he'd mess up the country enough to open people's eyes)
However, I would so very vote for Palin to be prez in a heartbeat. I honestly only heard about her today, but looking up her policies and whatnot, she kicks ass! (Forgive my tongue).
She is the Governer of Alaska, so has real executive experience. She is a real conservative, down to earth, and doesn't just talk. She does. She supports traditional marriage, however adamantly fights against discrimination of homosexuals. She's a very strong feminist, but isn't in the least bit anti-male. She doesn't just talk about supporting the troops, she sent her son to Iraq.
Heck, she doesn't just talk about cutting pork-barrel spending. The previos governer had purchased a private jet to get around with, and one of the first things she did was put it for sale on ebay. She's actively fighting the crazy environmentalists who are preventing Alaska from doing anything to support it'self, such as them trying to declare polar bears as a threatened species, despite the fact that their population has been growing for the past thirty years.
She was preganant, and the doctors told her her baby would be down syndrome, and reccomended abortion. She said no, and when they wanted to do more tests to see what else might be wrong, she told them not to. Now she's raising a happy, healthy, down syndrome boy. (No, that's not an oxymoron) She actually listens to the people, rather than special interest groups.
She is an athlete, she hunts,
She is a patriot, a fiscal conservative, a strong Christian, open minded...
I want her as Prez, not VP... But I now have real, strong incentive to vote McCain this fall. Not for him, but for her.

mood: 
Startled
I... I was very startled yesterday...
Got home from work, and had the door open, and was surfing the interwebs before I went to school.
I heard the lawnmower outside, which was odd because they usually don't mow at 5pm. But the mower got louder. And louder.
And louder than it woudl be if I were standing next to it.
And louder.
And louder....
And it was getting very windy...
Confused, I went outside, and lo and behold...
THERE'S A HELICOPTER LANDING IN THE PARKING LOT!
Not a medical Helicopter, even... Just the owner of the apartment complex (And evidently many many complexes in Indiana, Ohio and Michigan).
Just the owner, wanting to check up on his peons... And did he drive his Lambo? His Rolls Royce? Nope!
He just landed his helicopter in the middle of the complex.

I don't want it to be secret anymore...
Jul. 28th, 2008 | 11:48 pm
mood: 
worried
I... It's been exactly 4 months since we got married... Wow...
We got married on March 28th, in a secret little ceremony, only us, the minister, and 2 guests. It was very, very nifty.. very heartfelt, very real.
Unfortunately, we can't get a marriage license, because that is an extreme financial and legal hassle that we can't do. Not... Not the normal legal stuff. I mean, we can live alone, on our combined incomes just fine. Well, fine enough. We'd have a bit of the Sonny and Cher thing going on, but we would have eachother. In fact, that's how we had been living, and that's how we have been living since then.
Except... For us... We would both lose our scholarships, and she would lose her health insurance. She's not needed to tap into it as of recent, but she has enough chronic health issues that we NEED that backup.
And so, we didn't let Uncle Sam know about it.
We also don't let our parents know about it, because it would likely get back to her mom, and she would throw a complete fit and possibly disown her. (Huh... That might be nice...)
However... I don't want to hide it anymore... I want to tell everyone that we're married.. I want to let everyone know the good news... I want to tell Mom and Dad not to be worried about Leslie spending so much time sleeping over at my apartment...
I'm just scared... I'm very scared... We're both scared. Leslie is terrified that they won't acknowledge it as real, that without the license we're basically doing a fancy version of what many Christian kids do to justify pre-marital sex, the whole "We're married in the eyes of God". I'm scared that they'll try to force us to get a marriage license. That could very well kill Leslie. Literally. She'll lose her insurance with her Dad, and it's very hard to get a person with chronic health issues insured under an independant insurance company.
I want so much to tell the good news to my friends and family, but we're scared that Mom and Dad won't take it well... I think Mom would take it best, which is why we're planning on visiting her on Friday during the day, and tell her when she's home and Dad's not. Get her to accept it (hopefully) so that she can convince Dad to.
I just.... Please pray for us that it goes well. I'm sure it won't go terrible (No disownment) but I don't want it to go poorly... I don't want to tell them the good news and have them be upset...
Please pray...

Wow! EEEEEE!!!!
Jul. 18th, 2008 | 11:30 am
I saw Dark Knight! It were amazing!
I have to say... With all my fears about a gay cowboy as the Joker...
Heath Ledger truly did the performance of his lifetime in his final movie.
The new joker had me laughing at many times, but had me shuddering in horror many other.
I know many will hate me for saying this, but Jack Nicholson has nothing on this man. Even Mark Hamill probably couldn't pull off a Joker as perfect for this continuity as him. *dodges thrown veggies*
Ledger's Joker just fit so perfectly with the more gritty world of the Chris Nolan Batman. He is so freaking creepy, so dark and twisted, yet at the same time, you very, very clearly get the sense that the character is a lighthearted psychopath who's just having fun. He doesn't do this for money, he doesn't do this for any principle... He just wants to watch the world burn from the chaos he inspires, and roast marshmallows in the flames.
The Joker also so perfectly sets himself up as Batman's arch nemesis. Gets into his head far more than any other villain could... It's a shame he won't be returning in any more movies...
It's just an amazing movie, I suggest anyone with the spare cash to see it ASAP!
And I feel so sorry for the people at the other big theater in town... They had a bomb threat, and had to evacuate... And couldn't watch the movie.
Edit: I just found out it's even worse! The bomb threat was called in at 1 am! They were an hour into the movie when they had to evacuate!

Top 100 books thingy
Jun. 25th, 2008 | 01:10 pm
The Big Read reckons that the average adult has only read 6 of the top 100 books they've printed. Well let's see.
1) Look at the list and bold those you have read.
2) Italicise those you intend to read.
3) Underline the books you LOVE.
4) Reprint this list in your own LJ so we can try and track down these people who've read 6 and force books upon them ;-)

I ar a gud husband
Jun. 8th, 2008 | 09:37 am
Odd that I don't see myself as the husbandly sort. In our marriage, I seem to take more of the classic role of the wife, (albiet a working one), though I only scored a 50 as a wife. (I think it's because I don't like kids and can't sew very well)

On Prejudice and "Racism"
Apr. 17th, 2008 | 11:34 am
No... Not a "sexy" update, or even a humorous one
Another "deep" one that I've thought of...
Prejudice against cultures. Now... Many people nowadays have been forced to believe that they are racist. I know I'm one of them, one to be thinking. "I try so hard not to be racist..." But alas, I can't help but think negative of the "black culture" or the Mexican immigrant... And I'm sure there are many good people who try so hard not to be racist, but can't help think negative of other cultures.
But that's the thing. It's not race they're prejudice against. It's culture.
And that, my friends, is a completely different cup of tea.
Racism ( rā-ˌsi-zəm ) noun

But alas, I can't help but think negative of the "black culture" or the Mexican immigrant... And I'm sure there are many good people who try so hard not to be racist, but can't help think negative of other cultures.
But that's the thing. It's not race they're prejudice against. It's culture.
And that, my friends, is a completely different cup of tea.
Racism ( rā-ˌsi-zəm ) noun
1 : a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race
2 : racial prejudice or discrimination
The thing is, Racism is based on that. Race. And race is merely the color of your skin, and the general shape of your skull/body. That is it. If you were to be prejudice against someone merely because of their race, that is wrong...
Being prejudice based on your very initial perception of their clothes, demeanor, and manner of speaking, however... That can be very different. You can often identify the culture that individual belongs to, and cultures tell a lot about a person.
A culture generally has a similar "moral code" for all those in it , a similar way to do things, a similar upbringing...
Take for instance "Black culture". Now, most people would have you think, especially due to the name, that the criteria for being in the "black culture" is color of skin, and therefore anyone with prejudices against black culture is a racist.
But... How often do you hear of black people ostracized from the "black culture" because they're not "black" enough? Quite a lot, I'm afraid.
No, "black culture" is much less definable by color of the skin, and much more by culture. Generally accepted to be lower middle class, underprivileged people.. It is accepted that they have a particular way of speaking, it is accepted they have a particular way of dress. Anybody who does not fit the mold of "black" as defined by the black culture, is ostracized for being "not black enough". If you become a financial success, if you lose your accent, if you cease to be that which defines the "black culture" you are no longer "black." Has your skin color changed? No, merely your culture.
So, the next time you see a black person with an oversize jersey and sagging pants swagger into the restaurant you're in, and you're set on edge... You're not racist, don't worry.
Now, people might say, "It's just as bad to be prejudice against cultures as race" but they're wrong. Cultures are part of what define who you are, really. Race isn't who you are, but what you look like. Culture... Culture is very much who you are, and it is perfectly acceptable to dislike a person for who they are.
In fact, prejudice against culture has long been accepted. Perfectly normal. For an extreme example, if you saw a skinhead with swastika's tattooed all over him, you would instantly dislike the fellow, without getting to know him. And that is acceptable, because the Nazi Skinhead culture is inherently a hate filled violent culture. Nobody would call you racist against whites for disliking that fellow, even if you were black. On a less violent note, If you saw an overweight, unshaven fellow with a pornographic furry t-shirt, you probably wouldn't be eager to get to know him, as he seems to be part of the yiffy aspect of the furry fandom.
That is perfectly normal and every day cultural prejudice.
If a culture is known for being/doing/encouraging something you don't like, and you see someone who is obviously a member of that culture, it is not wrong to initially dislike them.
The key word is initially. While culture is very, very much part of what defines who you are. It is only a part. You must always truly judge someone based on who they are completely. Yes, it is normal and acceptable to have an initial dislike of someone based on their culture, but always keep yourself open to get to know the rest of them. You will find many, many decent people in cultures you dislike, and though you may always dislike that part about them, they may become one of your most trusted friends.
My bottom line? It is perfectly normal to be prejudice based on culture. It is not racism. But don't let your initial impression ruin the possibility of friendship.

My last week as a "bachelor"
Mar. 25th, 2008 | 09:51 am
That's right... I'm getting married on Friday.
Oh epic win for life! I'm so giddy!
It's going to be a short, simple ceremony, and we will make sure to have Gina take a lot of pictures.
The ceremony will incorporate a collaring ceremony in with the wedding. And all 3 guests (counting the minister) either know and understand our D/s(2) or are D/s themselves(1). First we shall have a little collaring ceremony with a couple nifty poems, then we shall have a "standard" vow exchanging, then the minister (Mrs. Betchall) shall bless the wedding.
She's really only there for that purpose. We didn't need her to guide or officiate it, as it isn't a formal wedding. We are marrying ourselves, but we have her there to witness and bless the wedding, which we thought would be right. Else wise it just felt like the cheap "In our eyes we are married" type of thing. Now we actually have a minister to say that yes, we ARE married in the eyes of God.
In other news.... If all goes well! I only have four days of virginity left!
Wooo!

True love is...
Mar. 12th, 2008 | 12:15 am
mood: amused
True love is...
Staying in the same bed as a person with rancid gas.
Not just me... Not just her.. Many times over the last few months...
The only time we've been driven out is when the farter is even driven out by their own stink.
I know. TMI.
Major TMI.
Sorry. ^.^
