wear me like a locket around your throat

my friend just texted me this and i am lolling.

some girl in the front row had a shirt on that said THE Mrs Cook so he said i'll be spurning the advances of the young lady who said the night before she was the Mrs David Cook, so someone yells out I'll marry you any day of the week, he goes 'well you're all gonna have to fight Neal, he's kinda into me'

hee! BOYS. ♥

also, i have been ogling tour pictures like a motherfucker; there will be picspam later, oh yes. XD

ETA: aha, video of that text story! it's right at the beginning. i wish you could see neal!

i just watched milk and sobbed like a baby.

what an absolutely wonderful, sweet, funny, inspiring and heartbreaking story.

my heart. ;___;

in which david cook likes ani difranco, does not like prop 8.

i want to write an entry about prop 8. and about amendment 2. and about the other bullshit anti-equality bans that were passed in arizona and arkansas.

but i can't do it. i'm too sad about it. all it would amount to is a bunch of me being naive, i guess, and just not understanding it.

prop 8 hurts the worst, i think, because it's not just refusing to grant a right (which frankly, shouldn't even be up for discussion, as far as i'm concerned, and why the public at large gets a say in this is fucking beyond me), but it's taking away a right that was given. a right to love, and family, and equality. a right that was celebrated, and cherished, and exercised. and that people stood there and said no, let's take it away? just. i honestly have no words. i told you i can't write an entry about it.

i've been in a heterosexual relationship for five years. we've never even talked about getting married, much to my mother's dismay. i'm not saying that we never will. if he asked, i'd say yes, i think. but the fact that he and i could easily go "eh, fuck it, let's get married" while other couples across the country want so desperately to make that commitment, to stand up together and say "yes, you and i, forever," are forbidden to do so? it blows my mind. and it breaks my heart.

i'm so happy that we elected barack obama as president. honestly, i don't care that he's black one way or the other, and the reasons i wanted him to be elected had everything to do with the man himself and nothing at all to do with the color of his skin. however, i absolutely, fully appreciate that this is a watershed moment for our country, and i'm thrilled, make no mistake. progress is a beautiful thing; we had friends over last night who got married in september, and after the election was called, she said "our kids will grow up with a black president." and we all beamed because it means something so much bigger than that about the america, and about the world, in which their children will grow up.

and it's amazing, and it's progress, and it's a wonderful beginning.

but i want their kids to grow up with equality for all, black, white, asian, hispanic, blue state, red state, christian, muslim, jew, gay, straight...all americans. all of them. anything less is unacceptable. and i know we'll get there; while i hope it's sooner than later, i truly believe it'll happen eventually. to quote our next president, "yes, we can." and we will.

to all of my friends who are hurting today, gay, straight, or otherwise: i love you. ♥

if you're not watching true blood (which, wtf, you should be), you should at least watch this video and experience the glory of lafayette, who is both super shiny gay and also pretty much the biggest badass in bon temps. hot stuff bbs! this is NSFW, language-wise.

i can has new otp? i really do not care about sports, but david wright is such a hotass and one of the only athletes in which i have even a vague interest. (also, he and dcook have the exact same birthday. ooooooh.)


DC: "david actually reached out to me towards the end of the [idol] season, really wanted to try to help out to get my older brother out to the finale and stuff, really reached out and he was cool, and then reached out very recently to invite me out today."

DW: "as far as celebrities go, i think he's right at the top of the list as far as coming out here and putting on a good show."

dcook approves.
