01) Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.

02) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.

03) 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.

04) 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.

05) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Britany Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.

06) 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.

07) Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.

08) 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.

09) 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.

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.

I've got several, mostly in french (such a poetic language ^^)

*I'll n'y a pas de hônte à être heureux (there's no shame in being happy)

*Qui sème le vent récolte la tempête (He who plants the wind will harvest the storm)

*On ne voit bien qu'avec le coeur. l'essenciel est invisible pour les yeux. (You see best with your heart. That which is most important is invisible to the eyes)

*Mendokusai (troublesome (japanese)- It's just so much fun to say ^^)

*gato (cat (spanish) - Another fun word to say. Gatogatogatogatogatogato XD)

OOh and a final one I just LOVE saying when someone's making up excuses ^^ :

*Les excuses sont fait pourque les idiots les croirent (Excuses are made for the fools to believe them)

Or when someone is saying something stupid:

*Les idiots on repondent qu'avec le silence. (Idiots will be answered only with silence)

"Vrouw Holle" (Madam Holle) and "Zwervertje de heksenkat" (Wanderer, the witch cat)

Vrouw Holle is a German fairy tale about a girl living with her stepmother and sister who abuse her (classic cinderella scenario)
One day she sits by the well and accidently gets blood on the spindle.

Fearing a beating she tries to wash off the blood but due to the water being low she drops in the well and falls into a wonderous field full of flowers, an oven with breads that call to her to get them out before they burn and a tree full of apples that call to her to pick em before they hit the ground.

She takes out the breads and picks the apples and is invited in by an ugly old woman (Vrouw Holle) who promises her a good life in exchange for help around the house, especially to shake up her bed covers every day so it can snow on earth.

The girl lives happily with Vrouw Holle but gets home-sick after awhile and asks permission to go home.
Vrouw Holle gives her back her spindle and guides her to a door that will lead her home.

As soon as the door closes a rain of gold drops down on her, covering her completely.

When she arrives home, her mother is glad to see her but her sister is jealous and wants a golden dress for herself.
The next morning the sister throws a spindle into the well and dives after it, landing in the wonderworld.

She completely ignores the breads and apples and is also invited in by Vrouw Holle.
But this girl is lazy and does not do her work well, choosing to sleep all day instead.
Vrouw Holle has enough of this and gives the girl back her spindle and guides her to the door.

The girl eagerly steps through, bu instead of gold, it's a rain of tar that falls down on her.

Zwervertje de Heksenkat is a not really a fairytale, but it's one I've repeatedly asked to hear. It's about a witch-cat that wishes to be a normal housecat, but is shunned because of what he is.

Sonic the Hedgehog ^^

Everyone I knew had a nintendo and played Mario.

Once again I was the exception and had a Sega and played Sonic :p

Quick post I could fit in my oh so busy schedule ;) coz it's just THAT awesome.
THe prelude was shown in an earlier post...

Describe me in one word... just one single word.
- Leave your word in a comment before looking at what words others have used.
- Then (if you desire) copy and paste the meme to your journal to find out how people will describe you when limited to one word.

Damn, tough one...
Depends on exactly what age I was.
I'll go with 3 then.

I think I'll go with Charlotte's Web (and I hate the recent movie of it BTW)

I wasn't a big tv-watching kid. Spend most of my time playing outside with the neighbours daughter who was about my age.
I loved cartoons but since we didn't have a lot of moniez back when I was small, we only had a handfull of taped cassettes with cartoons 8D

My other favourites were(are):

Swanlake (anime dubbed in Dutch)
Rainbow Brite and the star stealer
Scruffy
Alice in Wonderland (Disney)
The Little Mermaid (Disney)
The Land Before Time (Platvoet ^^)
Pelle Svanslos (Peter no-tail I think it is in English)
Annie

And I think I probably mentioned my entire video collection from back then... ^^"

I still love those movies.
Still watch em too.
Though probably not my favourite movies anymore (coz I'm old and mature enough now to appreciate more complicated movies) those will always be special to me, coz yeah, I grew up with them. They're like childhood friends <3

1. "Call of the wild"~Jack London
2. "Harry Potter and the Halfblood Prince"
3. "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows"
4. "Watership Down" ~Richard Adams
5. "Stemming en Stoornis" (it's like some sort of encyclopedia for mental illnesses. I'm fascinated by it)

Why?
Coz I have no idea how long I'm going to be there and these are books I've read several times (like at least 5 times each) and I never tire of them.

Aren't they cute?? 8D

And I ordered 2 BMFM comics on Ebay (yeah I heard they sucked bigtime, but it's BMFM dude!!)

These last few days I've met up with a rather bad case of flu.
Complete with vomiting, chills, waking up in cold sweat, dizzy spells, phlegm cough and general miserableness.
You know, the whole shebang.

Doing a lot better now. The room still occasionally spins out of control and I still have a rather attractive cough.
Good thing the flu caught me now and not say, next week when I have my training course.

Oh yay, I'm so looking forward to that.

I'm even looking at poker on tv just so I can have better understanding about what will be expected of me as a croupier.

S pretty much still gibberish to me though...

meh, Still looking forward to it ^^

yep guilty.
Though I did it on purpose. Bro was bugging me too much so I spoilt Naruto, Death Note, Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter 7 for him XD
Don't mess with me >:(
Revenge is deviously sweet ^^

And yeah, others have spoilt things for me as well...
I hate watching a movie with my bro coz he can't keep his mouth shut.
"Ooh, pay attention, he'll do [something] now","oh and that guy will be [that]"
AAAAAAAAAAAARGH!! SHUT UP!!!!!!

And a friend from University that lives part time in Japan takes immense joy in spoiling every anime/manga I'm into...
Isn't it great to have friends? -_-

YES!!!
yes!
YES!!
ow FUCK YES!!!!

I got the job ^_____________________________________^

well, more specifically, I'll start my 6-8 week training course on february 9th 8D

I'm so happy!!
I feel like singing!!

And speaking of which, this song is stuck in mah head...
Ofcourse the cuties singing it (slightly off key, but they're forgiven ^^)might may could have something to do with my fondness to the song ^_~

( Do your ears hang low? )

I'm torn between screaming in fear of my life or wanting to cuddle it.


I'd probably end up tackle glomping it, offering it a cookie, pinching it's cheek and then running for dear life ^^
