To quote an earlier answer, hello there, can of worms.
My personal ymmv is thus: it's a basic human drive. Does this mean everyone who wants to should? No, because not everyone has the ability to do it well. Should it be legislated? Look at the so-called 'value' of children of unwanted gender in countries that do so and you tell me.
Ultimately, the question should be whether or not we should invest in the education and support of all people in regards to why moderation, and even in some cases, abstinence, should be the preferred 'norm', rather than argue over 'rights'.

I'm Not Dead (The Reprise)
Jun. 27th, 2010 10:48 pmMight be a distant cousin to Why Aren't You Dead?, except in a different light.
Anyhow, yes, I'm okay. Work has been trying to kill me, depression was trying to tell me that curling up in a ball and never coming back out into the Big Scary World is a good idea, and...stuff.
I have been RPing on LJ on my favorite guy, although even that went kinda south for a bit while I convinced myself that I Was Doing It Wrong somehow, and Everyone Hated Me...that was an adventure. And my writing muse went right out the damn window and refuses to come back while I'm like this.
The good news? We got a new, extra guy to help at work these last two weeks, (although I'm still stressed enough to loathe my job at the moment, and it's making my shoulder act up again), I'm feeling better about my RP, and I'm actually starting to make headway in the "Let's Sock Back Some Money For ThatApocolyptic Rainy Day" department. At least until the car finally blows up, or something. And I've started making maps and planning plot for an RP...that I actually will likely never get off the ground. >>
PS:I want a pony Winning the lottery would be nice right about now; it would make quitting my job and writing my ass off all day every day so much more feasible.
Um...anyway, yes I am alive. Thank you and *hugs* to those of you who came looking--I apologize for not responding at the time. I was honestly fucked up enough that it seemed...I dunno what it seemed like. I will however try and write you guys back this week with, you know, something resembling a real conversation (even my dad has only been getting 'I hate my life, I hate my job, god this sucks' for a few months now. :/).
Love and hugs and stuffs.
PPS: Still love you guys; just haven't been in the 'love zone' lately myself.

I'm pretty much hanging out, listening to music, reading blogs, and deciding if I want to watch movies, play video games, draw, or any combination of the three. Right now, the pool is full of happy, excited kids, so swimming (at least my kind of swimming) is not exactly wise.
And I am, of course, spending the time with Foot. Because she's cool. And lives here, too. *g*
