Not dead, honest

thebratqueenIt has come to my attention that there are a few people out there wondering where the @#$% I am. Er - whoops!
Basically this week I've been feeling under the weather so I've been lying low net-wise (and phone call wise and...) Doesn't mean I hate all of you or that I'm ignoring you. I'm just trying to be a good girl and take care of myself.
To try to do a quick catch-up - thanks again to those who liked the last Epiphany story. There's a couple of you I still need to reply to so just wanted to let you know I'm not ignoring you.
There's a ton of write-y things going on. I'd love to help out anyone who wants/needs the extra hands, so just let me know. Off the top of my (admittedly pain-filled) head I think there's some ficathons? I know I was asked directly about slashficathon so sure, consider me signed up for that. Now just tell me what I need to do ;)
Also is there a Faithficathon going on? I feel oddly compelled to try my hands at that. This may possibly be due to me being ill but if whoever's running that is reading this and is looking for more people, feel free to take advantage of me while I'm weak ;)
I'm sure I'm forgetting stuff.
In other news,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
shellmidwife pointed out this ACLU link wherein we find out, surprise surprise, that Republicans in America are clutching their pearls and screaming "WON'T someone THINK of the CHILDREN?!" in re: those godless communists in Canada allowing gay marriage. To wit they are yet again trying to push the whole defense of marriage, let's not recognize anything that's not man/woman/missionary position, never liked those damn homos anyway blah bling blah ding dong thang.
It's entirely possible that the ACLU is being a bit panicky before they have to about this issue, but frankly I'm pretty defensive of my ability to be with whomever I choose, should the time come that I figure out who the fuck that is (TBQ now eyes a few people on her friends list). So I took advantage of the handy-dandy free ACLU fax feature to send the following letter to my representatives:
Feel free to copy it and modify it to your own usage if you'd like. I'm nothing if not giving.
Now I'm nothing if not going to take a hot shower and curl up in bed with a cooking magazine and some Faith/Wes thoughts that are probably best never spoken out loud.

You know, I could use the boilerplate text that the ACLU puts into these things, but in this case I'm not. Instead I want to spell this out in very small words:
I am in your voting district. I am gay. I will not vote for anyone who hates me and seeks to support laws that treat me as though I am less than a human being. Anyone who is so stupid as to think that I am less than a human being is clearly not smart enough themselves to be in office. Ergo, if you support the Federal Marriage Amendment, I will support a little something I like to call "voting you the Hell out of office".
There, see how simple that was?
PS - I'm not totally disagreeable. If for some reason you have a difficult time understanding why I, someone who is gay, is still a human being and therefore deserving of the same rights as every other human being, I am more than happy to set up a meeting with you wherein I continue to explain this with small words, using myself as an living example of a homo sapien, and possibly also using cue cards and hand puppets if you're still having a hard time with it. Just write and let me know. Never let it be said I don't do anything to help out my fellow - note the word I'm about to use here - man.
Thanks and have a nice day.
