One of them was &quot;Should gays not be married?&quot; and of course I answered &quot;No.&quot; But if I had it my way the question would say &quot;Should people get married?&quot;  Why should only certain people be allowed to get married?  Everyone should have the same rights, and I mean EVERYONE.  I would still have answered &quot;No.&quot;  I think that everyone has the right to get married, and that no-one should get married.  Anyway, there were other questions I didn&apos;t particularly think were just &quot;Yes/No&quot; for me, either, but whatever.  I think it generally captured my beliefs about as well as anything could without me specifically writing down a constitution to my beliefs (which I will get around to doing eventually), considering my beliefs probably don&apos;t fit into any currently existing political viewpoint, but if I took a mixing of all the ones that I do believe in, it would look a lot like the percentages above.  The one thing that I think is important to mention is that I believe democracy (in its truest form) and communism (ideally) are, combined, anarchy.  I do not consider anarchy to be a total absence of governance, just a total absence of leaders.</description>

  <title>The Swedish word for &quot;lesbian&quot; is &quot;Lespi&quot; (spelling?...whatever)</title>
  <link>http://normalandboring.livejournal.com/9012.html</link>
  <description>Just a reminder: all moods are always randomly chosen, eyes closed.  Assholes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OK...the word of the day, by the way, is: &quot;Dagobah.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here&apos;s some pictures.  First off, the little Samus 8-bit sprite from NES Metroid that&apos;s now my icon is going to be my choice for the &quot;tattoo I&apos;m going to regret party.&quot;  And it&apos;s going on my wrist.  Ooooh!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Secondly, the following image is what I&apos;m going to get as my first tattoo.  Not one i&apos;m going to regret.   It is the best book of all time, and it means a lot to me.  I&apos;m not getting it with any of the background, just Atlas...and in those same colors, but instead of him carrying a box filled with words, he&apos;s going to be carrying the world.  There currently does not exist an image of exactly that, but I&apos;m going to present the idea to Kyle the tattoo guy in a few days, hopefully monday, and he&apos;ll draw it out for me.  It&apos;s going to go between my shoulder blades.  I hope to get it before spring break.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.weblogimages.com/v.p?uid=Callahan09&amp;amp;pid=78697&quot; alt=&quot;Atlas Shrugged&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OK.  next on the agenda is a poster for one of the greatest goddamn movies of all time, and everyone should go as far out of their way as possible to see it, no matter what it takes...and it should win best Cinematography and Editing at the oscars on sunday! and I&apos;d love it to win Best Screenplay and Director, but i know it won&apos;t....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.weblogimages.com/v.p?uid=Callahan09&amp;amp;pid=78704&quot; alt=&quot;cityofgod2&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next comes a picture of such a sexy sexy human being, and one of the coolest too.  However, it is quite a shame that I&apos;d be afraid to hook up with her ever considering the history of her roles in films hahahaha. Kill Bill &amp; Battle Royale...yikes, CROTCH STABBIN!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.weblogimages.com/v.p?uid=Callahan09&amp;amp;pid=78702&quot; alt=&quot;gogo&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is just HILARIOUS!! I typed &quot;Annie Hall&quot; in Google image search looking for a poster for the flick, and this is what came up first! hahaha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.weblogimages.com/v.p?uid=Callahan09&amp;amp;pid=78701&quot; alt=&quot;annie hall grave&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two incredible paintings follow.  The first, Monet&apos;s &quot;Japanese Bridge&quot; and the second Munch&apos;s &quot;Scream&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.weblogimages.com/v.p?uid=Callahan09&amp;amp;pid=78695&quot; alt=&quot;monet-bridge&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.weblogimages.com/v.p?uid=Callahan09&amp;amp;pid=78696&quot; alt=&quot;munch-scream&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here&apos;s one of the classic scenes from movie history, most disturbing, and most influencial.  BEWARE the Andalusian Dog!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.weblogimages.com/v.p?uid=Callahan09&amp;amp;pid=78700&quot; alt=&quot;un chien andalou&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Space Ghost rules the universe!  Right up there with Speed Racer (who I have no images of...crap)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.weblogimages.com/v.p?uid=Callahan09&amp;amp;pid=78703&quot; alt=&quot;spaceghost&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is a drawing of a stapler:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.weblogimages.com/v.p?uid=Callahan09&amp;amp;pid=78698&quot; alt=&quot;stapler&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;&gt;</description>

You wish you could sing well: “Unchained Melody” by The Righteous Brothers&lt;br /&gt;12. You never want to hear again: “milkshake” fucking piece of shit. And “toxic” by spears, brit.

You want played at your funeral: “Stigmata” by Ministry&lt;br /&gt;15. Makes you want to mosh/slam dance: Emperor.  Children of Bodom.  Other forms of Black Metal.

You love the video more than the tune: that one Bjork video that Spike Jonze directed.&lt;br /&gt;24. Reminds you of your first crush: never had a crush, until like…the absolutely present moment. And no songs remind me of her.&lt;br /&gt;25. You love which is from one of your favorite movies: “Rhapsody in Blue” by George Gershwin (in Manhattan), “Also Sprach Zarathustra” by Richard Strauss (in 2001: A Space Odyssey), “O Sweet Nothin!” by The Velvet Underground (in High Fidelity), “In The Heat Of The Night” by Ray Charles (in In the Heat Of The Night), “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood” by Santa Esmerelda (in Kill Bill vol. 1)&lt;br /&gt;26. Makes you think of the moon: oh gosh. I crapped my pants.&lt;br /&gt;27. Makes you think of last summer: anything MoTown. And Elvis Costello.&lt;br /&gt;28. Makes you think of being alone: “Homeward Bound” by Simon &amp; Garfunkle&lt;br /&gt;29. Makes you think deeply: probably other Simon &amp; Garfunkle stuff.  Maybe “A Simple Desultory Phillipic” (because it makes me struggle to think about who and what all those pop-cultural references are), or “Scarborough Fair” because it’s so beautiful and serene, or “Silent Night” (probably that one) because it makes me think of how screwed up the world is. Or what about “Imagine” by lennon cuz it makes me wish the world were like he imagines and BAFFLES me as to how so few people seem to want it that way!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where is your...&lt;br /&gt;~ favorite place: Manhattan, New York City&lt;br /&gt;~ toothbrush: my bathroom&lt;br /&gt;~ mother/father: phoenix, maryland&lt;br /&gt;~ computer: on my lap, in film class.&lt;br /&gt;~ mind: Where’s my Mind by the Pixies.  That should’ve mentioned above for favorite song in favorite movie (it’s in Fight Club)…but that’s off-topic.  My mind is focused on the incredibleness of how scott can associate anything to Marxism.&lt;br /&gt;~ best friend(s): to the left of me. To the right of me. To the front of me. To the rear of me.&lt;br /&gt;~ homework: in the window the left of the one I’m currently writing in. well it’s actually notes.but same thing.&lt;br /&gt;~ tongue: very close to my nose.&lt;br /&gt;~ third grade english teacher: dead. Or in prison. I hope. Maybe even in Pennsylvania.&lt;br /&gt;~ television: in my parents house. Too lazy to move it in to my apartment.&lt;br /&gt;~ most prized possesion: hmmm…I dunno. I have a good bit of them.  I’d say my camera and my Macs.  I love my tv too, though. And my dvd collection. And my book collection.  Perhaps my copy of “Copyright Violation” autographed by Spider Robinson. Once again.  I also like some of the videogames I have. The valuable ones are prizes I’d say.&lt;br /&gt;~ nearest bus stop: I don’t even know, actually.&lt;br /&gt;~ penis: ridiculous.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How long does it take you (on average or now) to...&lt;br /&gt;! clean your room: eh.&lt;br /&gt;! get ready to go somewhere: I just go. Who has time to care.&lt;br /&gt;! wash three plates, seven cups, and a fork: I only use disposable.&lt;br /&gt;! Finish watching Homestar Runner: I have no clue what that means.&lt;br /&gt;! fall asleep: eh.&lt;br /&gt;! clean your ears: between 22 seconds and 8 hours.&lt;br /&gt;! Write a lj post: between 5 seconds and an hour.&lt;br /&gt;! pass out from boredom in class: hmm. A while?&lt;br /&gt;! forget what you were thinking of: halfway through every sentence.&lt;br /&gt;! fall for someone: hah&lt;br /&gt;! get really pissed at someone: whatever it takes&lt;br /&gt;! realize this section is over: kill yourself&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you could _______ you would...&lt;br /&gt;@ fly: have accomplished one of my 75 goals&lt;br /&gt;@ sing: do karaoke&lt;br /&gt;@ staple like nobody&apos;s business: um….&lt;br /&gt;@ make floral decorations: make floral decorations?&lt;br /&gt;@ drink sulfuric acid: pour a glass of sulfuric acid for me and someone else and when they say “hey that’s dangerous, isn’t it? Isn’t that like…acid?”  I’d say “no, it’s just soda.  Nothing to worry about. It’s a new flavor, try it out!”  and then I’d drink it and be fine, then he’d drink it and die cuz I TRICKED HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Oh, and I’d be sure to tell him it was “Jesus Juice” at some point.&lt;br /&gt;@ dance like John Travolta: dance&lt;br /&gt;@ be president: resign&lt;br /&gt;@ travel in time: go hang out with adam smith, charles Darwin, john lennon, ayn rand, etc….pick their brains. Oh, and I’d nab The Notorious Guy Shubert.  Cuz that fucker is destined to kill my great great great great great granddaughter, after raping her in the year 2188.&lt;br /&gt;@ do anything you wanted: probably just sit on my ass all day and have visitors. Really cool visitors.  And talk to them.&lt;br /&gt;@ rule the world: fix all the wrongs.  End tribalism.&lt;br /&gt;@ have a sex change: be a lesbian&lt;br /&gt;@ build full size castles out of Legos: build castles, then crush them.

  <title>A Random Emotion</title>
  <link>http://normalandboring.livejournal.com/8440.html</link>
  <description>Let&apos;s see...there&apos;s so much to post from the other night that I didn&apos;t even remember happening. But I watched some home movies that Rae Rae made and it&apos;s quite evident that it did, indeed, all occur.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Number 1, I can&apos;t remember if I already mentioned this, but me and Quin succeeded in accomplishing one of my goals: steal religious statue that weighs over 20 lbs.  It weighs like 60 lbs.  Rock on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok...then there&apos;s the video of me, Quin, and The Triplets chanting at the top of lungs, screamo, &quot;WE ARE GROWN, STRONG GUYS...AND WE WEAR MAKEUP!&quot; it was HILARIOUS!!&lt;br /&gt;Then there was me in Rae&apos;s kitchen, completely bottomless (?) continously talking about how i&apos;m gonna give so and so money (untrue) and how if there was heroin here, I&apos;d DO IT ALL!!!!  hahaha.&lt;br /&gt;I dunno, man.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the quote of that day, so I guess today too...or whatever...oh, and also, just so you know, if there ends up being no quote one day, and many quotes another day, just attribute the many from one day to the none of another day, and it should all balance out.  Who&apos;s counting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyhow, that quote is: &quot;WE JUST STOLE THE SHIT OUTTA THAT STATUE!&quot; -Quin</description>

  <title>Zork</title>

  <description>I don&apos;t think that the jewel-encrusted egg would agree with you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You must supply an indirect object.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can&apos;t reach the quantity of water.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is pitch dark.  You are likely to be eaten by a grue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;ve known strange people, but attacking a lurking grue!?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not even a human fly could get up it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take ice.&lt;br /&gt;  -Not a prayer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fuck off. &lt;br /&gt;  -You ought to be ashamed of yourself!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fuck you!&lt;br /&gt;  -Oh, dear, such language from a supposedly winning adventurer!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hold me.&lt;br /&gt;  -How romantic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What should I do with the lurking grue?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The grue is a sinister, lurking presence in the dark places of the&lt;br /&gt;earth. Its favorite diet is adventurers, but its insatiable&lt;br /&gt;appetite is tempered by its fear of light. No grue has ever been&lt;br /&gt;seen by the light of day, and few have survived its fearsome jaws&lt;br /&gt;to tell the tale.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I doubt you can rhyme with &quot;hat.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;  -I don&apos;t understand that.&lt;br /&gt;DAMN YOU!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is an extremely valuable (perhaps original) grail here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The prayer is inscribed in an ancient script which is hardly&lt;br /&gt;remembered these days, much less understood. What little of it can&lt;br /&gt;be made out seems to be a diatribe against small insects, absent-&lt;br /&gt;mindedness, and the picking up and dropping of small objects. The&lt;br /&gt;final verse seems to consign trespassers to the land of the&lt;br /&gt;dead. All evidence indicates that the beliefs of the ancient&lt;br /&gt;Zorkers were obscure indeed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Commandment #12592&lt;br /&gt;Oh ye who go about saying unto each other: &quot;Hello sailor&quot;:&lt;br /&gt;Dost thou know the magnitude of thy sin before the gods?&lt;br /&gt;Yea, verily, thou shalt be ground between two stones.&lt;br /&gt;Shall the angry gods cast thy body into the whirlpool?&lt;br /&gt;Surely, thy eye shall be put out with a sharp stick!&lt;br /&gt;Even unto the ends of the earth shalt thou wander and&lt;br /&gt;unto the land of the dead shalt thou be sent at last.&lt;br /&gt;Surely thou shalt repent of thy cunning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Light candles.&lt;br /&gt;  -With what?&lt;br /&gt;Light candles with a quantity of water.&lt;br /&gt;  -With a quantity of water!?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ring bell.&lt;br /&gt;  -Ding, dong.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How can you attack a spirit with material objects?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take mirror.&lt;br /&gt;  -Nobody but a greedy surgeon would allow you to attempt that trick.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Look at mirror.&lt;br /&gt;  -There is an ugly person staring at you.</description>
