Oh, why do they flaunt their legs at me?
To the man that cannot be.
What do they see in me, the man who is not me?
Leave me your clothes and leave me alone,
For the man that is not me.

Supreme Court rejects appeal to force DC ballot measure against gay marriage

01-18-2011 07:12 AM PST
WASHINGTON (Associated Press) --
The Supreme Court has rejected an appeal from opponents of same-sex marriage who want to overturn the District of Columbia's gay marriage law.

The court did not comment Tuesday in turning away a challenge from a Maryland pastor and others who are trying to get a measure on the ballot to allow Washingtonians to vote on a measure that defines marriage as between a man and a woman.

I have just discovered DocsToGo for my iPhone, and it is an incredibly useful app.

It enables me to edit MS Word files on my iPhone and then synchronise them with my computer, so I can now write on the train or in a cafe, or even in bed at 3 am (my most creative time). Unlike a laptop, unless people get very close, it is completely private. Sure, typing is not that fast on the iPhone, but it's fast enough for my brain. And you can always tidy it up when you transfer it to your computer. It even handles password protected files - another important feature for me.

I ran across these today. There is a small bit of TG but I enjoyed them all.

An ode of English Plural
English: A Tough Language to Learn

We'll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes,
But the plural of ox becomes oxen, not oxes.
One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese,
Yet the plural of moose should never be meese.
You may find a lone mouse or a nest full of mice,
Yet the plural of house is houses, not hice.

If the plural of man is always called men,
Why shouldn't the plural of pan be called pen?
If I speak of my foot and show you my feet,
And I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet?

Well, I am trying to keep my anxiety levels down, as I have not yet heard a reply from my brother. It may be because he just isnt the compulsive email checker i am, or it may be because he and his wife are away for the weekend, or it may be because the email account I sent it to is an old one of his wife's and not something they worry about any more. It is also possible he did get it, and is thinking about how to reply. But I have determined for myself, that should I not hear anything by next weekend, I will print out a hard copy of the letter, and put it in his mailbox.

Dear Friends:

I just noticed on my information page, that I have been a member of Big Closet Top Shelf for exactley 2 Years and 6 minutes.

So I want to thank Erin and her staff and everyone else who helps out for their time, hard work and sacrifice which makes this place possible. If any of my blogs or comments have caused you heartache or grief, I appologize.

I also want to thank all of the authors who stories I have read and even those authors who I have not had the time to enjoy for the hours of enjoyment they give me.

Hey Lil is there an update as to whats canon in The Center. Ive been waiting to read it till there a more solid whats canon and whats not

I am troubled tonight, and I don't seem to be able to sort my feelings out very well right now. I have been coming to this site just 2 weeks over 4 years, and I have come to know and have great affection for a number of the Authors here. I really appreciate the patience and understanding that Erin has shown me when my emotions were unmanageable. It is posible that I was the biggest drama queen ever to come here, and in spite of it all, I don't think anyone has ever sent an unkind email or comment to me. I am so thankful for that.

Okay, I *do* want to start writing again, and I'm starting this new job, which will entail a one-hour train ride each way.

So... two whole hours a day, potential writing time. The question is, what tools are the best for use on a commuter train?

I was considering an iPad, or some other kind of tablet device. My laptop is too large for this (17"), and pencil and paper aren't terribly useful, since a) it would have to be transcribed anyway, and b) my handwriting sucks even on a rock-solid desk, let alone a swaying train.

I'm not sure what I can say about this. The nature v. nurture argument pops up in many areas of discussion of human behavior and identity. Following is an example of personal anecdotes (and photos) of gay men and women and their earliest evidence of being... different.
