leave me when you cry

I'm forever hearing Americans bash on the French simply because that's what we do.

Guess what, people? I'm a born and bred American with Southern roots and a chip on her shoulder, and I love the French. And you want to know why?

They are just as stubborn, prideful, and weird as we are.

They're stuck up and smug? Fuck, take a look at us. What kind of ego does a nation have to have to emblazon a billboard with the slogan, "America. Love It Or Leave It!"

They're cheese-eating surrender monkeys? Well, we're burger-eating warmongers sending our men and women to die in some godforsaken desert.

And God forbid there be a country that is just as verbal about their dislike for us as we are about them. I mean, where do they get the gall?!

God damn, people. You don't know the French, and they definitely don't know us. We are two radically different cultures and we still manage to rub each other the wrong way because pride is our way of life.

Lord knows, I am proud to be an American and plan on serving my country until the day I die. But I am still going to inform you that you are moron if you consider 'the French' to be some kind of national inside joke.

Yeah, so I probably flew off the handle, today. I have extremely good reason, and I don't believe that I over-reacted, but it's a bit strange in that I am so rarely angry. Irritability is a common side effect of my meds (esp. when combined with caffeine, oops), so it is very possible that they take the leash off my temper. Something to keep an eye on.

However, I feel very strongly about how women are treated in today's hyper-sexual society. It is not my cup of tea in the slightest, but I will defend a woman's right to be as sexually active as she pleases until my last breath.

A woman who wishes to have sex is not a whore. She is a healthy human adult who has been designed by biology and society to both like and pursue sex.
A woman who has sex with multiple partners is not a whore. As long as she is safe and careful, there is not a reason in the world why she should not be allowed to kick the legs out from under every willing man in her hemisphere.
A woman who likes sex is not a whore. Sex is designed to feel good. In fact, it's designed to feel awesome. Liking it does not make you less of a person. You are not killing kittens every time you have an orgasm.

This world wants you to know that you are allowed to say 'no'. What is less understood is the fact that you are allowed to say, 'yes', too.

So when someone tells my best friend that she is a whore because she is happy with her new boyfriend, I get a little bit insane and a lot angry and maybe a little scream-y. DX

And it is just a day for rants, isn't it?

that don't bother me, it ain't marked anyway

12. In what story did you feel you did the best job of worldbuilding? Any side-notes on it you'd like to share?

Woooooooow. Uhm. Hell, making me choose from ma' babies here.

I'ma probably go with Sinners and Truck-Stop Coffee (fuck that needs a better title). I love swords and sorcery a lot, but urban fantasy has always been my drug of choice. There is so much weirdness in our own world, it's like nothings been created. You're just being shown what was always there.

As for side-notes... Uhm. Well, I had a sudden vision in the cafeteria of the Mount Rushmore National Park, eating a buffalo burger and imagining an angry poltergeist hurling knives at the diners, and this somehow got written in. So, moral of the story, write what you know? not a psycho, promise
