It really bothers me when my mother talks about leprechauns at the ends of rainbows because it's an optical illusion and you'll literally chase it and it'll either move around you or disappear due to weather change, being intangible.

I'm also interested in the logical reasoning behind choosing a rainbow specifically to represent the LGBTQWJAINPOVUCEKHR thing, besides the obvious "well it's diversity and the rainbow is all the colors and isn't that diverse" response. There had to have been something better, I just don't know what…

Can we please talk about rainbows? :c

I take pictures of rainbows. This one was taken a few years ago.

Spoiler:


wish i could take more but it's a rare occurrence around here.
 
I once spent a few hours with my friend trying to find a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow.

We didn't succeed.
 
It rained here a couple of times this past week but the trees are far too tall around here to see any sort of rainbow.
 
Wow, there have been sooo many thunderstorms around here lately. I haven't seen one with this much lightning before where I'm from :o Even with the amount of rain, though, I haven't seen any rainbows :c

So do some rather questionable religious groups, but I doubt many people take them very seriously. No, not at all…

Yeah, but can you name any religious organizations that actually BITE it off?
 
So today I went in for a behavioral evaluation ordered by my dad not 9 days before we're moving back to Carolina. If you cut out the ♥♥♥♥, he heard from my mother a week prior that she was going to put me on SSDI (Social Security Disability Income) over there to pay for my medical expenses, and since the money sounded good to him not to mention if he gets custody of me he gets even more in child support, clear out of the blue he wants to "see me" and "ensure I'm alright". In the office, like the idiot he is he tried dropping a bunch of skeletons out of my closet that were entirely irrelevant to the evaluation, and when push came to shove an $800 co-pay just didn't sound all too appeasing to him. ♥♥♥♥ him, ♥♥♥♥ that - we're goin' on a road trip. South Carolina, what's up!?
 
We're going to be staying with my uncle Deano, and before that we're stopping in North to see my aunt, uncle, other aunt, first cousin, grandmother, my mother's friend Kris, our Shih Tzu, my uncle's dog, Kris's dog Cayle (a half Shih Tzu half Dotson), which'll be loads of fun. Also we'll be taking Eazy with us and moving out into the country in the other Carolina, which'll be a new experience entirely.

For almost a decade we lived in NC, the better beaches (though the Outer Banks are still amazing) will be exciting too. Never been there before :o
 
I had a nice Atlantic City day before I left, then New York the day after, it was a good weekend right before I started work :) No clue when I'll be able to do that again though since I no longer have long breaks like that, and when I take vacation I'll probably want to go somewhere more interesting than home...
 
It's going to be awesome finally having sweet tea that isn't either liquid sugar ♥♥♥♥ or raspberry. Junior year is going to be cool, but I'm going to miss the ROTC program here, especially since the divides between classes are a lot more obvious within it. Maybe they'll have something there, who knows?

Not to mention social dynamics are going to be way different out in the sticks, as is getting women. May be easier, may be harder - it's a different dynamic with some nice advantages (from less people being there in general), so that's going to be fun too. I'm by no means not competition myself :p

What are ROTC programs? I've never heard of such things.

Reserve Officers' Training Corps. Originally designed as college programs to train active duty officers for all branches, some time in the 20th century a HS-level derivative known as Junior ROTC spawned, which "Motivates young people to become better citizens" (that's literally the motto). In reality it lets a bunch of teenagers run around doing meaningless stuff such as spinning rifles, flags, and other stuff, parading, and also even Boy-Scout level stuff such as community cleanup. It makes the cadets believe they're actually important and those who can pull off keeping that thing in-head while managing to excel academically and be liked by the instructors (read: kissing ass) get to run everything. Just like in the actual military, lesbians are cool but gay males will be subject to everything that's legal and won't cost anyone their job (read: you'll never be anything, and never told why).

It's fun because it makes me feel worth something, especially considering I get to wear a shiny brass-tabbed coat that looks almost just like the real ones every week and I also get to participate in levels of drama heretofore unknown to the petty stuff confined to football/cheer. How is this possible, you ask? I think it's because everyone bull♥♥♥♥s themselves that they're not engaging in the drama so naturally those suppressed emotions intensify under pressure, hence why you never hear about it unless you're on the inside. This is likely why every group of seniors leading our battalion, say something along the lines of "♥♥♥♥ it all, the program's going to ♥♥♥♥", no matter what year you're in or they're in. Continue ad infinitum
