I am pretty secure about my relationship with my boyfriend. We've been dating for a little over a year with no major arguments. He's a good man, with strong religious and political beliefs. He's the one who exterminated whatever left leanings I had leftover from my art major college days, where there were plenty of Socialists but no heterosexual males. He's currently at the gym working his butt off trying to get into shape to enter law enforcement, and I'm so freaking proud of him. And for some reason unknown to anyone on the planet, he loves me. I am happy as the proverbial clam. Or rather, HE is the happy clam, and I am his pearl (read: his greatest treasure and source of constant irritation).
My only competition for his undying affections? Ann Coulter.
I can't compete with stuff like this: "College campuses across the nation are installing foot baths to
accommodate Muslims' daily bathing ritual, while surgically removing
the Ten Commandments from every public space in America. Maybe the Ten
Commandments could be printed on towels and kept next to the foot
baths." (Taken from
anncoulter.com ).
Add the fact that I'm the only woman on the planet who can NOT rock the little black dress to save her life...
Heh...
Anyway, I chose that quote because lately it's been irritating me to no end how "freedom of religion" really means "freedom of religions other than Christianity". The recent local irritation involved the suburb next to mine being pressured by the Muslim population regarding holidays. I'm not 100% sure of exact details, but the gist was "declare Ramadan an official holiday, or you have to stop saying "Christmas" and just call it "the Holidays". I think they had some issue with Halloween as well, but that's just a little extra snark thrown into the mix.
America: founded by Christians. Christmas: second most important Christian holiday, after Easter. Christmas is celebrated in America. Simple, no? If you don't like it, leave. My high school dedicated the third floor computer lab to Muslims during Ramadan so they wouldn't have to sit in the cafeteria where the food was, but they didn't stop serving meat on Fridays during Lent. Heh... I should end the snarkfest before I dissolve into unintelligible rant-babble.
End snarkfest. Begin meerkats.
Meerkats live in matriarchal societies. The gangs are led by a dominant female, and she chooses her mate. Together, the two have exclusive mating rights in the group, with no other females allowed to breed.
I am like the female meerkat. I chose my mate, and will fight for him. Hehehe...
