I want a tattoo designed by Kiriko Moth. What beautiful work!!
I have purchased 22 skeins of yarn in the past week. For making gifts, but still. I must be sick, lol.

All fear death.

Then whom can you hurt?
What harm can you do?

By hurting those who seek happiness
Will never find happiness.”

I have been crocheting like a fiend lately, and I’ve gained patience and skill, in addition to a long list of projects I want to start. I started a pair of socks but set it aside part-way through the first. The gifts on my list stick with me better–I guess I’m just a giving person, or something.
Tonight, though, the projects I have going have lost my attention and I can’t seem to find anything quick and easy to try in the meantime. Lame!

“Today I realize that this is one of the biggest roadblocks when it comes to people accepting gay people–particularly gay men. Some folks think being gay is only about having sex with someone of the same gender, and that’s the last thing many people want to think about. Now that I’ve become friends with so many gay people, my eyes have opened to the fact that, straight or gay, sexual orientation is about so much more than just who you go to bed with. It’s about relationships.” – Judy Shepard
Kind of “duh,” yes, but it’s amazing how few people realize this–be they anti-gay or “neutral.”
