Before anything else, Good job Canada!
Canada has legalized gay marriage. It is legal for gay couples to marry *and* they get all the same rights as straight couples.
So, Canada (like a few other countries, including Germany and the Netherlands) beat us.
I say they beat us because I truly feel that the United States should always be on the forefront of any kind of civil liberty issue. We should (or perhaps it's just my idealized vision of my country) be first to allow people of all types the same fair treatment as others. We lost that somewhere along the line, that ideal we were formed from of people escaping repression.
So, good job Canada, for recognizing something we have still failed to - that regardless of personal beliefs of homosexuality, gay people deserve the rights of straight people.

I'm back. And I was fine yesterday, but today the frustration and stress came crashing back at me. And why? All because of this one girl at my job that is just too damn nosy and power hungry to let anyone be.
But it reiterates something a friend of mine said to me. He said, "you seem to have a lot of stress." And I was like, "not really" because I remember when I had so much more. But I think that I might have kind of a constant low level hum of stress or something.
I think so because of the dreams.
Because like I mentioned before, in Miami I dreamed vivid and memorable. And the last time that happened regularly before was in Germany at a time when everything was just comfortable. So I wonder if maybe there's something to that.
If it's true I should probably work on it.
