You did nothing to earn it; it was given to you.

It is so woven into the very soul of me that nothing could ever change it. For those of you who reduce sexual orientation to a simple choice, a character issue, a bad habit or something that can be changed by a 10-step program, I’m puzzled. Are you saying that your own sexual orientation is nothing more than something you have chosen, that you could change it at will? If that’s not the case, then why would you suggest that someone else can?</p> </blockquote>http://itstartswithscience.com/post/719934932http://itstartswithscience.com/post/719934932Sun, 20 Jun 2010 18:54:16 -0500“She started crying while we were cooking shrimp because “Under the Sea” came on Pandora.”<br/><br/> - <em><a href="http://textsfromlastnight.com/Text-Replies-16705.html">(860) Connecticut</a></em>http://itstartswithscience.com/post/717299488http://itstartswithscience.com/post/717299488Sun, 20 Jun 2010 00:16:38 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l2o10lmA1b1qzcqoro1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://veronicalovesarchie.tumblr.com/post/612970586/mine-would-possibly-say-veronica-redacted">veronicalovesarchie</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><span> <p>mine would possibly say:</p> <p>veronica [redacted]</p> <p>“compulsive interrupter and inserter of stupid endings into other people’s sentences”</p> <p>what would your sign say?</p> <p>ps. i still miss you AM. *tear*</p> <p>(via <a href="http://ashleygraceee.tumblr.com/">ashleygraceee</a>)</p> </span></p> </blockquote>http://itstartswithscience.com/post/713315720http://itstartswithscience.com/post/713315720Fri, 18 Jun 2010 20:45:52 -0500
