I don't have anyone specific to say this to, thankfully, but can we all remember that it took the Supreme Court to make interracial marriage legal nationwide as well?
I want to torture you. I used to love it, and it's been a long time. I mean, the last time I tortured someone, they didn't even have chainsaws.

Yuuuup.
I am so angry about a couple of different work things right now, and I can't even explain why because they are both such esoteric problems. Fucking people are pissing me off.

Here's my conversational showstopper: I saw Helms without a shirt on.
I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.
Scalia is loud, but Alito is sneaky and dangerous.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
My conservative uncle posted on FB about the general "you" on both sides of issues who were posting things that were nasty, and suggested that if it's not something you would say in conversation, you shouldn't say it online.
I have no idea if he was talking about me, but I welcome any conversation where I can call Scalia evil, small-minded, and petty, and where I can rejoice in his unhappiness.
Oh, and I haven't said anything mean about Bobby Jindal yet, but I really plan to.

Thrive to spite them
I have seen one relative post something, which was along the lines of "Despite what's happened I'll continue to teach my children what a rainbow really means. That it's God's promise never to flood the world again no matter how wicked or evil it becomes"
Everything else on my FB feed has been rainbows and celebrations and the occasional update on some escaped dangerous felons that have been keeping everyone around here worried.

Huh, I just realized that someone at work did mention the escaped convicts but no one said anything about SCOTUS. I was in the "war room" all day, maybe there's a "no gay marriage talk in the war room" rule.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I got an official email from the Bishop of our church conference reiterating that the official church stance is to not recognize same sex marriages and same sex marriages cannot be conducted in our churches or by our clergy and blah blah not in accordance with beliefs of church blah blah. I think I am done with organized religion. I actually told my mom that I got nothing out of it anymore and only go to see them.

I was at work for over 11 hours today. Sure, I had lunch. But still, it's been a while since I've done that.

Eyeballs deep in work myself. Coming up for air for SCOTUS decisions (friend is now working weekend to I'd all cases they have to review under the ACCA residual clause ruling) and eulogy and raid of homeless camp under a bridge just before big rains (note: they just toss stuff the homeless can't carry. Oh, and they don't take them anywhere, just kick them out. Niiiice.) and just...so much.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
It was not part of the original plan, but now I think I am going to be spending part of this weekend hoping that the urge to yell "are you fucking kidding me with this bullshit" at the IT guys goes away by Monday, and being glad that they left for the day at 4:30 today.
