Who are we to be the judge, jury and executioner? Think about how you treat others because one day you could be in their shoes.

1) Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, liposuction and air conditioning.

2) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.

3) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.

4) Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all; women are still property, blacks still can't marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.

5) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Brittany Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.

6) Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn't be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren't full yet, and the world needs more children.

7) Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.

8) Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why we have only one religion in America.

9) Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That's why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.

10) Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven't adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans...

What planet am I from? Finally answered!

Your result for What Planet are You From? Test...

You are from Mars!

20% Mars

You probably suspected you were a Martian all along.

Mars is the planet that is commonly called the “Red Planet” because it appears to be red. Okay, that was kind of obvious, I know. But it has been the one that most people on Earth think of as being the most likely planet to hold life. Recent findings might even help prove that there was actually life on Mars.

Mars is named after the Roman god of war. This guy definitely had a spunky personality. You have to have when Roman legions that go out and take over countries are worshipping you. The definitely wouldn’t be turned on to some wimp when they are there to maim and destroy.

But what does this all have to do with you?

Well, as a Martian you are probably one that is a bit rebellious in nature and like to do things your own way. You like to keep your personal things personal and don’t like people being too nosey about your business. So, what are you up to, Martian?

You probably get bored quickly and give in to impulse buying when you see something that you really like. You more than likely don’t save money because you like living life and not just existing in it. You can also be a bit stubborn and don’t really care what people think.

As far as relationships go you might be a bit hard to get to know at first, but once someone gets to know you and finds a place in your heart you are their friend for life. You don’t betray your friends.

So, Martian, I wish you luck in your attempt to overtake the world!

Day 9 - Home Time - 211008

It was daylight when we left! Nice change. Redda drove cos he knew I wanted to stop at the dish at Parkes. Which we did. I loved it. It was closed at the time. We were early. So we didnt go in. I wish we could have. It is 64m across. HUGE!!!


You have to turn off video cameras and phones when you go there. Mum went and got a good pic for me (the sun was in the wrong spot for me). And when she got back her hair was like it was all full of static. It was a pisser!
Drove for hours. Stopped at Forbes to get petrol and suddenly there are people waiting on us in the servo!!! YES IT IS A FULL SERVICE SERVO!!! Petrol was done for us, and they even cleaned the window!
Then laughed my guts out cos there was a place called Bogan Gate!!! For all the ones who dont know what a bogan is, its a feral, or a red neck!

Marsden, West Wylong, Alleena, GRONG GRONG, Narrandera, Gillenbah, Corobimilla, Jerilderie, Finley and TOCUMWAL!!!

How bloody dry is this place?!?

Finally got back to mums at about 1pm. Monty went spastic when he saw me. I missed him too. He was so excited. So after he finally settled down a bit I just chucked all my stuff in my car and headed home. Too tired to stop. Just wanted to get home, check on the cat and unpack.
All was fine at home. Star was good! Meowed his little face off when he saw me, and he has been close by ever since. Poor baby!
The holiday was great. I really enjoyed it. Mum has no idea how much I appreciate what she did for me. I’m so lucky to have her! My fave bit was definitly Australia Zoo. I just had the best day there and could have spent hours more there.
I want to go back there one day to see more. Now that I have had a holiday (first one in 14 years) and travelled a bit, I want to travel more. All I want to do is to just bugger off and travel and go from place to place. I just want to live!

Day 7 - Last day - 191008

>

Boring! Did bugger all in the morning. I don’t understand why they have driven all the way up here only to sit at the appartment. Geez I would be out and about. Just walking somewhere and having a nosey.

At around 11 they decided to go to some factory outlet place down the road. So off we went. Got there and discovered a cool little market on the foreshore. So bugger the factory outlets, we went for a wander through there. Lots of cool stuff. Heaps of arty farty stuff. Went down to the beach and reaised we were just outside the Kurrawa Surfers Club, where we had tea on Wednesday night.

A bit of Star Trek on the Gold Coast

The beach was packed. Watched some youngens play volleyball for a while then went back for a wander.

Ended up in Broadbeach Mall. Found Maccas and had lunch. Wandered around a bit more then went back (again) to the appartment.

I just played the pc for a few hours. Then at about 5 Narelle turns up. So we sat out on the balcony and had a drink and chatted a while. She is so cool. Its been great to catch up with her. To get to know her again. I wish I could have had more time to spend with her. I think we could get along really well.

That night was boring too. Heading off early in the morning so had a very early night.

HELP!!!

Day 6 - I GOT ELEPHANT SNOT ON MY HAND - 181008

Another early morning. We went to Australia Zoo today. Steve Irwins Zoo. It was amazing. I don’t think I have had such a brilliant day for as long as I can remember.

It was about a 2 hour drive from here at Surfers. Saw the Glasshouse Mountains. Weird looking buggers they are.


Arrived half an hour early so had to wait at the gates with heaps of others. Got in and I went and hired a scooter. It was so much easier, after I got over the crashing in to things and almost running over young children (it was accidental....some of the time). It was great not having to push the damn chair up and down hills and shit. And it was easier on mum too. Saved her from having to help me about.



Saw heaps of crocs and lizards and aligators. Saw the tortoises get fed. Galioth and Igloo (I think).



Got to feed Sari(?) the elephant. It was trippy. I GOT ELEPHANT SNOT ON MY HAND!!!! She was the eldest on there, 52 years old. I just love them. So graceful.
Then we went to the Crocoseum for the Wildlife Warriors Show. Heaps of birds and snakes. Then SHAKA the croc came out and did his thing, which is basically swimming about and trying to grab the dead chicken bits. Bloody scary buggers they are. The way they can rise up in the air out of the water is amazing.


Got to pat a drop bear (Koala) and a kangaroo (eeeer Skiiiip!) Saw the echidnas (ekindas).
After that it was off to Elephantasia and watched the elephants for ages. The handlers were there and they did a talk on how they care for them. They gave one a bath and they (the elephunkles) did a few tricks like lifting logs and bowing down. They are so gorgeous. I just love them. I took so many photos of them it was unbelieveable.



Tigers were next. OMG I fell in love!!! These beauties are fantastic! Their handlers were in the enclosure playing with them. One guy was lying on the grass and had 3 tigers playing with him and snuggling in. So B E A U tiful! They were all playing together and grabbing tails and chasing one another. The only problem was the damn reflection off the glass, made taking photos a prick!



We went thru the aviary and by this time Redda was having problems walking and we had been around. I think they were just ready to go. I could have stayed there all day. It was about 2.30 I think. I took the scooter back and got back in my chair, then remembered I didn’t get the photo that they took of me when I fed the elephunkle. So mum went to find Redda outside the exit somewhere and I scadaddled off quickly back to the Crocoseum to get my pic. Bloody hundreds to search thru to find it (and of course it was up high and I had to ask for help) and then was pissed off cos there was a big PROOF written in red right across it. You have to pay to get one done and cos Mum and Redda were basically already left I didnt have time to get it done. So I just gotta scan it in when I get home and try to photoshop it a bit. I took heaps more photos there. You can see em on my facebook page http://www.facebook.com/home.php?src=fftb#/profile.php?id=1224076245&ref=name



We got home at about 5 ish I think. And cos I was so hyped I got my bathers on and jumped in the pool. It was so nice. The pool is heated here. I havent been swimming in so long. Plus I didnt have my flippers! But I still managed to get from one end to the other, even tho I couldn’t reach the bottom at the shallow end. I even managed to stay under the entire length and not come up for air. Jumped in the spa next. It was hot. And so relaxing. Couldn’t figure out how to turn it off though, then I realised it was on a timer! DER!!!

Anyway, now its only 8pm. Mum has already passed out in bed and Redda is snoring on the chair. And I am not tired. Still on a high I think. No idea what is planned for tomorrow. I don’t think anything is, just a go with the flow day. Its our last day up here so I hope we dont waste it!

Day 5 - BORING!!!! 171008

Got to kind of sleep in today. Mum and Redda took the car down for a service. Needed a wheel balance and shit. So even though I woke early I still stayed in bed for a while longer. When they got back I suggested we go to HarbourTown, where they have all the factory outlets. So off we went. Just walked around there for a while. Bought some trakky dax and a few tops. And got another stubby holder (a Gold Coast one).

That all took us a few hours, then just came home. Got lost on the way and the squabbles began again. And they wonder why I bought a new MP3 player!!!

Did nothing in the afternoon. Napped. Thats about it. It was a bit of a boring day. I think we were all a bit touchy too. Was a bit of a narky day. Probably all getting on each others nerves. So I just went down and checked my emails and facebook and stuff to get away on my own for a bit. Thats about it! Boring hey!

The only photo I took today.
