I think I need new glasses. Or something.

I was just on the Chase website to check my balance, and there's an ad for the "Chase Sapphire" card, whatever the heck that is.

Except I read it as "Chase Sapphic". *facepalm*

And while perusing LJ earlier, I saw a post that said something like, "Man with baby, beware exploding uterus" and read it as "man with exploding uterus". OI.

I think I'm going to go poke at my story file for a bit, see if I can't be at least a little productive.

cormallen, I'm on the laptop, so Gmail is unavailable. :( Wanna YM?

Oh, you have GOT to be kidding me

Interracial couple denied marriage license in La.

A Louisiana justice of the peace said he refused to issue a marriage license to an interracial couple out of concern for any children the couple might have. Keith Bardwell, justice of the peace in Tangipahoa Parish, says it is his experience that most interracial marriages do not last long.

I'm sitting here with my mouth hanging open, trying to make this make sense in my brain, and not succeeding. What the HELL? Seriously, what decade/century are we in? Also, how is it his concern how long a marriage lasts (or doesn't)? I just... yeah. I hope that couple files a discrimination suit, or something, because holy cow.

tell me something :)

As seen around, and because it's been one of those days (weeks/months/years):

One little compliment can make you feel amazing. So give me a compliment, anything in the entire world, even that my shoelaces are pretty. Put this in your journal. And once you get some comments, put that entry in a memory or tag and when you are feeling down, just go to that entry and this will remind you of how great you are.


Pee Ess: Post this in your journal and I will come say nice things about you! And if you've posted it and I haven't said something nice, I probably haven't seen it, so link me!
