I, Anannya, do solemnly swear to review all the fics I read, regardless of the number of reviews,
its age, or anything else.

I have joined the review revolution.

Anannya’s mother has collected enough oregano from past pizza evenings to make quite a large African country sneeze.

Anannya likes her glasses, thanks. Contrary to popular belief, she DOES know contacts exist and HAS considered them. However, she’d just much rather stick to glasses. She hopes you know where YOU can stick your misguided and repetitive advice.

The door to Anannya’s room must ALWAYS be closed when she is inside said room. ALWAYS. With the exception of the times she needs to know what is going on outside, which is rare.

Anannya gets inferiority complexes at the drop of a hat. This may be because she feels the need to be better than everyone else.

Anannya is off fried stuff, sugar and too much carb. She SWEARS. SERIOUSLY. She requests that you stop laughing now. She, however, concedes that this has never worked for her in the past, seeing as how the next thing she did after making this announcement was go down to the store and buy chocolate to make her feel better for going off it.

The first time Anannya read about eggs and sperm in Childcraft, she thought the sperm jumped from the male to the female, through the air.

Anannya likes the idea of being a wraith. Maybe because she finds the word ‘wraith’ extremely cool.

Anannya is really sick of MS Word underlining all her sentences in curly green, labeling them ‘fragment’, and advising her to ‘consider revising’ them.

Anannya misses the Swat Kats. Razor was another of her fictional crushes.

Hell, if she’s going to be writing about that kind of thing, you can add Reuben (Road Trip), George Weasley, Jack Sparrow, Sid (from Hey Arnold), Chandler Bing (in Seasons one to five, that is, before Monica snapped him up), Dr. Reid (Criminal Minds... HOT), Bart Simpson, Reece (Malcolm in the Middle… he’s just TOO cool to be true), Topher Grace in whichever role he chooses to play, Peter Petrelli, Mohindar Suresh, Isaac Mendez (all from Heroes… Anannya enquires whether you hate that guy Claire was dating. He made her want to scratch her kneecaps).

Anannya bids you a good/bad/OK/boring/inspiring/fun/random/blah/other day.

XXXXXXXXXX

I support lesbian and gay marriage, adoption and acceptance. Pansexual, Asexual, straight or gay. people are people and there is never such a thing as a "wrong love" between consenting adults.

There is enough hate and bigotry adding pain and fear and unhappiness to the world. Think about whether you want to contribute to that. You don't have to donate anything, you don't have to go out and do anything, hell you don't have to change your mind if you come out the other side of that thinking unchanged. But think about why you believe what you do and if it's worth it, be honest, not with the worl but yourself and think it all through.

Be the change you want to see in the world.

I am the girl kicked out of her home because I confided in my mother that I am a lesbian.
I am the prostitute working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman.
I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled nights.
We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time.
I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room.
I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from the two fathers who are the only loving family I have ever had. I wish they could adopt me.
I am one of the lucky ones, I guess. I survived the attack that left me in a coma for three weeks, and in another year I will probably be able to walk again.
I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear.
We are the couple who had the realtor hang up on us when she found out we wanted to rent a one-bedroom for two men.
I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me.
I am the mother who is not allowed to even visit the children I bore, nursed, and raised. The court says I am an unfit mother because I now live with another woman.
I am the domestic-violence survivor who found the support system grow suddenly cold and distant when they found out my abusive partner is also a woman.
I am the domestic-violence survivor who has no support system to turn to because I am male.
I am the father who has never hugged his son because I grew up afraid to show affection to other men.
I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that.
I am the man who died when the paramedics stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual.
I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a much better person if I did not have to always deal with society hating me.
I am the man who stopped attending church, not because I don't believe, but because they closed their doors to my kind.
I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most, love.
I am the person who is afraid of telling his loving Christian parents he loves another male.

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 Britney 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...
Re-post this if you believe in legalizing gay marriage
