Hello to anyone reading this, that is, assuming that someone might actually read this,

I love books, conspiracies, Swedish rock music (specifically Sugarplum Fairy, Johnossi, Mando Diao, Laakso and Molotov Jive), motorcycles, my cat, skiing, arguing, and riding trains.

I hate/strongly dislike homophobes, racist and/or sexist people, Twilight (I'm on 'team' "Kill Bella" incase anyone's interested), people who walk slowly while blocking a hallway/sidewalk/etc, the color orange, and badly written books.

My favorite authors would have to be Tamora Pierce, Chris Crutcher, Terry Pratchett, Orson Scott Card, and Eoin Colfer.

My five favorite books are (in no particular order) The Princess Bride, My Sister's Keeper, Good Omens, The Outsiders, and Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes.

If I were a book, I would be Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman; if I were a band, I would be Sugarplum Fairy; if I were an animal, I would be a cat; as a human, I'm an INFJ according to the Meyers-Briggs personality test.

I read almost exclusively Harry Potter fanfiction. My favorite characters are Draco, Sirius, Remus, Fred, George, Hermione, Luna, James, Lily, and, of course, Harry. I dislike Snape, Pansy, and Lavender, although I'll read fics with them as semi-main characters as long as it's written well (it helps if one of my favorites is one of the main characters in said fic). I'm a huge fan of DMHP and RLSB slash.

Gay marriage:
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... --
