It's a kind of magic.

ebonlockFirst and foremost, I love the Magical Activism site, and the ritual to help make the country more receptive to same sex marriage. Many thanks to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
technocowboy for posting a link to it. In the past year or so I've been combining my spirituality with my political activism and I've found it quite rewarding. If you're a Wiccan or know some folks who are, forward the link on. Every little big of magic helps.
Woke up a lot last night (mostly thanks to Pye being in one of his "moods"), but then I never sleep all that well when I'm alone in the house. It's good practice for when I get my own place, of course. Best get used to it now.
I should be a lot more tired than I am, but the idea of getting back to dance class is helping perk me up, along with what I hope will be the last game in the series against the Avs. I'm not sure my poor heart could take a game 7. As I do have class tonight I probably won't see much of the game, but given the last two I'm not sure I want to. C'mon, guys, let's finish it.
Did nothing but chores last night, though I did sneak in a little time for the Tenchi Universe DVD set that arrived in the mail. I was hoping the ending would make more sense in the original (rather than the Cartoon Network version). Sadly, it doesn't. What's the point of having one of the characters make a grand sacrifice if you're just going to bring them back without an explanation? *sigh*
Work is a little insane this week, and I expect to be staying late most nights. So if you don't hear from me I'm just under a pile of work. Hopefully next week will be better. Hopefully.

The government should get the hell out of it and only perform Contracts Between Interested Parties, which could then (without the religious baggage) be between one or more people of identical or varying sexes and not enrage Jehovah in the least.

And I think most of us would agree, but the fact is that government doesn't seem likely to get the hell out of it any time soon. That being the case, I think it has a lot less to do with wanting to be like "normal people" and a lot more to do with wanting the same rights and privileges as heterosexuals.
