today's experince was incredible, half the people in my classes now think i'm a lesbian. LOL & everyone else at school who saw me today. *hand claps* oh well. i got some interesting looks, also because i was wearing a pride pin! woot mission accomplished!

-- i just copied what i wrote a friend as a comment. but seriously, this was an incredible experience.

today i participated in The National Day of Silence, i was surprised all my teachers were okay with it. sadly today was my chinese presentation, but i made a promise to myself that i was only going to talk during a practice run through with my group & my presentation. other than that, i did a pretty good job. *hand claps* to myself. "csulb peter," was surprised i could've done it, i did. and the only thing i slipped and said was "sorry!" but that was a total accident.

this day wasn't to show how i can shut my mouth for 24 hours, but it was to bring attention to anti-bullying, discrimination and hate towards the LGBT community. on the card i carried around put the Day of Silence in perfect words:
"My deliberate silence echoes that silence, which is caused by harassment, prejudice, and discrimination. I believe that ending the silence is the first step toward fighting these injustices. Think about the voices you are not hearing today."

to make it more visible to others, i wore my heart pride pin. :) the one i usually have on my jansport backpack. just wear something visible like a rainbow pin, i got looks from other people. looks i usually never get. during the day i completely forgot that i had the pin on, until i realize a guy was looking straight at my pin when i was speaking to him. then he asked the question i was surprise no one asked.

"are you gay?" -- no, i'm not gay. but i'm doing this to support a community people tend to turn their heads the other way to.

but people did ask why i did it, it's reasonable. but a lot of others just didn't question and assume. you can tell by their eyes that they are asking themselves, "hmm, is she gay?" -- i know myself done it many times before. i admit it, i did discriminate and judge others. today really open my eyes to see how many others do it themselves. it effected me and kinda made me feel hurt. but then i thought, how many people go through this on their everyday life. i only had weird looks and hesitant from people one day. but others get it everyday and every second in their lives.

i don't know how to end this, because there's no end to discrimination. people have their own opinions about situations & we shouldn't judge unfamiliarity. even if you think they are wrong, and heck! they might be. but just believe what you believe in and hopefully others will start seeing it too.

What are you going to do to end the silence?



ps. eff you surpreme court! i'm still pro-choice!

my disappointment grows..
- being drunk isnt the business.
i dont get how kids these days get a kick out of it.

i realized without my mother transporting my pretty much everywhere i need to go, im pretty much helpless and have to relay on other to take my places. yeah im horrible. && my father is pretty much pushing me to get my license. yet, am i ready? more thinking involved in that. i should just get my permit & start practicing. but imagining me on the road driving, do i really trust myself? please tell me im not the only one who freaks out about this. 8(
