Bang bang. Here come the martyrs.

*sigh* I am reminded I didn't openly publish my essay last time there was a school shooting. http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/12/11/colorado.shootings/?iref=mpstoryview Idiot. Thanks for making things a bit worse for the rest of us.

So.. Let's see how fast I get banned from LJ by people's basic inability to read.

Here it is unlocked and public:

Why I never shot anyone in school

Since I think more people need to see it I submitted it to reddit. http://reddit.com/info/62r5m/details

Just really tired of hearing about this one - the shooter was very much the product of his abusive religious upbringing. And this is becoming 2007's incarnation of Columbine, it'll be the same praise-Jesus response without ever trying to treat people with more humanity (which I think is more effective).

AOL's news has been publicising it a lot, so I feel like what I'm expected to get out of the publicity is (yet more) that Christians are a hated and oppressed minority.

I never shot anyone because I'm deathly afraid of guns and was totally convinced (by way of failing archery) that I can't hit the ground with a rock.

Great writing. So few people can write but you damn sure can. Fun. And I nosed around your entries, to try to catch a sense of you, what you're about.

You fucking rock.

And then: I found those images -- you're hot as hell, to boot. Jesus Christ.

I signed up here at lj just so's I can tell you that you flat fucking rock.

I don't know how you got to where you are but keep on keeping on; looks from my seat in the house that you're living large.

I've got this big crush on you, I'm writing to tell you about it at 1:47am on a soft, misty/misting Austin morning.

I hope that this finds you well, enjoying the beauty in autumn.

Peace.

Hee. *^_^* My cheeks are red now.

I don't usually write nearly as well the essay on why I never shot anyone in highschool. Most of my writing is pretty appalling really.

As for the rest, thanks. :) Life has been a pretty wild ride so far. :)
