August 31, 2003:
I just finished moving into my dorm. Now I have NO idea what to do with my chest. I thought maybe I’d have room for it somewhere, but it turns out I don’t. I’m listening to the Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl soundtrack for like the millionth time and it hasn’t gotten old as yet, at which I’m amazed. My feet and legs hurt like weenies for walking all over the damn campus today (and don’t like the thought of doing the same for the rest of the semester). I’m in Buchanan Hall, second floor, which is affectionately called “2nd Buch”. And I’ll have more details later, when it’s not nearly four in the morning and I can type without making typos every three letters, savvy? Guten Nacht.
August 21, 2003: Ah, ignorance.
I’ve received a number of amusing emails recently. In this edition of Random*Thoughts, I’ll cover two from (the same) someone. Basically, a guy I don’t know emailed to make sure of my sexuality. (He asked if I’m gay or not.) From the first, I quote: “Listen, it’s okay to be gay, but I was wondering if you are? Because your website isn’t specific enough and I’m not sure if you’re bisexual or gay or straight. So, what are you?” And from the second, he writes: “Hey, you never got back to me about whether you’re gay or not. Are you? It’s important to me because if you are, I don’t think I should read your website anymore just in case I become gay from it. Please respond so that I will know for sure.” I was laughing so hard when I read these two emails, I couldn’t even think of responding to them at that time. So, in addition to emailing him today’s Random*Thoughts, I thought it would be appropriate to post them online for the whole world to see, to let you laugh at him with me.
All right, so now that I’ve got that out of the way, here is my reply to this guy’s two emails regarding my sexuality: First, it doesn’t matter what my sexuality is; it doesn’t make me any different from anyone else except I may be romantically interested in different people than you are. I’d look at that as a good thing if I were you; less competition for you, right? Second, I’m not gay, bisexual, OR straight. Hah, don’t think about that for more than five seconds or blood will shoot out your nose. Ahem, inside joke. Anyway, if you really want to put a label on it, look up “pansexual” and “genderqueer”. When you ask my sexuality, that’s the correct (albeit, technical) answer. On a more personal note, I love beauty; both outer and inner beauty, for one catches my eye and the other intrigues my continued attention. Third, just because you read something by someone who is not straight doesn’t make you not straight. Homosexuality is not a disease, and it can’t be “caught” by being in contact with someone who is homosexual. That goes for bisexuality, pansexuality, transexuality, and all other sexualities you can think of. Your sexuality is something with which you’re born. And as far as I’ve determined, it’s permanent and unchangeable. That means there is no such thing as an “ex-gay” person. Ex-gay people are lying to themselves by trying to fit into society’s mould of right and wrong. This might be hard for some people to swallow, but I know. I’ve seriously, personally dealt with the “ex-gay” scene. Many of my friends are ex-ex-gays (that is, were once ex-gays, but realised their mistake, worked through their denial in a much more healthy way, and are now healthy, happy gay people) and I seriously considered the ministry myself in the past. Needless to say, I didn’t go through with the prayer and other methods which are supposed to make a gay person straight, and I’ve never seen ANY of them work on ANYone over long periods of time. However, I HAVE seen many gay people suffer unnecessarily because they can’t “change” and become straight. And I’ve been to two funerals of two gay people who were so distraught that they couldn’t change that they took their own lives. Finally, saying that you’re afraid of becoming gay if you read literature and thoughts written by someone who is not straight just causes me to question YOUR sexuality, not mine. If you’re so worried about “turning” gay, I suspect that you already are. Someone who is sure of who they are and who they are romantically attracted to wouldn’t be worried about such a thing. It’s trivial. In conclusion, sir and the rest of the world, I have faith that you will discover yourself more fully between now and the time the Lady and Lord decide to bring you to the Summerlands. If you decide that you can’t read my writing and Random*Thoughts because of gay vibes, that’s your choice. I don’t even know you. If you read back far enough, you’ll know that I write for one person and one person only on this site. And guess who that person is? Yep, that person is me, savvy? I write for myself and myself only, and I do not represent anyone but myself when I do so. I take full responsibility for everything I write on this website, and all the other websites at which I maintain and/or post.

Watching Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl for the third time in the theatre today before last makes me half wonder why I’m so attracted to the movie in the first place. And wonder why I want to go back and see it again. All right, well, after thinking it over for a while, here’s what I’ve come up with, along with a few related quizzes for all you quiz junkies.
You are…
Jack’s hat and pistol fetish! You need to look
good, at all times. You need your hat, and your
gun, and damn the man who takes them from you.
Or woman. Well, at least you have a reason to
enjoy this sort of thing, you look rather good
in both. Go you!
Which Pirates of the Caribbean Character’s Unhealthy Fetish are YOU?
brought to you by Quizilla
You are…
The dog with the keys. Probably the most iconic of
the pirate animals, you are known in both the
movie world and the fast paced world of the
Disney attraction. Though often tempted, you
never waver from your solemn duty. Those stupid
pirates will never get your keys. Honestly, who
died and made YOU boss? Oh right, the cell keeper.

You’re mad Jack. You’re as crazy as a march hare.
Which of Jack’s multiple personalities are you?

What kind of pirate are you? *Pirates of the Caribbean Quiz*
brought to you by Quizilla
You are “Welcome to the Caribbean, love.”
You’re more than a little world-weary, but also
intelligent and you keep your head when things
get dodgy. You’re everybody’s favorite
drinking buddy, but your stubbornness does get
in the way sometimes.
Which one of Captain Jack Sparrow’s bizarre sayings from Pirates of the Caribbean are you?

You’ve Got Captain Jack Sparrow’s Eyes! You’ve Seen
So Much Of The World, And Lost Many Friends And
Dear Posessions.
Which ‘Pirates Of The Caribbean’ Eyes Do You Have?

You’re Jack’s head wrap. You’re cool, you’re an
earmark of a pirate. You’re crafty and useful,
you crave adventure. C’mon admit it, you do
What part of Jack Sparrow’s outfit are you? {Pirates of the Caribbean}
brought to you by Quizilla
You’re a rabid Jack Sparrow fan. You love his kohl,
drunken manner, and all around sexiness, but
you take it a little *too* far
Are you a rabid Pirates of the Caribbean fangirl?
brought to you by Quizilla
Ah, yes, I know that’s a bit much, but it’s all the Pirates quizzes I’ve taken thus far, and it’s an appropriately themed Random*Thought, so I thought I’d indulge just this once on the quiz thing. Now, onto my reasons for obsession. First and foremost, Captain Jack Sparrow’s kohl and long hair. Drool… Need I say more? And the man behind the kohl and ratted hair, the Captain himself, is second and not far behind. Ahem, cough. Yes, so moving on. Third, the musical score. Damn, the main theme is drool worthy in itself, without even considering the characters portrayed by it. Forth: the plotline and the way the characters develop. Fifth: The last line in the movie, “Now, bring me that horizon… (hums)… and really bad eggs. Drink up, me ‘earties, yo ho!”. Sixth, Jack’s hat and effects. You just gotta love that, people. Seventh, “Savvy?”. Eighth, the Pirates’ Code, better known as the “Articles of Piracy”. Trust me, if you want to look up the Code online, look it up as the latter, not the former. If you look up the former, you’ll get the Pirates of the Caribbean videogame cheat codes. Not what at least I was looking for when I searched for the “Pirates’ Code”, to be sure. Sheesh. And last but certainly not least, the lovely Elizabeth Swann eye candy. And yes, I admit, I’m a rabid Captain Jack Sparrow fan. Arr! GO Pirates!
