*bounce bounce* Today was so beautifully overcast. And I got an extention on my paper because friggin none of the local stations show Martha Stewart Living. How odd is that?!

Though something mildly odd happened in class. I was talking to Heidi this morning because she really pissed off at the 700 Club. They had ran a small program on this book that said that gay groups use brainwashing to get members or something like that. One of the hosts was all "they use straight actors to play gay men so that you think they're just like us. But they aren't. I've seen gay protests and some really crazy evil stuff happens at those." Then in class we were talking about how television influences people and I told the class that story and in introducing Heidi into it I told them she was a Fag Hag. Everyone got all offended like I said something offensive. Fag Hag. Those girls that hang out with gay men all the time so they can talk fashion etc. (of course not all gay men are into fashion). They were all offended. It really made me a little confused. I wonder if they think I'm some homophobe now. *laughs* ah well. not that their opinions'll really do much to me anyways.

Ahh...if I died today, I'd die content I think. I'm definitely feeling content. It was a beautiful day. Beautiful, peaceful, windy, calm, and even a little warm. The trees have been turning colors. The wind smelled wonderful. I feel safe and cared about. Not to mention it's my favorite season.

I need to find a good place to feed birds. I got all this bird seed to toss when I want to feed some, but I can't do it near the pond cause we're not allowed to feed the ducks. I'm gonna search around campus for a good spot.

Oh! I know what I was going to rant about. I haven't watched much Naruto since I had that little marathon (I watched 1-45 in about a week and a half). I managed to finish the download of episode 46 yesterday. I adore Team 8 even more. They left me at such a friggin cliff hanger! Arg! noooo!

Either way, it's put me back on the Naruto kick. Team 8 layout...hmm... I'm definitely a Team 8 admirer.

*snicker* Well, teh word fag in general is offensive. It's like using bitch or whore to refer to women. It is actually a derogatory term, so ...it's like using... nigger to refer to an african-american person. While the term to begin with was latin for black (niger)...it is still offensive. While there are other meanings, they're all british. "I'm all fagged out" meaning I'm exhausted.

fag-Used as a disparaging term for a homosexual man. (short for faggot)
faggot- n 1: a disparaging term for an openly homosexual man [syn: fagot, fag, fairy, pansy, queer, poof, poove, pouf]

Personally, it is not a word I like. I have a list of words I don't like, for anyone really. Some are more tolerable than others. Since fag is typically used in a negative connotation (ie. trials of people who have been convicted to die for killing others "that fag had it comin") I dislike it's use.

I know, I'm probably being rather prim and proper (ie. old fashioned) about it.

Naw. I make it a point to try and be considerate of everyone.

But it's like a black person using the term 'nigger'. Morgan (Heidi's best gay friend) was the first person to dub her a fag hag in the first place.

ok erin...people get offended by fag, it is like calling a black man a nigger (or at least so ive heard from some of the gay people i know). that's probably why people were offended, not that anyone really cares who's offended *chuckles*. I have eps. 46-54!!! :p~
