Awesome! I just got my first random good telling to/gay bash in my guestbook. From an anonymous source, of course. No, don’t bother clicking, I’ll just post it here.

So you think you are god's gift to human grace because you hop from coffee house to coffee house drinking on an empty stomach reading a fucking dead language that more than half the men whom spoke it were homosexuals. Saying stupid shit that make no sense to anyone except yourself like "born to play the funky ceili" just because you think it makes you seem intellectual and clever. Coming up with random assenine theories about hoaxes and conspiracies to make your audience (or yourself) believe that you have any kind of original thoughts, which you most certainly don't. The saddest thing is that you try so hard to sound intelligent that it would seem that it's the only thing you've got going for youself, which by the way let me tell you, doesn't amount to a grandma's fart. Nobody cares about your stupid "deep thoughts" about coffee and mall shopping. Don't try to hard to generate original and useful thoughts, you might kill the last living brain cell you have left. Fag.

from You suck

I am thrilled to hear that a casual description of my day could make some so defensive. Someone is also put off by the entire corpus of Greek literature because some of the people from that culture (more than half!) were gay. They also say this as if I were somehow unaware of the homosexual element. Well I am aware. I’ve also been called a fag before and probably will be again. It doesn’t bother me. Really.

But do you understand the curse of being me now? There is no need for me to try to sound smart. There are plenty of people who think I am showing off and trying put them down intellectually even when I am just acting like a goof. Well, here’s what’s what. I make no apologies for my natural abilities. I make no apologies for my curiosities or the hours I’ve spent the in the pursuits that are pleasurable to me. I will not shoot myself in the foot to protect others from feelings of insecurity. If that should cause anyone to choke on it, well… that is really their problem.

As ever:

Born to play the funky céilí,
