This is an awkward morning for me. I woke up, slightly hung over, and I've literally drank a gallon of water, I've eaten an apple and banana, and right now I'm planning on another banana and, hopefully another gallon of water.

After that, I plan on following it with a nice little glass of Dr. Pepper.... with a bit of rum in it. Hey, I have a free day ahead of me! No criticism allowed.

I've never been one to care too much about what I put in my body, but that was put.... let's say, somewhat, to make it sound a little better. This diary isn't about diet, but health. They're intertwined, I know, but my experience with health really has nothing to do with diet.

For those who haven't been paying very much attention to the recent youtube sensation of kassiedill2, many of the people who watch her videos have serious trouble in deciding of it's satire or if she's actually serious. She's a New World Order conspiracy theorist who advocates the death penalty for adulterers and homosexuals, and seems to think that our government being a constitutional republic merely means state's rights over federalism (which is only true to a degree, obviously) where in one state, they should be allowed to - as I said before - have the death penalty for gays/adulterers, yet another state should be allowed to have same-sex marriage (only if by popular vote, mind you.) This first video shows exactly why it's hard to determine if she's being satirical or serious, but I promise you it will intrigue.

Earlier (roughly 2AM), I was trying to be lame and attempting to set up the Sims 3. I had a bad evening overall, but during my attempt to set up the relatively bland game (which I fell asleep during.)

I awake to hear some yelling, which is commonplace between my mother and my sister, so I thought nothing of it. I grabbed two pillows and covered both of my ears, only to drown out the sound by maybe 1/10 of a decibel.

My sister lives with me, as does her boyfriend. Both were arrested for assault this morning (against eachother - didn't know it was possible.)

I am from Iowa.

It's generally perceived as a fairly liberal state. I live in the western edge, near Omaha, Nebraska.

In school, I always was thought of as the most innocent - as a teacher's pet. I was a Christian, I suppose.

My mother brought me to church, my father went along. My father was atheist, and I was always complacent with my religion.

My parents both conflicted me.

I do apologize if this turns into a rant, though it may have been one in my head from its inception. I also apologize for my bad writing skills and hope I don't come off as arrogant. The purpose of this is just to state why I think there are so many misconceptions about us, which many of us help perpetuate ourselves. I'm not exactly thrilled about being the least trusted minority in the country according to polling.

I've been involved with some conversations with some like-minded people whom I think may be underinformed, though on this topic, it isn't usually started by me. It often goes something like this - paraphrasing, of course:

[Something about someone being a Catholic or something is said]
Person 1: Yeah, I'm a Catholic... What are you?
Person 2: Oh, I'm an atheist.
Person 1: ....Oh...
Me: Yeah.... but what are you? What is your religion, or what are your views on it? Your philosophy?
Person 2: I just said I'm an atheist. I don't know too much about philosophy...
Me: Well, that's cool, but you still haven't answered Person 1's question.

It irks me.

I'm a completely non-religious atheist. I was raised with a mother who became diagnosed with breast cancer in my first couple of years of life, and it persisted for quite a few more years. I am not a good writer. I am not all that intelligent. And I'm no eloquent, but I've attempted to join the youtube atheist community with zero success. Here is my attempt to be heartfelt and personal about who I am and why I am.

I've been a fan of exploitation/cult films for a very, very long time. This diary is purely to ask a question. Would it be inappropriate to go to [mostly gay] bars and clubs on Halloween dressed as the infamous Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS?

She's a purely fictional character. She isn't Hitler, and is a character from a fictional movie - and of course it would be drag.

I'm just trying to see if dressing as her would be overboard. For those of us who are fans of exploitation films, do you have any other similar bold, unique characters to suggest? I know I'll need to start preparing early if it's going to be an elaborate costume like this.

For too long, the injustice of affirmative action has been decaying the fabric of our society. Even worse than same-sex marriage, it allows brown - and even worse - black people to be treated equally to me. I enthusiastically praise the recent decision of Ricci v. DeStefano.

As I'm sure you all know by now, the Iowa Supreme Court unanimously struck down our 1998 Defense of Marriage Act.

However, our opponents are contacting our state legislators far more than we have, though the actions those of us who already have are greatly appreciated - we need to thank our legislators for their previous support of the GLBT rights movement and urge them to stand strong against the efforts of those who oppose it.

I'm waiting for the Iowa Supreme Court to issue its ruling. The ruling was to be announced on its website at 8:30AM CST, however, high traffic crashed the server. Or something or other. I literally have not slept a wink - mostly because I have nothing else to do today - and because I'm just anxious and hoping the first state outside of New England to grant voting rights to African-Americans will be at the forefront of equality outside of New England once more.

...And, unanimously, it's in favor of equality! I'm thrilled. I am immensely proud.

I couldn't be more excited to vote. Nothing sounds better to me than getting this all over with - chilling with a nice manhattan in hand and watching the results roll in.

This is my first presidential election that I am eligible to vote. I missed 2004 by just about 2 months. At 21 and still living at home, I have to deal with my family's extremely Republican views, while trying to stay composed as I civilly debunk their claims and... well, brag about my candidate.

I have been wearing my Obama button on every shirt I've worn all week, it's been fun to point it out and annoy some friends of mine who don't like either McCain or Obama, but they all take it as part of my sense of humor.

Maybe I shouldn't have worn it today, though.
