72% of Australians support same-sex marriage! in Adventures in paradise

If I could detail every single, dirty, nitty-gritty, sexualised detail of my brain, or even write it down here, I'd look back at it and think I had a huge problem. Maybe it's because I've been stuck in a bed for going on two weeks with nothing to do but think, but my mind has been pretty promiscuous lately. Not that I've acted on any of it, as it wasn't even an option unless I wanted to hack up lung up all over someone.

I am definitely gay. As if you guys needed any further proof of that fact LOL. All my fantasies over the years have always revolved around guys. Not once, ever, has a female entered my fantasies. I guess that's a good enough point in time to put a label on my sexuality, even though new-age people label labels as stupid. But hey, if I tell someone I'm gay, at least they know. At least it's out there. It's such a vulnerable thing to tell someone, especially early on. These days, I'm as happy to tell people I'm gay as I am that I'll drink a mocha occasionally.

And in 99% of cases, no-one cares. I mean, who in their right mind should care what someone else likes to do in the bedroom? That's what I've always found preposterous beyond all-hell. That people like my father exist in this world. Or the Australian Prime Minister and the Queensland Premier.

There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think how backwards this country is in regard to equal rights. I still remember writing on OpenDiary back in 2004, TEN YEARS ago, how stupid this was, and I really feel like I should be slamming my head into the desk over how stupid it remains to this day.

Yesterday, a variety of polls showed that support for same-sex marriage in Australia is up to 72%. I knew previously it was around the mid 60's, and I guess in light of Australia's best ever Olympian, Ian Thorpe, (^cough^ finally ^cough^) coming out, it was time for a new poll, and wulluh - people don't give a shit!

Of course, I couldn't help but focus on the 28% of assholes who remain (I even made a tweet about it which one random person kindly retweeted lol), and I'm near sure I could put most of my extended family in that percentile, because, guess what? They have a bible shoved up their noses.

But my family are the kind of people who would write off the tons of now-out celebrities (despite cheering for Ian Thorpe in the Olympics) in favour of the gazillion-year-old book. Fucking drives me insane.

Anyway, I'm kind of sick of repeating myself, so I'll write about something else.

Today I'm feeling better. I'd moreso call it one of the 'better days' over the shitty ones, like yesterday. I'm convinced it's the medication and I'm just focusing on finishing the prescription, which I have worked out to be about next Tuesday I should hopefully have it over with. The cough is remaining however, although noticeably a healthier cough than the one I had last week. I'm back going to work and doing my shifts, although it's clear that I'm not my usual happy productive self at work, and I know this because I can feel it within me. I'm working at about 60%, maybe 70% of how I usually do, and it sucks. Which means gym still hasn't returned, at all. I just have such a little energy. I find myself needing to use the restroom at work after only two hours, just to catch a breather. I tell you what, I'll certainly be taking the plunge and getting my first flu shot next year. I'm already thinking negative about it, convincing myself that the shot itself will make me sick. I just don't want to go through again what I have this Winter.

By the way, when the hell is Winter going to fuck off this year? Last year, I'm SURE it only hung around for a month, but this year it seems to be lingering! I didn't have my heater on last night however, as I felt hot for some reason, but my app on my phone still told me it was 10 degrees outside. I guess that's better than the 3 degrees it was last week! I hate Winter. I always have. I find it's so much easier to cool myself down than it is to warm myself up. I already can't dress myself to look decent, let alone when I'm throwing on layers of mismatched shit just to keep myself warm.

I'm off to Vish's place tonight for dinner with his boyfriend and Carly, which will be nice. I will finally be able to give her her present which I was meant to give her last week, but I simply wasn't well enough. So it's about a week belated.

She asked for a plain, purple dildo. Nothing too fancy, and this is what I found in an adult shop whilst in Sydney.

I also managed to find some gorgeous wrapping paper (above) but it looks tacky now that I've dodgily wrapped it up :) I did find a card also, since it's late and all...

I also activated a debit card online today, with a bank I never even use anymore. I didn't even know the old card had expired. I guess a spare card could always come in handy in case I lose my main one or whatnot, not that there's any money on this one :P

I also activated my new staff discount card. I'm not really sure why I even needed one, but I'm sure the company is up to something.

I also did my tax! It wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be, going off some complaining facebook people who had done theirs. Most of it was all there for me, and it appears I'm getting a little bit back, which is better than nothing!
