You know that doesn't wash out
This little write-up on OKCupid's survey of gay vs. straight members (heh. members.) might be one of the best things you'll see all day. The best take-away line, IMO? "Religion is the opiate of the masses, so long as the masses are straight. However, amass a bunch of lesbians and you're going to need actual drugs."
So...WOW.
And then there's this:
I am trying really hard to reach this level of equanimity about my body.
...Living a healthy lifestyle cannot be primarily motivated by wanting to look good. It’s so easy to get caught up in this self-perpetuating cycle of working out to look good and looking good to workout, especially because it receives so much public adulation. But in the end what are you? A living trophy? I am not ornamental! And neither are you!
I would just really like to fit into my old clothes again. But I'm trying to let even that go. It's hard.
On top of the usual, I think I am coming down with a cold. I am exhausted (despite sleeping okay), my eyes burn, my nose is really stuffed up but runny and I've had a slight headache for three days.
Hurray.
