Lauren, Corri and i went around Karrinyup looking for a stool. They only had these mini-chairs that were sold out. Stools are surprisingly hard to find.

This Hot Chip song: Colours, is making me happy, it’s all electro and synthy. Tommorow, is a good day. Everyday i’m reminded of how much i appreciate my mum. It’s so corny, but she went and found some of the score for my house song and although it was too late, i still love her, because she faxed it to me :)

my favourite thing about thing about the English department at Stmary’s is that it is quite left winged and open minded. My English teacher for example got us to study this movie about a Transgendered man who went on a journey with her son without telling him that she was a man and she was his father. The son (Toby) then falls in love with his father. This was partly because at a young age he had been sexually abused and earnt a living as a prostitute, and therefore hadn’t grasped the idea of showing love in a non-sexual way. This movie shocked so many people in other English classes and some were outraged that the teacher would show them something like this.

The response from this film made me think more about how society still has so far to come with accepting mixed gender and respecting the decisions of others relating to their own identity. And now i can bring up the government (yay). So the Rudd government is still not legalizing gay marriages and although they have been pushing for acceptance in the gay community, theres still this discrimination of gays through not allowing a couple to establish themselves in society. As long as there is this idea of sweeping gays ‘under the rug’ there will be aggression little acceptance of gays in Australia. There’s been this argument that marriage will not be as ’special’ or ’sacred’ if gays are included in the marriage process. People have criticized gay marriages as opening up marriages between friends. The underlying problem is that there are people who don’t see gays as being a real relationship and that marriages are specifically for men and women being a ‘matrimony between a man and a woman’. I think old tradition needs to step down and let a new, accepting future  step forward so that we can advance ahead without leaving the gay community behind. So! i just want to say that gay marriages should be legalized and Tasmania should go and grow up!

were you waiting for me to talk about art? haha, i tricked you there. (Sorry, i like to pretend i have control).

Well, it’s art camp tomorrow and i’m not ready. It was jaz’ birthday today yay. I’m actually really looking forward to art camp.

back to gay: how cool would it be if the greens got voted in, we would have a gay prime minister, that would be so awesome! also, we would have the greens running *sigh*
