I went to the Human Rights Awareness Conference with GSA today.
(No wounds necessary, Pat.)
It was so much fun! My first workshop was Homophobia. It was perfect and amazing, an equal combination of funny and touching. It was powerful stuff. After my other two workshops, I actually went back and told all the presenters when it was just me and them how much it meant to me as a questioning team. I mean, I definitely like guys, but I might be bi.
Then I had... ehm... oh, Dating Violence. That was not-so-interesting, but I decided to entertain myself and turned on my acting skills. They passed out brochures called like "When Love Hurts" and sexual abuse brochures, and when they did, I shed a few tears and looked like I was having a hard time.
Is it wrong for me to fuck with people?
Entirely.
My last workshop was really cool. It was called Who Are We, Really? It was about how every human is 99.9% genetically identical, and what that last 0.1% means. I really want to get my DNA tested for ancestry now, to see if I'm something other than European. I mean, I c an't possibly be pure Europe-people, can I?
They had really good peanut butter cookies at lunch. They were really incredibly delicious. Like, no joke.
At the end, Herricks High School's improv group acted out a whole bunch of really funny skits on like prejudice and peer pressure and racism and shit like that. It was hilarious. One senior was really hot. I'd tap that. In one of the skits, the guy is in a movie theatre with his girl pressuring her to have sex with him. She keeps refusing, and he's finally just like, "Fine, we won't have sex. Do you want to play a game, though?" and she's all "Fine, what?" and he's all "It's called Pearl Harbor" and she's all "Isn't that a movie?" and he's like "Well, I'll be the Americans and you be the Japs. Just blow the hell out of me."
It was funny at the time.
"Sheep Go To Heaven" is an intolerant song. Why should goats go to hell? Just because of their species, they're not equal to sheep? WHAT THE FUCK?
I want to create a club called Anti-Adult Domination League, AADL. It sounds like a crime-fighting team, doesn't it?

not true in so many ways. it's actually a stellar song.
i'm glad you had fun.
something inside of me wants to ignite when people get way too involved with the world. sometimes it is just not their place.
on the contrary, conventions/clinics can be great.
for instance:
at the end of a bela fleck concert, i spoke to victor wooten (pretty much my bass guitar idle if i had idles) about music and life. i remember asking him what was the best way to get better at playing. he replied with "just find your groove. whatever groove means to you, do it." i thanked him and told him how much all of his work meant to me. then i asked for a hug.
i think there is a direct correlation between music and outlook on life for some people, specifically me. i have no idea how this relates to your post, come to think of it. at any rate: telling people that you appreciate their skit/work/music is a good thing.
Go AADL!
I sometimes feel so controlled/manipulated by my parents. I feel like I have no control over my life sometimes. But, I'm such a hypocrit. Sometimes I actually like having everything being taken care of for me. Right now I'm feeling I want a life of my own, but I don't do anything give myself more control. What the hell's wrong with me? That's rhetorical. I can probably answer that in a couple paragraphs.
why are you always so down, henry?
