Alright. Day of Silence... I'll just copy it off of one of the little papers I'll be giving out tomorrow...
"Please understand my reasons for not speaking today. I am participating in the Day of Silence, a national youth movement protesting the silence faced by lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people and their allies. My deliberate silence echoes that silence, which is caused by harassment, prejudice, and discrimination. I believe that ending the silence is the first step toward fighting these injustices. Think about the voice you are not hearing today."

Aww, how cute ^_^ Penguins! Evil penguins! Evil Mafia don Penguins! They're always good for a laugh XD Heh. I liked it so much, I turned it into my DA id. I made a slight modification, however. www.deviantart.com/view/9181737/Heh, nice touch there using 3 different species of penguins. Not exactly Mafia or undead but definitely evil. I like ^_^

[glow=red,2,300]People are idiots. T_T[/glow] Pot calling the kettle--*smacked for bringing humor into a serious subject* ...yeah, people are idiots sometimes. And always will be. =/ Don't get me started. I don't know. Some people just don't know enough to leave others alone.

I know ^_^ It's on there, it's just that no one's put in an entry for it. =/ Elcie, Day of Silence is where highschoolers who support GLBTQ (gay lesbian bisexual transgender questioning) youth don't talk for a day. It's tomorrow. Ah that is what I was missing. Bi. You forgot queer. Ah, did I? Bother, I did. *learned it as GLBT so... yeah* But questioning at least is a good add-on. ...Speck, do you mind if I steal that? >.> Since I have to make up my own notecards or letters or whatever to give my teachers.

Hey, we did the Day of Silence at my school! It was hilarious. This one guy was using hand gestures for everything. I didn't actually do it, but the people who did were amusing.

Yeah well I looked up queer and it basicly means not-straight. so it is kind of repetitive. Questioning is a good add-on I must agree. I was happy when I learned I had a name. To bad there is no information about Questioning on the web.

Um... It was copied from the slip of paper that one of my GSA president's gave me. You can use it, as it was on the Day of Silence website (dayofsilence.org).

XD *has had that happen to her before*[/glow] I've been timed on how long I can go without laughing. My worst time was negative 2. Yeah it wouldn't be hard for me to stop talking. I'd rather be listening anyways.

To bad there is no information about Questioning on the web. Yeah, that was my thought about adding queer on there. But yes, questioning is good. I think I learned about that before I realized that was what I was, but it's good that it's acknowledged as well.
