Okay, I think I've figured out what I want for my BSG icon....

*points to the leftmost deleted scene*

"What is President Roslin's position on the income tax?"

...

"It's a legitimate question!"

"I don't believe the president has articulated a position on the income tax, but I'm sure she will once she finds the tax forms."

I mean, I can see why it was deleted, but... *giggles* Something about clueless journalists and Billy's First Press Conference is just amusing me right now.

*sighs*

So, somebody posted that annoying flashy image saying that "Marriage is not about Race, Religion, National Origin, Gender, Physical Disability, Et Cetera" on a couple of comms I'm in.

Wait... physical disability?

Which is pretty much what I said, prompting the reply that "well, people with mental disabilities have to be screened to make sure that they understand and consent to marriage".

Maybe I'm wrong here, but I thought that depression was considered a mental disability? And bipolar disorder? And our favorite syndrome, asperger's (let's not get into that debate again, I have a point to make)? And I suppose dyslexia could be considered a mental disability, being as how it's a disability of the mind (though I recognize that this isn't the normal term used), and ADD, and... well, other things. Heck, one could make the case that being in love is a mental disability.

But maybe I'm mistaken.

I'm not quite the linguistic goddess I prefer to be called.

But I do know a few things, and one of those things is that Languages Are Complex. Except Pidgins.

I defy you to find me a natural language where you can't say pretty much anything somehow, or which doesn't have a simpler way to say something your own language needs a circumlocution for, or which doesn't allow you to make complex sentences, or which people aren't able to learn simply. Not a pidgin, though, they don't count.

*stares at clock*

God DAMN it, when do I get to go to bed? *goes to wake up Mommy*

Edit: Oh, and let's not have a repeat of the infamous "two people defriended me and I got insulted a lot" fight, okay? I'm pissy because I'm tired.

Edit again: I don't believe it! I stay up all night to make sure she gets up (her clock is broken), and she's already up! How DARE she! *screams*

Night all. Djusk' a.

I'm bored.

Entertain me.

Acceptable forms of entertainment: Various fanfics (good), various fanfics (bad), stories of any sort (good or bad), news articles, friendly arguments.

Non-acceptable forms of entertainment: Um... I suppose flamewars. Or anything that ends up with me having spyware on my computer.

Oh, COOL!

Thanks, redlami.
