Don't Judge! It's Mean.

Beware blog readers, this post may be a litte heavy. I went to the screening tonight of the movie Pariah. It was in this absolutely adorable restaurant named Busboys and Poets. The name is based off of Langston Hughes who was a busboy before he gained recognition as a pretty bomb poet. Cool huh? I went to this particular screening because I am hoping to help out with an organization such as the Human Rights Campaign while I am here in DC to support LGBT rights:) Whoohoo! The movie was about a young girl who is struggling with her sexuality. She is a lesbian but she has to hide it from her mom because she knows she will not accept her for that. It was really intense and I almost cried...almost. It really makes you stop and think about all those people who struggle with who they are and who are afraid to be themselves because others won't accept them. I think that is horrible. There was a line in the movie where her mom says that God doesn't make mistakes and she is referring to the fact that he would never create homosexuals because that would be a mistake. Later the girl says to her dad "Mom says that God never makes mistakes and she's right, he didn't." Wellll the quote was something along those lines...point is I could not agree more. God made everyone INCLUDING homosexuals soooo here's the challenge readers. Lets try really hard to to be accepting of everyone this week:)
Alright that's my serious spiel for tonight. Onto the random stuff! I have a dilemma. I don't know anyone here so who shall I share my sarcastic humor with? Answer: This blog and my readers of course! So I decided I should start giving out some daily or weekly awards to those things or people that I find hysterical, weird, stupid, wonderful, whatever you get my point. For the time being I am calling them the DC Awards for lack of a more creative name but I'll work on it, never you fear. Well we have three winners tonight of said awards so lets announce them!
1. Award Numero Uno goes to the Shell gas station for having the best gas machine card reader response ever. It, like most other card readers, instructed me to insert my card. But instead of saying "remove card quickly" it said "remove card rapidly". Yay for using a new adverb Shell gas station!
2. Award #2 goes to my new pal Marcel from Virginia Beach who approached me after I got off the metro and introduced himself because he and I quote "saw me on the metro, thought I was pretty, and wanted to say hi." What a doll.
3. Finally the best award from the night goes to this lovelyyyyy couple. Not only are you both drunk..riding the metro..on a Sunday night...at 10 p.m. but you sir clearly get the Husband Award for allowing your wife to pass out in your lap while you use her as an arm rest. He proceeded to also jerk awake everytime the metro stopped and the doors opened to squint his eyes at the sign to check which stop we were at and then pass out again. When they finally did reach their stop, he shook his wife awake and tried to get her off the train. She may or may not have completely fallen on her butt on the way out the door so he had to help her up while we all watched. Congrats.

Well that is the end of my awards. I spent the rest of the night jamming to T Swizzle on the way home while not concerned at all that my gas light was on because, hey I like to live on the wild side. Jokes papa bear, I was actually terrified and in a slight panic but dont worry Kia is filled to the brim now so all is well! Night:)
