“Proposition 8 fails to advance any rational basis in singling out gay men and lesbians for denial of a marriage license. Indeed the evidence shows Proposition 8 does nothing more than enshrine in the California constitution the notion that opposite sex couples are superior to same sex couples.”

- Judge Vaugh Walker’s officially overturns California’s ridiculous Proposition 8, deeming it unconstitutional. ABC News is reporting that “Judge Walker’s verdict will likely be appealed and may ultimately reach the U.S. Supreme Court, where experts say a decision could transform social and legal precedent.”

It’s only a matter of time before same-sex marriage will be legal in all of the United States. I can’t wait to live in a country that won’t tolerate such discrimination. What a proud day that will be in American history!

Things that happened over the weekend:

• Went to a small BBQ
• Spent some time with friends
• Went to my very first Farmer’s Market
• Tried my very first fresh cherry – it was delish!
• Did my grocery shopping at Trader Joe’s for the first time
• Took a drive to enjoy the sunshine
• Found a park with river access and walked barefoot in the sand
• Watched 4 more episodes of Battlestar Galactica Season 4.5
• Accidentally destroyed the promise ring Sam gave me 2 years ago – while it was still on my finger! – and then cried for a half hour because I cannot explain how much that ring means to me and now it’s ruined (the full story is coming soon)

Given that The Ring Incident might still be too painful to retell, I’ll leave you with a Quote of the Day:

“Even as a junkie I stayed true [to vegetarianism] - ‘I shall have heroin, but I shan’t have a hamburger.’ What a sexy little paradox.” — Russell Brand, My Booky Wook

P.S. The vegetarian “thing” is going quite well. I’ve now gone 11 days without dairy or eggs, and 8 days without meat or meat products of any kind. My body is getting more and more adjusted as the days go by, and I’m feeling great overall. Our kitchen cabinets currently look like healthy people live in our house; it’s quite a sight to behold. I must admit that I’m quite proud!

“He’s like Jim Morrison meets Charles Manson meets Jesus meets a little bit of Elvis. He’s a walking genius. Just standing next to him makes me smarter. He’s good for me. He’s not a pussy in any way, shape or form. He’s the boss; he calls the shots. But I like that. I’ve been waiting for someone I couldn’t steamroll.” - Katy Perry on her fiance, Russell Brand

“I miss honey on toast. It’s fucking remarkable.” - Sam

“Women need to protect themselves. You put that condom in your purse and save your own fucking life.”- Lady Gaga
