badbastionHello all!
It's so great being back home that I've been neglecting my online activities. I've tried to skim through my flist, and I've bookmarked a few fics to read, but other than that I've been going to the beach and hanging out with my family and stuff. It's so great :D
There are, however, not-so-great things about being out in public. One of them is that in the South (and probably everywhere else) people are opinionated and feel entitled to share their opinions with complete strangers, no matter how offensive @_@ So I went with my sister to Boy Scout camp to pick up a nephew's fishing rod that he lost, and while I was waiting, I stepped out of the car to smoke and had this awkward conversation with another smoking man.
Him: *gripes about having to smoke in the parking lot*
Me: Yeah, they're pretty much making most places smoke-free these days.
Him: They won't let you somke, won't even let you dip. But they'll let the faggots in.
(Now, this was kind of a slap in the face for me. It isn't every day, or even every year, that someone just throws that word up in casual conversation with me, so I was kind of shaken.)
Me: That is offensive.
Him: What?
Me: I am offended by that.
Him: *tries to justify it by explaining how since they've allowed homosexuals in the Scouts, people have stopped donating and many lodges have had to shut down*
Me: I think I'm glad they're letting them in. And I think we shouldn't talk any more, because I'm gay.
Him: Oh. *HUGE SIGH*
So, I went around to the back of the car and finished my smoke, and I told my sister about it on the way to the lake. By then, I was over being shaken by it, and I found it funny how robotically I delivered my "That is offensive" and "I am offended by that" lines, lol.
So, it was recently National Coming Out Day, and I officially did that a few years ago. But, if you didn't know, I'm bisexual. I consider myself/sometimes call myself gay or queer, because that's a lot easier to explain/easier for people to understand or believe than bisexual. So hi, I'm badbastion, and I'm bisexual. I love people in all shapes and sizes and colors and genders and orientations.
Commissions! I'm working on them. Life got really busy last week, but I'll be putting my nose to the grindstone this week and getting some serious progress made. If you're reading this, feel free to prod me in a week if you want to know where I am with your commission. Otherwise, if I don't have a rough sketch or any progress to show you within a week's time, I'll email you and let you know I haven't forgotten you. Even if you're not reading this, lol.
One more thing! I have a very special place in my heart for this meme, because it was here that I posted my first two pictures and my first fic in the SPN fandom. It's a great meme and it produces some wonderful fanworks, and I think EVERYBODY should take part in it.

Date: 2014-06-23 10:40 pm (UTC)Oh lord. I'm glad I've never been in this situation because I would totally had said something in the lines of: Is it a dick that you're picturing when you suck that cigarette because you're so far inside the closet, or are you just this big of an asshole? And walk away with a smirk on my face. Not that he's gay, but if you gonna feel the NEED to insult a group of people because of their sexual references and compare it into something that actually causes people to die, then there must be some issues with you. Because I know people that don't agree with the LGTB and they don't go insulting and making this kind of comments.
Anyways, may he find his way toward the pussy or dick that will take that stick out of his ass someday.
On my side, take all the time you need with the commissions.
I'm looking at the Meme waiting to see if there's anything that grabs my attention, but the prompts are coming slowly.

That's hilarious, because it was actually a big fat cigar.
I hope he does find someone to pull the stick out of his ass.
The prompts are coming slowly, but it just started today. I'm hoping it'll pick up :) I love that meme!
