Melony Louise's Natural Habitat

To start, it is so damn hot I'm wearing a bra and jeans. The idea of a shirt is that ridiculous.

Second off, Spiderman 3 rocks, except for the last twenty minutes and the corny aspects. I don't want to give anything away, so I'll leave it at that, but if you want to start a conversation on it with me ... we'll see what we can do.

Okay, now onto today. Today was my last day of school (minus my finals on Tuesday) and it was the coolest last day for one reason. (Note: the following quote is not of my actual beliefs and will be explained after it, so don't start to read it and go OHMAHGAWD WHAT AN ASS and run off.)

"REPENT:
Hypocritical Christians, Hebrews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, and all other false religions.
Sodomites, pornographers. pedophiles, fornicators, cross-dressers, lesbians, adulterers, transvestites, and all other weirdo sex perverts.
Scoffers, the prideful, athiests, agnostics, idolators, and all other clueless fools.
Murderers/babykillers, liars, thieves, corrupt politicians, and covetous moneygrubbers.
Boozers, dopers, revelers, mouthy women, girlie-men, & all sin loving heathen.
OR PERISH!"

Now, at first, I watched this crazy fundamentalist's first sign go up, and heard vague talk of campus police, and I realized that I did not agree with anything this man was saying or going to say, but that I wanted to defend as hard as I could his right to say it, even though I know he wouldn't do the same for me. It was odd for me because, even though I say I'd do such a thing often, I never feel like I truly would.

Then, as he had conversations with my friends (who he set up near, saying "I'm at the right spot with you folks around". Yeah, he's a dick.) and people began to come up and read his signs, three kids came up with signs. "Fight Ignorance," "This is stupid," "Crack is whack." Then the man began to preach. Then came "Free compliments". Then came the crowd. Then the photography major. Then the Ghandi quotes and the Embrace Diversity signs. By now there must be eight people with signs at least. Then the guy who walks on through singing "Highway to Hell". "Homophobes are just upset because they can't get laid." "If he's here, who's running hell?" All to the sound of him preaching contradictions, people arguing with him for something to do, a cumbaya version of "Why Can't We Be Friends?" By the time I appeared with "Free Hugs From a Mouthy Woman," (he kept asking for a free hug sign) he only planned to stay five more minutes (he was already there about an hour at least at this point) and there was even more people with signs. The whole vibe was so cool, I'm not sure I can even explain to someone who wasn't there. I mean, to see the quad full (when usually no more than twelve people are chilling in it at one time) was wild.

Most of all, it made me think in some sort of deep way, which was nice because I starting to feel like my brain was drying up.

(I wish I knew how my phone worked in the way of picture upload so I could share the [albeit shitty] visuals)
