Pre-mature apartment hunting and ranting about gay marriage.

So, I'm bored, and I'm just going to write about a lot of stuff. Whee.

Lately, my friends are pushing me to get an apartment with them next year. I would absolutely love to. The only problem is the cost. If I could earn a lot of money this summer, I would be fine, but I doubt that is going to happen. The second option is my parents. An apartment, depending on where we get it, will be between 350 and 450 a month, which is not bad at all compared to the price to live on campus.. but I would have to convince my parents that this is a good idea. So far I'm working with, smaller meal plan, so much cheaper than the dorm, no parking pass, etc.. etc. We keep talking about it and it needssss to happen. We are looking at the Gables right now. Originally we were looking at College Suites, which is really nice, but about 75-100 dollars more. The Gables are fine. Furnished, only have 2 bathrooms, but since we are all roommates separately right now.. we could handle 2 bathrooms. And I like the kitchen set-up of the Gables.

My main reasons for wanting to live off-campus are:
1) I am going to be a freaking college senior, seniors don't live on campus.
2) I am going to be 21 and I don't want to sneak alcohol into my dorm like someone that is underage.
3) Cheaper, much cheaper than living on campus.
4) More meal options. I'm the type of person who will go out and buy something to specifically make for dinner. I love cooking.. and I would love to make my own dinner every night.
5) No checking people in.
6) After a long night at work, being able to come home, grab a beer, sit on my couch, and talk with my roommates before we all head to our respective rooms.
7) Hopefully my boyfriend will be here and I'll have my own room and stuff :P
8) Being able to decorate the apartment!

I could come up with so many more reasons, but I'll stop for now.

..originally I was going to rant about gay marriage after talking about that, but I don't know if I want to. Because, once I start, I don't know if I'll be able to stop. I will simply say this.. the Bible says the marriage is about love.. not EVERYONE believes what the Bible said.. banning gay marriage is like forcing everyone to believe what the Bible says. I'm a Christian, in the loosest way, and rather open-minded. Marriage is about love. You marry the one you love. Who are we to restrict people by forbidding them to marry the ones that they love? Straight, gay, bi, transsexual, whatever, it's all a choice. And marriage should be a choice. It IS a choice.. it is a huge decision that you make. And if someone who is gay wants to marry the one they love, then they should be allowed to do that. I still can't believe that Proposition 8 was passed in every state that it was proposed in, but alas, they are not going down without a fight. Which makes me happy. I hope they win. Marriage is not man + woman.. I want to punch people in the face that say that.

Here's the correct formula: Marriage = LOVE.

If I was ever debating gay marriage with someone and they threw out, "Marriage equals man plus woman," I would punch them in the face say, "Marriage equals love you dumbass," and kick them down, and spit on them..

This rant was inspired by a Dr. Phil commercial.. apparently he is having a debate about it.

So.. I'm gonna go now, do.. something.. probably just sit here.. but.. I'll just keep ranting if I don't stop.
