I was going to write fluff about muses, but then I saw the news. The Repeal for DADT didn't pass. I was really hoping that it'd be repealed.
Back when I was in high school I had a whole plan set up for how I was going to become an astronaut and a large part of that was joining the military. Now I admit part of the reason I gave up those dreams was because a teacher I trusted slammed them, but another part of it was that I realized I liked girls and that just wasn't welcome.
When my parents brought up the military as a way to get out of Dodge and away from my abusive gf I couldn't do it, because I couldn't lie about being gay.
Now I'm in nursing school. One of the things that is constantly brought up is how the military is a great option once you're a nurse. I can't even consider it. I'm out. I was the president of one of my school's GSA's. I was out on a school radio program and even in a tape they show to new students. Also being pansexual isn't something I'm ashamed of. I couldn't stop saying I was. I think it would lead to depression if I did and that's not a road I'm willing to head down again, not even for what my teachers keep touting as a great career move.
Wanted to talk about crazy run away muses? Or that I got home from my last class of this semester and took my temperature. Having a 100 F temperature on the day you took the final that would decide if you passed the nursing class or not, so not a good thing.
