But I got into an argument with some guy yesterday about my parenting. He kept saying that by me being a single mother and not having a man, my son is suffering and will grow up girly, get picked on in school, or be gay.

This really pissed me off. To me, I’m a lot stronger than most single mothers. I want my son to have stable relationships in life. So since i don’t have a serious relationship with any man, i don’t bring any around my child. Other women bring any fling around their kid, and i think it’s selfish and unhealthy for the child to have people yanked in and out of their life.

I told this guy that sexuality isn’t a choice, therefore cannot be influenced. And if my son turns out to like boys, then so what. But then the dude argued that I’m practically making the choice for my son by raising him alone.

Now, what i said was true. If my son were gay, I’d support him and love him all the same. My brother and i are and always were extremely close, and he’s gay.

But i feel like a hypocrite. It wouldn’t bother me if he were gay, but at the same time, I’d prefer it if he were straight. I can’t help it and it makes me feel bad.. I’d just rather him like girls, but if he likes boys, so what.

But now I’m starting to worry if me raising my son alone really will make him grow up differently than if he had a man around. Please don’t bash me or give me hate, I’m just wondering about your opinions.. Will a male being brought up in a strictly female environment suffer any or be more likely to be feminine as he grows?

The Fukang Meteorite

Back in the year 2000, an incredible meteorite weighing 2,211 pounds was discovered near Fukang, a city located in the northwestern region of Xinjiang, China. Named the Funkang meteorite, it was identified as a pallasite, a type of stony–iron meteorite. With 4.5 billion years in the making, its golden olivine mixed with silvery nickel-iron to create a stunningly beautiful mosaic effect.

Pallasites are extremely rare even among meteorites (only about 1% of all meteorites are this type) and Fukang has been hailed as one of the greatest meteorite discoveries of the 21st century.

It has since been divided into slices which give the effect of stained glass when the sun shines through them. It is so valuable that even tiny chunks sell in the region for $40 to $60 a gram. An anonymous collector holds the largest portion, which weighs 925 pounds.

Dat olivine

that’s a big fukang meteorite

I applied at Hallmark.

And so help me, if I get hired and I get a discount for being an employee, I’ll buy that whole friggin store.

There are SO many adorable things in there! Especially for kids! And yeahh, definitely over priced, so if I get a discount, I’ll go nuts <.<

That’s where I got Damien’s favorite book, the Jingle one with the interactive husky. And I just noticed today how much owl stuff they have, which is what I’m doing my room at my grandma’s in.

I foresee myself losing a lot of money in that store either way.

I finally did our hand prints :)
