Walking in the rain and other randomness

This morning when we left our house, it was windy and chilly but not raining. When I got in my car after dropping H off, no sooner had my door closed it started pouring. It poured all the way to work, and since I park in a lot a block away from work, I had to walk to the office in the downpour. No sooner did I sit down in my chair it stopped raining.
 
Coffee
 
Did I tell you about the coffee fiasco from the other day? No? Wow. I'm surprised I didn't jump all over that.
 
I went to my usual drive-thru coffee stand and ordered my usual coffee. She stamped my card, gave me my change, I tipped them, and drove off. I got about a block from work when I realized, "Yep. I totally drove off without my coffee." *sigh* - When I walk through the door one of my co-workers came up and said that another co-worker of ours had called and said that he was behind me in the drive-thru and they knew we worked together, so he had my coffee and was bringing it to me. So I was embarrassed to go back to the coffee shop, even though they know me after having served me for 2 years and know what I'm like (a ditz)...I went back this morning and when I pulled up they were holding my coffee for me and handed it to me before I paid so that I wouldn't forget. *sigh*
 
I don't know how to say this delicately...but...
 
When is Perez Hilton going to go away? Seriously. This whole Miss California thing is so lame. And since when is he the spokesperson for gay rights? Isn't he the one that violates those same rights by forcing gay celebrities out, like Lance Bass and Neil Patrick Harris? I'm not going to say I never go to his site...because I do. Maybe once a month I'll go see which Celebs he is hating on this month...because really? It's a cycle. When Britney was stone-crazy, he hated her. Now that she's back to a shadow of her former self, he loves her. He even has a part in her new tour. He's a bona-fide ass clown. Really. I love to hate him. My secret wish (one of them...there's a whole list ya' know) is that one day I'll wake up and go to his site and there will be a legal disclaimer that some celebrity has finally won a defamation lawsuit against him and that his site is shut down forever and he's never ever ever ever ever NEVER allowed to access the internet again. I would love that. Really really.
 
Anyhoodle - the whole Miss California thing. Yeah she probably said the wrong thing to the wrong crowd (Hello? What men watch those shows? Uh. Yeah.) And yeah, in todays politically correct world what she said wasn't PC, and yeah I don't agree with her. BUT - he asked her opinion on the issue...and she gave an honest answer. All the contestants were asked politically motivated questions that honestly, in my opinion, had no place at a bathing suit contest. Aid to Afghanistan? Check. Universal Healthcare? Check. Gay rights? Check. The one that gets blown out of proportion? The gay rights. Why? Honestly. I never would've even known about her answer had he not taken it out of proportion and ranted and raved on his blog about it, which eventually escalated to news sources like MSNBC, CNN, and my local news. And calling her a "dumb b!tch" ??? Yeah. Classy. Then again, we're talking about the same person who thinks it's funny to draw cocaine in people's noses, penises sticking out of their butts, and other assorted MS Paint doodles.
 
Who gives a flying freakshow what Miss California thinks anyway??? Why aren't people allowed to have their own opinions? Why must we force our own opinions onto everyone else? I think it's great that people don't agree with me on politics, religion, etc...that means we are a diverse group of people living in a society where we're allowed to express our opinions and beliefs. Just because I voted for Obama and believe in gay rights and am pro-choice, doesn't mean I can't be good friends with people that voted for McCain, are anti-gay rights and who are strictly pro-life. Why are we forcing beliefs on people? One of our "rights" is our right to our own beliefs and opinions. You want gay rights, but you're also trying to force your opinion on someone else, isn't that in effect taking their rights away?
 
I love one of the Tech & Science writers at MSNBC. This article that she had up today pretty much sums up my feelings on Perez.
 
Last one. I promise.
 
Not really. I just didn't want my last bit of randomness to be politically charged.
