Bisexual Atheist, I am so going to hell!

Wow, so I am going to hell!

If there are two things that get bad press it's atheism and bisexuality.

I am going to compile a nice little list of media misrepresentations of atheism and bisexuality.

Just to my lil readers know, I am not a baby eating succubus!


Ok so here we go, basic instinct...murderous, promiscuous bisexual.
Kate Veatch in dodgeball - slag, sorry having her cake and eating it bisexual (though I love the film!)

ok that's just so far.....will edit laters! Please give my any more people you think should be included

I found this link and was over joyed,so scroll down to the categories and find one you like http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main.DepravedBisexual This website is addictive. and http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main.HollywoodAtheist

My sis says she does not understand bisexuals at all.... all I can say is.... it's all about the love. She has her type of woman, I have my type, other people have their type, they may not all be the same type, Blondes, fem, butch, post-op, gingers, Japanese, geek, pop-tart, metal-head, air-head whatever! Love is love and as long as people are loving and not hating, it's all that should matter.

As for Atheism, I have asked Oli, that if I ever start believing he should have me committed, no conversion or seeing the light for me thanks.

What's the point in raising awareness!?

I have tried really hard this year to raise awareness, I have 126 "friends" on facebook, a handful on twitter. I asked who cared about FMS, emotionally blackmailing people into noticing upset me. Only 14 people anwsered to the question and the quiz, none of them family. So where am I going wrong? Is it because I am an average jo? Is it because I go on about it all the time? Is it because no one cares about sick people, or understands? Is it because it's not relavent to them?
People prefer commenting on things they can identify with, and being ill or having FMS may not be one of those things. A "friend" asked me what FMS was......... how can a person who knows me, not know about fms? It upset me because I spend time asking "How are you?" How are your family?" To realise what's the point in having selfish people around who want you to reply to their commentry but will not care about replying to yours.

Bitten by the blog bug....here's another.

I love my Dr's! A lot of people rant about how their doctors are pants.....I have been looking after myself pretty well with advice from the intertubes and also pop along to the Dr's. Their advice is SPOT ON everytime, they give me good advice and they refer me where needed (I have been refered for 2 lots of CBT, and now going to see ALFA http://www.manchester.nhs.uk/health/healthy_lifestyles/alfa.html) All of the Dr's there have been super stars....If you live near me ask if they are still taking on (which is think they are)

This is there address and phone is here http://www.manchester.nhs.uk/local/map.aspx?area=19&services=2&service=88

Parcel Force Forced Parcel Pain! Contains A Swear!

Damn it, I sent a letter of complaint about this rude guy who saw I could barely stand up (bad knees day) then proceeded to hand me a parcel in my left hand (weak) which I dropped and swore (motherfucker!) Here's the letter anyway.


Hello, I have just had a package delivered (10.30am) and the delivery man was extremely thoughtless. He buzzed the flat repeatedly when I could not get there quick enough to answer him, I signed for it having to lean against the wall to do so as I use a walking stick in my right hand and also write with that hand. Then, after he watched me struggle because I could not support myself without my stick, he handed me the package (of 4+ books) in my left hand and promptly turned and left. I had to drop the package as it was too heavy for me to hold in the one hand, I swore, quite loudly as it really hurt me. He could have placed it on the floor for me seeing that I was struggling. This man was very impolite and thoughtless and caused me pain. All I'd like this time is an apology from yourselves and the delivery man and something to cheer my flat up now that I can't leave it today while my left wrist and arm recover and shoulder recover. (I’d gladly talk specifics about my disability if you need to.)

Typing one handed,
Claire Smith


This guy has really pissed me off with his ignorance and uncaring attitude. Disabled-Hater or ignorant git? Either way, that's no excuse for not being a decent human being.

These things I assume:

These conditions are not my fault.

These conditions don't get in MY way. (Proved by acheivements, my motivation and the love I give to other people.)

I may have days where I am limited to do one thing but the sky's the limit for everything else.




UPDATE: I have had a reply and an apology from the customer service people, they are going to contact the local depot (which is up the road from me) and see what they say.

I drewed this!



I did this after being inspired by playing some Star Wars RP last night! I may do another one with Stormtroopers, don't steal my idea!
