			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am really vocal about gay rights. I&#8217;ve been on protests for gay rights, and often speak up about gay rights when there&#8217;s a discussion about it. I quietly celebrate when there is<a href="http://www.samesame.com.au/news/local/2606/Tassie-Putting-Gay-Marriage-On-The-Map.htm" title="External link: Tassie Putting Gay Marriage On The Map"> a small step for gay rights</a> in Australia, which constitutes to a great leap for gay people all over the world. One of my closest friends is gay, and this has caused me to be somewhat involved in the gay community.</p>
<p>This is fine. Yay for gay rights!</p>
<p>However, a strange thing that happens to me as a direct correlation of this is the idea that because I&#8217;m so enthusiastic about gay rights, I must be gay myself. Right?!?!?!</p>
<p>That&#8217;s not true. I&#8217;m not gay! It doesn&#8217;t bother me that people sometimes think I am, but really: If we <em>all</em> assumed things this quickly, can you imagine how ridiculous things would be?</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I don&#8217;t understand when bloggers say that their websites are for themselves?</p>
<p>The main purpose of having a blog is to, basically, keep a journal online&#8230; Right? Then couldn&#8217;t they do  the same thing with a pen and paper (I write in my own journal from time to time)? Why did the people who say that their blogs are for themselves even go to the trouble in the first place of making a site, spending money to buy a domain name etc. and spending time making a layout? Other people can see websites. You&#8217;re pushing for reader involvement yet again if you use some sort of <acronym title="Content Management System">CMS</acronym> as well.</p>
<p>And, also, why do the above people also have an &#8216;About me&#8217; page? Surely these blogs that are <span style="font-style: italic">for themselves</span> don&#8217;t need any information on them for <span style="font-style: italic">other people</span>? I just don&#8217;t get it!</p>
<p>Websites are a way to show things to the world very easily. Saying something is for you only, and putting it out for the whole world to see is pretty dumb, no?</p>]]></content:encoded>

<p>This happens, without fail, <em>every time </em>we have a guest over: Mum gives us performance reviews.</p>
<p>Today someone came over and about five minutes after she left Mum turned to me, ready to give me my Performance Review.</p>
<p>&#8220;Melinda,&#8221; She began &#8220;I liked how you were chatty and sociable this time, but I wish you wouldn&#8217;t make M laugh because of jokes you made about <em>me</em>. She&#8217;ll start every conversation with &#8216;Hey, do you remember that dig your daughter made about you and your&#8230;?&#8217;<em>. </em>Well, it was better than the last time. You didn&#8217;t even talk then,&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;&#8230; Thanks Mum&#8221;</p>
<p>And then she wandered off, most likely to give my brother or Dad his performance review, or to evaluate her own performance. I bet she has review check lists she fills out after every guest has left. That makes a funny mental image.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s one of her cute quirks! While being slightly irritating at times, it makes me laugh and wonder how she got into the habit. I think I may subconsciously take her advice an &#8216;improve&#8217; a little each time someone comes over.</p>]]></content:encoded>
