I Like Grape Juice
It’s true; I do!
Very yummy~
April bought some ‘Welchs White Grape Juice’ for me as a joke – and I love it! It’s delicious and bubbly and sweet~
Of course, I should explain the joke…
Her surname is even ‘Vineyard’ XD
I’ve recently started playing Star Ocean: The Last Hope (International Vers.) on the PS3. It’s such a great game! It’s a Tri-Ace and Square Enix collaboration, so as a Square Enix fan, I knew the graphics would be awesome. And they are. The cutscenes, of course, are fantastic, but even just in the in-game battles, the amount of effort put into the CG is really impressive. You can see the characters’ weight shift when they jump, run, or attack – it’s all very awesomely realistic.
Anyway, one of the characters in the game is called Welch, and she’s your liason. Funnily enough, she wears grape purple – albeit with fluoro orange tights!
So, yes, the delicous grape juice reminded April of Welch, so she bought it for me ❤ She’s a sweety. But yes, if you get a chance, try it! It’s yummy ❤
Equal Love <3
On the 12th of May, thousands of people gathered outside of the State Library in Victoria for one of the largest local rallies for a very important cause – equal rights for gay marriage, the Equal Love rally. It was a massive event, with a star-studded line up of speakers including Charlie Pickering and Magda Szubanski. We shouted and cheered ourselves hoarse with the rest of the crowd, but we’ll get to that in a minute.
April and I got there a little early, so we wondered around Melbourne Central, and took some tourist-like photos of the old Shot Tower – everyone who visits/lives in Melbourne needs one of those, right? (Hey, don’t judge, it’s really cool!) We then headed across to QV, where we bought some of the super-dooper new chocolate from Cadbury’s, the one with the jelly, smarties/m&msand poppy candy. Yeah, that’s right – popping candy. Armed with that and a bottle of water, we headed to the grass of State Library to wait for the event to start.
At first it was pretty quiet. We sat in our very colourful outfits and chatted, and nearly exactly on 12pm, we look up to find that BAM! People have appeared everywhere! We wander around a little, checking out the cuties and reading the placards – there really were some great ones, too! – before heading as far as we could to the front where a small black tent had miraculously appeared.
One by one, the speakers – politicians, civil rights activists, parents, celebrities – came out and addressed the crowd, which covered the entire lawn out the front of the State Library. They guessed there must have been around four thousand people there at the time! We cheered and clapped ’til our throats and hands were sore. The speakers were encouraging, optimistic and moving, while still remaining clearly dedicated to the idea that the fight for marriage equality wasn’t anywhere near over.
But, as they reminded us, it had come a long way. With Barrack Obama coming out to support equal rights, as well as two independent Members Bills before Parliament, we can only hope that soon we’ll only be able to tell stories of the fight for equality, and have people listen in disbelief at the fact it took so long to achieve. After all the emotion, the rousing speechs, the cheering and tearing up, the rally concluded around 2:30pm.
It was a good day.
We can only have faith that it will make a difference.
We will keep fighting for equality.
We believe that no matter your gender, your sex, your orientation, your race, your birthplace, or your age, you should not have to suffer discrimination. While you a free and upstanding member of society, you should not be punished for conducting your life within the bounds of the law, even when it deviates from so-called ‘social norms’.
Of course, there was a whole lot of fun at the rally too~ When we were sitting on the grass, there was a hilarious group of guys behind us whose loud conversation provided us with plenty of entertainment. “Is that your nightstick, or…” One of the gentlemen quipped to the lone pair of policemen patrolling the grounds around the State Library. Of course, April has both a better memory and delivery of this hilarity, so I’ll leave it to her to elaborate.
To those of you who support the fight for equality in this issue, thank you. To those of you who question the need for it, or outright oppose it, let me leave you with this message of April’s:
“Let me get this straight – what you’re telling me is: ‘equality isn’t for everyone’?”
