Totally Krossed Out

Grabbing her case, Joyce, Mel, and her mother walked out of the room and out of the building. Once outside grandmom reached into her pocket, lifted Addy out and putting her on Mel’s shoulder. Arriving home in the middle of the afternoon, they decided to just have a snack, and for dinner, they will order Chinese food. “Is there anything you would like to have for a snack?” grandmom asked the fairy. “Not really,” the little one replied. “But I enjoyed the spaghetti we had last night.”“ I thought I saw you slip food out of the kitchen last night.” grandmom said looking at Mel. “We just happen to have some left, and I put it in the freezer to save we‘ll get it out and warm it up.” “I will take some too,” Mel said. “If there is enough, we will all four have some.” Joyce said as she opened the door and got the bowl from the freezer.” “I didn’t know you believed in fairies and stuff like that grandmom,” Mel said as she sat on a stool next to the kitchen counter. “Ho, yes,” grandmom said. “Ever since I was a little girl, smaller than you.” she continued. “ Getting up from her chair she continued, “It’s been a long and exciting day for me. So I need to take my beauty nap.” Stopping just before she went out the door into the hall, she turned to Joyce and Mel. With a serious look on her face, she said, "This is a big old house for one old lady." “It…

He needed to train it or something. Every time he opened the door, he always got out, usually ensuring an encounter with her. "Pasta come inside and get washed up for dinner" His grandma yelled out. He always hated that name. It's like his parents wanted him to get picked on. He got them to call him Pas instead. "I saw you on your way back from Mrs. Patterson's house, did Pete get out again?" she asked. " Yeah I got him though" He said slowly continuing the daily conversation. "We should really…

As we finally got out of school, I met up with Jack and got on the bus. As we sat down in our regular seat, I asked Jack what the new Halo was like. “Well,” he said, ”It’s really awesome! The graphics are in 4k! They look so good! And, The story so far (I haven’t played much, so that we both don’t know what's going to happen) is amazing! It’s been thought out very well.” As Jack said all this, it only made my anticipation of the game grow. I could hardly wait! Well, Jack told me more of what…

is calling me a friend; you are causing a lot of chagrin for me; get up and get out.” “Oh sinner! You said you will give me half your kingdom; now, when I asked for a cow, you are giving me a lecture? I will seize your kingdom with the help of my student!” He continued teaching his students including Arjuna. In the end he was asked what guru dakṣiṇa he wanted. Arjuna also asked. He directed Arjuna to win over King Drupada, tie both his hands and bring before him. Arjuna went to war and…

like discrimination, being looked down at, seen as worthless, or looked at as either teen moms or gangsters by society. All these barriers that Latinos have to deal with prevents them from coming out as an LGBTQ+ member because Latinos fear that they wont be accepted by their family due to culture. Coming out of the closet and being latino is really crucial because Latinos are not always accepted within their cultural grounds. Latino family 's tend to feel strongly about tradition, culture and…

“My Diary: Documented. Done.” By L. Canale describes the journey of a girl whose father finds out that she is gay. Coming out is not something that you have to do once and its over; you have to come out to different people all the time. Canale’s coming out doesn’t go as planned. Her father finds out before she can tell him and he begins rejecting her right away. Not everyone’s coming out story is the same, and people in different aspects of someone’s life can take it differently. In Canale’s…

How many of you have heard this Microaggression used in your daily life? I have experienced another Microaggression recently which happened this Semester which involved a friend of mine making a Facebook Status about Coming Out. I saw the post on Facebook and wrote a comment expressing that I was happy for them and that I support them. Hours had passed and then I found out the status was a joke written by friend number two on friend number one’s account. Friend one also commented something…

Homosexuality is a word that many people throw around without really knowing what it really is. Webster dictionary defines homosexuality as being sexually attracted to people of the same sex. It shocked me that less that 5 percent of Americans identify as homosexual. Maybe that’s because in my friend group alone I have four really close guy friends who are gay. In this paper I am going to talk about the history of the gay rights movement, personal coming out stories from friends and the bullying…

The fact that he was hesitant to come out to one of his Catholic friends is an example of this. The bible has taught many people to label homosexuals as sinners and so many religious people label homosexuals as deviant people who are going against the word of God. My friend also talked about seeing people in older generations who were not necessarily religious, but still conservative label homosexuals as deviant and unnatural. He thinks a lot of that comes from their generations having less…

It’s always the hardest thing in the world to let out a secret that you’ve been holding in your whole life. The day I first told my biggest secret, in that exact moment, my mind couldn’t decide whether it was the best or worst decision of my life. It was January 1st 2014, the beginning of a brand new year. Usually when theres a new year approaching, people feel as if they need to change something about themselves. Change can be a new style of clothing, to a different hair color. But no matter…
