Corvino: in the jury box Corvino By Corvino, columnist, 7:50am EDT “Are you married?” It seems like a simple question. But on closer glance, much depends on context. In this case, the context was jury duty. I was Candidate #13, sitting in the box during “voir dire,” the process wherein the judge and attorneys ask questions in order to weed out potential juror bias. “You know, you can get out of jury duty by telling them you’re,” a friend had told me the day before. “Just say that because you’re not allowed to, you have no in the legal system and can’t promise an impartial verdict.” But I don’t want to be excused from jury duty. I consider it my civic duty. And it doesn’t interfere much with my job (philosophy professor), since I defer my summons until, when I don’t teach. Besides, as much as I resent my exclusion from marriage, that resentment scarcely affects my to jailed and innocent people freed. And so there I sat, eager to serve, as the judge asked each juror a standard list of questions. “Where do you live? Do you recognize any of the people involved in this case? What do you do for a living? Are you married?” “Oh, shit,” I thought to myself. “Are you married?” should be a simple question, and at one level, my simple answer is: No. I live in a state (Michigan) that constitutionally prohibits me from marrying my partner, and we have not married in any other state. So, techniy, no. But legal marriage isn’t the only relevant sense of marriage. My partner, and I have been together for almost a decade. Six years ago we had a commitment ceremony, publicly promising to, honor and each other for the rest of our lives. We merged our assets and melded our lives, and as far as we and our friends and most family are concerned, we’re married, and the State of Michigan can go screw itself. FULL STORY:
want an Aries? year of the Rabbit
So one day I was reading my horoscope and decided to read my personality profile. Turns out that just about everything that describes an Aries is true about me. Same thing when I read about characteristics of those born in the year of the Rabbit. I know that many people really use these signs as a way of seeing who they'll date and whatnot, so I figured I’d make it a little easier. The following is provided on horoscope.com
Symbol: The Ram Element: Fire Group: Emotional Polarity: Positive Favorable Colors: Red
Key Body Part: Head Chinese Zodiac Counterpart: Dragon Ruling Planet: Mars Cross/Quality: Cardinal
House Ruled: First Opposite Sign: Libra Lucky Gem: Diamond Period: Mar 21 - Apr 19
As the first sign of the zodiac, the presence of an Aries almost always indicates the beginning of something energetic and boisterous. Not much holds this sign back. They're eager, dynamic, quick, and competitive. When it comes to getting the ball rolling, an Aries is the best. Pioneering everything from work-related projects to parties with friends, these folks go for the gusto.
Strengths:
Courage, determination, self-confidence, enthusiasm.
Weaknesses:
Impatience, silly arguments, allowing fear to limit choices.
Charismatic marks:
Athletic body, youthful attitude, a need to take the lead.
Likes:
Comfortable clothes, taking the lead, physical challenges, individual sports.
Dislikes:
Inactivity, delays, work that doesn't use one's talents.
Best environment:
Any situation that requires action, courage in the face of fear, competition, and freedom of choice. Aries individuals are better outside being active than staying close to home.
Aries in Love:
This wildly flirtatious fire sign certainly takes the initiative when it comes to romance. They're quick to move when someone catches their eye. But to keep an Aries' attention, the person needs to be as energetic and as exciting as they are. This is a passionate sign that loves adventure. When a fire burns, it really burns! Whirlwind romances are common for the Aries personality. But once love sets in, it's generally for life. As long as there's plenty of spice and excitement to keep the blood pumping, the relationship will be strong and long-lasting.
With all that said I want to add that I’m a soft-butch. Please, do not confuse that with just plain butch. I’m basiy a tomboy, meaning I do dress up and put make up on and I do have my sensitive side. I’m also very traditional in a way, I hold the door, offer my jacket, pull out chairs, get you a drink if you have a cough even if you didn't ask, buy you lil knick-knacks, take you out and treat you to many things. I guess you could say I’m a gentleman in a woman's body. Also, to quote a song, I’m "a lady on the streets but a freak in the sheets".
Thanks for reading.
