Day of Silence

[willowisp]

I decided to participate in the day of silence to protest treatment of LGBTQ folks. I wore my National Coming OUt Day shirt from last fall. It went fairly well, except when I got some packages in the mail. I really wanted to say "hello" and "thank you" to the desk attendant. I decided to end the speaking silence at 5:15, which is when my classes end on Tuesday and Thursday, though I will not be playing facebook games until tomorrow. As I half-joked on Logrus, I got more farmville gift requests in the twelve hours after I announced the silence than I usually do in a given week, and that maybe I should have vow of silence days for controversial causes more frequently. </cynic>.

Oh, and before anyone passes judgment due to my playing farmville, it was callicrates who got me into it.

There's no way I could have observed a day of silence on a work day in my office. I want to participate in a different way to get attention for this problem.

Oh, and I play The Sims. I therefore cannot laugh at anyone's choice of video games.

(Edited for spelling.)

I play WoW and have a lifetime acct to LotRO. No judgment passings going on here.
