Canada, I love you.

I was awake at 4.00 this morning due to a nightmare I had. Those occur rarely enough that they always take me by surprise when they do. But anyway, it disturbed me enough that I didn't/couldn't go back to sleep immediately so, well, it seems I was lured to the lj side of the force, finding myself cruising my flist at 4.45 am. Okay, why not.

But the very good side of the story is that I read about The News before they even made it here - I mean, everyone was busy being asleep here while Canadians were busy showing their awesomeness once again, as well as their respect for, you know, people - so I woke up to the wonderful news that Canada's House of Commons passed landmark legislation Tuesday to legalize gay marriage, granting same-sex couples legal rights equal to those in traditional unions between a man and a woman. Can't say I'm surprised - I have a lot of faith in Canada, as it happens *g*

This is another step, it means it's still going forward, this is just... beautiful beyond words - and it certainly gives you hope *g*

Oh and since I was at it, I also sorta read some new Numb3rs slash [Larry/Charlie] namely Making Out and its sequel Dinner For Four by [livejournal.com profile] miriam_heddy and really I'm enjoying that author's work a lot. I'll send feedback when I am 100% awake.

Okay so now, I think I'll try going back to sleep *rubs eyes tiredly* I could sleep in today, might as well try to take advantage of it and go back to Morpheus' arms.

Damn, no, Spain was about to do it and it got rejected at the last minute it seems. So, Netherlands and Belgium it is around here - sorry *g*

Hopefully more and more countries will get with the program and hop on the bandwagon *is hopeful*
