There are some great SOPA/PIPA ads floating around the internet today. The Oatmeal’s efforts were particularly poignant. If you haven’t signed any petitions yet, you should go here (plethora of informational articles here). It only takes a few moments to do your part. Protect the internet.

This is the second mixtape from my Love Actually series.
Their story: Listen as I introduce you to two characters in San Diego, California. Jenny is a very shy girl whom just moved in to the neighborhood with her very Conservative parents. On her first day as a Senior at a Catholic High School for Girls, she sits next to a brunette named Regina in her English class. Regina immediately takes notice of Jenny and begins talking to her, falling in love. About a week later, Regina makes a move on Jenny by holding her hand during class. Jenny goes home and thinks about what had happened, questioning whether their holding hands meant the start of a “friendship” or the start of a “relationship.” Jenny was secretly hoping for the latter. As the months fly by, their friendship grows stronger and stronger. One Friday night at the movies, Regina leans over to kiss Jenny. Later that night, they start talking about their perfect first date as a couple. Jenny explained that her ideal first date would be a romantic trip up to the mountains, where they would sleep in a log cabin and just enjoy each other’s company. Graduation Day arrives, but Jenny is nowhere to be found. Regina soon discovers that Jenny told her parents about being a lesbian a few days prior and has been kept at home ever since. Regina wants to prove her love for Jenny, so she takes a chance by introducing herself to Jenny’s parents and expressing how much she cares for their daughter. After a very long and emotional discussion, they ended up approving of Jenny and Regina’s love for each other. As a surprise, Regina drove Jenny up to the mountains for their “first date” together. She then uncovers Jenny’s eyes to reveal her perfect log cabin. They then sit next to the warm fire and spend the night together. Their relationship has just begun.
