here's why I'll never date a guy who is not a feminist. http://www.theroot.com/views/why-i-am-male-feminist?page=0%2C0 Just something I learned about myself ( Read more... )

As I've mentioned before I want kids. I will have kids. I dunno about a husband or even a live in boyfriend, but there will be kids in my future. I will be a mother. Part of this is because I try very hard to hate kids. And fail miserably. The other day I was dancing on campus. It happened to be right by a huge T. Rex skeleton. Well ... not so much ( Read more... )

I have decided to stop calling lifts "lifts" and start calling them "moments when my legs are flailing about madly in the air." It takes a great deal longer to say, but is infinitely more accurate. Because I dance tango. And there is much leg flailing to be had. I came up with this idea after someone complimented me and my partner on our routine ( Read more... )

The problem, as I've rather comically discovered, with being a hero is it tends to get you into more trouble than you solve. Every now and then I find myself in a situation where something crazy is about to go down and ... stupidly ... I leap into action. Usually it's something relatively innocuous like asking two people in a volatile argument if ( Read more... )

I - like most of the adult and semi-adult population - am fascinated by serial killers. You thought I was going to say "like sex" didn't you? "Watch porno"? Maybe ... "consume adult entertainment opportunities". Bonobos. Aaaaanyway I think the sex and violence is what drives most people because I enjoy underestimating people and then finding out it ( Read more... )

There are some movies that are just begging to be pirated. For example, virtually anything by Disney. But capitalist manipulation aside there's a few pretexts for movies that just really piss me off. For example, I categorically refuse to watch 2012 because ... it's based on willful ignorance. That angers me. I don't watch Sarah Palin's reality ( Read more... )

I'm formulating a theory. Basically, I do not believe that there is any conceivable human emotion that is so fully inappropriate that it should not exist and furthermore, I think we give negative emotions too little room. Of course there's the argument that by denying something it only grows stronger, but even if I were to get into the logistics of ( Read more... )

Fucking SoCal strikes again: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lg3tIERI-D4&feature=player_embedded Oh, and you blondes think we're post-racial? Don't give me that "she's in a sorority" crap. This is white privilege. Right here. Bitch probably gets her ( Read more... )

I'm having the worst time getting info out of Japan. Despite my language skills or complete lack thereof, I'm getting better information out of my German connections than anything else. How weird is that? I can see why the Japanese are pissed off at TEPCO, but I love that Kan went over there and yelled at them. Regardless, I'm not actually that ( Read more... )

Still missing some of my friends in Japan. Am worried. Most of those I'm missing are in Aomori. Hence why I'm freaking the fuck out ( Read more... )
