Thanks for this one, Jake. It is so delightfully middle school. In fact, it reminds me of the time Dillon went around "telling people the truth" all day in middle school.

Dear friends and family:

Please do not become alcoholics. They are quite frustrating.

Thank you.

William is playing a video game, and I am ignoring my academic responsibility. We are both eating pizza ( Read more... )

I could really use some Firefly right now. I would like nothing more than to watch Wash play with his dinosaurs, Mal be in love with Inara in total denial about it, and for Kaylee to say, "Shiny!" It would probably be fun to watch River freak out, too.

Homework just pales in comparison!

For those of you who do not know, I am president of the Feminist Discussion Group at a mostly white, Catholic school. The faculty rocks, and some of the students do (many of them are robots), but the administration mostly blocks the rock in a very stereotypical way ( Read more... )

I have a lot of pent up anger that I just don't know what to do with. I'm really afraid that some day it will all come out in the wrong place at the wrong time. There are so many things I have wanted (and in some cases still want) to say to people that I just keep inside.

I sounded like I'd never even heard the soundtrack (which is laughable, really). So later in the car, after I handed William the iPod to DJ the drive, he put RENT on. We sang our little ( Read more... )

Over the last year or so I have slowly started to realize that I am becoming my mother.

In some cases, this is great! My mom's smart, capable, funny, and introspective. She's also occasionally self-center, chronically late, and sometimes, for lack of a better term, a bitch. So you see we have a dilemma.

Here's hoping for the best!
