Sometimes I forget that Nebraska is different from New York. They have lots of coffee shops, cool streetwear clothing stores, art galleries and medical research centers. But these things do not a progressive area make. Since I am generally inundated in a academic culture, I can loose sight of the context of my surroundings. But then things happen, ( Read more... )

Hi, I'm clockworkari and I have a vagina.

Apparently, to some people this means that in the upcoming election, I should be voting for another vagina. This makes sense to men, after all, they've had the luxury of voting for penises their entire life. So their logic dictates, if they vote for penis, I should be voting for vagina.
I haven't had this luxury. I've ( Read more... )

So according to the local Lincoln, Nebraska news, I'm going to be an "expert" on female violence ( Read more... )

Watching old episodes of Daria got me thinking about the massive changes I've made throughout my life. Case in point, I can't believe it's actually hard for me to type these words. There was a time when writing expressively was so easy and natural, and it seems now sometimes unless I really get inspired that I have to struggle with what I want to ( Read more... )

But at least you get a free gift, so me staring outside your window drooling and naked is just a tradeoff.

Just put this in your journal (if ( Read more... )

For the past two days, the "Genocide Awareness Project" has been on campus. Basically, they equate genocide, the systematic elimination of a certain ethnic or cultural group based on hate or greed, with abortion. Because ya know, I hate babies. So I'm going to go and get pregnant just so I can get an abortion just because I hate babies so much ( Read more... )

So apparently I've been waking up and feeling this overpowering sense of foreboding, like something horrible is going to happen. Don't ask me what it is, I wouldn't be able to tell you. Just a feeling of fear. I've been anxious lately, but this always happens whenever I'm in some sort of transition; upon first encountering said transition I slowly ( Read more... )

Nebraskans is weird people. The town I'm beginning to really like. It's absolutley adorable, filled with coffee shops, cool stores, some good food (amist all the west-mex velveta cheese nachos) and there seems to be a lot to do, which I haven't taken full advantage of because I'd rather sit in and hang or I'm studying. Plus, it's pretty cheap to ( Read more... )

I keep forgetting that I am indeed a socially awkward individual, and it is hard for me to talk to people right away. Thankfully, I've already made a good friend, I think, and I have one or two aquaintences, but I don't really know anyone else in the program.
