I was skimming through the New York Times webpage and decided to check in on the whole gay rights thing, a topic I generally go to great lengths to ignore. Sigh.

Maine voted out gay marriage, fyi. But that's not the important part.

I wasn't too depressed by the article itself. There was still hope, still a sense of justice on the horizon. Sure, it ( Read more... )

A few notes:

. I am disappointed that my professor gave me an A on a paper. I realize that this is entirely elitist and disgusting of me, but I am. I feel betrayed. It was a B-, at the most generous. If you expect so little of me, how will I ever manage to expect more of myself? How could you be so idly satisfied with me? I am more than this to ( Read more... )

Things I am (should be) doing:

1) Therapizing kinders - good!
2) Research on morality development and manipulation - good!
3) Studying for the GRE - bad...
4) Writing cog paper - bad...
5) Writing Lit term paper - bad...
6) Everything else... sigh...

Things that make me happy:

Some thoughts on sexism:

1. Men and women are fundamentally different. They do not learn the same. They do not experience the same things. They are NOT the same. That does not mean that they don’t have a whole hell of a lot of common ground, very important common ground critical to the human condition. But they are different. They are NOT “equal ( Read more... )

Kara, after I told her I thought she was secretly straight and insisted on calling her future life partner Henry: “You’re a dick. You’re the only dick I’ll ever need.”

Thx Kara, that’s one for the wall of quotes <3

It also inspired me (in the middle of stat/research class) to write a song (parody). Perhaps you are familiar with Avenue Q.

Dear Brunette,

The library is practically empty. I can literally count the number of people here on one hand. There are many, many, many open computers. I did not invite you over here. Furthermore, I am not a warm, welcoming person. No mistake could have possibly been made regarding this reality. So why did you feel that it was necessary to sit ( Read more... )

Um. Recently watched Jennifer’s Body. For the same reason I watched the McCain campaign: hot lead chick. Much like the McCain campaign, perhaps one of the most retarded things I’ve ever seen, and yet it still scared me. However. Megan Fox. Say what you will. But damn. DAMN.

Putting down the slack.
