I've switched to a new live journal account, and from now on that's where I'll be posting, so please add me on there! :)

Today I woke up at 8. The sun was up in the sky, and I didn’t have class until 10. A few days ago, my computer stopped working. So, I played my guitar. Mornings suck, but I can’t think of a better way to start one than to roll out of bed and just play guitar until the drowsiness goes away. When I stepped outside, I felt a cold sensation cut through ( Read more... )

Frequently, when I discuss anarchism, veganism, environmental responsibility, or almost anything which challenges the status quo, people claim that my goals are impossibly idealistic; that they ignore "human nature": that people are selfish, greedy, fearful beings who need to be controlled, or something like that.

Sometimes it seems so futile to visit friends, because I know that I won't be able to see them again for a long time, and how good of a friendship is it really when you only spend a ( Read more... )

 My new year resolutions are:

Make one good friend at Allegheny
Try harder to keep my friends close
Do my best to be happy and help other people to be happy

I had a little piece of a song stuck in my head for like months now, and I didn't know where it was from. I kept asking people, but no one knew. I finally found out today. It's 1/2 by Kawamoto Makoto, and it was used as one of the opening songs for Rurouni Kenshin. The only part I remembered was the "Aishteru, aishteru, aishteru" (which means I ( Read more... )
