And sometimes I get really mad at my history class because some of them are super ignorant and think Islam is "weird" but today, their reaction to seeing Michelangelo's Pieta made me markedly less homicidal. I don't want to be incredibly fucking patronizing about this but it was kind of adorable. It has to be the reason anyone becomes a teacher ( Read more... )

I have had I Shall Wear Midnight on hold since AUGUST. FUCK YOU, OTHER LIBRARY PATRONS. :E I should just... buy it... and Amazon will ship it to me in like 3 days ( Read more... )

Even though I'm agnostic, sometimes I still pray by reflex, not because I have occasional spurts of faith or because I believe anyone's listening or even because I ever prayed faithfully as a child -- it's just my own thoughts echoing inside my head until I fall asleep. Usually I pray something like "please let me die" but tonight I found myself ( Read more... )

This is what I don't understand about Dayton fucking Ohio. If you're some asshole with a mullet and a Lincoln Townscar, WHY go 40 in a 45 and 30 in a 35? Life is already shitty enough. Why actively make it shittier and shittier for everyone behind you? And don't play it like your car sucks so bad you can't go any fucking faster, because you ( Read more... )

Today she's showing the Invisible Children documentary and I can't watch it again because I have shit to do and I can't cry all day like I would if I were there right now. This is what I think about basically all the time: that the world is shitty and people are awful and yet, it's not all completely bad, but that is worse, because if everything ( Read more... )

If someone talks about how they're mad at America and they want to move somewhere like Sweden some day, maybe it's not a great idea to wander in late as fuck and go "America's pretty okay!" Maybe that is just like. Really unnecessary and snotty even if you didn't mean to be that way. This isn't like "man I don't like this TV show, I think I'm gonna ( Read more... )

Two strange little things in the dreams I just had: one featured someone that I thought of as Loki, though I can't give you any description really, it's just that it was definitely a trickster and sounds more like Coyote. What happened is that he was forced to wait somewhere for someone, and he got bored, so he created another one of himself so he ( Read more... )

Petty complaint of the day: my mom told me yesterday that we were going to have lunch with my sister today, at a really good Indian place. I don't know if you know this, but my sister and brother-in-law are like the only people I care to talk to in person any more, and the only things I care about are eating and writing. I fell asleep around 5AM, ( Read more... )

Your Muse: a character you would normally like or be interested in RPing with but it's posted in musemostwanted so you prepare just to cringe instead
Muse wanted: a character that seems like it should be easy to find because they're fucking everywhere OR a character nobody ever wants to play OR doesn't matter I just want someone for me, I mean my character, to ( Read more... )

I just went and wrote down all the alcohol that is currently in our basement. Now, I don't know much about drinking, on account of the fact I can taste and am disgusted by the alcohol in cough syrup, but I'm pretty sure our collection is bizarrely shitty. Here's what we have ( Read more... )
