April 13, 2005 - Day of SilencePlease understand my reasons for not speaking today. I am participating in the Day of Silence, a national youth movement protesting the silence faced by lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people and their allies. My deliberate silence echoes that silence, which is caused by harassment, prejudice, and ( Read more... )

The Long Emergency

Well, the Grandparents have arrived. This morning, Dania and Michelle graced me with there company, and cleaning abilities. Wow. Haha, I think it's so cute how excited Dania was to clean, it was great. What amazing friends, helping me clean, feeding me, what more could I ask for?! Y'all rock my spiffy new socks! *big hugs*

I went to Linens n' Things ( Read more... )

HATE CRIMES BILL PASSES SENATE FLOOR!
MEDICAL DECISION MAKING ACT PASSES HOUSE FLOOR AFTER CONTENTIOUS DEBATE!

Years of lobbying and educating lawmakers on the scourge of violence towards the LGBT community have finally paid off…
Suck on that Bush! Yay MD.
Anyways, finally through with the week. I don't think I could take another week of this horrid ( Read more... )

I just choked on my water... :/

Ok, all better. Anyways... Been extremely exhausted. I made the mistake of staying up every night on break, so I couldn't go to sleep at the normal time on Sunday. Got about 4.5 hours of sleep then, then 5.5 last night. This is horrible. Mix that with the fact that I'm not getting home 'till around 9:30-9:45 (depends ( Read more... )

This morning I was completely a waste of human flesh. It was great.

I asked how long the Betty Friedan thing would be, they said about 1-2 hours long. Unfortunately Jill couldn't come ( Read more... )

This rain is mean. I was friggin stir-fry crazy all day. Woke up around 10, then pretty much did nothing all day. Kept looking out the window to see if the rain let up. Around 2, (after mopping the upstaires hall) me and my sister traveled around Friendship Heights. It's gotten so much more boring in the past years. Gah. But, I stopped to get some ( Read more... )

Well, I guess break won't be too horribly boring. Last night I went out with Lauren, and we met up with the 24/7 horny Chad, and perpetually stoned Noah, and another dude Kevin at Caribou coffee. The people who work there were awesome. Hilarious. Gave us free cookies ('cause Chad knows them, I guess). I picked up a job application, too. But yeah, ( Read more... )

WE GOT A ONE!!!!

I can't fucking believe it. Honestly... I'm wondering if Mr. White was sleeping with the Judges, or what the deal was. A ONE!! (the best grade you can get). Our performances were only mediocre at best, and there were a few sticky spots. And our sight reading was worse than shit, and hardly anyone played. (Yet... the judge gave us a ( Read more... )
