take a forty-five minute shower and kiss the mirror.

Feel quite proud of myself right now, perhaps unnecessarily, I don't know. My alarm went off at half six this morning, it was pitch black, cold, pouring down outside, and my anxiety was really bad. The thought of having to leave the house and go to uni, that morning and any other time, filled me with dread and fear, and I did consider staying at

I'm glad you were able to go! I'm feeling the same this morning! I CAN DO THIS THOUGH. I'm about to leave the house. Oy!

[fancydressmasks]

Ah, I'm sorry you're feeling the same. But you can do it! Good luck!

I managed to go to the study! :)

I so completely agree with your views on feminism. Brienne is probably my favorite character in ASoIaF for just those reasons (plus she's just a badass).

Also, I'm proud of you for making that phone call! I still haven't found the courage to do that same thing, so I really admire your bravery to do what you needed to do. Good luck with it!

congrats on first getting out of bed and second participating in the discussion!!!! It sounds like you had a lot to say and you said it (even if the professor wasn't exactly on the same page) whenever I'm really stressed about the fact that I haven't talked in class or just feeling really anxious and uncomfortable about not speaking up, doing so makes me feel so much better!! Also that gender and tv class sounds soo interesting and something I'd really want to engage with every class period!! I'm jealous!

Brienne is awesome! I love how she's made her way (and quite successfully too) in what in that world is considered a male-only role - but she hasn't done it by trying to BE a man. And even most men couldn't have gotten themselves a place in a Kingsguard, albeit a short-lived one...

Hi! This may seem odd, but I saw this entry on my flist and had no idea how I'd come to friend you (a bit of investigation turned up this), but this entry is quite interesting, so I'd be quite happy to read your other entries (which I assume are locked), if you'd still like to be friends.

And post-feminism is... complicated. I wrote a term paper on it this past spring, and the only thing that kept it from depressing me horribly was the fact that I grew up surrounded by post-feminism and therefore have a lot of practice with both ignoring its more uncomfortable aspects and enjoying the part-liberating part-oppressive fruits of the philosophy. I have yet to sort myself out properly in terms of my feminist particulars... :-/
