So. Fuckin' McCain. The moment he said "pro-abortion" I was pissed.
OK, let me start with abstinence only education. How are we supposed to raise every single girl up to never have sex, ever, unless she wants a child? Never mind the fact that the byproduct of our fabulous free market society is pressure on girls, even young girls (gotta make ( Read more... )

Ugh I'm so stressed out. Work just threw all these important crazy confusing projects at me AND I signed up for the wrong class. Sometimes, at the end of the day, things seem unable to be overcome. At least that's how I feel a lot. I'm tired. Now putting brain on stand-by until tomorrow.

So there was an earthquake today! My biggest one yet. I was in my biology lab going over heritable traits between shaded circles and squares. When it started I was like, huh, I think that's an earthquake, and then I was like, wow this one is big and shakey! We all ran out of the classroom and were dismissed from the class, which was almost over ( Read more... )

So school has commenced and I have succeeded in being a good student for two weeks. Today I left at 7:45 and went to two classes and then directly to the bank and the farmers market. I got home at 1 and found Gatsby had eating a box of 12 cubes of rat poison. He seemed happy enough and didn't appear to even realize what was going on until he ( Read more... )

I start school tomorrow at the ~community college~. FINALLY. I just hope that I don't get sick of school in the first week.

For about a week after the crow incident nearly every time I went outside 1-2 crows would follow me around, swooping over my head and flying from tree to tree, cawing at the person with a dog who took their friend. I had animal control come and get the poor thing ( Read more... )

so yesterday morning I was walking my dog and there was crow in the middle of the road that had gotten hit by a car and it was still alive, so i picked it up and put it on the grass under a tree so it could at least not get smushed, and i didn't think it was going to live. this morning it's hopping around in the gutter right next to the road again ( Read more... )

So recently the LA Times has had some columns about medical marijuana. It started with this one when the columnist decided to see how easy it was to get after hearing how "getting a cannabis card at 18 has become a rite of passage in some quarters" and seeing fliers advertising quick consultations. Of course, she easily got a prescription for ( Read more... )

So I know that I never update, and I don't know how many people even read this, but...I'm thinking of getting a new journal (different name, that's all). This one is 6 years old and contains a lot of crazy stuff, and I feel like I need to start over with a blank slate, you know? This here slate has stuff that I can't believe I wrote and thought, ( Read more... )
