Did Fenchurch even have a last name?  I'm calling her Fenchurch Street.  So anyway.  Highlights from my extended family's father's day get together:

I hate the world at the moment.  It's so depressing...all the hate....I can't help but read comments on message boards/article comment sections and think that "this person means me and wants me dead".  I know they don't know me, they don't actually mean me, but if they met me, I would definitely fall in their stereotype & then they would mean me, ( Read more... )

Right now in my brain this guy and Ayn Rand are arguing with me about the future of education.  The message I'm getting from them is that there's no room in the world for people like me.  I want them out.
