I get a little distracted sometimes. I'm planning an essay on freedom of expression and then I'm just perusing lists of banned books. You should take a look at some of these, they are good for a laugh. Brave New World was banned for its criticism of censorship. Go Ask Alice, the book that convinced me never to do drugs, is censored because of too ( Read more... )

So I'm walking into chapters, and this guy walking by stops, looks me up and down, and says "Damn, girl." Are you kidding me? Is this a rap song, you freaking pig? You can't have actually just said that? I say none of this, I don't even slap him, because there are little children very close by that seemed to belong to him. But I still can't believe ( Read more... )

Hungary!!!!

There are no words to describe this... this crazy incredible movie (The Princess and the Warrior). I am still recovering. I mean... oh my god. It had me so transfixed, so on the edge of my seat (by which I mean tensely sitting on a floor against a wall). At one point, if I hadn't had a laptop on my lap I would have jumped up just like Brenna and ( Read more... )

Ok, so it wasn't that bad. But it wasn't in any way good, except for the snow and the movie we are watching in film studies (oh Tom Tykwer, you put me on the edge of my seat with your dissolves and ever moving camera). FLA was dull. Social was so frustrating! Physics was a really hard pop quiz that I definitely failed, just thinking about all the ( Read more... )

Having a nostalgic moment, and where do I come when I feel nostalgic? Oddly, livejournal. I'm thinking of how ridiculous we all were on that last day, just sobbing and sobbing so everyone's eyes were red and their glasses were dirty and their shoulders were wet from being cried on, crying so much we eventually had to laugh at ourselves but that ( Read more... )

Stupid boy. I was doing just fine. I was not thinking about him at all and I was calmly sitting in the library doing my social and I look up and he is there. So I try not to blush like an idiot but fail and we talk and then he dissapears to go take his girlfriend to lunch and I am left with a severe lack of Chris. He was supposed to dissapear when ( Read more... )

So there was a school shooting in Ohio. Four wounded before the gunman killed himself. What impressed me about this fairly short article was how they managed to mention three times that he was wearing all black. Three times! They probably used the word "black" more than they used the word "school". Is it really that relevant? Are students shooting ( Read more... )

I broke my vow of silence for a fucking telemarketer! I hate th world.

I hate physics. No, you don't understand. I HATE physics. So much. I don't care about the railway car or the stone being thrown, and I especially don't care about the comet entering the atmosphere. Not to mention I'm choking on a classroom full of testosterone, listening to endless discussions about rugby and computers. I think that with 3 and a ( Read more... )
