Instead of making the phone calls I needed to make today, I spent my day running all of town with my mom and attending the second meeting of a 14 week program called Eating and Moving for Life (or as I like to call it "Losing Weight for God"). If you have caught on yet, it's a health program to improve the lives of people in my town. In its ( Read more... )

So tonight was the second episode of the third season of the show.  I actually dislike the show because it's soooo glamorized, very upper middle class, white lesbians.  It is such a stereotypical show.  That said it's the only thing on TV representing lesbian life so I watch it just to see lesbianism affirmed.  The real problem with watching the ( Read more... )

I seem to be having one of those days, weeks, moments when I can't seem to do anything right. No amount of investing my time, energy or concentration seems to make a difference. I am someone who believes that anything is achievable if you work hard enough for it. If this is true then why the hell is live journal pissing me off. I currently can' ( Read more... )

So I originally wanted to do the overrated new year's resolution bit but my mom has pissed me off. But let's start with last night. My mom "rocks in" the new year at church. This church does a holy new year's party. I was forced to go years ago when I was still in college, but I'm an adult now and I never go. Mind you there's a lot of guilt ( Read more... )

I am slightly fascinated with Angelina Jolie. It's not that she's attractive because she's isn't as attractive as everyone hypes her up to be. I love Jolie as an actress and what I know from media coverage of her as a person. I know I sound soooo naive, but it's true. I love the fact that Jolie is a humanist though I do find her global baby ( Read more... )

My mom bought me a camcorder for christmas. She was a bit disappointed that I wasn't more excited about it, but I'm not sure how to feel about it. It's a really nice gift and I am super appreciative, but what the hell am I going to do with a camcorder? This is where i'm stumped. It's one of the things I've never wanted or wonder what I would do ( Read more... )

I'm soooo excited because I have my driver's permit! Not a license yet but I figure that getting the permit was the first major step and since I have been planning to get my license since I was 20ish (I'm 26 now) this is a major accomplishment for me. So now I just have to get behind the wheel of a car and practice. This should be easy since I ( Read more... )

So I want to move to portland. Anyone who knows me knows that this is my goal, but where are the people of color? I really don't want to live my life as the token black in a lily white landscape. I know that the west coast in general tends to have a large asian populace which I am extremely grateful for, but I like living in places with lots ( ( Read more... )

The thing about the internet is that it is both real and unreal. There are people who love the cybercommunity because it is a space in which they can be whomever they want to be. I think this is when cyberpeople become unreal, but I know plenty of people who would disagree with this statement. I on the other hand am who I am on and offline. I ( Read more... )

I guess that I should attempt to say something profound...I really have nothing to say. Livejournal is a little complicated for me, but that may be because I don't spend enough time playing around the site. I still have nothing to say so i'll just go to bed.
