Whoops.
I belatedly realized, or rather, was made to realize, that my last entry may have seemed like an attack or a public bashing. Let me state, as publicly as I ranted, that this was not my intention. this is a personal journal, and I go out of my way to make sure I don't have to limit who can see what entries, because the point of a public journal, or ( Read more... ) -

OKRF 2006
So many memories of this festival season, so much raw emotion... Faire (In my mind, it will always be Faire) is an amazing place, doubly so because I know I helped, in some small measure, make it so. I didn't cry at closing gate on Monday, as did most, but I felt no less sadness. I don't really think it's fully sunk in yet, that it's gone for ( Read more... ) -
"'Strong' and 'invincible' aren't the same thing", or "Who'd have guessed?"
So, in the course of a given week, I usually wear some pretty unconventional things. A three-piece suit, a kilt, spit-shined combat boots (as opposed to dingy and beat-up doots anyone else wears), leather bracers on my forearms, or my cloak. Just now, when I was about to head to the cafeteria for dinner, I reached for my cloak, but stopped. I ( Read more... ) -
Here i go again on my own (apologies to Whitesnake...)
Well, well. OSU finally let me enroll today, on the first day of class. I enrolled during what ended up being my first class, so i've already missed one. Not a good start, but at least it wasn't my fault... well, at least not that I could help. I've got a java programming class this semester, my first stab at programming. Hypothetical gods help me ( Read more... ) -
Surprise! Joe updated!
Greetings. I've meant to update for the past few months, but, well...
So... General status: I'm at college. Yay. Finally. Higher education isn't quite as... highbrow as I thought it would be. This is both good and bad. Thankfully, I seem to be able to elicit sympathy out of my teachers, for the most part, which helps when I forget an assignment or ( Read more... ) -
I was a rant-happy little teenybopper...
This is going here because I'm packing for college and I want to make sure I don't lose it. It was an assignment in high school. Don't read it if you don't want my further political opinions... interesting that I was so impassioned for church/state separation even back when I was a religious zealot. It's also not behind a cut. This is due to my ( Read more... ) -
Word, holmes.
I am the girl kicked out of her home because I confided in my mother that I am a lesbian.
I am the prostitute working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman.
I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled nights.
We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time.
I am the man ( Read more... ) -
Ranting: The other white meat for the soul
Have a look at this.
Okay. Now pretend for a moment that this is real, if you don't believe it, or whatever.
I just gained a rank in Righteous Fury from reading that. I mean, really, people. Patriotism is one thing, but I've got doubts about the common sense/ intellect of anyone who actually thinks we have any business over there ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
Okay, so I seem to have incited a (small) response, and not the one I was aiming at. To be perfectly honest, I started out wanting to write a journal entry, and ended up turning it into a rant that completely missed the point it was aiming at. I got close, but no paydirt ( Read more... )
