I was telling Cara tonight that I've been feeling like I didn't do enough during election season, and she lectured me for about five minutes about how the work I did was hugely important and impactful ( Read more... )

The Day of Silence: quite the conundrum. The idea, of course, is to call attention to those who have been socially oppressed, or “silenced,” by refusing to talk for a day. Done en masse, the silence is hard not to notice. Nearly everyone will experience a friend or classmate who is not talking, but instead wearing some sort of band or other ( Read more... )

So, I've now been home for about a week and a half, and have been enjoying being able to relax and not worry about schoolwork or anything. I've gotten to hang out in the drama room a bunch and I helped with Zombie Prom auditions. (yes. Zombie Prom. It's going to be awesome.)

So, I've been slowly getting ready for college, figuring out what I'm going to bring, buying cool new stuff. And I've been going through the books I used to read all the time - I want to get through all my childhood books before I go off to college. Isn't it strange how much people change while staying the same? And now we're all going to ( Read more... )

I Love...
dancing in the rain
dancing anywhere
swimming in the river on hot days
being impulsive
kidnapping friends
re-reading old favorite books
reading new books
registering for new classes
trying new things
walking around town without a particular destination
making a difference
doing nothing
